Halloween Tarot - Seven of Imps
By Kipling West; book by Karin Lee

I love this card because it gives another view from the common RW version. The perspective is from the climbers, rather than the king of the hill. Six Imps and one kid in Imp's clothing are approaching a hill topped by a haunted house. One doesn't know if they are there for tricks or for treats, or whether the tricks will be on them! They walk in a line, and the leader is just stopping, holding his staff, and pointing up to the house. I can imagine him saying something like, "Okay, guys, there it is. Are you ready?" ("You go first." "No, you go first.") There are no trees or other cover on the hill. No sneaky approach or retreat -- no hiding. The kid in costume is doubly brave, because he's in with a bunch of Imps.

To me, this card speaks of getting ready to boldly face a challenge, planning or preparing to brave it out, doing what it takes (I dare you), even if your goal is high up and exposed. There's probably a big bowl of candy at that house, since no kids come cause they're scared.
