Shade
This is a spread from my Halloween traditions thread in talking tarot. A lot of my fellow Wiccan's refer to this time of the year as the Season of the Witch so it felt appropriate. The items from the spread come from a picture I saw online attached below. Feel free to tinker with it and add other witchy items... i briefly briefly considered adding The Toad - a Prince who is getting in your way and needs to be transformed.
Season of the Witch Spread
The Witch Herself - Significator - sets the tone for the reading, the special powers the querent has and their ability to transform energy
The Cauldron - something percolating in your life - the matter of the reading
The Spellbook - the plan, where things are currently headed
The Black Cat - forces that are here to assist you
The Skull - a challenge that must be faced or conquered
The Broom - what you need to take your plans further
The Spell - in a recent workshop with Nattacia Zeviar I was inspired by the way she assigned herself a task based on her readings. I think of it as Homework. The spell cast by the reading is the way I can improve my life through action.

Any suggestions? Since there is a grave in the image I had found I thought about a "things that have passed beyond" but that didn't seem to move the reading forward and witches are notorious for not being limited by such things as the mortal coil - especially on Halloween. Cerulean added the Raven from the attached image as a seventh card.
I tested this out with my Halloween tarot below.
