Trust the Trees: Dendromancy & Autumn Leaves in Divination

In the Northern Hemisphere, the Autumn is in full bloom, so to speak, and Winter is right around the corner. The leaves have not only turned from greens to fiery oranges, golden yellows, and rusty reds, but, in many areas, they’ve already been falling to the ground for a number of weeks now. Some take to raking up the fallen leaves and disposing of them – don’t! Not only are you doing your yard and the environment a great disservice by ridding the land of fallen leaves, but you’re robbing yourself of an opportunity to partake in seasonal divinatory fun! Yes, fallen leaves can be a useful tool for divination, and the bare branches they leave behind can also be read for omens. In this post, we’ll take a look at dendromancy and a few methods of divination that make use of the autumn leaves.

Horn of Plenty, and Other Autumn Tarot Spreads

Tarot as a means of divination has long been used to aid those seeking guidance and is ideal for those who question how they move forward, how they can let go of the past, and what may await them further up the road. In this piece, you’ll find three spreads that are perfect to incorporate into your autumn readings – the Horn of Plenty (for those thinking about or hoping to start a new project or endeavor), the Witch’s Tree (for those looking to grow or change in their practice, or those questioning where their magical journey should be focused), and the Starburst (for those who are leaning into change). Though these spreads use up to eight cards, beginners need not be intimidated. You can customize your spread, cutting down on the number of cards pulled to shorten your reading and get down to the meat of the matter. Feel free to alter your spreads to meet your needs.
