#calaveraplayingcards

[pan-paganick-blog]

I've been otherwise engaged / lazy of late with my cards and blogging. So here, for my sprinkling of followers, is a #halloween / #samhain #calaveraplayingcards year-ahead spread,using the #hedgewytch reading method - read in triads with the #kingofdiamonds as the first point of twelve. Also I'm not one for conversing with the ancestors (halloween for us growing up used to be all about carving turnip lanterns and telling ghost stories) but this Scottish heirloom #ouijaboard does the business. I'll write this reading up in more detail soon, but at first sight it looks like it might be hard work out there, but I reckon it will be worth it. (at London, United Kingdom)

#MagicSquareSpread using the #CalaveraPlayingCards from #Cartamundi. An extension of the general three card spread, dealt left to right from the top, with a court card selected as the significator in the centre. 1. Characteristics/attitude of questioner Ten of Hearts: hoping for good news,to be set in motion by actions already taken. 2. People surrounding the querent King of Spades: an older person, possibly a man with strong views, maybe a mentor. 3. Things that are stable or unchanging in the querent's life Two of Clubs: potential and opportunities are there, but there is an ongoing need for self-reliance and to guard against complacency. 4. Where the querent will not compromise Queen of Spades: stoicism and survival in the face of adversity. Perhaps an underlying negativity and pessimism. 5. Significator Jack of Diamonds / Virgo 6. Opportunities that exist Six of Spades: a need to take swift action and advice from others - this IS there for the asking. 7. What the querent believes Seven of Clubs: problems ahead will need a steep learning curve to tackle effectively. 8. Pessimistic outlook Five of Diamonds: continuing financial problems. 9. Optimistic outlook Eight of Diamonds: material success. (at London, United Kingdom)
