Is anyone here spiritual?

Question

If so, how do you practice?/how does it impact your life?

Answer

I see dead people..... I can interact with them.....

Answer

I follow the Old Norse Gods. From what I can tell traveling around the vast world that is the internet that prayer and worship of the Gods and ancestors is a hot button issue.

Some will jump down your throat and call you an idiotic sheep, where others will say that that's a genius idea to do ______.

I'm in the process of setting up an alter and a shrine. A huge part of Asatru, or at least my understanding, is that it's not only the worship of the fantastical Gods but also the worship of your ancestors. It's more important that you can show them that you live an honourable and just life.

An example would be recently I decided to switch my major from accounting to Nursing. The first thing I did wasn't "Oh I should pray to Eir and Frigga and offer them some mead." It was more along the lines of "What would Opa do? What would Great Aunty Pat do?"

My Great Aunt is my namesake, so it's extra important that I not screw up the legacy she left behind.

Opa passed away when I was 6. However he spent the vast majority of those 6 years teaching me how to be a person. A prime example "You should never ever say something as rude as "that's really good, for a ____" that's very rude and implies that you think they're a lesser person."

Or "When you get married, it's your job to clean his house, iron his shirt, and cook his food. (This made me furious so I interrupted, he followed this by saying.) It's equally important my dear Peony that they clean YOUR house, iron your shirt and cook your food."

IN SHORT: I forget where it's from, but a common proverb I run across is:

My name is not my own it's on loan from my ancestors, My honour is not my own it's on loan from my children.

That really speaks to me, so I try to hold myself as if Opa, Great Aunty Pat, Great Oma Ester (etc) were standing behind me watching.

Answer

I meditate for about an hour everyday, it's clears my mind and I feel more engetic, I can also come out of my body while doing so which is a great experience if you train yourself

Answer

I don't like organized religion but I would say I'm spiritual. I recently got a fertility psychic reading but am skeptical about it. Been TTC for 16 going on 17 months... Been using pre-seed since May... No luck. Just started taking Vitex and I'm going to use Softcups this coming cycle. Baby dust✨

Answer

This year I dreamt about several horses from a barn dying and the next day they were dead.. I have several altars for my deities/affinities but I never actually sit down and pray but I always think about spirituality and reflect on it. I want to be a more devoted pagan in 2016
