Curious, how did you figure out who you should work with?

I know some people have a spirit or deity that just calls to them, but when that hasn't happened to you yet. Where do you begin to see who maybe is willing to work with you spiritually?

This is how I figured my path out and felt mysteriously called to the practices.

It was strange for me. I think it was 2005, somebody showed me a Quran in a language I could not read. I felt something from it but could not really understand what was happening. Then I started reading random spiritual books and at the same time felt a strong pull towards sufi and monastic practices, also saint work. I could not really describe it, it just kept coming over and over again. There were also strange dreams.
At some point I got the books and started working. Some of these books were at home in random boxes but I never knew we had them, there were lots of random books, piles and boxes. Mostly boring random books.
Felt like I had found exactly what I was looking for. Also grimoires came around that time. Immediately felt connected to everything, not sure how or why but it happened very fast. The saint work too, it was interesting from the first moment.

The overall situation contributed towards it too. Dire situation, several people with cancer around me, and my own personality. Introverted and with very limited interests, main being spirituality. The methods I started using came out of nowhere, I felt some strange guidance through intuition. Then lots of trial and error.

The earliest spiritual "conquest" days I had to stay at home all the time, just in case because the people with cancer could cause a mess. I was just studying random books, Osho, Castaneda, whatever I could find. By the time they passed away, I was doing rituals all the time with everything.

This felt like that for me, being called. I suppose if it's different then you could attempt to experiment and aim for something. See if you get a response. Show some dedication, devotion.

Who called you?

Who

These systems, in general, why I don't know. Then some saints too. I kept seeing them in dreams and I couldn't understand what was going on.

These systems, egregores, whatever they are, I wish I could understand why all that happened. I have a lot of Russian Orthodox ancestors, maybe it has something to do with all that but it doesn't explain the attraction to sufism, nobody like that in the family. It's a mystery.
