"By the Light of the Moon"
I haven't had any special spreads for this occasion, but every since your posting of this, I have been thinking about it. Some of my main thoughts were to keep it small. With the reading being in a party atmosphere, you will want small plus I am not sure of the ages you are going to be reading for. So here is what I came up with. I think this will fit well with the thin veil too.
"By the Light of the Moon" (A Halloween/Samhain) Spread
by Wisp Wings
Shuffle and cut the cards as desired.
Before laying out the spread, state aloud: "By the light of the moon on this hallowed night we seek these answers......."
[Layout the spread as:
*********3*****
*******2*******
*********1***** (The spread should be half-moon shaped.)]
1. "What tricks do you excel in? These are your talents you have or are able to develope in your life." (See this as "Strengths")
2. "What treats or gifts are you to receive? Perhaps this is a gift you have in your life that you need to harvest, instead of allowing to lay at waste in the field." (See this as Gift)
3. From the spirit world, what advice shall this realm impart to you. (Spirit Advice card)

This spread I feel may be a decent spread and certainly not just something to be seen as kiddy only. It can be, but to read deeper, it can be used wisely with adults I believe.
I think I will save this and do a reading for myself of it this year.
Edited to show a better layout. Thank you AugursWell for your suggestion.
