Tarot for self care and self exploration. A place to learn, develop and explore tarot.
Philosophical Question: Do you eat to live, or live to eat?
Card: Three of Quills/Swords Rx: Regardless of what you do with food, do it mindfully. Do it to fill yourself, not to fill an emotional hole left behind by something else
Happy Readings! 💛💛💛

Absurdity day: What senseless and silly thing can you do to lighten your day?
Card: 3 of Ink/Wands- create something nonsensical- something just for fun, just for the hell of it.
Happy Readings! 💛💛💛

Three card Spread:
All reversed, all major :
Death rx, Justice Rx, the Hierophant Rx: fear of change, dishonesty, unfairness, new methods, striking out on your own, blasting away from tradition. So much gentle indirect eye contact in these cards too- with major figures in the forefront and someone indirectly or obviously influencing them.
Happy Readings! 💛💛💛

(I did this one before, by accident, so I’m swapping it for day 8: Can a person without hope live a full and happy life):
Card: 7 of Ink/Wands: They can, but it’s a battle. Man- ain’t that the truth. It’s a battle with hope on your side sometimes.
Happy Readings! 💛💛💛
-Madame Starbeam
World Kindness Day: Who could use a bit more kindness from you today?
Card: Six of Ink (Six of Wands) Rx: Those who have failed or feel like they’ve failed. My ‘failures’ or the ways that I feel like I’ve failed. Show yourself the grace you would show the rest of the world, and show those who need it the most grace possible.
Happy Readings! 💛💛💛

Philosophical Question: Is it possible to truly experience anything objectively?
Card: Queen of Quills/Swords: No. All things are funnelled through our own intellect, our own way of seeing the world, and though it is possible to hold opinions and facts in objectivity, we are an amalgamation of our own minds.

*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! 💛💛💛
-Madame Starbeam
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.
Happy Readings! 💛💛💛

Dia de los Muertos- What can you do today to show respect and care for those passed?
Card: The Tower. I can accept that everything comes to an end, that ultimate destruction is inevitable and the start of a new beginning, no matter how painful it may be.
Deck used: The Literary Tarot.
Happy Readings! 💛💛💛

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.
Happy Readings! 💛💛💛

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! 💛💛💛
-Madame Starbeam
These are my candy cards:
5 of cups: I don’t think it counts as a candy and it might be a bit controversial but red bean dumplings/rice cakes because the first time I had them, I thought it was chocolate and I was so bitterly disappointed when it wasn’t!
The Empress: candy necklace because it reminds me of dressing up in candies as a kid!
Queen of Swords: Something sharp and sour like Warheads!
8 of cups: Whoppers or black licorice because I don’t like either of them and I leave them for someone else to eat.
Ace of pentacles: Golden chocolate coins because… of course golden chocolate coins!
Happy Readings! 💛💛💛
