Tarot your heart out
It is not a well known fact that I occassionally pull out a deck of tarot cards and throw a spread. Goddess deck (because, honestly, if I needed help, who do you think I would go to? Zeus or Aphrodite? Of course, the atheist I am quickly becoming would probably say neither, but we'll leave that off for now) and it's usually a celtic cross spread (for obvious reasons).
Last night, my final outcome card said I would regain faith.
My first thought? "Doubt it". That's the sticky thing about faith, huh? When it's gone, you can't really believe it's coming back.

Some people, myself included, believe that faith in science is just as powerful (or more so) than faith in a deity. I also believe in Tarot - is that hippocritical? I don't think so.. I see devices like Tarot and magick (and even 'traditional' religious incantations and spells), as ways to decode the science or put meaning to the infinitely complex mathematical probabilities that rule existence.
You didn't lose your faith at all, you refined it. You've internalized it and made it a part of you. Thats powerful stuff - enjoy!
