Spirituality

I'm really interested in exploring Wicca, Shamanism and Druidry. Would anyone be able to help me figure out where to start? Books, etc.? Thank you.

Hi all, I know that some people find setting New Years’ resolutions a bit cringy and silly, but I absolutely love them! I like the feeling of a fresh start. I’m curious what your spiritual resolutions are, or if you hate the word ‘resolutions’, then feel free to share some goals and exciting things that you’re planning on doing next year! Here’s some of mine. The list is still work in progress, and I may steal some of your ideas 😉 : 1. I would like to learn Lenormand. I’ve been dabbling in it for years but I was never fully confident with it. Perhaps I will treat myself to a new deck (Honey Hive Lenormand by Jamie Sawyer) to kick off th…

Hi everyone, I'm just looking for some help identifying archetypal figures that would relate to the 4 of Swords. I'm interpreting the 4S as someone who understands the importance of life but isn't hung up on it. Someone zen, or with a taoist outlook. Thank you. 🙂

Has anyone heard of or seen angel numbers? I've been seeing them regularly for over a year now and have definitely become more spiritual. The most common, and the starting point for most people I believe, is 1111, regularly depicted as 11:11. When I see them, I do feel a sense of peace and ease knowing that these synchronicities are messages from angels. The only (and best) source I know for angel numbers is the Index by Joanne Sacred Scribes. Anyone have any resources or stories to share?

Do you have any spiritual encounters that defies explanations? For instance, an encounter with angels or your spirit guides? I have one such experience, it was an encounter with Jesus. For me, I was at this birthday party of a christian friend. The friend suddenly asked if anyone had any word from Jesus. Suddenly, I was prompted to go to this unknown person in the party and tell her to be a social worker. I was very frightened for I knew nothing about the girl. But the prompting from Jesus was strong. So, being the coward that I was, I went to the girl and asked her if she had anything to do with social work. The girl revealed that she always wanted to be a soci…

Curious to hear if anyone else here is on a yoga journey and how you feel since you started. How did you come to it? When did you start? Do you only practice asanas or all yoga? What changes do you notice, physically and mentally? 🙂

Hello: I am wondering if there is anyone who is a Muslim, or was raised Muslim on this forum? I read the tarot years ago, and I was quite adept at it. I later gave up the tarot for my religious beliefs. I now feel a pull to come back to tarot, but I feel a religious conflict in doing so. Has anyone else felt this experience? Salaam Emilija

This forum needs some posts so I thought I'd throw out this question... does anyone have any good astral travel or lucid dreaming tips? My head seems to hit the pillow and then boom-- fast asleep. How do you maintain focus and keeping your consciousness awake when your physical body is so sleepy? Is it a matter of just being a good meditator and that's what will help someone to control their dreams better?

Hi friends, yesterday I was visited by a deity which felt like the natural next step in my spiritual path. I would like to extend my worship in the direction of this deity, at least for some time, as I have done before with others. The only thing is that I am not only less acquainted with the culture this deity comes from (Welsh instead of my usual Greco-Roman) but also very little information is known in how traditional worship of this deity works. Things like offerings, sacred sybols, colours, herbs, words, animals connections, etc, are all things I usually research into extensively and incorporate into my practice. I was just wondering if this obstacle has been one any…

Do any of you do anything to celebrate or honor the equinox? I'm really wanting to in some way. I've been researching some new to me fallish recipes to make a big dinner for my little family and I'm afraid the list is a wee bit overboard. ;D I also homeschool, so was planning to take my girls out for a real nature walk and talk about all the things that would be changing as the weeks go by and why. Start the oldest with a nature journal and try to document the changes. Just somehow incorporate it all together as a way to honor the day and make it educational. Is there anything special that you do or would like to do? :)

Blessed Samhain, dear friends 🎃👻💀🍂 <3

Many blessings to you all, my friends, on this first day of spring!

Our outdoor ‘momma’ cat (now spade) has disappeared. She’s been missing for three days and my son said he noticed before she went missing, she had something wrong with her mouth. He made a note to check it in the morning when he fed her and could get close to her. She was missing the following morning. The purpose of this thread is to please tell me what belief systems, lore, myths; anything that can help me rationalize how to deal with the loss. This is different from death, it is the unknowing that is consuming me at the moment. Tomorrow morning I will do a reading for her. I am open to all religions and spiritual beliefs.

Hi. So I have recently started reading tarot for myself which has led me to start to cleanse my chakras through meditation using a recording from The Gem Goddess. My question is basically how will I know when all of my chakras are cleared? In particular I am interested in opening my third eye to help with learning tarot and practising divination more accurately. What are peoples experiences with this? Any advice on how I will know my third eye is open and my chakras cleared?

I grew up in a Christian household (my mom is a catholic convert, and my dad is a pastor's kid) and for a long time, I've been struggling with Christianity. I genuinely feel happy working with it (though the church itself has many, many issues that I dislike), but I also do love my tarot cards. Unfortunately, I have a hard time reconciling the two as tarot cards are considered 'devil magic/worship', as repeatedly stated by my parents. So those of you who are Christian, or Christian-adjacent, how do you rationalize both, when they seem so contradictory to each other? Additionally, those of you who are queer and Christian, how did you find your place within the church when …

I'm trying to develop clairaudience but I don't know where to start. Does anyone have any tips?

Hi, I have Spirits around me, one being my Mum's father. I want to connect with him better. I sense him often, and I talk to him, but I don't seem to get answers I 'hear', 'see' or understand. Things happen that I know are him, such as his name came up on an auto fill form, on a website I'd never been to before. I'd really love to be able to better connect with him so that I can understand what he is trying to tell me. Does anyone have any tips or recommendations for this type of thing?

Anyone use them? I have a book about them, Llewellyn's Complete Book of correspondences. I just never really know how to use them exaclly. Any tips? The book was gift so I'm lost on it.

First real post, I don't know if I've met my twin flame/soul mate but a lot of things I've read and questions I've asked all seem to be saying yes.... So is there a way of actually knowing if this person is my twin flame/soul mate? For brief context due to word limits, we meet around 2 years ago, had a brief relationship and went our separate ways but we always seem to be drawn back to each other, bring out each others best sides, feel comfortable to fully open up to each other within a few weeks of meeting. It felt strange as I'm usually a closed book due to my past but she worked me out in seconds as if she knew my life even though we lived 100s or miles apa…

I know that I am not the only one who care about this topic. It is important for my spiritual path to learn more and to do better. My goal with this thread is to provide a place for us to discuss this topic in a constructive way and to focus on spreading important information rather than slandering people for not being ethical enough. So please, share any information that you have regarding any type of cultural appropriation. Here are some articles and resources that I have found to be very informational: On the exploitation of eastern spirituality: https://everydayfeminism.com/2016/07/culturally-appropriating-buddhism/ https://thinkingi…

I've started daily meditation again after a short hiatus, and thought it might be fun to do it together! If you are struggling with it, or want a little accountability to make sure you don't skip a day, it can be easier with some support. I have found that consistency with meditation practice is very important to get the best outcomes. I have tried many different methods, and while I enjoy mixing it up every now and then I have a few types as my go-to sessions. Tonight I've chosen to use my 'Muse' headset, which is a completely unnecessary but fun meditation tool. Who's in?

Hi Friends, I have been involved in a few discussions lately about what exactly it means to be psychic.. turns out it is a difficult term to define. I know for some, being psychic is something to be proud of and utilized at all times. For others being psychic sparks fear because of personal conditioning or religious beliefs. And for some it is a term avoided all together, no matter what their ability, in order to dodge criticism and ridicule in the modern materialistic world. I am interested to know your thoughts on how you personally define the word PSYCHIC Many thanks 🙂

I’ve been having these weirdest experiences, I find myself in these like deja by moments but it’s weird cause it isn’t? I’ve had Deja Vu for years as a kid and these just aren’t the same. I know this because for some odd reason I think I’ve dreamt of them before? Like I see everything I’ve seen before in the moment and I’m like, wait I knew this would happen? is this just a me thing? 😂

Any tips...I notice mine comes and go's...it seems based upon many factors...usually when I'm able to clear my head and get out of my thoughts it comes on strong but if I'm overly surrounded by people it dissapears. OR I get it really strong when life is right about to change in a big way. I wish I could get more time all alone but it doesn't happen much anymore..but otherwise how can I work on developing this. I adore it for life advice tarot readings mediumship angel communications and whatnot...anything please. Would be an absolute blessing to have it with me always. Also how do you go about making sure your communication is only with divine beings or higher self. I th…

I've always wanted to ask this, and I'm rather curious as to how you guys will respond. The question is simple really. Do you believe that when someone dies, there is still a form of existence which they assume - whether as a consciousness of sorts, as a soul facing some judgement consistent with the religion you subscribe to, a being waiting for reincarnation or revelling in the full realization of their enlightenment, etc? Or do you believe that what we have here on Earth is all there is, that in the end one only turns to so much dust and nothing more? If you want you can just vote without expounding on your belief/s, but if you wish to do the latter you can post a r…
