Welcome to the 8th House, Scorpio’s lair, associated with Tarot minors 5-7 of Cups and its King. This fixed water sign shares ‘Spooky Season’ with Halloween, Samhain, All Soul’s, Dia De Los Muertes, and the thinning of the veil. Scorpio teaches that when we walk alongside fear, navigating our own darkest shadows, we discover an uncanny power to transcend the sharp pain of grief and loss, and move towards deeper connection with Spirit.

'I'm the cobwebbed stairs

the ancient bones

I'm the shadow rippling cobblestones

I'm the stagnant swamp

the black lagoon

I'm the branches scratching at the moon

I'm the funeral service

the unknown mourner

I'm the demon cowering in the corner

I'm the sexton's spade

the new thrown clay

I'm what's left when they walk away

I’m the ebony coffin

the satin lining

the pale, thin lips in the back room dying

I'm the walking dead

the fly by night

I'm the last of the fading light

I’m the unbarred door

the open encasement

I'm the steps leading down to the basement

I’m the four post bed

the let down hair

I'm the cross that you forgot to wear

I'm the highest voltage

the shining slab

the crack of midnight in the doctor's lab

I'm the night before

the morning after

the echoing of the baron's laughter

I'm Jonathan Harker

I'm Lucy's trance

the elegant count's hypnotic glance

I'm the wooden mallet

the sharpened stake

I'm the precautions you forgot to take

I'm the mummy's curse

the passing bell

I’m the fortune they wouldn't tell

I'm pyromania, Transylvania

I'm out of breath

I'm worse than death

I'm the late night air

exhilarating

I'm with you in the darkness, waiting’

Silent Scream, T.S.O.L.
