WTAF is happening tarot spread and collective reading ⚡️🔮
I’m going to assume most people who follow me here are somewhat like-minded.
Most of us got onto this spiritual path to find our way, to better ourselves and our lives.
We wanted to heal, work through our own shit and find ways to be happy.
We knew there was more to life than whatever we were doing before we decided that magick, witchcraft and/or some kind of spirituality may provide answers and keys to a more fulfilling existence.
We’re here just trying to figure out this life thing in the best way possible. We know we are never going to be “perfect” but we’re also realising sometimes we’re the problem.
Most of us believe in goodness. We want everyone to heal. We want the world to heal.
And many of us want to live in a world where all beings know peace, all beings know love and all beings are happy and free.
Maybe I’m not speaking for everyone here. I mean I know there are a lot of hateful, angry people in the spiritual community but I don’t think those people stay in my community very long. 🤣
But for those of us who dream of a better world, turning on the news these days is nothing short of a nightmare.
I tend to consume news in different ways at different times depending on what I have the capacity for.
Last year I made the decision to totally stop looking at the news. This worked well for me then and because I had lunch with my mum once a week I would get the headlines from her, but I wasn’t constantly looking at all the hellish things that were going on, getting dragged down and finding myself unable to function.
This year I have felt like I’ve been watching a train wreck in slow motion and I sometimes find it difficult to look away. I check the news every other day in the hopes that I’ll see some good news, that I’ll get some confirmation that everyone is okay.
But everyone is not okay.
And for those of us who are trying to bring more love, peace and healing to the world the current political climate can make us feel like we’re on some alien planet full of people with zero heart connection, those who only know suffering and think the way to ease their own suffering is by making everyone else suffer too.
In spite of it all, I am still a hopeful optimist.
I don’t believe everything happens for a reason, but I do believe that we can find a reason for why things happen.
We can look for a lesson and an opportunity for growth in most places and situations, but when I look at what’s going on in Gaza and the USA right now (and all the places we are not hearing about any more) it can be tough to move out of absolute shock, sadness and confusion into “what is the lesson here?”
Lately, instead of looking for reasons, lessons or growth, I am simply asking WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS HAPPENING?
I felt called to pull some cards on this last night and in the process created this very simple, quick and super effective tarot spread…
WTAF is happening tarot spread:
1.WTAF is happening?
2.Why is it happening?
3.What can I do about it?
👉 Disclaimer: collective readings are not supposed to be a be all and end all. I am not at all pretending to have all the answers to why the world feels so completely fucked right now. I just pulled some cards and felt like these messages may be useful to others feeling the same way. Always take what resonates and leave the rest. xx
Pamela Coleman Smith Centennial Tarot Deck
Cards from Your First Tarot by moi! (Victoria Maxwell!) coming July 2025!
The Your First Tarot deck has super quick reference keywords for total newbies to tarot, but you are welcome to bypass them and just go with your intuition, in fact, that’s better! In this reading I did a little of both…
Collective reading:
1.WTAF is happening? Two of Pentacles ♾️
The word that really came through here for me was STORM. Storm warning, sailing through a storm, navigating a storm. You get the gist!
When we look at what’s happening in the world right now, this is it - it’s a STORM. A major hurricane is sweeping through the world as we know it. We’ve collectively had some really tough times over the last few years, but they were like a bit of rain compared to what we’re seeing now.
Now the advice we’re getting here is about WEATHERING THE STORM.
So how do we do that? We look to this guy on the Two of Pentacles. I love the description of him as “dancing through life”. He’s doing his absolute best to stay balanced in difficult times and that is exactly what we need to do right now too.
While a storm is raging, we have the choice to either get drenched, get sucked into the tornado, get hit by the lightning, or we can do something to protect ourselves.
DID SOMEONE SAY ENERGY PROTECTION!? 😅
For those who are new here, you’re about to find out that energy protection is MY FAVOURITE THING because it quite frankly CHANGED MY ENTIRE LIFE!
Long story short- many years ago I was working in a really toxic environment. I was exhausted. I was not living my dream life AT ALL. I started protecting my energy and I was able to distinguish what was mine and what wasn’t, my guides, angels and intuition all got SUPER LOUD and I was guided into doing spiritual work for a living!
I have a class you can take on Advanced Energy Protection if you want to learn how to do this! ⚡️
Okay, so. WTAF is happening? Well, we are going through a storm, and storms dredge up all sorts of shit from the bottom of the ocean.
But you know what? STORMS PASS and SO WILL THIS.
But you know what else happens when storms hit? Communities come together, they donate items to help those who’ve lost things, they clean it up together, they help re-build each other’s houses.
Protect and align your own energy and also look to your communities for help and ways to help others.

2.Why is it happening? The Fool 🐕
It may seem like the end of the world, but this is the START OF SOMETHING NEW.
But before we rebuild our world, before we collaboratively create NEW EARTH, the old ways of being will need to be discarded.
When paradigms change there are always going to be those who do not want change, who hang on for dear life to what they have always know. Conservative people and governments do not want change. They want things to stay the same, they want us to go back to the “old ways” that supported them, even if it meant it didn’t work for others. The old way is all about looking after yourself, even if that meant others went without. Zero unity consciousness there.
We have come so far in the last fifty years on planet earth. And yes, we still have A LONG WAY to go! But change has been coming and now we are seeing a huge resistance to all we’ve worked for. Women’s rights, trans rights, climate change, we’ve had a big few years of raising issues and trying to do what we can to make change.
We HAVE become a more compassionate and peaceful society, at least in the western world.
But the old paradigms of hate and fear are gripping on for dear life.
Seeing The Fool here is SO comforting.
WE ARE ON THE EDGE OF SOMETHING NEW.
But while there are those of us who are ready to jump into New Earth, the old paradigm is gripping our ankles and trying to do all it can do to stop us from become even more compassionate, loving, understanding and collaborative.
And we now have to choose between letting ourselves get stuck in place, in our comfortable ways, or shifting our own energy and moving forward into the unknown for ourselves and the collective.
3.What can I do about it? The Hierophant 🗝️
The card of the spiritual teacher comes in here to remind us of two things- to get support and to give support.
If you need support, FIND IT.
Too many of us who are here to hold the vision for New Earth, for a better way of being, are trying to do it all alone. We’re in hustle culture. We’re not listening when we get the guidance to rest or seek joy, we’re pushing ourselves TOO HARD.
We are not here to do it all alone. We’re here to be one piece of the puzzle, one spark of light of light in a sky of billions.
It’s more important than ever that we get the support we need. Whether that’s in the form of getting a Soul Reading, joining a community like Light Club, going to therapy or whatever else floats your lotus, make sure you are looking to others to support you.
Trying to do it all on your own IS old paradigm!
I’m a professional reader and healer and I’ve been doing this work now for over a decade. I get my own clear guidance constantly, but I still look to other healers, readers and coaches when I need support!
So once you’ve got the support you need, then you gotta remember that YOU ARE BOTH SPIRITUAL SEEKER AND TEACHER.
We are all spiritual teachers. We all have a message to share, we all have something to teach others. We can teach through words, Instagram reels, books (if you have a book in you and need help getting it written and published I offer author mentoring sessions!), through activism, how we speak to others, though our VIBRATION.
We don’t even have to say a word to change the world. We can just be the light, seed and spread the light!
So, what can we do about WTAF is happening right now? Well, we can step into OUR personal power and leadership roles, recognise that we are the ones we’ve been waiting for and refuse to bend the knee!
I’d love to hear from you in the comments! Did this resonate? What are you doing to be part of the light revolution? Are you getting some guidance that could be useful for this community? Please share with it with us! 😍
And if you’re in need of extra support and guidance I have some Soul Reading spaces open in April for recorded video, MP3 or Zoom readings. I would love to work with you if you feel called!
With so much love, light and magick,
Vix
