Samhain will be here before you know it. Sometimes referred to as “The Witches New Year” it is, not only a time that’s believed to be when the veil between our world and the afterlife is at it’s thinnest, but also a time to reflect on the past year and look to the future.
Let this spread be a guide as you prepare yourself for the cold and dark months ahead.

I love Autumn so I thought I would make a little spread to help us transition with the falling leaves. As we head into this beautiful season it’s a great time to pull out your fave deck of Tarot, Oracle or whatever cards you have lying around and check in!
Breath in. What are you breathing in? In other words, where are you getting your energies in life, specifically this fall season. This card may point to balances or imbalances in your life, it could be a toxic person, a bad habit, or maybe you’re breathing in only positive energy.
Breath out. What are you breathing out? What are you shedding and undoing – what are you letting go of this fall to help you progress and find peace and happiness?
Harvesting. What are you harvesting this season? Notice what you’ve grown! This card can represent that which has grown beautifully in your life, or maybe how beautifully you’ve grown. Or it can represent anything that needs to be cut away.
Gratitude. What do you need to be grateful for at this time? Where could you be more grateful? What are the wonderful things in your life you don’t notice enough? It’s good to take a note of this, maybe leave a post it not or photo on your wall to remind you to be grateful this winter!
Grounding. How can you ground your energy at this time? How are you going to stay grounded now that there will be less opportunities to roll around in dirt and wiggle your toes in the grass?
Harvesting Gifts. What can you do to share with those around you? What can you do to be more generous or helpful in the community during these cold months?
