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. As we dive deep into this mystical period at Spiritual Phoenix Studios in Girard, Ohio, let's explore how Tarot can be your guiding light, bridging connections to ancestral spirits.

Samhain and Tarot: A Sacred Connection

The season of Samhain is about honoring the cycle of death and rebirth, remembrance, and communion with the spirit world. Tarot, with its profound imagery and symbolism, becomes an apt tool for introspection and reaching beyond the veil.
