I have mentioned in several posts how I feel pretty disconnected from my practice. This goes for both witchcraft and my beliefs. It definitely does not help that I am going through a period of transition in my beliefs, questioning what I know to be true and what makes sense for me.
I decided it would be a good idea to turn to tarot and divination to help me process the changes happening in my spiritual life. So, I developed a tarot spread specifically for those who also feel disconnected in their practice.
This spread has seven questions all related to the feelings of disconnection and emptiness I have been feeling, specifically geared toward my faith and my witchcraft practice. Please feel free to utilize this spread for yourself and adapt it if you need to.
A Note: It’s Normal
One thing I want to express is that it is perfectly normal to go through periods of disconnect in your practice, especially if you are like me and were not raised with any strong religious beliefs. I am also going through a huge life change as I pursue nursing school in my 30s as a parent and partner. Things are difficult sometimes and a general sense of overwhelm does not serve my practice any good, either.
1. Root of the Disconnection What has caused the feeling of emptiness or detachment from my spiritual path?
This card provides insight into any underlying emotions, experiences, or blocks contributing to the current sense of spiritual disconnection.
2. Past Spiritual Joy What aspects of my previous spiritual practice or beliefs brought me the most fulfillment?
This card may help you reconnect with memories or feelings associated with the joy and satisfaction you once felt in your spiritual life.
3. Current Energetic Block What is currently blocking me from re-engaging with my spiritual path?
This card reveals any fears, distractions, or other energetic obstacles that might be interfering with your spiritual connection.
4. Small First Steps What small action or practice can I incorporate to begin reconnecting?
This card begins to suggest a gentle way to start rebuilding a connection, focusing on manageable steps that can be integrated into your life without overwhelming you.
5. Reawakening Passion What would bring back my passion and ignite my spiritual spark once more?
This card offers insight into what practices, beliefs, or activities might help rekindle excitement and purpose in your spiritual path. This card is different than the card for Small Steps in that it looks more at the big picture rather than the baby steps.
6. Spiritual Guidance What message do the Gods have for me right now?
If you have a specific deity you work with, this card will reflect guidance from them. If not, you can adjust the question to allow for messages from spirit guides, your higher self, other spirits, or the general universe.
7. Moving Forward What will help me sustain a balanced and fulfilling spiritual practice in the future?
This final card provides advice for maintaining a renewed connection. This serves to help you remain consistent and build back up to a sustaining part of your life.
Because the reading is personal, I decided to keep my own cards to myself. However, if you choose to do the reading and would like to share, please feel free to leave it below!
