I’m a bit confused and feel like I’m all over the place, haha. I’m not really sure what I should call myself, to be honest. I’m not sure where I fit in or if I fit in anywhere, really.
So what is probably the most important thing about me is that I would consider myself an atheist. In that I don’t believe in intelligent design but I believe the theory of evolution. However, I do sort of personify the Earth? I don’t know, I’ve seen people say that the Earth is our mother and to be kind to her, which I 100% agree with. I feel like the Earth provides for us and we need to give back to her. I also feel really connected to nature...it’s hard to explain but it’s like being out in nature just helps me feel “in the moment” and makes me emotional lol. It’s a good emotional though, not a bad emotional. I actually think the idea that the Earth created us is more beautiful than the idea that we were created by a God.
I also love the Moon. I won’t go into too much detail but I’ve struggled a lot with finding peace in my female body in the past because of childhood trauma. And it might sound silly but I feel like the Moon helped me a bit? Because she is considered feminine but still is held in such a high esteem by witches whereas a lot of religions have a singular masculine god. Plus, there’s the connection to the goddess Diana. If I had a matron Goddess, it would definitely be Diana. She’s the only deity I feel a strong connection with but I see her more as a personification of the Moon and a legend rather than an actual goddess. Like Diana is the only deity I feel a strong connection with, I feel a strong connection with moonstone as well. I definitely want to celebrate Esbats when I’m ready (I’m still studying up on everything haha). I might also be interested in celebrating Sabbats but like I said, I don’t believe in literal Gods and Goddesses so I find it hard.
I’m also really interested in learning more about astrology, shadow work, tarot reading and I don’t know if this is considered a pagan thing but empaths. Because honestly, I do believe I’m an empath. I’ve just always been able to pick up on other people’s emotions really easily. However, I don’t actually believe in astrology or tarot reading, it’s more that I find them interesting. I like to find out what the stars say about me and other people. I think this is part of the reason I feel so connected to the Earth. My sun sign is Virgo, my moon sign is Capricorn and my ascendant is Taurus. That’s all three Earth signs. I’ve already learnt palm reading for the same reason as tarot reading, I just want to find out what it says about me because I’ve always been curious and I like being able to give readings to others as well. I also believe in dreamwork, because I’ve been able to do lucid dreaming ever since I was younger without ever knowing what it was called. I definitely want to keep doing this and expanding my knowledge.
I’m also interested in practices such as herbology and kitchen witchcraft, meditation and grounding. I love crystals but it’s hard to explain why... I just feel safer carrying them around with me. For example, I have a Tibetan black quartz for strength. But I feel like it’s more of a helpful symbol? Like by keeping that quartz with me, I can see or feel it and that reminds me to remain strong throughout the day. I want to buy some moonstone in the near future because this reminds me of the Moon and to embrace my feminine energy.
There are also things I’m curious about and I might try in the future. Like I said, I’m still a newbie so I have to study a bit more before I decide if I want to do certain things or if I believe in certain ideas. I’m interested in potentially contacting spirits, chakras and auras and The Summerland. I’m not sure if I believe in an afterlife. But it would be nice to believe that a place like The Summerland exists. The description is exactly how I pictured the afterlife would be as a kid, strangely enough.
Is there a term that fits what I’m describing? I just think it would maybe ‘steer me in the right direction’ with my studying lol. Thanks so much!
