Weekly Tarot!  Dec 12 - Dec 18, 2022

Card of the Week: 7 of Cups reversed ✧☾゜・。

Bonus Oracle: Ancestors reversed

This week’s theme is tantalizing desire.

To stop admiring from afar and finally following the siren’s lullaby. After times of sadness, anxiety and regret, where rationality has reigned for more than it should, we find ourselves at a crossroads and with the need to make a choice. Should we stay where we are, even if it leaves us unsatisfied? Or should we go after our dreams and finally make them a reality?

This week we are being asked to be assertive and go after our desires. Creativity, beauty, and pleasure are present and welcoming us with open arms to heal the numbness we’ve been feeling lately. If in the past weeks we’ve denied ourselves of these energies, they are going to present themselves in very seductive and alluring ways, encouraging us to bite the juicy red apple that ignites our inner fires. However, we must consider two warnings before willfully drowning in the sea of desire:

A lot of options lie ahead of us, some are offering us the opportunity to plant the seeds to make our dreams a reality, others are just offering us a temporary gateway to pamper ourselves with pleasure, and some others are pure poison disguised as sweet candy. Choose wisely.

Like Cinderella, the opportunity we have here is temporary. It’s in our hands to take advantage of this energy to later create something that leaves lasting rewards later… so don’t hold on to things too tightly! If you do, you might poison the blessing, turning it into a curse.

Overall, this week is great to indulge in dreams and desires that genuinely make your soul shine brightly, and not to follow meaningless pleasures to scape reality. 

You must remember, if you don’t follow your heart’s calling and indulge in false illusions… you’ll be left unsatisfied, with a never-ending hunger for true pleasure.

The week starts with moon in Ashlesha. (Speaking of desire lol). The moon at the birth of Mercury makes today and the rest of the week especially good for going after our true desires, but with the enough discernment and skill that allows us to choose the right way to do it. Being the height of femininity, Ashlesha asks you to pursue only what truly makes you shine, otherwise you take the risk of being paralyzed by unfulfilled cravings.

☾ Blessings: Never-ending options and opportunities to make your dreams come true! If you choose wisely, you might set the foundations for those dreams to become a reality.

☾ Warnings: Beware of illusions! Follow your gut, if something seems too good to be true, it most likely is. Also, don’t overindulge in pleasure, for this card is one of the significators in tarot for addiction.

☾ Random messages/tips: 

Ask your ancestors/guides for help when in need! If you’re not sure which path to go, the universe is there to show you the way.

Some of you’ve been working hard, please rest.

Go for a walk in nature, whether it’s in the sea or the forest, the wisdom of the ancient earth is ready to be delivered to you by the whispers of the wind.

Wear something orange this week for good luck.

Appreciate the beauty around you. Recognizing the bliss in simplicity and everyday life will bring you abundance this week.

If it doesn’t make you dance internally, don’t pursue it.

Pamper yourself by watching your favorite movie about female manipulators lmao I recommend Jennifer’s Body.

Witchy Shit!

An ask from @footninja that I posted as a post accidentally. 🫣

The ask is here

HAPPY ALMOST SAMHAIN MY WITCHES!!! I may have gone a little deeper than "hippie hillbilly witch"... I've been practicing for a WHILE, and magic is one of my autistic special interests, soooo.....

All the boys are FOR SURE Pagan even if that isn't what they call it (Splinter raised them Shinto), and *very* eclectic, but definitely have their own flavors that they gravitate to...

Leo

Did you say MEDITATING? When? Where? How long? He is ready to sit with you peacefully for hours.

Want to start mixing your own incense/tea? He'll help you research and grow the herbs you need.

BONSAI ZEN GARDEN

Night time dates to ALL the secret/private botanical gardens in the city.

The first time he sees you in a garden in the daylight, surrounded by butterflies, he looses the power of speech.

When you're having a tough time at work, expect tea and a full body massage with all natural oils in a candlelit room when you get home. If you are feeling up to it, that massage can and will escalate to the most transcendent, mild blowing tantric sex imaginable, leaving you fully relaxed mind, body, and spirit.

NOTE: Depending on exactly how "crunchy granola" you are, you may find yourself in conflict with his OCD, so be EXTRA respectful of his space.

Craft: Green Witch

Element: Earth

Archetype: The Hero

Major Arcana: Temperance

Raph

Need help with Ritual? My guy is a WORKHORSE. Where did you want that solid stone altar, again?

Bardic circle like a BOSS. My guy is always down for drinks, songs, and good stories, and the reverb of his voice from his shell means you can feel his singing in your feet like thunder.

Speaking of his voice: guided meditations.

Speaking of guided meditations: guided meditations that take a filthy turn halfway through. 😏

Firetender extraordinare. Want it to burn forever? This guy can drop in literal trees that'll keep the balefire lit until next Solstice.

By FAR the most in touch with his animal side.

He's a beast who not only has NO PROBLEM chasing you, naked, through the woods, but will 1000% instigate. LOVES sex outside (I may have a story about an amethyst cavern, but you didn't hear that because it's not written yet).

Craft: Primal Witch

Element: Fire

Archetype: The Knight

Major Arcana: Strength

Donnie

Oddly accepting of the witchy shit for a techy guy. He's smart enough to know that he doesn't know everything.

Writes a program that will help you track EVERYTHING. Moon, planets, planting, hurricane season, you name it.

Builds you a whole ass Orrery, because despite his program you *still* missed a celestial event and you were sad.

Expect after hours dates to the Hayden Planetarium during eclipses, meteor showers, comets, or any other excuse he can come up with to look at the stars with you.

SIGILS ON POINT. Fractals and sacred geometry, this guy is PRECISE. Made a Mercury Square once that you're pretty sure caused a blackout. He disagrees, but he doesn't make planetary squares anymore.

A night outside of the city looking at the stars? Expect my guy to be drawing star charts on your skin, before "exploring the heavens."

Craft: Celestial Witch

Element: Air

Archetype: The Magician

Tarot Card: The Magician

Mikey

Is straight up pagan.

Beaded bracelets? Hell yes. Macrame? On lock. Candle making? Crystal Wrapping? This boy is DOWN with the Witchy Crafts.

Vibes with his semiaquatic nature on a grand scale. The first time you caught him meditating underwater you nearly had a heart attack until you remembered.

If you introduce him to your people, he will fully write and lead rituals for literally anything. Leo may be master of the Dojo, but *no one* directs people's energy like Mike.

If you even suggest it *vaguely*, he is fully ON BOARD to start a coven/grove/whatever with you as your consort.

Oddly good at High Magic, but only practices VERY rarely. Won't Oracle for evocations because the idea of having someone else in his head weirds him out, but has a 100% success rate negotiating with Otherworldly Entities.

Sex magic in the ocean under a full moon? Uh, why aren't you in the water already?

Calls himself "Magic Mike."

Element: Water

Craft: Water Witch

Archetype: The Lover

Tarot Card: Wheel of Fortune

PICK A CARD reading

What do you need to learn from your shadow?

Pile 1 -> Pile 2

Pile 3 -> Pile 4

Deck used: Seasons of the Witch Samhain Oracle

TIPS | BOOK A READING WITH ME | PATREON | LINKTREE | SUGGEST A PAC TOPIC

Pile 1

Apples

"To taste, one must swallow it whole, and beneath the satin flame hides drowning waters."

Pile 1, Apples is the card of deception and distrust. Here I will be reading it in two different ways, and it's up to you to understand which one applies to you, it may be one or the other, or even both.

The first interpretation for this card is that you need to learn from your shadow to beware about who you put your trust on. Your shadow is slow to trust because it needs to understand other people's intentions in order to guarantee you're safe from harm. Now, this isn't to make you doubt everyone and everything in your life, but rather to tell you to follow your gut and if something seems off, it might be off. All in all, you shadow wants you to trust it.

The second interpretation is a bit opposite. Your shadow wants you to be more mindful about the way you act and react to other people. It may be that you're lashing out at other people (even without meaning to) and you end up hurting the ones you love. It could also be telling you to trust more in your loved ones, you don't need to constantly doubt their intentions towards you. You are safe and you are loved.

Pile 2

Black Cat

"There's a curious journey into the depths of the unknown, hidden so deep that only the brave will gracefully return with light in their eyes and shadow leading home."

Pile 2, Black Cat is the card of independence, survival and grace. If you picked this pile your shadow wants to tell you that, at this moment, you need to value yourself above everything else. If there are people in your life that constantly overstep your boundaries now is the time to reinforce them. If these people continue to disrespect you and your space, then you might want to consider more drastic measures (like reducing contact or cutting contact altogether).

Most of all your shadow wants you to feel strong, capable and empowered, because you are much stronger than you think. This is also a time of introspection, your shadow would like you to take time to explore yourself, who you are and who you want to be.

Pile 3

Witch

"Grab hold! Allow the dwelling fire within belly awaken all that is. A mere glimpse, a delicate pull at the very roots living in the alchemy of self."

Pile 3, Witch is the card of wisdom and alchemy. This message will only apply to some of you but if you have decided to take up witchcraft and have been feeling doubtful about it, your shadow wants to tell you to go for it. You are a natural witch at heart, it will come easy to you.

With this card, your shadow wants to tell you that you have much more power than you realize. You are in charge of your destiny and you are the only one who has the power to change it. Yes, they're maybe outside forces that are hard to overcome, but ultimately every single choice is up to you (as well as its consequences). Don't be afraid of this power. Also, if that is something you believe in, it's a good time to manifest your wishes and desires.

Your shadow really wants you to believe in yourself, see what a badass you are and to act accordingly.

Pile 4

Transformation

"Like a thousand storms held in hands soft against the winds, there is a change arising from deep within."

Hello dear Pile 4 this is the card of change. Your shadow wants you to know that things have been set in motion and change is coming, no matter your feelings on it. If you are craving change it's great, if you're not you can't really stop it. No matter what, I don't feel like this change is negative, it could be difficult of course, but not something that will make your life worse. In fact, with this being a reading all about your shadow it is likely that most of this transformation will be internal. Maybe you will finally overcome a fear, a trauma or some bad habit that you have been working on.

If you have been doing shadow work I think that it is likely that you will see the results and understand things on a deeper level.

Your shadow is also telling you that this is the right time to change the things that you no longer want in your life. Take some time to reflect and then take action.

New Bone Moon

This new moon is a little bit different in that it is so close to Halloween. Because of that, a lot of what I do on the new moon will be entangled within my Halloween celebration. I call this lunar cycle bone, not because of it's proximity to Halloween but because during this cycle the branches of the trees become bare, like bones. So let's see how I prepare.

✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧

Conclusion

✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧

New Moon in Scorpio

The new moon in Scorpio is focused on death, regeneration, loyalty, trust, and power. Ironic for a time when the US elections will be taking place 🤞. It's the time to tell it like it is and be honest with people.

✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧

Planning

My astrology is kind of wild this lunar cycle and so I was hoping to get something a little more grounding from the oracle cards but... alas Apples it is.

from the Seasons of the Witch: Samhain oracle

With preparing for Halloween and a few things going on at work, I haven't had the opportunity to get into detail with my set up for this lunar cycle, as I write these posts ahead of time. I'm thinking my plans for this cycle will have to do with a lot of internal inspection.

✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧

The Bones

Traditionally this moon is called the Beaver moon for the beavers beginning hibernation. While beavers are among the animals that live along the rivers, streams, and creeks in my area, the time when the trees lose their leaves is much more noticeable and their leafless branches look like bony fingers in the moonlight.

I’ll be honest, I go back and forth for what to do for this lunar cycle. Sometimes I want to focus on the spirit I visited at the frost once again, and others I want to name the nameless and forgotten dead. Maybe this year I will try to combine the two.

✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧

The Ancestors

With the new moon so close to Halloween this year, it feels like I’m doubling down on my ancestors. I clean the altar and set out new offerings and they are what I’ve got for the Halloween celebration as well. The forgotten and nameless should get a front seat this lunar cycle too, before they get added to the main altar permanently (if they end up being amenable to it)

✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧

Conclusion

This lunar cycle is always a hard one for me to figure out. Probably because it’s such a transition time. Winter will soon be upon us and much of nature is hibernating away. There’s more time inside while also heading towards the busiest time of year.

[gefdreamsofthesea]

I debated whether or not to wait to get the Seasons of the Witch: Mabon Oracle closer to September but decided to order it now. As you probably know I love this series of oracle decks and have resigned myself to collecting all of them even though I don't follow the Wheel of the Year.

One thing I didn't notice until the oracle arrived is that it has a new artist (Tijana Lukovic). I admit that I was a bit disappointed because I would've liked to have the whole set by the same artist and the Beltane oracle was fantastic but I'll deal with it.

I don't know how to describe the art other than it has a very folksy feel. It's definitely busier than the art in the previous oracles. In keeping with the season the art has a lot of deep reds, browns, and oranges. There's a touch of the spooky that might have been more appropriate to the Samhain deck. I think my only criticism besides the fact that sometimes the subject of the art is out of focus (a good example is the "Fawn" card where my eyes are immediately drawn to the woman holding the fawn instead of the fawn itself) the artist has a thing with putting eyes where eyes should not be, which I personally find a bit weird and off-putting. I absolutely love the colours and think this would make a perfect fall deck even if you aren't into the Wheel of the Year.

I'll post some card images below:

An Oracle Reading for You!

This reading is from the Season of the Witch Samhain Oracle Deck.

My intention for these readings is to light your path the way you need at whatever time in your life’s journey this video finds you. ✨🖤💫

Watch the video here or via YouTube, then hit pause or take a screenshot to draw your card. Draw as many as you feel led to draw, and read the video description for the meanings. Please share your card(s) with me in the comments, and let me know if the meanings resonate with you!

Have a beautiful, magical rest of the year! ~J.

YOUR CARD MEANING(S):

🎃 Pumpkin: You are protected, guarded, and safe. Know that Someone’s got your back. Take steps to limit toxic people and draining influences. Get firm with your boundaries. Take a few steps back from certain relationships. Now is the time to give your energy to sources that can reciprocate.

🌑 Dark Moon: New beginnings await you at every turn—even paths you’d thought were dead ends. Release expectations, stay patient, and have hope; letting go is a powerful catalyst of change.

🍃 Crystals & Herbs: Mother Earth is calling you outside. She wants you to find healing, grounding, and strength in nature. Embracing Earth magic replenishes, especially if you feel unsatisfied, drained, or burnt out. Feel your feet firmly on the ground. Feel the light and fresh air expand your horizons.

🦊 Mischief: Embrace your inner fox. Get a little tricksy and creative. Stay open-minded in overcoming challenges in different ways. Even when problems are dark and difficult, a touch of playfulness can offer new light.

🌽 Third Harvest (Reversed): It’s time to get strategic and avoid impulsivity. Sleep on your decisions. Be your inner parent. Seek wise counsel. Do some journaling or mind mapping. Develop your skills. Look at the decision from many angles before taking the next step.

🕯️ Candle Magick (Reversed): Never be afraid to ask for help when uncertain. If you’re a believer, consider calling upon a new deity, angel, or saint you’ve never called before. If you’re a whimsical atheist (like me!), give someone you love or respect a call and ask for their feedback. Help and guidance are all around you in many shapes and forms.

🕷️ Spider: True manifestation isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme. The Spider challenges you to cast your net, then lie in wait. Don’t chase. Over-focusing on outcomes only makes you feel worse. Embrace the magic and mystery of the journey. Get out of your way!

So? How was your reading? Please share in the comments!

[oraclekleo]

hi kleo, do you have any of the seasons of the witch oracle decks, any opinions on them??

Hello!

I had the Samhain deck in hands few times but I must admit it didn't really vibe with me. I like the art but for some reason I just didn't feel connection with the deck.

Although there have been few decks in the past that didn't vibe with me initially but with time I grew fond of them. So maybe it just wasn't the right time for me to get that deck and it will come in future. I keep my eyes on the Seasons of the witch series of oracle decks and check on them once in a while so maybe when I feel the calling, I will get some of the seasons or all when they are all released. Maybe they have been already... I'm not sure at the moment. 😊

Any particular reason why you ask? Do you have any of the decks? Or are you considering the purchase?

Rockpool Publishing sent over the Seasons of the Witch: Mabon Oracle for me to review and share with you. And I think I have a new favorite oracle!!

Autumn is my favorite time of year, and this deck is infused with all those rich autumnal oranges, yellows, reds, and browns that light my soul up. I didn’t think any deck could top the Seasons of the Witch: Samhain Oracle, but I think this one does. At the very least they’re tied! Luckily, I don’t really have to choose. I get to use both this time of year.

We've got cards like Tea Magick, Corn Maze, Coven, Witches’ Gathering, Kitchen Witchery, Foraging, Falling Leaves, Harvest Witch, Pumpkin Spice and Apple Cider, and even a Whiskey card! I was so giddy flipping through this deck as soon as it arrived.

Check out my blog post on healingthrutarot.com where I dive into the Mabon Oracle and see why I say the autumn vibes are 10/10 with this deck. And I walk you through all the themes of Mabon and one of the custom spreads in their guidebook as I throw the Falling Leaves Spread with these new autumnal cards!!

I’m in  Autumn heaven.

New Hunter's Moon

Most of the general activities I do during a new moon can be found in my first new moon post. Here I want to specifically talk about what I'm doing in more detail, so this may become a little bit self-indulgent. The Hunter's moon is the first lunar cycle after the Harvest lunar cycle (either in October or November).

✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧

New Moon in Libra

This new moon is in Libra, making this a great time for examining your relationships and how you interact with the people in your life. Learning to play nice or cut them out of your life can make big changes this month.

✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧

Planning

Despite not following the wheel of the year, I really enjoy the Seasons of the Witch oracle decks based on it. Normally I would switch to the Samhain deck for this lunar cycle but we have been short on money since my husband was laid off. He has already started a new job and will be getting his first paycheck soon so my money jar has been doing its job. Anyway, because I can’t buy the Samhain deck until we are into this next lunar cycle, I am continuing with the Mabon deck. This time I pulled the Maple Tree, so have set that as my theme for the Hunters Moon.

Next I set up my calendar, being sure to mark when I need to plant garlic. Then the pages to help me plan for the full moon, the first frost, and Halloween. Along with my dream journal and tarot reading spread.

I’ve also set up the first week for this lunar cycle and done my reading around the card I pulled for October in my year ahead spread from last year. I also study an herb a month so have prepared a page to begin work with horehound.

These pages are pretty open format so I can add as the lunar cycle progresses if I wish.

✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧

The Hunt

During this time of year, animals are starting to fatten up for winter, an ideal time for hunting. This plus the effect of the cleared fields and similar lighting from the moon as the harvest moon, makes it easier to find that prey, for human and animal hunters alike. For me, it is also around this time that the state regulated hunting seasons are really beginning to open. Coming from a hunting family, this is a busy time. For me, it is important to honor the animals that are giving us sustenance. Throughout this lunar cycle I will keep watch for what people are able to hunt successfully and make sure to add them to my full moon ritual. I also hope for success and often make charms to this end for my husband to carry (I missed the opportunity to learn myself when I was young, though maybe if I take hunter's safety my dad will let me tag along).

Hunting can be seen as controversial in witchcraft spaces, but it is the hunting side of my family that cultivated my respect and love of the outdoors. It's the hunter's in my family that joined the campaign against farm lands extending into already dwindling habitat, donate money to conservation efforts, and learned about ecology enough to protect our waterways and parks as their full time job. More on how this figures into my spirituality, especially this time of year, on the Hunter's full moon.

✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧

The Ancestors

My family comes from a long line of subsistence farmers who supplemented their diet with foraging and hunting, which is reflected in our family recipes. Depending on when this new moon falls, I may make one of these recipes from what was caught this season as an offering. Hoping to continue to have their guidance and protection out in woods. If we have yet to get anything, I will make another seasonal family recipe asking for them to guide the hunters to better luck.

✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧

Conclusion

This lunar cycle can be very personal. Maybe you don't want to work with the physical hunt, but the Wild Hunt? Which starts around this time depending on where the folklore is coming from. This could also be a good time to learn about local animal behavior from your local hunters or DNR if you're just beginning to connect with your landscape. Can't wait to see how this lunar cycle shapes up for everyone!
