Journey Through the Veil: Tarot for Samhain
Samhain, celebrated from October 31st to November 1st, is a sabbat marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of the darker half of the year. This time is considered by many as the Witch's New Year. The veil between the physical and spiritual realms is said to be thinnest, making it an ideal time for divination, especially using Tarot.
