I’m notorious for having multiple Instagram accounts. It’s not because I’m shady; rather, I like to keep my “interests” curated accordingly. I know it’s weird, but listen, I hate when all I want is a cute cat video, but then I have to wade through hundreds of watercolor painting accounts because that was my last obsession. It gets messy, and it encourages scrolldom rather than intentional curiosity. So yes, I have a number of IG accounts, including one for my animals (because, duh). But I also started a “witchy” card-related deck when I first started getting into them. I happened to be talking to a friend about the benefits of using “IG Challenges” to get into the habit of consistently talking with the cards when I realized that I hadn’t posted since January 2022. It makes sense, though — as I became more aware through the cards and journaling, I became more confident in reaching for my “soul goals,” as I call them. The dreams I’d let slip away while life took me in a different direction. Coming back home to my spirituality made me return home to myself and all the things that bring me joy and allow my soul to shine. In retrospect, I think the cards knew it was time for me to let them go for a while, knowing full well that I’d be back again.
