Hello! I'm very happy to have found this forum.
A little about me: I was raised in a very religiously strict non-denominational, non-church-going Christian household. Which sounds like a horrible oxymoron, but was really just horrible. And kind of moronic. I've considered myself to be a non-denominational neo-pagan since I was 11 and came upon the "spiritual, but not religious, except when you are" section in the library. I'm happy to call myself a neo-pagan for the most part, but I feel a strong rift (and a huge amount of guilt) between myself and my family who don't know that I haven't been a Christian for more than half of my life. To this day the only member of my family who knows is my mom, who is either very supportive or terrified of my imminent trip to hell, depending on her mood. Personally, I think I've been too passive in my pursuit of religion, with no better outcome than the rift I feel is as rift-y as ever and I am not very happy with anything. I guess that's why I joined this forum. Religion is very important to me and in neglecting my own I've been neglecting myself. I think I'm hoping that this'll goad me into making decisions and actually finding some kind of rituals to practice that mean something to me.
Outside of that, I'm a huge fan of astrology. Like, I'd rather have astrology books than new clothes or cable (I'm dying to get my hands on Ben Dykes Persian Nativities series and Regulus Astrology's A Rectification Manual) and look forward to the day when I can decorate my walls with astrological glyphs and essential dignity tables. I've just gotten seriously interested in Tarot, as it seems to mix my interest in divination and my interest in art quite well, but I still know very little about it. I love painting, gardening, baking any kind of dessert you can think of and sleeping my days away. I'm a housecleaner for now and I hate it so very much. Eagerly looking for something more interesting to do (that pays).
So, that's me in a nutshell. Thanks for reading and enjoy your day!
