Card of the Day - 10/15


Today we are using the Halloween Tarot by Kipling West.

Today's card: The Empress
Shadow Card: The Tower
Top Card: Knight of Pumpkins (Pentacles)

The Empress card is about creativity, fertility, nurturing and is sometimes depicted as Mother Earth or a pregnant mother about to give birth. What creative thing are you about to set forth into the world? This Empress is depicted as the Bride of Frankenstein who is created from spare body parts and kick started with electricity. This tells me that you are taking many different things and melding them together in order to make something new, creative and different than what anyone has seen before. It is not only going to be a growing experience for you but you will become more independent because of it. 

The Shadow Card is the Tower. It is all about sudden and unexpected change that happens in your world in an instant. This is the type of experience that makes your life look like the carnival ride Tilt-A-Whirl. This is the type of change that shakes your foundations and forces you to do something in a new way or walk down a completely new path in life. 

The Knight of Pumpkins is a slower energy. Things take time to manifest. To me he looks like he is offering a gift. The fields beyond him are plowed and seeded. New things have been planted in your world and are about to start to grow. And that process takes time. This knight reminds me about how pagans and witches do rituals to bless things in order for them to manifest. What offerings do you need to leave the universe for what you are about to receive? Pray, light a candle, chant a mantra ... Do whatever resonates with you. 

My Take

We are resurrecting something creative that we will Frankenstein together to make some idea or process even better. This will cause a big and swift change to occur that will rock your world. Then you are asked to pray and give thanks for blessings you are about to receive because of this change. Whatever falls away during your "tower" phase is most likely going to be a blessing in disguise for you. 

Blessings.
