Samhain marks the turning point when we move fully from the light side of the year into the dark.

The theme of balancing light and darkness becomes relevant not only in nature but also within our inner world. One of Samhain’s traditions—the carving of a pumpkin—symbolizes this inner work, where we use our light to illuminate the dark night outside.

The Samhain spread “The Pumpkin” will reveal your growth potential and inner light. It will highlight what you may not see within yourself and what needs to be done first to see yourself more clearly and start shining. It will show what you should work on to the end and identify obstacles to remove from your path. Finally, it will reflect how these changes will impact you and how they will be perceived by others.

Card Positions in the Spread:

  1. Cutting and Removing the Lid — What needs to be done first for you to see yourself more clearly.
  2. Frozen Flesh — What you need to work on until completion.
  3. Seeds — Your potential for growth.
  4. Removed Flesh — Obstacles on your path.
  5. Emptiness — The shadow within, what you do not see in yourself.
  6. Carving — What to focus on.
  7. Candle — Your inner light, positive qualities, and how to start shining.
  8. Replacing the Lid — How the changes will reflect within you.
  9. Placing in the Window — How the changes will be perceived by others.
