My decks for October! 🎃

The Samhain Oracle has been a staple in my October rituals since I got my hands on it years ago! I’ve been collecting the entire series but the Samhain deck is still my favorite!

I just picked up the Murder of Crows tarot today! It was a complete last minute and impulse buy but something in me knew I had to have it! The art is so gothic, so moody, and so freakin cool!

Here’s my favorite card, the Queen of Wands, to give you an idea of what I’m talking about

Isn’t she so fucking beautiful and badass looking!? The art of this deck stirs up many emotions in me which is why I’m glad I got it. I’m trying to improve my reading skills so I need a deck that’s going to excite me, inspire me, and move me so that I will be more likely to pick it up and work with it. Also it’ll be easier to cultivate a relationship with it.

I can absolutely see this deck joining the Samhain Oracle in my October traditions!

Do you have any decks that are staples for you during this time of year? Or are you trying a new one out just like me??

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.

Happy Samhain. 🤍🖤🕯️

0 - The Fool (Smith-Waite Tarot Deck - Centennial Edition) & Generosity (Whispers Of Lord Ganesha - Angela Hartfield)

Blessed Samhain / Halloween & Happy Diwali ! Today is an incredible day filled with incredible celebrations! Both a day to honour our past loved ones and a Festival Of Lights , while most may think they're complete opposites, actually create a beautiful harmony of energy. Today is a day to honour both the light and the dark within ourselves - honour ourselves and each other as complete beings. As we know, Halloween brings with it that Full Moon energy of harvest and fullpower while Diwali brings a warmth and prosperous energy. Why wouldn't these Holidays go together?

On our left we have The Fool - in all his carefree abandon. While this card typically represents new beginnings, (which if you live in the mindset, every day is a new beginning) today The Fool bring a playful innocence - a call to return to the inner child that needs to enjoy the day! He reminds us to take the day as it comes, look for the magic in the little, everyday things. Connect with your inner playfulness and let it out!

On our right, we have Lord Ganesh feeding his mount a sweet - Ganesh is known for his love of sweets, but he's never greedy. He knows there's always enough to go around and sharing with others ultimately benefits you too. His generosity is unmatched, whether it's his abundance of sweets, patience, or life lessons - it's in his nature to give. He reminds us to be generous with those around us, but also with ourselves. We have everything we need, especially when we take the time to be #grateful for it. Diwali is about celebrating with those you love, sharing in the love that you share. Remember that love and self-love are the key.

Magic is all around you, especially today! Connect with your loved ones whether they're here in the physical world or have moved on. Remember that it's not light versus dark, but how we can synergize the two as they're both two sides of the same coin. Be kind to yourself and others, and enjoy the day!

blessed samhain <3 happy new moon

i have found myself going through an immense period of growth this year. most of my energy has been delegated to surviving in such a way that allowed me to be present with my family. while i acknowledge that this season is far from over, i wanted to share my new moon & samhain reading.

the oracle card encourages me to reflect, celebrate what was, and mourn what is no longer while looking forward to a new season of growth (spring). this card is especially special to me because of the cardinal. i have vivid memories of bird watching with my late maternal grandmother and she would tell me these birds were one of her favorites. as i shuffled the deck, i focused on the memory of her. on the day that the veil is the most thin, after having seen signs from her for the last few weeks, she truly came through.

i believe the tarot cards are part of the message she had for me. strong maternal energy comes through with the empress, despite it being in reverse. the message encourages me to invest love & energy back into myself. it also affirms that i’m on the right path & that my guides are with me.

i apologize for the long winded nature of this post. this reading is just so special, and it deserved to be shared.

sending love & well wishes to you all.

i believe. i receive.

thank you

<3

OOH CAN I TAKE AN ORACLE READING /Ih

YESS OFC YOU CAN

YOU GOT: Apples

To taste, one must swallow it whole, and beneath the satin flame hides drowning waters. Sometimes our greatest enemy is hiding behind the mask of a saviour; death infused into something meant to give us life and someone pretending to be our friend is luring us into a trap. There are rotten people in the world who will take advantage of those who trust without pause.

For those of us that still enjoy a little spooky with our summer and want to collect and capture those fleeting summer moments before we dive into the best time of year, I would like to offer some fun little captions to use not just on instagram but also for scrapbooking, journaling, planning, and maybe even in our books of shadows.

Let's dig in!

Sunkissed & Spooky

The Witch is Melting

Midsummer Spooky Vibes~

Getting Lit This Weekend (perfect for a candle haul or showing spell/ritual candles)

Spice up This Summer (cold brew spice'd drinks, recipes for delightful spiced beverages, etc)

Eat, Drink & Be Scary (great for summer cookouts and evening gatherings)

Boo-tiful (day/afternoon/evening/feeling/person/scene/ etc etc)

As always you can check pinterest for collections of fun captions and ideas. I love taking pictures, but since highschool art class I've always felt the need to add descriptions rather than just a caption. I do love the idea of a October daily scrapbook journal type thing inside my book of shadows where I keep seasonal photos and memorabilia tucked in between the pages, like the giant Practical Magic Grimoire, but just for each season and Sabbat. As a side note, just this week at the Shop I work at we got our Tarot order in and I happened to get my hands on these

These two decks are lovely and I couldn't be happier!
