Samhain Deity Work (with Divine Partnership Tarot Spread)

divine partnership

In today’s post, I share a Divine Partnership Tarot spread in time for Samhain. Samhain is a cross-quarter holiday in the Pagan Wheel of the Year that is celebrated from sunset on 31 October to sunset on 1 November. It is widely regarded as the Witches’ New Year and it’s a great time for a spiritual reboot and deity work as well as connecting with the ancestors. This sacred time marks the end of the harvest season and the beginning of the darker half of the year. It’s a period of deep reflection, renewal, and spiritual significance for many practitioners on a Pagan path.

Why Samhain is the Perfect Time for a New Divine Partnership

Samhain is an ideal time to initiate a year-long partnership with a deity for several reasons:

  1. Thinning of the Veil: Samhain is a time when the boundary between the physical and spiritual worlds is at its thinnest. This increased spiritual accessibility makes it easier to connect with deities and other spiritual entities.
  2. New Beginnings: As the Witches’ New Year, Samhain represents a time of endings and new beginnings. It’s a natural point to set intentions and embark on new spiritual journeys.
  3. Introspection and Renewal: The darker half of the year encourages introspection and spiritual growth. This inward focus can help you forge a deeper connection with a chosen god or goddess.

That said, you can use the information in this post (including the spread) any time you feel called to begin working with a new god or goddess. A year and a day is a reasonable amount of time to dedicate to any deity you feel drawn to work since it allows you to interact with them through all the stations of the Wheel of the Year. However, be prepared for it to develop into a lifelong relationship and commitment in some instances.

Choosing a God or Goddess to Work With

Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to wait for a dramatic sign or miracle to choose a deity to engage with. Here’s a thoughtful approach to selecting a divine partner:

  1. Self-Reflection: Begin by listing attributes or qualities you admire or wish to cultivate in yourself. These can guide you towards deities that align with your spiritual goals.
  2. Research: Study various pantheons and deities, focusing on their attributes, cultural context, and associated symbols. Look for deities that resonate with your list of desired qualities.
  3. Meditation and Intuition: Spend time in meditation, reflecting on the deities you’ve researched. Pay attention to any intuitive pulls or connections you feel.
  4. Divination: Perform a tarot reading or use another form of divination to gain insights into potential divine partnerships. In addition to the spread below, you can find several spreads for specific deities HERE. This can help confirm your intuitions and provide guidance on the suitability of a particular deity.
  5. Ritual Introduction: Once you’ve selected a deity, plan a small ritual to formally introduce yourself. This can include offerings of items associated with the deity, such as specific flowers, food, drink, or incense. If your offering is accepted and the deity you are reaching out to wants to engage with you, you will feel their presence during the ritual. An empty feeling should be taken as a no from the god or goddess. It is perfectly normal to get a no and not something you should take personally.
  6. Open Communication: After your ritual, remain open to signs or communications from the deity. These may come through dreams, omens, or unexpected encounters.
  7. Relationship Mindset: Remember that a relationship with a deity is a relationship. Be prepared to offer your time, attention, and devotion in exchange for their guidance and support.
