Samhain is one of the most enigmatic and magical nights of the year for performing divination, rituals, and spells. Our ancestors have known this for centuries, taking advantage of the night's potent energy to gain clear insight into the past, present, and future.

The cards are broken up into three sections – the witch familiars, the witch tools and the Samhain – and are arranged in alphabetical order to make finding your cards quick and easy. We have also included a number of reading spells made specifically for this deck, although you can certainly use them with other cards. Each card includes an original poem written by Juliet. These poems can be used in your spells, rituals, potion making and meditations as an invocation to call in the energy of each card. You will also find key terms, a bit of information about the card and card meanings for both their upright and reverse positions.

Finally, you will find many cards contain additional information and some have spells. This information is to further support you in your pursuit of working with Samhain energy.

How to Use the Cards

A reading card spread is a curation of questions that can help you to gain clarity about a particular person or situation. They are helpful for readers who are new to card divination, but are also helpful for those of you who are unfamiliar with making your own spreads or need a little help deciding which questions to ask.

Make sure to read your cards in a quiet space so that you are not distracted and can easily connect with spiritual energy and your intuition. You may wish to light candles or incense, to place crystals in front of your reading space or to use any other enhancement of your choosing. Readings should be comfortable and easy.

To begin, take a few deep breaths to center yourself. Bring your situation to mind then begin to shuffle your cards. Using your intuition, lay out the required number of cards face down. Now turn each of the cards over and read the card description.
