In ten short days, on October 31st, children across the United States will celebrate Halloween by donning costumes and go door to door, trick or treating, assembling a haul of candy from Kit Kats to the far less desirable Necco Wafers, a chalky flavorless confection. For adults, Halloween usually means horror movies or the occasional super-elaborate costume party.
And for those devotees that Halloween is a part of their daily life, there’s the classic Tarot card deck, a divination tool to understand energies around of, within you, between two people or more. Dating back to the mid-15th century, Tarot readings are not predicting the future but instead allow one to reflect upon and look deeper into ones own understanding of a situation.
Thanks to our friends at Insight Editions we’re giving away six different Tarot decks, each with an accompanying piece of ephemera.
