The Samhain Season Cards
The cards are broken up into three sections – the witch familiars, the witch tools and the Samhain – and are arranged in alphabetical order to make finding your cards quick and easy. We have also included a number of reading spells made specifically for this deck, although you can certainly use them with other cards. Each card includes an original poem written by Juliet. These poems can be used in your spells, rituals, potion making and meditations as an invocation to call in the energy of each card. You will also find key terms, a bit of information about the card and card meanings for both their upright and reverse positions.
Finally, you will find many cards contain additional information and some have spells. This information is to further support you in your pursuit of working with Samhain energy.
A look into the pack…
Candle Magic
Keywords: intentions, prayer
Speak your breath into its velvet, recite along its spine all that you desire, all that which will unravel.
There are few spells that are complete without a candle or two or ten. Candles make the setting of a spell more magical and also play an essential role in a spell. Candles carry our intentions out into the universe; they pull in our words and prayers along their spines and send them out through the tips of their flames.
When you’re holding Candle Magic know that your intentions and prayers have been received by the powers that be.
Pumpkin
Keywords: protection, fertility, prosperity
Uncaging the spirit within thou the fertile power you hold. To taste your buttery velvet upon tongue is a gift I shall cherish each day that comes.
Pumpkins have been a tradition for Samhain for hundreds and hundreds of years. Jack-o’-lanterns were carved to scare away the ghost and goblins that were said to roam the streets on Samhain. Carving Jack-o’-lanterns originally began with a variety of root vegetables from turnips to potatoes. Pumpkins became the preferred method for the abundance of space for carving. You have pulled Pumpkin today because you are protected and safe from harm. There is a presence around you keeping the scary things away from your front door. You can rest easy, knowing that your back is guarded. This card can also mean taking some steps to keep negative people out of your life. Doing so will allow you to put your energy where it is needed most.
Witch
Keywords: wisdom, alchemy
Hello, beloved witch. You are the center of this card. Your energy. Your strength. Your wisdom. A witch taps into the healing powers of the Earth and the wisdom of the powers that be as well as the energy within us all. A witch can move energy to create any life of choice. A witch knows how to see signs in everything around her. A witch uses her potions and spells to give healing and hope to all who seek her guidance, using her gifts for the
good of all, to heal and nourish.
When the Witch appears, believe that you are wiser than you know and the thousands of years of wisdom from the wise, ancient ones are available to you now. If you are finding your path to magic, this card is confirmation that you should continue to explore your craft. If you are an experienced witch, know that it’s time to dig even deeper, perhaps step up as a priestess and start your own coven.
How to Use the Cards
A reading card spread is a curation of questions that can help you to gain clarity about a particular person or situation. They are helpful for readers who are new to card divination, but are also helpful for those of you who are unfamiliar with making your own spreads or need a little help deciding which questions to ask.
Make sure to read your cards in a quiet space so that you are not distracted and can easily connect with spiritual energy and your intuition. You may wish to light candles or incense, to place crystals in front of your reading space or to use any other enhancement of your choosing. Readings should be comfortable and easy.
To begin, take a few deep breaths to center yourself. Bring your situation to mind then begin to shuffle your cards. Using your intuition, lay out the required number of cards face down. Now turn each of the cards over and read the card description.
