Candles aglow, pentacles embrace, what wisdom holds my sacred space?
Card: 10 of pentacles
Celebration of growth, development of skills, returning home a victor in full regalia. Being able to achieve and demonstrate to my family and friends and community that I can and I am.
Happy Readings! 💛💛💛

Spellcast, craft or conjuring, what magick needs awakening?
Card: Page of Pentacles: new forms of stability, new financial ventures, going back to basics when it comes to growth, material things, and reigniting my job for growth.

Omens, signs, symbology, what do I follow, what do I heed?
Follow: The Star. New opportunities, rejuvenation, hope, the things that make me feel like life is worth living.
Head: The Tower (always, bb). Total destruction, serving things that don’t work, burning bridges and setting fire to the world as I know it.

Bubble , bubble, cauldron’s glean, what stirs within my soul unseen?
Card: Page of Wands: The desire to play, to create from innocence, joyful expression of ideas and creativity without judgment, or the need to be perfect.

From today until Samhain, how or where should I begin?
Cards: 5 of swords Rx, and The Salamander and Black Pepper (Inspiration)
I should let go of old ideas that haven’t served me and are just taking time away from what I need to be getting on with. I should look towards reconciling with my inner child, encouraging my freedom of thought and finding a way to broker peace with how I’ve treated and neglected my own creativity.

As above, so below, what will this path reap or sow:
Card: This path will either take away my worries and concerns about financial stability or make these concerns even worse (though if I’m going with the flow, hopefully not), so perhaps I’ll learn how to budget better and be better with the wealth I do accumulate.

Oct 1: With harm to none, I seek to see, what paths lie in front of me?
Card 1: The Lovers RX: disharmony, imbalance, lost love.
Card 2: 8 of Wands: fast movement, travel, rapid change, going with the flow. A clear choice- I’ll take the go-with-the-flow path if given the chance.
I’m sure you’ve noticed, if you’ve been checking my blog a lot lately, that I’ve been using my Morgan Greer pocket tarot deck a lot. It’s travelled with me, I feel like I have a good connection to it, and it’s small enough that it easily sits by my desk most days. That being said, I JUST got a new sort of Halloween tarot deck, that I think will lend itself nicely to this challenge. So I’ll give you a deck review and include that deck in previous posts moving forward!

Here’s the challenge I’ll be working on this month. I really like Lionhart’s Tarot challenges- I think next month I might use October’s Tarot Diagnosis challenge, as I think their prompts are also really good for mental health and November is a hard one for mental health.
This Season of the Witch challenge fits just right for spooky season though, so it’s going to be the one I try! 🙂
Please follow along, do your own spreads and let me know what you think of my interpretations 🙂

The Blessing of Dionysus: What blessing and message does Dionysus send you at the end of this challenge?
Card: 8 of swords: Don’t allow yourself to be imprisoned by anyone, yourself included. You are able to break through whatever you think has confined you, and the swords are yours to take. Just allow yourself to open up to what there is out there.
A negative card usually, but here, I’ve seen it as a blessing, not a condemnation. 🙂

The Inner God: Which part of yourself would you like to recognize and strengthen more?
Card: 8 of pentacles reversed: My work ethic- strengthening for sure but maybe also turning it more to working for me and not so much for others. Finding a balance in appreciating the work that I have done, whether others recognize it or not.
Happy Readings! 💛💛💛

What have you learned from the Dionysian mysteries? How can you apply these teachings in your daily life?
Cards: The Moon Rx, Temperance, ten of cups
I’ve removed some of the illusions in my life and begun to see things as they are. I can continue to do this to see balance and to bring balance into my life. Bringing happiness into my home and into my life through connections will help me to keep these lessons in my life
These are a nice set of cards to put together- the amount of water we can see throughout really makes me think this is also about emotions- emotional balance, emotional confusion/camouflage, complete happiness and still emotions.
Happy Readings! 💛💛💛

What aspects of yourself or your life have been transformed since starting this challenge?
Card: King of cups Rx: I’ve started to emotionally come out of my shell and have moved away from colder feelings of resentment that have manipulated me in the past. I feel like this is particularly true today, as I’m writing this. I’ve felt a little beleaguered by some of the work interactions I’ve had to face and go through recently. Simple things like personality clashes, and concerns with people being happy with what I’ve done. This has caused me to feel resentment towards other people when really that wasn’t something incredibly necessary.
I’m starting a new job in a month. It’s something very different to what I’ve been doing for the last decade and I’m both excited and nervous, but hopeful for what might come!

Day 24: The Daze- What forms of ecstasy can you find outside of traditional means?
Card: None of these cards make me feel ecstasy. Not a one of them. Maybe the Knight. That’s it.
King of Pentacles RX, Knight of Swords, 4 of swords reversed.
I can find ecstasy by no longer giving a sh!t about what others think and run, headlong into all of the things that I can fit into a day before collapsing into a heap on the floor out of pure and utter exhaustion. I mean… maybe?
That knight of swords keeps following me- I’ve got a new stalker card. Why can’t I ever have the 10 of pentacles stalking me, eh?
Happy Readings! 💛💛💛

Day 20: The Journey: What innerlike journey awaits you? What is the goal?
Cards: 3 of swords (unkind): heartbreak, pain, hurt loss (big ol’ yikes). So why? 2 of pentacles Rx: Righting an imbalance, fixing overindulging, making the lack of balance better.
I mean, I hope. This spread is pretty bleak. I can’t help but think it’s basically saying, get ready for seasonal depression BABY BECAUSE IT’S COMING AT YOUR AGGRESSIVELY.
Happy Readings! 💛💛💛

Day 18: The Loot- What can you collect or reap in your life right now?
Card: Knight of Swords rx and Knight of cups: Getting rid of one bad boy and picking up a good one?
Maybe sharper strength and ruthless boundary enforcement- taking no shit when it comes to protecting my emotions and my inner peace.
Happy Readings! 💛💛💛
