Samhain Tarot Spread

One of the most sacred days of the year is October 31st, and I look forward to working with its incredible energy each year.

Samhain, the Celtic celebration that is the basis for modern day Halloween, goes from October 31st to November 1st. It marks a powerful turning point in the wheel of the year, symbolizing the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. 

It’s a time to honor the interplay of light and dark, release negative energies, and celebrate the NEW energy that’s always emerging. 

The Samhain Tarot Spread

Samhain is a beautiful seasonal festival to share as a community. While we may not be together to gather around the bonfires, I’d love for us all to soak up the energy together. 

Here’s a spread to help you tap into the energy of Samhain:

Me in this present moment⠀ Ghost of the past: What lies in the past?⠀ Spirit of the future: What is ahead in the future?⠀ Behind the veil: What messages do my ancestors wish to share with me?⠀ In front of the veil: How can I bring these messages into my daily life?⠀

Post your spread and ritual tagging me at @biddytarot so we can share the magic of the season together!
