Hey! Im really interested in all sorts of "paganism" (animism, wiccaism, old religions ect) and if you dont mind, could you tell me about the things that personally interest you and influence you? Spiritually, what do you feel that makes you stronger and what has proven to be the right path? My mom is very christian and I've always been pressured to fear uknown things, especially witches, but that has pushed me away from her and religion. I really want to hear your experiences on this matter! xo
Hello there sweetling. Sorry for my late repy. I wasn’t feeling too well during new years and I also had a bunch of other msg’s to reply to, now that i’ve come to your msg’s here is my answer. :)~Hello there *waves* there are many things that inspire me and interest me.
History, (preferably the study of ancient religions/cultures, my favorite subjects being norse/greek/roman/egyptian cultures) Metaphysics, Hermetics, Astrophysics, Philosophy, Paleontology/Archaeology. Buddhism/Taoist philosophy. Spirituality in general. Satanism. Witchcraft. Astral Travel, Cartomancy (tarot cards/runes/ divination) Astrology/Numerology. Faeries. Demonology. Crystal Magic. Candle Magic. Elemental Magic. Energy Magic. Folk Magic, Herbalism. Nature Studies. Paganism. I’m kind of an eclectic witch crossed with a hedge witch since Healing and Shamanism interest me a lot, as does nature. It’s what heals me and rejuvinates me when i’m feeling drained, going back to natures bosom is natural and beautiful, we are all earths children.
I paint. I read a lot. I love to take nature walks. I enjoy music, it’s a huge part of my life and gives me a lot of inspiration too. :3 I also love video games and movies but that has nothing to do with the other stuff mentioned above lol. It’s just hobbies that I enjoy.
I come from a family of norse heathens/pagans and some wiccans and witches. It’s a really diverse family lol.
I also had some family members that were christian. I never had much issue with them accept for my great aunt, she was bat shit crazy lol The bible off course was the first religious document I was introduced to and you know…even as a 10 year old kid I never took that sh*t seriously. I believe in magic because I believe in science. To me science is magic explained and energy has been proven to exist and magic is energy. Also the use of hermetics/metaphysics helps one to learn to focus their mind and become aware of ones own thoughts, helps one to creat their own life and bring their desires into existence through mantra’s and meditation, it’s all about disciplining ones own mind.
Any way back to christianity/religion…I don’t need religion, I don’t think anyone needs religion what I know I need is spirituality and I think the world needs it too. A broader more open mind, where we all must come together, if we can heal ourselves we can begin to heal our world. Spirituality is a singular path, a path for the individual, religion is for the masses. It’s ok if you want to walk another path other than your mother, she can believe what she likes even though most people choose christianity because it’s a religion believed to be inherited or passed down in the family, which is a narrow minded way of thinking…at least I think so. The fact is, it’s wrong for parents to expect their children to be the same as them, to “inherit” their same beliefs, Freedom of development is so important, children need to blossom and grow on their own. Children are not a mini version of their parents, they are their own person, so unless a parent is willing to love their child unconditionally no matter what they choose to walk for their life path they had better not have children because it’s just silly to expect their children to be exactly the same as them. Like a clone. We have enough “sheep” like thinkers out there, we need more free thinkers and doers and hun that’s what you are wanting to do is become free of fear. You are a seeker, you seek your own truth and in order to accomplish this you need to get out there and explore. :))
(hugs) I hope my answer was a good one. I’m sorry if I was jumping all over the place lol. I’m a bit blah today but I did the best I could to answer you honestly. Take care. <3
