I was given a nudge to really celebrate and immerse myself in the Halloween traditions and history of the Holiday this Halloween week. I purchased this deck, Halloween Oracle by Stacey DeMarco as well the Halloween Tarot deck by Kipling West. Both decks have a very good energy to them and I’m looking forward to playing with them this week. I also over the weekend looked at some very old pictures of my various Halloween costumes I wore as a child and some pictures of my sons costumes when they were children. It helped me to recapture the fun of the holiday. Do look up the meaning and history of this holiday for yourself. You’ll be glad you did. So, shall we begin to play?
Today, I chose a daily message for us from the Halloween oracle by Stacey DeMarco. The Card for today is: Skull of the Flowers- Creating through the ashes.
To blossom and bloom
The work must be done
Through fire and ashes
Our fortune it comes
Sometimes we wish for a life that’s different then the one we have and that can mean radical change. Sometimes to have that new life, everything falls apart to make it so- and that can be uncomfortable. We may lose our relationships or they may change. We might lose a job, have to move to a new home or become ill- all big events that lead to reassessment of the ” how” of our lives. The Skull of Flowers illustrates that there is a sureness and yet a rawness to starting afresh. Sometimes, the Universe gives us a blank slate to work from, so we can build what we really want, rather than just settling for less. The Skull of Flowers not just a kind of Phoenix energy but an energy of success and full bloom through adversity.
Notes from Me: So, there you have it. The beginning of the week is upon us and perhaps for some a new beginning in our life. It’s hard work to begin again but from the ashes of endings come a Phoenix energy of unlimited possibilities.
