Creative Blocks

(Just venting about my woes and coming up with solutions)

The tarot side of TikTok confuses me honestly. I love making videos, practicing, and leaving positive messages. Making these videos help stimulate my creative brain, gives me projects, allows me to connect with my cards, and learn/study them as I go. I’ve learned the best hands on. The thing that confuses me is the “ooo i claim *spam spiritual emojis*” It doesn’t make sense to me. It doesn’t help me understand who’s watching my content or what resonates with people. Sometimes I don’t even know if it helps anyone. The claim culture just seems like “oh i like what i hear and i want this to happen to me.” Noooo

Not everything in tarot is 100% and i guess my style of reading my cards is different from others. When i watch other tarot readers they seem skilled and say specific situations and specific actions. My style is a little more general so people can take my messages and apply them to their situation (if it relates to them). It is a general message after all and i think it’s rude for me to assume anyone’s situation and what they’re going through. 

A recent video had so many comments saying “i claim! They’re back!” Like....why? A lot of my viewers seem to be dead set focused on getting their ex back, have some sort of reconciliation, or communication. Yeah i admit there are times when i would want this too, but just typing in “i claim” does absolutely nothing. I try to direct people to heal, let go of toxic situations, go after what they want. The majority of my readings have “ohhh this good energy is coming in BUT this has gotta go/heal” or there would be a video id make that seemed like it had nothing to do with reconciliation and id see the dreadful “i claim they’re back” message. i had hoped that i could help people, heal them, listen to them, understand them. Nah...just another person that claims that they’re back. 

Yeah it sounds like im whining, but it’s just one of those thought processes I go through making tarot/oracle card videos. That doesn’t mean ill stop doing it. I absolutely love doing it. There are more reasons to keep going rather than quit. My solution to my terrible woes is to take a step back and create other forms of content that can help people. Such as reading poetry, use different set of cards, change things up. So far, reading poetry from a book had attracted the right people ive been hoping to help. I’ve seen people say “thank you, this really helped me” now that’s the message i wish i would get in my tarot/oracle card videos. 

Time will tell if my content will shift more to reading poetry or reading passages from a mindfulness book. We’ll see what happens. For now, i love what i do. The good and the bad. The yin and the yang. The ups the downs. It’s still apart of my journey.
