Spirituality

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…

Not sure if this is where I should discuss this but here we go! So, for the most part, I call myself an Atheist, but I don't feel as though that is entirely true. I feel like I may be an entire-ist? I have found myself to believe that all gods and goddess exist. That being there is a 'force' per se that exists to be whatever a person needs it to be. If that makes sense. So, there are gods but at the same time, there are not, in the sense that this 'force' changes itself to the needs of each person. What they need to believe it becomes. A single god for one set of peoples and thousands for another. So, like I don't classify myself as religious as I don't practice a …

Hey guys, I'm aware it's a full moon soon, I'm wondering if you had any tips for manifestation. I normally listen to Jason Stephenson before I sleep or dauschcy. But I'm wondering if there any specific things I'm missing, and should be doing. I've written lists times before now but nothing seems to work. Thank-you 💕

I have been feeling an energy that is not my own nor of the ones I love. Its gross, its hateful, and it hit me like morning sickness and its terrible. I can feel that someone hates me or wants me gone. I pinpointed the source- the “friend” of my twin soul (different story for a different forum). I havent had good vibes about her from day 1 and I can literally taste her jealousy and hatred! Its so ugly. How do you survive these? Im literally sucking on lemons to try and combat the nausea. When will this get better and how can I protect my energy? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good afternoon everyone, There's a topic that has been on my mind for a long time now, and I don't know why I hadn't made a post here about it. So, I've been thinking about the role our ancestry and cultural roots play in our spirituality and, in general, why do we feel the need to explore and to know where we're from. I see many people taking DNA tests or making family trees etc and I wonder where that need comes from. I myself have been experiencing that need too, especially as I am beginning to be interested in witchcraft. My roots are pretty vague: I am Greek, and I grew up in Athens. However, as some people know, modern Greek traditions are more of a mixture of…

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…

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? 😂

This thread is dedicated to myths around the world. The first myth to explore are the Saja Boys from Korean mythos. This is a really interesting video explaining just what the Saja Boys are. This is a fascinating dance of the Yunbyul Ballet Company. Share your favorite myths!

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

Hey :) i already wrote about getting a weird feeling whenever i am touching my run oracle. I only scrachted at the surface of white magic, I always avoided getting deeper into the whole magical and spiritual stuff because of that feeling that i cant describe, but everytime i am getting drawn to it again and everytime it is stronger. Thats why i tried again today after avoiding this topics for months and from a new i got this strange feeling, but this time i may be able to tell, what it means... i got the feeling someone is trying to stop me from dicking deeper, becoming more comfortable with all of it. I am not sure if that one wants to stop me because he wants to pr…

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.

My daily draw this morning reminded me of the concept of 'near enemies' in Buddhist psychology. I thought some might find this concept interesting: Buddhism has four virtues that its followers try to cultivate: 1) loving-kindness – active goodwill towards everyone 2) compassion – recognizing the suffering of others, not turning from it, and wishing to relieve it 3) sympathetic joy – celebrating in someone else’s joy and good fortune 4) equanimity – calm awareness regardless of what is happening It also describes four 'near enemies' of these virtues; unlike the ‘far enemies’ which are the direct opposites (hatred, cruelty, envy, and bias), the near enemies are sn…

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…

Anyone into this symbol around here? For personality or other reasons? I'm mostly into the personality aspect of it, though I'm aware it has other uses. (I also know my Jungian type, ISFP aka MBTI, but this is mostly about the enneagram) I myself has a tritype of 9w1, 5w4, 2w3, subtype Sx/Sp. I mostly think of myself as a nine body type, but the mind/image crossover of 5w4 is very prominent, and I'm beginning to tap more into my image 2w3 also. Of course people have all 9 types, but the enneagram is mostly a negative system pointing out ones dark areas. Meaning that the types one doesn't have is more free from problems. These 3 have been the source of the …

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?

I was inspired by the what is your religion thread so I found some online quizzes to take. Sounds like fun! Some of these quizzes are iffy as to what they're getting at but I only picked ones that weren't bible thumping quizzes. There were a lot of them out there! This is the first one: http://www.findmyreligion.com/index.php Second one: https://www.sun-gazing.com/quiz-the-definitive-religion-and-spirituality-test/ Third one: http://www.gotoquiz.com/the_religious_identity_test Fourth one: http://www.selectsmart.com/RELIGION/

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 all X/ I prayed for a while and searched for some answers. Then I heard God say: "It's not up to me". I wonder what he meant? Could it be down to God or does it means that God doesn't decide?

Hi! I just want to ask you guys about spirit guides. I believe my spirit guide is the one that's giving me information about the reading. Im new to this since before last month I was a nonbeliever of anything spiritual. I talk to my spirit guide daily through my daily readings. I once had a reading where he told me about himself. He said he is a guardian/gatekeeper in the realm of the dead and that I used to be with him (like we were partners) in that realm until I was sent to live on Earth. I call him Ace since every time I shuffle my deck for a reading, Ace cards would always appear or fall from the deck. I have 2 different decks but still it happens for the both of it.…

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 …

Hi everyone I am happy to give further detail in the comments, but I am a very intuitive person and I am married to someone I knew I would marry the day I met. Spirit told me when and how we would get together, even before I knew him (and thus it was beyond logic or reason). I had dreams about it, synchronicities, numbers lining up, and many connections. We have now been married 10 years, with children, and are happy. But over the past couple of months it has become evident that I have fallen in love with someone else - my PhD supervisor to be exact. Ive never had chemistry with anyone like this, and I’ve never even met him in person, only over Zoom …

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 …

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…

I posted in Spirituality because, for me, HYGGE is ALL about spirit! Making my spirit happy, cozy, at home. Hygge is just about being cozy, comfort, warmth (both the literal and figurative kind) Hygge in my home (ESPECIALLY my bedroom) is: a thick comforter THICK soft socks candles curling up with a great book with my dog by my side artwork I love to look at on my walls hot cocoa soft, fluffy...well, pretty much anything! So...how do you hygge?
