Spirituality

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?

Spiritually speaking of course. When you feel like you've hit a wall, or you've treaded back in a circle to the same old wondering place, what do you turn to? In the past, I've gone back to texts that have resonated with me (Tao Te Ching, Bhagavad Gita), shuffled through the tarot deck and let myself get lost in the art, grabbed on hard to a mantra and meditated.... Right now, none of those things are "clicking" so, I post this thread to hopefully find some inspiration. And if nothing else to allow others to share what they have found. So, where DO you turn when you need to clear a spiritual clog?

Hi all! I appreciate this is a very, very broad question, but what resources can people recommend around exploring spirituality? Podcasts and YouTube channels would be great as I enjoy listening while I'm working, but also books and websites, etc... Let me attempt to narrow things down and clarify a little. Spirituality was a huge part of my life when I was younger, but over the years that part of my life sort of tucked itself away inside me, for lack of better words. I didn't consciously deny it, but my connection to it just faded and got forgotten about, for various reasons. Over the last year or so I have crashed headlong back into my sense of s…

Just started listening to this audiobook. Wow it’s amazing. Just wondering what everyone’s thoughts on it were? I’ve listened to half the book in one day.

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? 😂

I am looking at purchasing my first incense burner with incense. I’m a bit confused as to the different types. Do they all have different purposes? e.g. a certain type for attracting money. Or do they all do the same thing just with a different scent?

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 think that's vital to spirituality. And I don't think it gets the attention it should. Today was pretty mundane. I walked to a salon and got a haircut, all that bad COVID chopping in front and too-long-for-my-age stuff is finally gone. I don't have to put my hair up at work anymore, I'm back to my Bette Davis All About Eve/Lauren Bacall/Rita Hayworth long bob hair. I don't LOOK like them, but I can once again make my hair do all those things. I'll settle for that. 😄 I went to a couple of stores after that. And it's still hot here, so I finally stopped at a convenience store where I've always seen people hanging out front and called an Uber. There is shade there, …

For a while now I've been seeing double digits on clocks and timers. I know it's hard to figure out what these can mean but there have been other increasingly strange occurrences and I'd love to know what it all means so if anyone has any insight I'd greatly appreciate it! Some days when I pull oracle cards I'll get 3 cards with the number 11 on them, or one night I pulled 3 cards - one was 44, the other 2 added up to 44. Things like this have been happening more too. The other day I was watching a youtube reading whilst flipping through my tarot deck and I looked at The Emperor card and right at that moment the lady in the video pulled the same card. I was listening to t…

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…

Hi, I posted a topic in dream interpretation and I talked about that too. So if that sounds familiar, this is the reason why. 😉 I'm gonna try to explain in detail and as best I can because I tend to miss some details. I also hope I can post the topic here. In 2018, for two months, I sent a few comments to somebody about his artwork as well as various talking which were posted on his social media page. That person never replied to my comments and I don't know him in the real life. I was just interested in what he used to post. When I sent them on his page, I started to sense a period of his life when he was a teen and then a relationship he had in …

Apologies if I've posted in the wrong section. I did do a search, but couldn't find anything on this. I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for a beginners guide to Numerology. I think this would be a good accompaniment to my learning tarot, but I really don't know much about Numerology so something that takes me through the basics would be great! Thanks in advance 🙂

CLARIFICATION. Doesn't have to be religious, can be nature-inspired. ANY book that has inspired, made you look at things differently, in ANY sort of spiritual, non-material way. For instance, books by Thoreau or Emerson could definitely fall into that category. Can be non-fiction or fiction. I have a lot. JUST a few of them in no particular order: Creative Visualization Relax, You're Already Home Buddhism Plain and Simple FYI, I am not a traditionally-religious person, yet study religion and philosophy and take what I find of use. I learned from Eastern and Western religions. I have some strong leanings in …

Hello all! I hoped to maybe learn a bit about experience that some readers may have with spirituality complicating mental health issues (or vice versa). It’s a heavy topic, and I could not find a thread that exists on it yet. Please feel free to point me in its direction if I am mistaken. To be transparent about it and open up the conversation, I was diagnosed with OCD some years back now. It has affected my life greatly, but I have had the help of a wonderful therapist who pretty much saved my life. However, my mental health has been a major challenge for me when practicing my spirituality. I feel kind of paralyzed a lot of the time because I have…

I just found this ideology I guess you call it - and holy cow - I think I'm a 6. Anyone using the Enneagram in their shadowork?

Seems appropriate, given that it is Martinmass tomorrow and we are officially entering winter, to think about the gifts or benefits of all aspects of the dark. From the literal long winter's nights to the shadow sides of our souls and the the painful or fear inducing, destructive aspects of life. 2020 has brought plenty of examples to choose from and I don't mean merely finding positive aspects or outcomes of horrible situations but what we can learn about ourselves by seeking out the lessons, even the painful ones. I was thinking about Trump (who hasn't?) and it struck me how he has taught me that sheer force of will can propel a person to dizzy…

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 really want to expand my knowledge on spirituality. I use tarot for a deeper insight however I want to find peace and help others. I have worked on myself to level my emotions however now I wish to grow. Any advice on how to start?

Here is a site that was once very popular, but now could use some new members...(or its will close for ever)..Some great topics there too! http://www.spiritualforums.com/vb/index.php?s=f0a906c6071b847308a8b3f67f7bd506

I've just been watching an interview between Eckhart Tolle and Lothar Schafer on YouTube - very interesting and I'm going to have to try and find the full length interview. It's well worth watching as he explains how spiritual belief and (quantum) science can co-exist harmoniously. @Raggydoll got me onto him and I bought his book, Infinite Potential - one of the two he's published in English afaik. The other book is In Search of Divine Reality: Science as a Source of Inspiration. Sadly, I came across this article when I went looking for him online: https://news.uark.edu/articles/52702/department-of-chemistry-and-biochemistry-mourns-passing-of-profe…

OK, so, I had a bit of an odd experience tonight and I wonder if anyone else has experienced something similar. I'd pulled 3 of my decks out earlier today to take some photos of them and show off their pouches I'd put together for them. I'm terrible at putting things away so just left them on the arm of the chair and went off to finish the post. After dinner and after the dogs had been fed (we have 3 including a 7 month old pup) we let them back inside and chilled out for a bit. Then, completely out of the blue Nova, our pup, started barking and seemed a bit freaked out. She went over towards the couch with the cards on it then bark and back away staring at t…

Hello! I would like you to share your experiences with spirit guides. How do you connect? Do you use tarot? Do you know their names? I use tarot to help connect with mine since I have complications in contacting them any other way. I’ve been much closer with them as of late. They have their own significator cards, the Queen of Swords and the Queen of Cups.

I personally believe that we are ONE and the more people join for a group meditation the better. Here is a link to a group meditation, there is also a Time Conversion Table so you know what time it will be at your place. https://mailchi.mp/dfb4970313b3/global-unity-and-peace-meditation-3-more-days-1301429?fbclid=IwAR1vLZJbfDIaUOt6fmzMA0l6AexE80jCdsgNHz4kv3fFJxm40IaFs8LXOQk

Started this topic not to mess up a different thread (For you @Oxfret and @joy, and anyone else who wants to join in!). My life path number is 29/11. What's yours? How connected do you feel to your numerology number/s, do you feel like it represents your energy, the good, the bad, and how do you use it in tarot? I feel more connected to 29/11 in a positive sense now than I did when I was younger. 29/11 can be quite the double edged sword and I felt the pointy end of that for a long time before I matured enough to not give a damn anymore and start caring for myself more than others (reformed Empath here!). One of the blessings is the hig…

Does anyone here ever experiment with states of flow while they do Tarot? I've had to be in a heavy state of flow consistently for quite some time now due to health issues and self healing. I come and go from it depending on what I am doing, but am trying to integrate it into my life more and more in practical ways. It seems like I always draw the right cards, and I've been experimenting making my own lay outs. I seem to have a specialty, and that is mirrored or self reflective readings. I make my own card lay outs that I don't even understand while I am doing them, they are very ambitious. As I lay the cards out I expect each card to compliment its counter part like a…
