Into the lonely woods deck never fails to move and amaze me. Very on point reading today. As much as I love the summer being a Cancerian I also welcome the Autumn when nature encourages us to slow down, rest more, become the hermit and focus on this spiritual season xx
Yes, lots of sad anniversaries to honor. I like it when we turn the clocks back because I get up too late in the afternoon and this way the clock will say that it’s earlier! Time always baffles me. Also, the pronunciation of Samhain is “sow”, like “cow”, as you have been saying, but the second syllable does not have a long a - it sounds more like a schwa, so it rhymes with (I can’t think of a word that doesn’t have an apostrophe at the end) plowin’, for example. Thanks, Gemma! 💕💕
Thanks Gemma! Feels apt ☺️ Today I took myself out for five pm breakfast at my local cafe (my home away from home) with a favorite volume of poetry: The House of Belonging by David Whyte (If you don’t know it already, it’s definitely worth acquiring!). Here’s a sample that goes with the reading 😊 Sweet Darkness When your eyes are tired the world is tired also. When your vision has gone, no part of the world can find you. Time to go into the dark where the night has eyes to recognize its own. There you can be sure you are not beyond love. The dark will be your home tonight. The night will give you a horizon further than you can see. You must learn one thing. The world was made to be free in. Give up all the other worlds except the one to which you belong. Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet confinement of your aloneness to learn anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you.
Woof and Meow, Gemma -- what a reading! I was so excited to see you recommend The Writer's Journey -- I have that book, too! Amazing how The Mentor mimics the Hermit. I think you'll like the Ally section. I like to think of our senior cat as this archetype, as she is our beloved companion on life's journey. I hope your eye feels better and you and viewers have a wonderful, restful, autumnal weekend, celebrating the season in your own special way. Enjoy!❤🧡💛
Hi Gema, I watch every day. Three years ago today, my beloved wife Jenn departed this world so this is a very sacred day to me. Thank you for the reading today - I really loved the "Into the Woods" oracle card and it helped me.
I've been baking my favorite banana nut bread, the gluten free version. I also add any other dried fruit that I have on hand in addition to bananas and chopped walnuts, like dried cranberries but also fresh blueberries or strawberries if I have them on hand. Delicious! Gorgeous cards BYW! Thanks for the readings.
Hi Gem .I speak fluent Irish .Samhain is pronounced SOW- IN . Love your readings❤️ I won't be baking this weekend as everything I bake looks like Charcoal 😆
@@triciaandthewolf haha 😂 Maybe you should look at your chart. It would be really funny if you had mars in the 4th house of home and family, or the 6th house of daily routines 🤓
I used to pick those when I lived on the Long Beach Peninsula in Washington state. Where are you? I didn’t find out until after I had been cooking and eating them for six months that there was another mushroom that looked very similar, which was poisonous. I guess I was lucky!
It actually makes it lighter when you wake up when the time goes back to standard time. Winter on the other hand, yes it will rise later on. It’s been exhausting trying to wake up in pitch black time while on daylight savings
Hi Gemma Tonight I'm going to a Halloween dinner party and I'm yet to work out my costume or what plate to bring. Getting a very overdue hair cut and style and cannot wait for that! My street is the Halloween Mecca (still a very unusual thing in Australia) and a large portion of the locals go all out to decorate their houses. The street attracts hundreds of tiny humans in ghoulish outfits and I'm never organised for it and run out of treats very quickly. This year I've decided to get organised and have a huge selection of treats and plan to decorate the house... The job still feels over whelming! But I have all of Sunday to get my props together! Wish me luck!
Always love me a Knight of Pentacles 🤓 Glad you seem to be in good spirits even during all this Hermit shadow dwelling and your eye surgery. Hope you have a restful weekend. 💕🩵🩷☺️⭐️💫💜💚
Thank you Gemma! 🎉 Always brighten my day! ❤😂 I baked banana nut bread, chocolate chip cookies & thinking about something peanut butter! Fresh tub of peanut butter telling me to make something! 😂
Maybe listen to the Original Broadway Cast recording of Into The Woods this weekend? Considering how many times Into The Woods is said in this reading…there’s a ‘shadow’ musical if ever there was one…
Drop the mic! I was thinking about these cards a few days ago, I lurv the creature on the front of the box. Reminds me of a Gonk I had as a child. Soft and cuddly. I’m the eternal Hermit. It seems a better excuse to be indoors tucked away this time of year. Should I need an excuse 🤔 Love the book. Thanks Gemma have a lovely weekend 🙏❤✨
If I judge your book by it's title, I'm pretty sure that the Knight of Pentacles has already read it. You two will have much to discuss Make sure he's buying.😹
Ahaha, too right. I’ve got most of my planets in Capricorn (i.e. very knight of pentacles) and when I was little I can a sort of verbal tick of saying “I know” whenever anyone told me anything. One day one of my uncles said to me “No, you don’t know! That’s why I’m telling you.” Of course, he’s also a Capricorn, so we were basically having a little knight of pentacles skirmish 😈
Hey Gemma it’s day for me meeting morning and it’s funny that the hermit card came out because I’m going to relax for a bit and then I will probably head into town with a friend depending on the weather and then tomorrow we’re having a family lunch I have a really nice and good Thai restaurant we’ve been going there for about 10 years or more and the owners are really lovely and nice too have a great weekend everybody🙂😂🇦🇺🐨✌🏻
I had the 2nd edition of that book! Who knows where it is now, though. I can't remember if I lent it out or simply gave it away to make room for new books. I may have to get the 3rd edition to see the changes.
Going to bake some gluten free muffins .. well try lol I did manage to make some for work but my oven is a bit temperamental lol .. Weekend off oh yes 🙌

I'd like to be under the sea. In an octopus's garden the shade 🎶
We would be warm, below the storm… 😊

That was a gorgeous reading. I love Into the Lonely Woods. Goosebumps indeed!
I love into the lonely woods. The critters are so magical. 😍
Definitely loved this reading!❤ Thank you, Gemma!! Hope you have a wonderful weekend! 😊

Sweet Darkness
When your eyes are tired
the world is tired also.
When your vision has gone,
no part of the world can find you.
Time to go into the dark
where the night has eyes
to recognize its own.
There you can be sure
you are not beyond love.
The dark will be your home
tonight.
The night will give you a horizon
further than you can see.
You must learn one thing.
The world was made to be free in.
Give up all the other worlds
except the one to which you belong.
Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.
Bless You, you funny old thing. Thank you for your love and commendations as to how to live. You are special. G.
Thank you! 🙏✨🌸

Love your readings❤️

Haha, maybe it’s Mars being in cancer 😅 🔥
@@mlouw8218 I can use that as an excuse 😆I'm just shît at baking 😆
@@triciaandthewolf haha 😂 Maybe you should look at your chart. It would be really funny if you had mars in the 4th house of home and family, or the 6th house of daily routines 🤓
No baking this weekend except a keto cottage pie made with cauliflower instead of potatoes.
Gemma I love your readings … your voice and presence are also so comforting even when you’re talking about things that are difficult
We’re going into the woods to mushroom picking tomorrow!! Super excited to get some chanterelles ❤ what a crazy title 😅

Please please a tarot cupboard tour! I'd love the inspiration!
Gemma my lovely, in the US I/we were taught to pronounce "Samhain" as "sow win".
Thank you Gemma!❤
Wishing you well Gemma ty❤
Were you ever a Butlins redcoat at Minehead? "Woo hoo!" 🤣

3:50 Your owl sounded like a Halloween ghost.

And thanks AutoCorrect I don’t own the restaurant😂
Ooh that sounds lovely! 🙏🩷✨
Wonderful reading, Gemma, feels…I don’t know the word I’m looking for lol! Have a wonderful weekend 🙏🏻✨
Woof is right! Right on’
I had the 2nd edition of that book! Who knows where it is now, though. I can't remember if I lent it out or simply gave it away to make room for new books. I may have to get the 3rd edition to see the changes.
Although it looks like Amazon has an even newer one for less, hmmm
Thank you Gemma, much needed 🙏😍💐xx
You’re welcome 😊
Ok, when Honor Your Holy Days came out considering everything that was said before….Holy Mackerel!
Lonely woods cards are sooo ripe ❤🎉
Hermiting might be the best thing I can do.. because where cake is forgotten, something goes wrong..
I'm not whipping on my disco pants.😂
Here in the U.S. our clocks don’t change until Nov. 3. I think the schedule changed a while back, maybe because of the pandemic? I can’t remember.
Going to bake some gluten free muffins .. well try lol I did manage to make some for work but my oven is a bit temperamental lol .. Weekend off oh yes 🙌
Fab. Let us know how they turn out and if it’s good, share the recipe! 🧁
The hermit looks like Michael Jackson
That Hermit card looks like michael jackson, the white face, the profile, the hoodie, the stripy hair, the hand, like drawn after a video.
I never noticed that before, but you’re right!
Could you use the Into The Lonely Woods deck for a shadowy reading closer to Halloween 😀♥️?
Right after I posted this comment you went and pulled them out lol!
That’s so funny! 🤭
How is your eye(s) healing?
Love me Some Jung!!!!!
Same 🙏🩷🌸
❤❤
