Happy Friday, Angelorum fam! We live in interesting times since 2020. One of the hallmarks of the past four years is that we are socialising less and less. The isolation tactics by the dying powers worked so well that they don’t really have to reinforce them any longer. Many have more of an attachment to their smartphones than they do to other souls. The message I’m receiving from Spirit is that there is untapped power in gathering with kindred spirits for the Highest Good. But where do we even begin? The Pick a Friendship Circle Tarot Readings can help with that!

The Role of the Minister of Loneliness
Did you know that Britain has a ‘Minister of Loneliness’? I didn’t until today. Is it double-speak once more by the dying powers? Do they wish to be seen to do something but masking their true intentions behind their choice of words? There is power in words and symbols. Imagine if the Chief Financial Minister, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, was dubbed the Minister of Debt and Deficit.
Below, you will find what AI has to say about the Minister of Loneliness (the italicised words are mine).
In January 2018, the UK government announced the creation of a somewhat unique and yet critically important role within its administration—the Minister of Loneliness. This decision underscored a growing recognition of loneliness as a significant social and health issue, not just in the UK but globally. The role was established in response to a report by the Jo Cox Commission on Loneliness, which highlighted that more than nine million people in the UK often or always feel lonely.
The current Minister of Loneliness (2024) is Stuart Andrew. Are you thinking what I’m thinking? Did he oppose the lockdowns or the isolation of loved ones from dying family members?
