Snarklet Mystic Arts

12/08/2021

The moon waxes from new, the sun is in Sagittarius, and we are existing amid the holiday season. Soon the moon will be full in Gemini, and the shortest day of the year is near. As the moon moves through all degrees of the zodiac, we cultivate and recommit to our work, cycles, and themes here on earth. Here is a sweet 3 card Sagittarius Pick-Me-Up, to help you bring your work to fulfillment, whatever it may be:

1. What is the core essence of my work, this moon cycle?
2. Where can I afford to take more risk?
3. How should I direct my sense of adventure?

“I’ve gotten readings from others, and once I got one from Snarklet, I knew that my first session wasn’t going to be anywhere NEAR being my last! I adore Snarklet’s easy-going, attentive & intuitive magical energy. I honestly can count my sessions with them as monthly therapy sessions lol. I always know how I need to get back on track with the guidance and help from their readings. I always, always get the most accurate & honest feedback, in a very gentle way. Grateful for the times I have with you, Snarklet! Thank you 💖” - Amanda C.

I’ve heard it said that lunar eclipses are not really the best time to do magic… because magic typically draws power from the moon, and when the moon is eclipsed by the earth blocking out the sun’s rays, it’s best to just… chill. Rest / relax / restore yourself (not a bad idea, if you’re feeling drained this week anyway). Many witches and magic practitioners will warn that if you cast a spell, it may not work as well as you hope. Although the moon is still there, it’s hidden from our view, and can make it hard to really envision what you seek to do in a spell. If you typically count on the moon as a helper in your magic-making, this envisioning and focus can be obscured. So the advice is more themed toward making a magical time of your rest and relaxation.

But, I’ve also heard that eclipses are a GREAT time to practice magic - that is, for working with your shadow. (No, this does not mean practicing hexes or doing harm to others. We don’t do that. And if you do, remember it comes back to you three-fold.) Shadow work - as in working with the shadow parts of yourself that you typically keep hidden, in the dark, away from the prying eyes of others. Hugging the sad child version of yourself that you’ve kept in a corner for so long, because you didn’t know what to do with her or how to help her. Eclipses can be powerful times to work with those facets of yourself that you shy away from, for whatever reason you’ve deemed necessary. The moon bathes in the earth's shadow, and can clue us into what we have been eclipsing in our own lives lately.

So, is it one or the other for you? Rest, or shadow work? Maybe it’s both, maybe it’s neither? What are you up to this eclipse? It's on Friday… Scorpios and Ta**uses, how are you feeling?

If you'd like any extra support this week, you know where to find me 💖 Happy full moon ✨

Fall color drop. There’s beauty in the changes 🍁 What changes are you watching around you / within you?

I’ve been focusing on the messages from my Halloween reading, staying healthy, trying to embrace the things about myself that I don’t usually cuddle with… And tracking the choices I make with the power I have. Change follows intention and focus. What are you focused on right now?

Thank you, Marlena for the sweetest review. It means so much to get feedback from a client, and I am happy to know that these readings have facilitated some deep dives for you. I look forward to reading for you again soon. ✨💖

“Snarklet has been reading my tarot for about a year now, and I can’t recommend her enough!! She always makes me feel so safe and comfortable diving deep and getting to the bottom of what the cards are trying to show me. Her readings have helped me gain insights that have turned out to be spot-on. I will definitely continue to use her services.” Marlena B.

I’m excited to share with you the Halloween Dark Moon spread, for seeing beyond the veil. We are entering the dark moon period of the year (in the Northern hemisphere) - the time of the crone, where the natural cycles around us slow and cool. The leaves die, the roots become dormant. We as humans do this in our own ways; we might spend more time indoors or go to bed earlier. We change our diets and our habits to fit the season. And if we are doing all this external work - as the natural world around us does - we can stay aligned with ourselves and the outside world by making changes internally, too.

This is the time for internal work, i.e. the energy you spend on progressing your soul / that which exists inside of your body-shell. Internal work is work; it might bring you joy, it might bring you tears, but it is work all the same. Emotional reactions to internal work are important to note - and to move through.

Below is a spread I have created for Halloween and the Dark Moon season following. You can answer these questions with your own tarot deck / in a reading with me / in your journal - whatever you're comfortable with. The point is to gain clarity, in whatever mode suits you best.

Suggested questions for your Halloween reading / journaling:

1. What themes will be coming up for me this season?

2. How should I interact with these themes for the best possible outcome?

3. What in my life needs to be cleared to make room for change?

4. What energy am I welcoming in?

5. What should be the focus of my internal work this season?

6. How should I go about doing this internal work?

7. Messages for me (about __?__) from beyond the veil.

Happy Halloweekend, spooky babes!! How are you spending this magical weekend? We used to go to Salem every year around this time, and that’s where I found my favorite moonstone. Halloween is a great time for tarot - I’ll be releasing my Halloween spread tomorrow if you’d like to read your own. Also happy to go through the spread with you - message me to get on my weekend calendar. Happy Samhain 🍁✨🎃

New blog post is up! 🎃 Complete with a Halloween/Samhain guide, this week's Tarot Card Ally - The High Priestess, the story of Persephone, Scorpio season breakdown, and - my favorite - a very special Halloween Tarot Spread 🎃 Link in bio.

The II of the major arcana in the tarot, the High Priestess is the second archetype that The Fool encounters on their journey, after The Magician (which I go into in my previous blog post, and is all about the self and manifestation). The High Priestess is often seen as representative of the Greek goddess Persephone.

Persephone sits before the portal to the dead in the High Priestess card, and her departure to the underworld each autumn signals the death of another cycle. She is of both this world and the otherworld, and serves as a wise and steady guide to those who seek advice beyond the veil.

Halloween is both a portal to the otherworld and a portal to the dark moon time of year - a time of endings, death, and sleep. We know that winter is coming next, and with the wisdom of the High Priestess, we can access the intuition needed to do the work of winter, and continue processing and growing through this upcoming time of dormancy.

It’s Halloween week, aka Samhain, aka Scorpios in their element, aka the thinning of the veil, aka dress up yourself and act out your dreams. Halloween is a great time for tarot, divination, shadow work… The veil between the worlds is thinnest on October 31st, which makes witches, magick-makers,...

It’s halloween week aka Samhain aka Scorpios in their element aka the thinning of the veil aka dress up yourself and act out your dreams. Some things you can do this week that would be particularly in the ~spirit~ of the moment:

1. Sit on the floor, close your eyes, imagine you are a tree with roots as deep as the iron core of the earth and branches that reach beyond the stratosphere. Thank yourself ( + whoever) for your health, your community, your belongings, your willpower, anything else you can think of.
2. Light a candle for those who are no longer with you.
3. Talk to your friends / family about your collective ancestors.
4. Go trick or treating with your inner child: dress up as a childhood dream you once had, treat yourself to something delicious, have fun and get a little mischievous, stop and comfort yourself when things get a little scary, hug yourself and remember how much every part of you is YOU and there’s nothing wrong with that.
5. Brood.
6. Attend a fabulous costume party and sing and laugh and spin around in circles.
7. Water your plants, harvest anything still living in your garden if you have one, say thanks to the land for providing.
8. Listen to Billie Holiday or Joy Division or Babymetal or something that gets you going but equally just makes you feel cool.
9. Dream. Lucid dream. Write down your dreams. Act out your dreams. Dress up as your dreams. Draw your dreams. If you have trouble remembering them, herbs like mugwort and valerian root might assist you.
10. Tell stories beneath the moon by candlelight.
11. Read tarot cards (keep an eye out for my Halloween spread this week), or book a reading with me.
