Where's all the woo?

Where is everyone? Have you noticed that some normally vocal people in the healing sphere have suddenly gone dark? If you stop for a minute, can you think of someone you used to watch on Instagram or Tik Tok or read their posts on Facebook, but now they’re not around? 

You’re not imagining it. 

I’m so fortunate to have a wide, supportive network of other people in the “woo” biz. From mediums and Reiki masters to astrologers and good ol’ witches, I’m never more than a text away from people who speak my language. 

And yet … They've been so quiet on social media lately. It’s no accident.

We are heading into a 9 vibration year, and this aligns with The Hermit in Tarot. What does that mean? Think introspection, wisdom, a long pause. While many people are just gearing up for this, some spiritual guides have been feeling this much sooner. 

I’ve been checking in with my colleagues and they’re all saying the same thing: it’s time to withdraw now because they know they’re going to be needed on a much bigger level in this coming year.  

I’ve been fighting this pause because, to a degree, it feels indulgent. Why would I not keep planning classes and events? And yet, I know that it’s important to keep my own cup filled. 

I had a Reiki session last week and this message was confirmed by the practitioner. “We need to take care of ourselves right now because people are going to need us,” he said. This wasn’t said arrogantly or in a way suggesting that we have the answers (because we don’t), but rather just as a fact. We know what’s going to be needed (you don’t need to be a psychic to see that people are struggling mentally, emotionally and spiritually) and we need to be prepared. 

So where has everyone gone? They’re resting. They’re writing. They’re having sessions with other practitioners and working on modulating their nervous systems. They’re around and I guarantee they’re thinking about you, because that’s what they do– they hold space, even when it’s not in a formal setting. They’re doing their own work now so when the time comes, they’re ready to assist those that need support. In the meantime, you may want to consider snagging a seat in the woo quiet car. Grab your journal, your meditation apps and your crystals and hold on for the ride. 2025 is just around the bend.
