Tarot Tuesday at A Bewitching Guide to Halloween

My Halloween started early!

One of the final stops on my blog tour promoting 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 was at 𝐀 𝐁𝐞𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐇𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 with a sample reading for their 𝐓𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐭 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲 section.

I did my reading for Tarot Tuesday using a 𝐌𝐚𝐡 𝐉𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐠 deck. It's one of my favorite decks. I’ve had it for years. I do a reading most mornings to see what the day is likely to bring.

As it’s used so much, I even bought a spare. It’s in pristine condition in my cupboard, for the day when my current deck falls apart, and I need to give it up.

For this post, I’m doing a reading on this blog tour. I’m writing this post two days before the virtual tour begins. When it posts, which will be on the last day of the tour, it will be interesting to see if any of these predictions have come true.

I always shuffle the cards and then spread them in a circle, and, while thinking of my question, I pull 13 cards, face down. Then I separate them from the pile as follows:

• 3 to the bottom (the east spread; these will be about me)

• 3 to the top (the west spread: these will be the challenges I face, and the solution to the challenges)

• 3 to the right (the south spread: what’s coming up immediately)

• 3 to the left (the north spread: the end result)

• the last card is for the center (the focus of the reading)

This was the spread I ended up with for the blog tour:

Here's my reading on how this virtual blog tour might develop (for entertainment purposes only)

The center focus card: 28 East (East represents the querent and the present situation)

Makes sense, since this is about my blog tour.

The East spread: (this is the querent’s wishes/hopes)

• Honor card/33 Center (it’s usually about success)

This means I’m focused on promoting my latest release on this blog, and hoping for a successful outcome.

• Honor card/31 North (this one talks about difficult times)

I suspect it means I need to be disciplined and do the work needed (writing the blog posts and doing the interview questions) to prepare for this tour.

• Bamboo/8 Mushroom: (a sign of something unusual/memorable is about to happen)

This could mean I’m hoping this tour brings a pleasant surprise or two.

The South spread: (this is the near future)

• Guardian card/41 Farmer/clarified by Bamboo/7 Tortoise (A guardian card always requires a clarifying card; Farmer is about work to be done/Tortoise is about going slow but heading toward eventual success)

I believe this means the work I’m doing will be both worthwhile and blessed in the long run, if I’m willing to do the required work first.

• Wan/21 Earth (location move indicated)

Also made me shake my head at how accurate these cards are sometimes, since obviously, a blog tour requires moving from one location to another.

• Honor Card/34 White: (in the South spread this means pay special attention to important documents)

I noted this and had a friend proofread for me before I submitted the posts.

 The West spread: (this talks about challenges and their solution)

• Circles/10 Pearl: (in the obstacle position, this suggests the endeavor will cost money)

I paid to do this blog tour, so accurate

• Wan/25 Seven Stars: (in the obstacle position, this suggests plans will need to be revised)

I had to laugh when I saw this card, since some blog stops had to be revised and dates changed. Also, Mercury retrograde occurs right in the middle of this blog, so changes were not a big surprise.

• Honor Card/34 White: (in the solution position, this suggests either seeing someone before they pass or revisiting an old idea)

In my case, the latter applies, since I had done a Bewitching Blog Tour years ago and have returned to do it again, since I had so much fun the last time.

The North spread: (this is the eventual outcome)

• Bamboo/2 Duck (in the north sector, this refers to a distant relationship)

True. I know the blog promoter, since we’ve worked together before, but we haven’t spoken in years, until I requested this tour. Yet, we’re back here, working together again.

• Honor card/33 Center (in the north section, it means the objective is achieved)

I hope this means I’m going to be thrilled with this blog tour.

• Wan/2 Sword: (odd one to have in the North sector of this reading, and as the very last card, because in this position, it means cutting away from the past)

I wonder if this relates to the mushroom card I had in the East Sector, about something memorable that is about to happen. Time will tell.

So, the future is done and dusted. Hope you try out a divination method that appeals to you. Happy shuffling on Halloween.
