Spirituality

Are there any fellow pagans on this forum? Paganism played a huge part in my spirituality in the recent years, and it took a lot of courage to admit that I'm in fact a pagan. I was drawn to divine experience since I was a kid, but being raised in an atheist family I had no one to discuss these topics with. Even my craft didn't include any spiritual practices until I discovered some tarot youtubers (Kelly Ann Maddox in particular) talking about their deities. And then I start searching for my own... and it was a hell of a journey 🙂 currently I'm working with northern pantheon, it all started when I was studying runes, especially with Odin and Loki.

After not having seen this phenomenon for over 30 years, this is the third one this week in my area (NE Ohio). What does it mean? What’s coming? I know there’s a scientific explanation, but... Beautiful colors, which you can’t see in the picture. And the sky is a lot darker inside the circle than out. Odd.

Hi! 🙂 Sorry to post in here again, but does anyone know how to tell if you have a past life connection with someone? I recently posted in here about being married to someone I was intuitively led to, but finding myself being drawn to another man who is significantly older than me, and everything lining up for me and this other person, and having dreams about them, but it not making sense because I am happily married. This other person, however, beyond logic and reason, has made such an impression upon my heart that I feel entangled with them and loyal to them rather than my husband, as if my spirit is telling me that my loyalties and future are with this other…

Hey there! I'm very interested in what people think about past-lives, and if your spiritually has connected you to them, or awakened them in you. Also whether or not you believe in them? If you do, and feel you know of, or understand a past-life/soul connection, what is your experience with it? If not, outside of "Unable to empirically prove it", what makes you doubt the essence of past life experiences? I have some experiences with past-lives! Am more curious about your story though!

Hi everyone! I have a query about pathworking (or active imagination, depending on which perspective you approach the exercise from) and its value in a practical way. For background, there's a Tarot court card that I want to work with, the idea being that the court card represents an archetype and that perhaps I can work with this archetype as it exists within me. I have Robert Johnson's book "Owning Your Own Shadow" which is where I came across Active Imagination as a technique. But one book is never enough for me! So I went looking for other books and articles on pathworking and came across Nick Farrell's "Magical Pathworking" (which has been revised and updated a…

We are just days away from Imbolc! Does anyone have any plans for celebrating Imbolc this year? Any rituals or traditions you will take part in, either solo or with a group?

For anyone who celebrates it, do you have any plans for Lughnasadh?

A few months ago my cat, Penny got spooked when I was clearing my house to get ready to sell. She ran away and didn't come home. I've exhausted the usual avenues with no luck. But something makes me feel she is still alive and has turned a bit wild and feral. I tried to find her using a pendulum and a map, but I couldn't find her. I've attached the most recent photo I have of her, right before she ran away if that helps. I've moved house now and it's not so easy for me to keep looking for her. Thank you.

PSYCHIC TWINS: Terry and Linda Jamison My first time ever being exposed to them and I must say they ought to be ashamed of themselves. Friggin heck - no wonder some think Psychic Mediums are fakes and frauds. Do not blame anyone if these two are anything to go by at all. Seriously. Has anyone ever seen these two in action? The first video I saw of them was passable, but I had some real misgivings not to mention their dress attire put me off straight away. The same outfits and at their age? No individualism? VIDEO ONE: The following video, however, is very unsettling and a true cringe factor: 1) They are not objective. 2) Too many biases. 3) Trance …

Here's an Al-Anon concept that I remind myself of frequently ;): Q-TIP QUIT - TAKING - IT – PERSONALLY “Most of the time, we are bit players in other people’s dramas.” ~ Rick Hansen “Don’t take anything personally. Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering… Even the opinions you have about yourself are not necessarily true; therefore you don’t need to take whatever you hear in your own mind personally.” ~ Miguel Ruiz “If we are honest with ourselves, we have to admit that sometim…

most of what I am going to tell you comes from the old opening to channel book, as well as being your higherself book by orin and daben. I remember the book ask your angels , and Barbara ann Brennen books hands of light, and light emerging. the first thing to know is that it is we are doing. well by doing these excerises , we raise up the vibration of our physical body but also our auras, so we can better receive the wisdom of the guides. you may figure that they are the guides it should be easy for them to reach us !! well it was that easy,, everyone would be walking around talking to their guides like no tomorrow. it helped as well that our consciousness has …

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 🙂

Do you believe you have lived before? As what, and what other details do you know? How did you come across that info? Or do you think it's all bunk? Why tho?

I rarely use tarot for predictions any longer-I’m content with where I am right now. I use it as a divination tool - to connect with the Divine, which is what the word really means, divination I mean. Sometimes the answers are astounding! Most western Christians have been taught, & truly believe, that one passage in Exodus 22:18, “thou shalt not suffer a witch, or sorceress, to live”, not knowing or caring what that word means in ancient Hebrew, which it was written in. It actually translates from M’Khashepah=kash, herb, in the Septuagint, as someone who uses herbs or plants for good or ill, sometimes a poisoner. Good ‘ol King James sure twisted that one around, eh? O…

When I was a child - Sunday was church going day. My parents were losely Catholic, and my father liked to take us to "ye old Cathedral" for sunday mass, followed by lunch at Intercontinental Hotel. I enjoyed choosing my "sunday best" - which was how 'putting on your best frock for church' was described in our culture, and joining in the hymns (although they were never as good as hymns at school - because those, we practiced well, with harmony). I enjoyed even more my favourite Sunday lunch. Spaghetti bolognaise 🙂 followed by chocolate something or other. I was never truly Catholic and after I left home - I spent sometime exploring different spiritual formats until I foun…

There is a Kabbalistic Lineage that works with images directly. I always had great respect for them, as in some points of view that is the female part of this, missing in many of the old systems, almost everywhere I think. In Egypt was called "Left Eye of Horus" I think, not sure. Right Eye is the Structural stuff and working directly with Images is suppose to be the Left. Since that requires dialog, and is always surprising and changing it isn't easy to present it in a book or a video, so most of their exercises seem like a normal visualization, initially. But the system is not based on that, this is just the surface stuff. They are done fast, because... Well, …

I hope I'm putting this post in the right place...I don't really see my lunar connection as part of astrology (though maybe it is?) and it is a spiritual connection, one that calls to my soul, so I thought it belonged here more than Chatter Room. But feel free to move if it should be somewhere else :) This full moon time feels especially powerful to me. When I mentioned this to my husband, he pointed out that it's the first full moon since the total solar eclipse, so maybe that has something to do with it. (We traveled together to the path of totality to see the eclipse, and it was maybe the most beautiful and powerful thing I have ever seen.) I was reading some t…

Hello everyone, For me, who has little knowledge of Celts and Druids, this was quite informative. Available here until January 2025.

Yes! You read that correctly as in the metal Lead. Tamera Rubin from her fb group and web page as shown that some (all?) metal Tibetan Singing Bowls are made with several metals, including lead. Thats probably why some have weight to them, while a larger bowl does not have that much weight. I just found this out, and I'm not smiling. The Lead does absorb into our body and it does get digested out. I have read a lot about this. Is anyone aware of this? I'm not looking for comments like one more thing to worry about, or if it matters. Of course it matters. You matter. I matter.

I have an unusual situation in real life. My career mentor seem to have quite a bit of synchronicity happening in our lives. His best friend, his youngest son, his former resident who I also mentored and is now one of my closest friends, and I all share the same birthday. My mentor, his best friend, his resident and I are also all pharmacists. His best friend, his resident and I are also friends. The chances of this happening are astronomical. Would love to know what the odds are in Vegas for that! Someone mentioned that we might be part of a soul group that has met up in this life. Possibly just to keep each other company and support each other during this life jou…

Ok, I will admit that I totally made up the word “soul mapping” because I didn’t know what else to call this. But I’ll do my best to try and explain. The intention is to create a vision board - or a soul/manifestation board - with images that sings to you soul (pun intended!) and help you map out your spiritual path and the flavors of your inner essence. So it will both work as a way of exploring your spiritual landscape as well as reaffirm and manifest the goals and wishes that you have. (This topic could have been placed in the Magic and witchcraft category too but since the main purpose was to gain spiritual clarity, I put it in here. If you want to take it further by …

This is not to be confused with a new house clearing or blessing, but something I just do time to time. I walk around the corners of each room and use my chime (although clapping disperses energy as well). Light some incense and walk around rooms (my smudging). When the place is closed up a lot in winter, that and opening a window as I can for as long as I can (but hard when it's COOOLD) just helps energize my space and bring some positive vibes. I also may cleanse the stones I have on my windowsills during the super moon. And from time to time, I sprinkle salt around the front of the outside of my door. Just need a bit of quick clearing, I just use my…

Do you have any rituals or ceremonies you perform on special days, like Christmas, your birthday, the equinoxes/solstices, eclipses, and the like? I don't really have any, altho I usually cleanse my working tools with incense around the first or last day of the month. I also include the reveal and consecration of any brand new deck I want to work with during this time. I perform special Tarot readings on some holidays, like a Months of the Year spread on New Year's, and different spreads on Samhain and on my birthday. Let's not forget the excellent Sacred Days of Midsummer Reading Group that RavenOfSummer hosts on the days surrounding the summer solstice. This …

Hello, We're aware of repeating numbers, sequences like 111, 222 to 999, 11:11, 12:21, and so on, termed as 'Angel numbers'. There's plenty of information on the internet, probably because they're noticed universally by people who are into spirituality. But what about those specific signs which appear in a similar way as these numbers, almost synchronously! So, how do we find information as to why these signs are 'haunting' us and what is the meaning of them? It's been almost 2 years, I guess, I am seeing weird signs like a name (of a male and I've no idea who he is) and I'm often being shown (almost like it's slapped on my face lol) people (particularly male) …

Apologies if this is already a thread however I have looked through and can’t see anyth8ng on the subject. This is not something I have attempted yet , actually that’s a lie I have used a spread called the “hello from heaven” to communicate with departed loved ones , But I was thinking more on location ghost hunts . I have been on many organised hunts to many haunted locations across the U.K. over the past 5 years and the usual techniques have been used. Some to great effect oon some locations some not so effective at others , however it has always been similar tools and ways of communication , obviously I am are these are tried and tested and bring good results but it…
