Iâd consider myself somewhere between spiritual and maybe kind of pagan, idk
Most of my practice revolves around plants and crystals (no Iâm not going to sell you some alternative medicine bullshit, science and spirituality are separate and any mixture doesnât end well) ex catholic so I burrow small aspects from that but tend to avoid it mostly. Been looking into deities lately but havenât integrated any into my primary stuff yet.
Also been doing stuff with a tarot deck lately, thatâs been fun
Fun post! I practice Hoodoo, which is Afro-American Folk Magic. It encompasses various West African spiritual practices under one term and is based on the belief that nature â trees, plants, and similar entities â has spirits that deserve our respect. This practice involves conjuring spirits, connecting with the roots, honoring our ancestors, divination, and offering praise.
Iâm still learning, but recently the women who have shaped me into who I am today chose me through their spirits (This is called mounting). I want to make them proud. While working with spirits can be a bit intimidating, my culture teaches that you cannot engage with âthe rootsâ without understanding them, and there are as many benevolent spirits as there are malevolent ones.
