Halloween Tarot in a Tin ~ Two Readings

This week has been turning out to be a busy one with not much time for cards or blogging. I’ve been having fun playing with my new Halloween Tarot in a Tin – it is exactly the same as the my other Halloween Tarot except it’s much smaller and comes in a very cute tin! It is the same size as the Vanessa Tarot and Gummy Bear Tarot and in the same sort of tin. The cards are about the same size as a standard bridge size deck of playing cards – very easy to shuffle and very easy to cary around with you as the size is good and the tin keeps them nice.

For some reason, this isn’t available at Amazon or any of the other major retailers. There is a seller on eBay selling them – that is where I purchased mine. There has been some talk on the Forums at Aeclectic Tarot that this deck will never be available through the big retailers – very weird. I’m glad to have found mine on eBay.

On Monday, I was very ill with food poisoning. We had eaten out on Sunday and the chicken in my dinner was RAW. I had a chili chicken burger and for the first two or three bites the green chili masked the fact that the chicken wasn’t cooked at all in the middle. My hope of it not making me sick didn’t happen – spent all day Monday feeling very ill indeed. These are the two cards I drew from the Halloweeen Tarot in a Tin:

• Four of Imps (Wands)
• Knight of Pumpkins (Pentacles)

These seem like strange cards to draw on a day you are sick but they do reflect what was happening. I was kind of in a celebratory mood because my husband had called and when I told him I was sick, he said he’d come home to take care of me! He was my knight in shining armor who did the right thing and came home to care for me. That made me very happy because it hasn’t always been like this in our marriage. It was great to have someone make you cups of tea and go to the store for Gatoraid.

On Tuesday, I drew a couple more cards from the Halloweeen Tarot in a Tin – didn’t have time to blog though as I was babysitting my grandson after school. These are the cards:

• Eight of Bats (Swords)
• Four of Ghosts (Cups)

These two cards have inspired some serious thoughts for me.  The cards seem to be saying that sometimes that feeling of being trapped is all in the mind. There are options and instead of looking at them I’m just so busy being upset that I don’t see that kindness and compassion all around me for the taking if I’ll just turn my head and see that instead of staring straight ahead at my own misery.

Yesterday, I didn’t even get a chance to look at any cards – that always makes me feel sort of disconnected. Most days, I try to find some time to do something with cards to get in touch with myself.
