What’s Blocking Me?
This tarot spread helped me gain insights into what was blocking my writing.
I don’t know if the pandemic had anything to do with it (yeah, let’s blame it on the pandemic), but my writing output decreased significantly over the last couple of years.
And as the pandemic eased and I still wasn’t writing, I finally had to admit to myself that some writer’s block may have come into play. Truth be told, I wasn’t writing that much before the pandemic. So I can’t put the blame there.
It’s not so much that I didn’t know I had writer’s block. I mean, that’s what they call it when you’re not writing, right? But I haven’t been ready until now to bare my soul in order to discover WHY I hadn’t been writing. It makes sense to figure out the cause so that, if it occurs again, I’ll be able to recognize it and know what to do about it?
So I pulled out my favorite tarot deck and devised a simple spread that would concisely answer two main questions: (1) What is the nature of the block? and (2)What can I do to release it and start writing more consistently?
The “What’s Blocking Me?” Tarot Spread
I’m not one for big spreads when it comes to getting insight into a personal problem or challenge.
