I'm sticking with the Halloween Tarot until the 1st, then it's back to the Stolen Child for the rest of the week.

[AJ-ish/Sharyn]

I'm in (week 714 🙂 ) with Shaman's Oracle, thank you VG and a fine Samhain to all. 

[Mi-Shell]

I will continue with Ironwing until November 1st 

and then change to the Familiars, one of my new decks.

 

Blessed Samhain everyone!♥

 

[Bodhiseed]

I'm hanging on to the Dark Mansion through Sunday, then I'll be using the Slow Tarot paired with the ROAR Oracle. 🎃🐈‍⬛

I would like to participate with my Dark Mansion Tarot & Seasons of the Witch Samhain Oracle. 🙂

 

Thank you!

The Ferenc Pinter Tarot for me the week. It has the worst Hanged Man card I have ever seen, but looking forward to checking it out.

I love that equal-opportunity spirit! 😆

 

Happy Holiday, everyone! 👻 I’m probably using the Deviant Moon Tarot this week.

 

I have felt so noncommittal in deck choices lately, but that’s just because every choice is fantastic 🙂

Welcome Portia!  

 

[Bodhiseed]

This week I'll be using the Slow Tarot, created by Lacey Bryant and published through Modern Eden Gallery. Paired with it will be the ROAR Oracle, created and self-published by MJ Cullinane. Today's draws are the Two of Cups and Maya Angelou:

 

Bryant suggests that Twos represent outside influences on personal choice, an apt description of the Two of Cups where union is sought between two diverse individuals. In this card, a man and woman sit on the lawn in the middle of a garden of white roses, suggesting a sense of groundedness and a purity of intention. Nothing can tank a partnership faster than untethered fantasy or a failure to be open and honest. Such traits tend to lead to starry-eyed expectations that can quickly sink a relationship. Maya Angelou, civil rights activist and poet extraordinaire, offers this advice: "Seek patience and passion in equal amounts. Patience alone will not build the temple. Passion alone will destroy its walls." While our passion can drive us toward a goal and keep our values intact, it is patience that will keep our bond strong as we mediate compromises and navigate unexpected detours.

Just so you know the Hanged Man card I am talking about. 

[Bodhiseed]

@toj, I've heard of people saying they felt like the gunk on the bottom of someone's shoe, but that card takes it to a whole new level! 😱 I'm torn between the hilarity and grossness of it!

Working with the Pinter this week has yielded some surprisingly accurate readings.
