I've been interested in religion, spirituality, and the occult for a while, but a proper start has been somewhat elusive. I've attempted some basic spells, read a few books, and dabbled with meditation, but nothing has really stuck as of yet. I feel that a proper structure might do me some favors as opposed to a more ecclectic practice, but I'm uncertain as to what would really work for me and the number of options is rather dizzying.
I don't know quite what works for me, except that from my limited experience, I reckon I prefer the aesthetics and ethos of Heathenry, Witchcraft, Catholicism, Orthodoxy, Shinto etc. to the likes of Protestant Christianity, normie Buddhism, and a lot of the neopagan/new age/hippy dippy type stuff. Put another way, if my path were a woman, I certainly wouldn't want an Amish one or someone who's never heard of a shower. No hate, just not my style. I also don't seem to like sitting for too long and can be a bit restless at times, which I suspect is part of why I've had trouble keeping a meditative practice.
My main experience so far, as the title suggests, is with divination; mostly Tarot, coins, and I Ching. This is something I've been at for a few years ever since Chapter 24 by Pink Floyd piqued my curiosity about the I Ching and finally pushed me to explore something beyond the dull and drab materialist paradigm. I've also got an interest in spirits and entities thanks to paranormal stories and a few probable apparitions that I've encountered and hope to one day see again.
Thank you.
