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.
