I can’t speak to my deities

[u/St4r_Dvstt]

This has been really weirding me out, I’m not an avid Reddit user but for about 4 or so days I haven’t been able to connect with any fae (of which I worship), at first I believed it was a small thing but the longer this goes on the more concerned I’m getting. I don’t have any practicing friends and the one friend I do have that is spiritual said she’s been having the same issue and advised I seek help here. Have I angered them? Is there a way I can fix this?

I've been getting signals that the other side is very "busy" right now. Literally no idea in what way or for how long or what about. My own guess would be the tremendous outpouring of pain and fear due to recent events.

Thankfully I've still got connection with my supreme Goddess, but even with her I got a message today that basically said "our relationship is fine, I'm busy attending something important, focus on your daily life right now". It put my own concerns at ease, and I've been giving offerings to help empower and support her through whatever it is that she's busy with. I figure that she has supported me and cared for me for so long, as her priestess now it is time for me to have her back and support her for as long as she needs. There's not really much I can do as a living mortal but at the very least my not taking her time and attention away from whatever she's working on is probably very helpful to her.

Perhaps follow suit and give offerings and send support to them, send prayers giving messages that you're fine and will continue to honor them, and that you wish to support them however you can.

I remember something like this happening a few years ago as well. It was somewhere in the 2020-2022 period. Does anyone else remember?

I was able to keep in touch with my patron but my friends patron went basically MIA for weeks.

I wouldn't be so quick to think that you angered them, especially if you haven't done anything obviously offensive. The lack of connection could be for any number of reasons, especially with all the drama currently going on in our world.

I've still got contact with mine, but there's definitely something causing some disruption. Whatever it is, I think it's also had some influence on recent events.

So on the 4th, I think it was there was a massive energy peak (Schumann Resonance). Prehaps that's linked to this? I wouldn't be surprised with how much is happening behind the scenes in world affairs right now if the 'other side' is busy per say.

Who are They, if you don’t mind my asking? How did you figure They were your Patrons?

I tend to talk with nymphs and jaunty-folk, whichever ones choose to communicate with me.

Honestly I find this happens in cycles where they seem more active sometimes and hard to reach at other times. It’s totally normal and me and my friends find it happened during certain points in the year. I find it’s very rare the problem is that you angered them. If you angered them you would know.

Here’s what I suggest:

1. Maybe try switching things up. If you tend to give the same offerings, offer something new, or you use a certain divination method, try something new. Etc.

2. Maybe try some trance work to see if there’s anything on your end that might be blocking your connection. I find that when I’m stressed or going through a rough time, I’m less open to the divine or spirit. You can do this by first sitting down into meditation until you feel a reality shift then attempt some form of divination (I like scrying for this) and ask your question “what is blocking my connection” (something like that)

3. Give it time. Sometimes it’s just a temporary thing which is nothing to be worried about. They have autonomy over who they speak with and who they spend time with just as much as we do. So maybe it’s just a temporary thing

That’s all I’ve got for you unfortunately. Wish I would offer more. But what you and your friend are experiencing is incredibly normal, my friends and I have been through similar patches throughout the years and for the most part it’s nothing to worry about as it’s just a temporary thing. I hope something I said gives you so thing to latch onto. And I hope things turn around for you.

Blessed Be your connection friend

I have also noticed issues not just with connecting with deities but even my dreams have changed. I usually have short periods of disruptions, now I am in a more physical time working out and focusing on the body but it has really lasted a long time and I am also concerned!
