Following the trend I subscribed to in the Midsummer and Autumn signposts, I'm going to use another dark deck for this reading. This time it's the powerful Tarot of Shadows by the prolific Russian Tarotist, Vera Sklyarova. I'm excited to see what the season would bring.

Let's get it on!

The sudden demands of the season were quite unexpected, but I'll sort these out later.

I drew most of the cards before now. This is the Sacred Days reading where I've had the most number of majors, with trumps comprising 7 out of the total 12 cards. Of the 5 remaining, 3 are Courts while only 2 are minors.

I riffle-shuffled it 15 times before cutting and selecting so I'm sure it was properly randomized. 15 stands for Arcanum XV, which the creator claims the whole deck is an embodiment for.
