Now it's time to choose one from the piles below:
Take a moment to sit with it, and listen to the one with calls to you or nudges at your gut instinct...
Scroll down to find yours!
Pile reveals below...
Are you ready?
Pile A
Card 1: The Medallion reversed
What trick should you be wary of?
There are old habits and old ways which keep you anchored to some past pain. This energy involves your family or your close circle. Set aside time for reflection, so you can become more mindful of and pinpoint the things you have inherited which burden or block you.
Card 2: Death/Rebirth
What treats are coming your way?
The energy of this season is aligning beautifully for releasing the old. You’re being aligned with an opportunity to let these old parts of you die, so that you're able to travel lighter, and can grow in new ways. Let go of these old ideas, memories, and/or habits which no longer serve you. Create the space in your heart and mind, so that you're able to fulfill your highest potential!
It’s worth noting that the Death card corresponds with Scorpio Season. You are entangled in the change and transformation of this season! You will reach the other side feeling refreshed and ready for what's to come.
Card 3: Sun Bear
How can you honor this night?
At its surface, this card invites you to get on in the sun! Spend time in nature. If you can’t get real sunshine, store-bought is fine; use a Seasonal Affective Disorder lamp (best results happen in the morning hours) or begin taking Vitamin D supplements daily (consult your Doc for your ideal dosage). To make it witchier, bathe in the moonlight!
Digging deeper, Sun Bear calls upon you to give attention to the state of your Solar Plexus chakra, located in your abdominal area. This energy center is responsible for your willpower, confidence, and mental energies. Listen to your intuition while tuning into this chakra, and let it help guide you. What sensations, emotions, colors, and thoughts arise while you're focused on your Solar Plexus?
The Sun Bear is known as a great healer across many cultures. Giving this attention to your Solar Plexus chakra will be a healing experience for you overall, bringing you into a better state of harmony and balance.
Make time for solar plexus healing. See below for ideas….
• Breathe deeply
• Break out of your comfort zone and routine
• Stop victimizing yourself, if you tend to do so
• Set goals
• Let go of unhealthy attachments
• Find humor in your situation and learn to laugh at yourself
• Heal with crystals such as citrine, amber, tiger’s eye, or yellow calcite
• Repeat affirmations such as, “I am strong,” “I can,” “I am persistent,” “I am worthy of success,” “I will,” “I can face every challenge.”
PILE B
Card 1: The flame sideways/reversed
What trick should you be wary of?
Watch out for anything that takes too much of your power, leaving you in darkness; or for anything which ignites excessive heat and frustration, making your fire too hot and bright. Pay attention to what makes you feel powerless and/or angry— this is going to be your signal for change right now. You're learning to use your inner flame for the right cause, and can still find that your focus is misled from time to time.
This card could be pointing a shadow aspect that needs attention or an issue which needs your energy. Use the flame to light up the dark. Alternatively, or additionally, the card invites you to go for what you're passionate about, without holding back.
Card 2: 10 of Swords
What treats are coming your way?
At its surface, Spirit is inviting you to get out and watch the sunrise for the 31st, or at some point this week. There’s a beautiful sight waiting for you, which speaks to your Soul and soothes you at a deep level.
Digging deeper into this card, it appears that for some of you, you are being gifted an ending. The card depicts the sun rising after a dark night of the Soul. This ending can be painful, but is usually something you’ve expected. It had likely been troubling you for some time, though the resolution can still shake you up.
Finally it’s over, and there is beauty. You’re being given the chance to rediscover your hope and resiliency. Allow your wounds to teach you your greatest strengths. Let these wounds show you how capable you are of healing and seeing beauty once again.
There’s a bright, colorful new dawn waiting. Give your Soul the deep healing it’s been craving by giving into the ending. The worst is behind you. The truth all comes to light in time; any illusions on the matter will be lifted.
Card 3: Harpy Eagle
How can you honor this night?
Harpy Eagle relates to the messages your Spirit Guides are presently trying to send to you. These messages come to you through your dreams and visions. This energy is exceptionally strong right now. Do your best to open up to receiving. Set the intention, meditate, speak to the Spirits, perform a ritual, journal, whatever you'd like to do that works for you or calls to you! Then, harness the present energies around you and ask for whatever guidance or assistance you need.
Be patient, and trust what information Spirit is sending you-- this connection will be strong. Their message can come as a sudden epiphany, an inspiration, a sudden knowing, or a vision.
It's possible that your Guides are attempting to help you out with something that's off-balance or in need of changing in your life. While you reflect on this, pay attention for gut nudges and signs to point you in the right direction.
PILE C
Card 1: The Ring reversed
What trick should you be wary of?
Take note of the negative cycle in your life which has been repeating. This serves to hold you back. What situations or feelings keep making their way back around to you? In what area do you feel like you’re going in a loop? Is there anything you feel like you’re forcing right now?
Surrender to the flow and allow your awareness to open up. Within this repeated cycle is the answer to a question and/or a solution to your problem. Locating the repeated cycle enables you to break free.
Card 2: The Chariot
What treats are coming your way?
At it’s surface, this card points to traveling and getting away from town. You could be traveling for this holiday, or in the least getting out and experiencing the world, out of your typical routine.
Digging deeper into this card's meaning, it indicates motivation and determination to see your goal and vision through. You’ll notice that your mental energies are clear. It will be easier in the coming days for you to focus on reaching wherever or whatever your destination may be. Harness this energy toward your projects, and tackle any chores or obstacles you've been putting off this week. What you set out to do, you will be successful at!
The Chariot also has strong Solar Plexus chakra energies— helping you to feel confident, strong, and able to handle whatever life throws your way.
Card 3: Rabbit and Fox
How can you honor this night?
On this evening, leave an offering for your ancestors. Offerings are a way to cultivate your relationship with your Spirits. Set up an altar— a nice space on a table of shelf— with their photos, items of theirs, things with sentimental value, pieces of nature, crystals, candles (really whatever you’d like).
Keep it simple with whatever you can give, without spending money or going through any extremes. This could be a bowl of water you’ve blessed, a cup of coffee, dried herbs, flowers, shells, or rocks you’ve collected. Traditionally, people will offer fruit, wine, or flowers. Leave your offerings with the knowing that your Ancestors are nearby, sharing their light and love with you.
This card represents the story of the rabbit in the moon, a very old tale, which has been told across multiple cultures. There are different version, but the story goes that one day, a Goddess decided to disguise herself as a dirty beggar to test the animal’s spirit and generosity. The Monkey gathered for her fruit from the trees; the Fox brought her meat. The Rabbit only knew how to gather grass. He felt it wasn’t enough for the human, so instead offered her his fur, so that the human could be kept warm in the days to come. The Goddess then revealed herself to the Rabbit, and to honor his offering and sacrifice, instead spared his life, and drew the Rabbit on the Moon for all to see.
Moral of the story: Spirits and Ancestors understand the intent behind your offering; you do not have to go to extremes.

Samhain special:
Choose a number between 1-5 and read your card below for a message from your ancestor.
Choose a number between 6-10 and read cards below for a message from your destined soulmate.
1: King of swords reversed:
You may feel that others are not treating you fairly and that you are being taken for granted. You may be trying to overturn an unfair policy in work or in the family and feel that you are banging your head against a brick wall. You may feel that you cannot express yourself effectively or that no one will listen. You may need to scream louder. Maybe you are not asking the right questions or talking to the relative people.
Lay down your arms and open your heart. Speak the truth but leave the brutal part out of it. The King of Swords reversed can warn of corruption or abuse of power. In this case, you may want to watch other people's actions…or your own.
2: The chariot reversed: When The Chariot reverses forward momentum ceases and the wheels no longer turn. This may indicate that for the moment life and progress seems to have slowed down or stopped altogether. You may feel that you will never advance in your career or that your relationship is stuck in a rut. You may be riding for a fall.
it means that fear of making the wrong decision can rob you of feeling like your life and destiny are in your control. This card will often accompany a feeling that life is pulling you in two opposite directions. Fear of committing to a choice can lead to a sense of being stuck. Be courageous.
3: 10 of wands: The Ten of Wands often appears when you are entering the final stages of a project, task or job. The end is in sight but you are now entering the agonising home stretch when energy levels are down and enthusiasm for the project has been beaten out of you. Instead of the workload lightening, it has become heavier. There are so many things that need to be sorted and arranged, especially those boring parts you would rather suck razor blades than do. These tasks are usually ones you just have to do yourself, because involving others at this stage would create further delays as you would have to spend time instructing them on what you need done, how, where and when. Close to burnout, you may be suffering from information overload now and are not able to think straight.
Self-Care is essential at this stage for you are spreading yourself too thin and are quite frazzled by it all. Outwardly you may be keeping up a pretence of being strong and enthusiastic but inside you could feel beaten and exhausted. You certainly cannot keep going on in this manner.
4: 9 of pentacles: The Nine of Pentacles Tarot Card symbolizes self-reliance, financial stability, luxury, and personal accomplishment. It signifies enjoying the fruits of one’s labor and independence in different aspects of life.
Regardless of what the present looks like, the desires of your heart are not out of your reach. All of your aspirations are right around the corner.
5: 10 of swords: When the Ten of Swords appears in a reading, it is not a great omen. Number ten of this suit represents being backstabbed, hitting rock bottom, and experiencing failure and betrayal. The situation that is impending will only be temporary and you have the strength you need to be able to weather the storm. It may be difficult, but it won’t be impossible, and you will get through it!
——————————————————————————————
6: EGO: I let my Pride get in the way of our connection.
Shadow side: You made me realize my flaws
I’m too afraid to talk to you.
7: Habits: I don’t know if I will ever change
Commitment: I want you to be a part of my future
Now is not the time.
8: Daydreaming: I am always longing for you
New Chapter: I am trying to move on
Wait!
9: Missed Opportunity: I didn’t act when I should have
Third Party: There were others that got in the way of us being together
I worry about us a lot.
10: Unfinished buisness: we still have things to resolve and discuss.
Unsatisfied: I wasn’t happy the way things were going
Be more selfish!
Hope you enjoy❤️🙏🏻
