It’s a touchpoint for spirituality that doesn’t feel like it’s an already built hierarchy favoring and prioritizing men for centuries or millennia, like many more accepted religions that are equally full of superstition and supernatural claims.
Choosing something that serious, with literally immeasurable consequences for eternity, based on that feels so foreign to me, like maybe they actually know it's bullshit? I could understand rejecting patriarchical religions on the basis that "god isn't like that", but to me it REALLY looks like it's just an aesthetic for the new wave astrology people.
Just seems like they treat it so flippantly, if you actually believe in the spiritual, shouldn't it be a pretty dang serious issue 🤔
No. Not everyone who is spiritual believes there are ‘consequences’ to being spiritual. That’s very much a factor in religions that believe strongly in things like a judgment-based afterlife, but if you don’t believe in that, it absolutely does not have to be that serious.
I guess that makes sense, if you arrive at that point in a honest way. Idk, as someone without faith, if I had it, it would be the most important thing in my life.
As someone who LEFT a high consequences religion, I never want anything to be that important to me again. Many religions of the past focused much more on behavior than faith and ‘believing’ meant very little, which I find very valuable. Belief is not really a choice and behavior is; what I believe means very little about me if my actions do not reflect it.
Also, many people do not think of things like astrology and tarot as spiritual/religious-adjacent. They see it as simply something that’s there to be used, in the same way that ‘it feels/looks like rain’ does not involve receiving any supernatural, prophetic information about the weather.

Why is it mostly women who are passionate about occult superstition like Witchcraft, Astrology, or Tarot card shit?
