Diary of a Skeleton Tarot, Tarot of Twisted Shadows, Voodoo Dolly Tarot, and Halloween Affirmation Cards

October 10

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Ace of Swords – “I am a beacon of light amongst shadows,” so make sure that you don’t allow those shadows in your thoughts and inner narratives to take over.  Stay clear headed by shining a light into those shadows with counteracting thoughts of positivity and optimism, instead of surrendering to the darker shadows that are so eager to take over at every turn.  It feels corny sometimes, but it works if you put effort into it.

October 11

The Restless – Not an actual tarot card, this is one of the bonus cards that comes in this deck. Combined with “ghosting what no longer serves me”, these cards are a reminder to not allow yourself to slide into self destructive tendencies just because you’re bored and restless. Focus on putting that energy toward something good and healthy instead.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

The Empress – When you take care of yourself and your needs, everything works better. Even intuition and psychic development require self care.  In the same way that plants need water and sunlight to grow, if you’re not willing to take care of yourself and meet your needs physically and otherwise, then your body, mind, and spirit are too preoccupied with those needs that aren’t being met to allow your intuition and abilities to expand toward their full potential.

It’s In the Reach

Today’s meditation was skipped.

VooDoo Dolly TarotToday’s draw is the Ace of Coins, which is traditionally a representation of the seed of new beginnings in the area of one’s finances, resources, health, hearth and home, labors, and manifestations.

What stands out to me in the imagery of this card is there’s a crown free-floating out there in the ether. It speaks to me of opportunity and potential. It says you can do much better, reach for the gold and you will achieve your best result.

Today’s card is an encouragement that tells us that it is in reaching for better that we succeed. It’s how we build a life worth living, how we grow and succeed, and how we become our best selves. Life isn’t about failures and misfortunes, but about what we reach for and where that reach can help us grow.

HealingThruTarot’s October Shadow Work Challenge Prompt
Questions for October 11th and 13th

VooDoo Dolly Tarot and Heart Forward DeckHow are my insecurities projected onto others?

The Stars and Death – You worry too much about what might happen and when, instead of looking to the present ant towards hope and positivity. This creates a more apathetic outlook towards others as your pessimism creates a lackadaisical “everyone dies sometime” attitude that is neither healthy or helpful.

How can I overcome my perceived flaws?

Knight of Swords and Loving – Be proactive about keeping your negative inner narrative in check through loving and caring thoughts, rather than an uncaring attitude. It is in leaning into self-kindness and positivity that you keep your inner critic from eating you alive.

#DiscordTarotholicsOct2022 Challenge Prompt
Question for October 13th: Spirits: How can you improve your relationship with your ancestors?

VooDoo Dolly TarotReading Summary: Make peace with your ancestors (Queen of Swords) by turning over a new emotional leaf where she is concerned (Page of Cups) and letting her back in and allowed to have an opinion in your life (Seven of Wands).

Take Away: Let go of the history and step into a new beginning concerning those that should have loved you but perhaps did so too harshly.  Listen to these ancestors, even if the history that you have with them is unpleasant.  Regardless of that history, in the present they only have your best interests at heart.

I didn’t get fed up with the hospital and leave like I wanted to, but stuck around and waited it out.
