Greetings, gremlins, and welcome to our first proper card pull for the month of December! Can you believe in a few short weeks, it'll be 2026? Because I'm not sure I can. Where the heck did the year go, anyway?

Since the year is coming to a close and we're settling into the colder months now, I thought maybe we'd close out the year with one of my favorite decks: the Cozy Witch Tarot Deck. If the art style looks familiar, that's because it's done by the same people who did the Believe in Your Own Magic Oracle that I utilize for vibe checks while streaming. I'm quite fond of those two decks as the art's pretty cozy and feels like a warm blanket. Not to mention that I don't think I've seen a more "me" tarot deck in my entire life.

As always, before we get to this week's reading, please make sure you are all nice and cozy before you continue reading this post. This is not necessarily a reflection of what card will be drawn. In fact, I'm typing this bit before I've even drawn a card. However, I find that coziness helps put me in a better space to receive whatever message the cards may have for me.

Also, please remember that this is a general reading for the collective. It might resonate with you or it might not, and that's fine. Take what you need from this or don't. It's entirely your choice.

Now that we've gone through our reading preamble, let's get into our card for the week and answer our usual question: "What do my followers need to keep in mind to live their best lives this week?"

Our answer this week comes in the form of a named card that is unique to this particular deck: Toxic Witches. This is actually the equivalent to the Devil in most traditional tarot decks.

Now, while this could acknowledge that you're trapped in some negative cycles of your own making, my gaze on this card goes directly to the people in the background having a conversation, which leads me to believe this is pointing more towards other people rather than yourself, dear readers.

In life, we all have to deal with some painfully negative people. However, these aren't your everyday negative folks that you can just ignore. These are the people that sink their claws in slowly to the point where you don't even realize they're doing it. These are the people that will cut you down little by little until you're a shred of your former self. These are the people that you feel like you can't escape from no matter what you do because they mask what they do by saying things like "I'm just being realistic" or "I'm just looking out for you." They claim to have your back, but in reality, they do not.

Did you think of someone immediately when you read the above paragraph? Maybe a family member? A friend? A coworker?

If you did... y'all, you really do not need people like that in your life. Maybe this person doesn't even realize they're doing it, but please trust me when I say you don't need people like that dragging you down. Your light deserves to shine in this world.

This week, consider maybe putting some distance between yourself and whoever those people are. Consider if you need to cut them off completely. Think about what you need to do for your own well-being here. In this particular case, it is 100% okay to be selfish.

Greetings, gremlins, and welcome to our first card pull for the month of November! Halloween may be over, but it's still spooky season in my heart. It's also my birthday this month, so that makes it especially exciting (at least for me).

Because it's the month of my birthday, I decided this was justification enough to use one of my favorite decks, the Believe in Your Own Magic Oracle. I know we've been seeing a lot of this deck lately, but it's honestly a favorite, especially for vibe checks. Besides, I know some folks regard November as the start of the holiday season, which is when things can get incredibly stressful for a lot of people, and I feel like we could all benefit from vibe checks this month, just to get an idea of where we are.

Now that we've gone through our reading preamble, let's get into our card for the week and answer our usual question: "What do my followers need to keep in mind to live their best lives this week?"

Our answer this week comes in the form of Red, reminding us to forgive.

In life, we tend to hold grudges against people for various reasons. Does not matter why or who it's being held against. Maybe it's a loved one. Maybe whatever you're holding on to is because of something you yourself did. And sometimes, we need to let those things go.

Now, before you start thinking that this card is encouraging us to practice forgiveness for those we're holding grudges against, please understand that this is not at all what's happening here. Forgiveness, after all, must be done on our own terms, and only if and when we feel ready to do that.

What this card is encouraging, though, is for you to consider whether or not you might be ready to forgive now. If you're not, that's okay, but at least take the time to sit with it and see.

Greetings, gremlins, and welcome to our first card pull for the month of October! This isn't exactly "peak fall", but I know October is a sacred month for many this time of year. After all, this is when we start seeing more pumpkin spice lattes and pumpkin pie, and the month even ends with the sacred day of Halloween. What could be better?

(And before anyone asks, yes, Halloween is sacred. I am a witch, after all.)

As it's a new month, though, that means we break out a new deck for our monthly readings. While I strangely don't have an appropriately spooky deck to conduct readings with this month (yet), I do have a more witchy deck that felt appropriate to break out, so please allow me to introduce you all to the Cozy Witch Tarot Deck. If the art style looks familiar, that's because it's done by the same people who did the Believe in Your Own Magic Oracle that I utilize for vibe checks while streaming. I'm quite fond of those two decks as the art's pretty cozy and feels like a warm blanket.

And, well, let's be honest. The coziness mixed with the spooky/witchy vibes is absolutely me.

Now that we've gone through our reading preamble, let's get into our card for the week and answer our usual question: "What do my followers need to keep in mind to live their best lives this week?"

This month, our answer comes in the form of the Six of Cups!

Now, this could be a call to treat yourself with the compassion you weren't given. After all, how other people treat you can impact your own perception of yourself and lead you to believe you don't deserve certain things. You might believe you don't deserve anything good because of that, but the truth is that you do. Now is the time to start unlearning those things and releasing those beliefs that have been tying you down.

The Six of Cups can also be calling upon you to bring something back from your younger days. Maybe revisit a hobby that you used to love but let fall by the wayside as you got older or revisit somewhere from your younger days or even calling upon an old friend. However, this card also cautions against living in the past. Revisiting it is fine, but dwelling on it means you might remain stuck in it for far too long.
