I'd consider myself somewhere between spiritual and maybe kind of pagan, idk

Most of my practice revolves around plants and crystals (no I'm not going to sell you some alternative medicine bullshit, science and spirituality are separate and any mixture doesn't end well) ex catholic so I burrow small aspects from that but tend to avoid it mostly. Been looking into deities lately but haven't integrated any into my primary stuff yet.

Also been doing stuff with a tarot deck lately, that's been fun

Happily agnostic. Who knows what's out there. The universe is vast, and we only see a few dimensions. We can't fathom what is out there or anything about it. So I believe it's equally arrogant to definitely say there is a god or to say there absolutely is not. Or many gods. Or the Q continuum.

What I will say is that the church here has both hurt society and hurt my family individually, and has been thoroughly corrupted. I don't think of any individual as less for believing or not believing in a higher power, it brings comfort, but the organized structure has hurt too many people.
