ok so I've been on this forum for a bit and realized I never shared how I even got here lol
my grandma passed away about 4 years ago and when we were cleaning out her house I found this old wooden box under her bed. inside were a tarot deck, a little notebook full of her handwriting, and a few crystals wrapped in cloth.
nobody in my family knew she was into any of this stuff. she was like the most practical, no-nonsense woman I'd ever met?? it completely blew my mind.
I couldn't just put the box back. I started reading her notes and she had these little interpretations and feelings she'd written down over years. it felt like meeting a completely different side of her.
I didn't really know what I was doing but I started learning about the cards. at first it was just to feel close to her, but then I started noticing things... like the readings actually making me stop and think about my life in ways I hadn't before.
honestly spirituality didn't "save" me or anything dramatic like that. it just helped me slow down and ask better questions. and it gave me this unexpected connection to someone I thought I already knew completely.
now I'm kind of obsessed lol. curious what brought everyone else here?
omg this made me tear up a little. what a beautiful way to discover it
for me it was honestly a really rough patch - I'd just moved to a new city, didn't know anyone, and was feeling super lost. my coworker dragged me to a new moon circle thing and I went mostly to be polite
but something about sitting in a room with people who were genuinely asking big questions... I don't know. it cracked something open. started reading everything I could after that
What a gift your grandmother left you - not just the deck, but a window into her inner life. That's so rare and precious.
I came to spirituality similarly - through someone else's belongings, actually. Found a worn copy of "The Women's Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets" at a garage sale and it just rewired something in my brain. Spent the next year going down every rabbit hole I could find.
What I've noticed after years of working with people is that most of us don't choose spirituality so much as... arrive at it. Something creates an opening, and we walk through. Sounds like your grandmother's box was yours.
my entry point was so embarrassing lmao. I downloaded a horoscope app in college as a joke and started reading my chart ironically and then... stopped being ironic about it very quickly
like three months later I had a whole shelf of astrology books and was trying to explain moon signs to my very patient roommate
the grandma box thing is giving me chills because my uncle had a whole shelf of metaphysical books that I always thought were weird growing up. after he died I actually started reading them and I get it now?? like completely get it
I think sometimes our people are just ahead of us and we catch up later
these replies are making me so happy!! love that we all got here in such different ways
@ocean_child that last line is going to live in my head for a while. "our people are ahead of us and we catch up later" is exactly how it felt
