Tarot for self care and self exploration. A place to learn, develop and explore tarot.
*Advice you need to hear at this time concerning your friendships: *
Card: The Empress Rx: Be careful not to smother or be smothered. Sometimes friends and people close to you need time to themselves, and they don’t need you all over them. At the same time, sometimes you don’t need friends to be all over you- make sure to communicate this though, instead of pushing people away.
Happy Readings! 💛💛💛

Use your common sense day: Where do you need to think before acting?
Card: The Magician Rx: In everything, especially areas that concern manifesting and power dynamics. How true is what you see around you, and how much are you throwing your weight around to get what you want? Where is this ‘power’ really coming from?
Happy Readings! 💛💛💛

Advice you need to hear at this time concerning your personal happiness.
Card: Two of parchment (pentacles) reversed. You’ve overextended yourself and things have fallen into chaos. There is no longer a sense of balance, and you’re spinning out of control. (I mean, I knew that already hahaha).
Happy Readings! 💛💛💛

All Souls Day Spread:
A message that your Ancestors would like to give you at this time: Card: Knight of Ink (wands) Rx: Just because others don’t see things the way that you do, doesn’t make them wrong. Reign in your pride and try to show some empathy.
A message your Ancestors have been trying to convey that you have not been receptive to in the past: Card: Six of Quills (swords) rx: You’re stuck in the past, worrying and focusing on how things were and what happened to you. Let this go, move onwards from the obsession. Look back at the good things that could have happened in the past, and take heart in what it has made you into.
How to be more open to messages from your Ancestors in the future: Card: Death
Let go of the expectations that you and others have placed on you. Bring forth a new start, new practices, new ways of honouring family and the past.
How to honor and connect more strongly with your Ancestors going forward: Queen of Ink (wands) Rx: Fight for what you believe is right, fight for others who aren’t able to fight for themselves. Don’t ignore your anger, express it in an intelligent way that illuminates the path forward.

Dia de los Muertos- What can you do today to show respect and care for those passed?

For this month’s challenge, I’m going to use my copy of the Literary Tarot, and my copy of Arcane Bullshit Oracle Deck.
I bought the Literary tarot a while back, and there was some Kickstarter drama connected to this deck, so you’ll find a lot of mixed reviews online about it. I haven’t really used this deck very much since I purchased it for a number of reasons, so I thought, why not try it for this month?
Arcane Bullshit is something that’s been in my shopping cart for ages, and the creator had a Hallowe’en sale, so I snagged it as quickly as I could. Their website and store are hilariously awesome, their mailing list is one of the best things I’ve joined in a long time, and the ridiculousness of this deck has me dying to give it a try. They’re also a Canadian creator (we love to see it), so that gave me a double push. I’ll give you all a proper review soon!
Have you purchased or used any new or interesting decks lately? Let me know in the comments 🙂
Well! I know I posted late quite a few times but I’m happy I managed to do almost every single day in October! On to November! 😀
This month I’m trying the Tarotholics Challenge, made by Twisttheleaf over on the discord server I rave about so often. You can follow me here, on facebook or on Instagram to see my progress.
The best thing about the Tarotholics’ challenges is that they have little spreads built in- about one a week. This gives you some practice with putting multiple cards together and reading the images that connect together. I don’t always find it easy, but I do find it fun! 🙂
Here’s the challenge for this month.

Tonight I honour the witch within, my lineage, my roots, my craft and my kin. Guided by ancestors from beyond the veil, what shall this night of my Sabbath unveil?
Card: 5 of pentacles, healing from loss, charity, giving to those who need it more than me, handing out excessive amounts of candy to children.
Happy Readings! 💛💛💛

As the bonfires blaze, fiery and bright what transformation awaits me on Samhain night?

A witch’s broom, a raven’s call, what secrets does the night enthral?
Card: The Hierophant Rx: a break from tradition, the norm, and all things structured. Freedom, chaos.

Oh Hunter’s Moon, this witching hour, how do I rise within my power?
Card: Nine of Wands Rx: I can’t give up, I have to keep going even when things seem hard. The end of the journey is coming, but I can’t give up yet. I still have more to achieve.
Happy Readings! 💛💛💛
-Madame Starbeam
And as the veil keeps growing thing, show me how to prepare for this Samhain.
Card: The Empress: Embrace my feminity, be creative, nurture my surroundings and myself (I did this today!)
Happy Readings! 💛💛💛
-Madame Starbeam
Of blood and bone, of skin and seed, what part of you should I embrace in me?
Card: The Sun Rx: Ridiculously unachievable optimism- believing everything in the whole world will be amazing at all times, unwaveringly positive about everything.
Happy Readings! 💛💛💛

Cards on the table, ancestors respond, give me a sign from somewhere beyond.
Card: The Hermit: The sign comes from quiet introspection, in a solitary place, that isn’t frequented by many but has many rewards to give to the patient.
Happy Readings! 💛💛💛
-Madame Starbeam
Spooky, scary, nothing to fear. What I have channelled will manifest here:
Card: 4 of Swords Rx: the sense of recovery that comes from release, the end of waiting and resting and the beginning of a new venture, moving energy and coming back out into the world.
Happy Readings! 💛💛💛
