Samhain Tarot Spread
Samhain is the time of year when the veil between the spirit world and ours is the thinnest. This makes it a good time to communicate with the ancestors. Some people may not have a strong connection to their past family members or a desire to connect with them. However, the concept of ancestors does not have to be limited to a family tree. For some people, ancestors can be the deity they identify most closely with. Find what works best for you and try this spread in the quiet hours of Samhain. To make this spread part of a ritual or the Samhain ritual itself, I would suggest setting up an altar with black and silver candles which can be scented with vanilla or cinnamon oil. I also like to clear the room with sage prior to any ritual. A black or silver altar cloth, clear quartz crystal and/or onyx stones, a picture of your ancestor or statue of your deity would be a nice addition as well. Animal totems could also be used. I like to use my raven statue. Raven is about rebirth, discovery, reflection and renewal. A glass of mead and a small bowl of pomegranate seeds would be good additions to the altar since they represent the cycles of life and death. I like to set up the altar on a large table so that I have enough room for my tarot spread to be placed in front of me. The reason I suggest ritual is that it can help you to focus your mind and spirit on the task at hand so that you can be fully in the moment.
