Everything Under the Moon

That's true. I've been feeling a lot of pressure lately to declare myself one or the other, but I think you're right. I definitely have to do more homework regarding different pathways. Thanks

Thanks for your response. I'll look into it. I think that may be a good idea. I started working with energy in kind of a raw way, but that quickly turned into something different. Maybe if I approach it from a different angle, it'll work for me.

Hello, everyone! I was raised as a Christian and was forced into it. I was confirmed without fully wanting to be or understanding what it meant because that was expected of me. I turned my back on religion for a while, got into paganism, tried out satanism (that wasn't for me), and practiced witchcr...

I've had the same problem before and then I've also went by another tree and felt like it had become my new best friend. I'm not sure why this happens, but I think it's normal. It might not be you or humans, maybe it's just because the tree isn't meant to be involved in your life....I don't know. I'...

I'm sorry you're having troubles. Maybe you can take some time to go into your area and get to know the elements? I've felt similar to what you described, but just under different circumstances. Sometimes, it helps me to think of "home" as not a physical place, but a spiritual sort. So goi...

I find the mandala in the link you gave really pretty and accurate, too.

Wow. I'm really late in getting back to this. My apologies. I don't have one, but I'll check it out.

Well, I don't really have a specific type. I just sort of do what I can and let it be, if that makes sense.

This is all informative & interesting. Thanks

It's interesting to think about, but I still feel that spirituality doesn't go against Marxism as much as religion does. But then again, as mentioned before, there is the issue of how it's used that plays a big part. and I think I agree with the picture you posted.

First off, thank you guys for responding :) Secondly, I will say that I do not label myself as any religion, but actually refer to myself as 'spiritual'. I have made sure that any religious tendencies that appeal are not reactionary and in any other sense don't go against dialectical materialism. I ...

I waS raised a Lutheran, but I strayed from that path a while ago. I'm not wiccan, but I practice witchcraft sometimes. It's changed my life by giving me more control over what goes on, by allowing me to better tap into my spiritual side & thus strengthening my spirituality, and also by allowing...

Like The Judge said, meditating before I go to sleep always helps me. I have more vivid dreams that way. It's like, I get so far into myself, I don't know if I'm asleep or in a trance, but eventually my dreams that I'm conscious of end and I do fall into sleep. (or, if I already am asleep, into a de...

These sound really good. I can't wait to try them! What do they taste like?

I want to point out that it might take time to connect with fire. For a while, I wasn't psychologically stable when trying to connect with water, and that got in the way. But for me, the easiest way to connect with fire is through candle gazing. (I think someone mentioned that earlier.) Hope it work...
