Whimsy. Whimsy is why I am spiritual, it is a change from cynicism and the boringness/monotony of daily life. You can only take so much real world.

I believe in energies. I believe every thing (living and non living) has an energy, and it can be positive or negative. I believe this energy goes somewhere when we die, because it can’t be created or destroyed. I believe in ghosts for this reason, but I’ll come back to that.

I believe in Egyptian, Norse, Greek, etc gods/goddesses as metaphors and lessons. I really think that when I talk to them, like when I talk to Bast for example about wanting a new cat, there isn’t an actual person listening to me to grant wishes, it’s more manifestation.

I believe in manifestation because it’s essentially wishing and hoping. Hope is scientifically linked to resilience, and resilience only brings better things, from my own experience. And that’s an important point- this is my own experience with spirituality, yours probably looks way different, and so does the next person’s.

I use runes, oracle, and tarot cards as tools to help me reflect on good and bad, inspire hope and new ideas, and just for fun. I don’t think they can tell the future, but they can sometimes make you a bit more cautious and potentially avoid bad situations.

I believe that wishes can come true and in many superstitions. I like wishing on stars, I never split poles when walking with certain people, and I am always picking up pennies in hopes of heads. Sometimes I like to leave a penny on the ground at grocery store entrances because I believe there are other people with whimsy like me.

Back to ghosts. I think that people’s energies can stay on Earth after they’re dead, if they have something holding them there such as trauma or attachment to a person or object, or to the greater area the energy resides.

I believe in reincarnation and past lives. I have had glimpses of past lives before, like deep memories that the energy of me knows. The person I am is a vessel for my energy, soul, spirit, whatever you want to call it. It’s what makes me myself.

I think if a person’s energy is clear of something holding back (unlike with a ghost), then they reincarnate. I’m not sure how long the waiting period is, or how it works, or anything with the process- that’s not for me to know.

I believe the universe itself has an energy as well, and collective objects. A forest has a soul, just as a singular tree does. I think groups of people have a uniting energy, or multiple uniting energies. These can be where they grow up, their nationality, ethnicity, beliefs, family history, etc etc.

In the grand scheme of things, I am insignificant and only take up a blip in time. However, that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t make my life as full as possible in this moment. I believe that every day is an opportunity to seize the day, to wake up and start again. All’alba vincerò!
