Hello! I don't really know how to label myself but I am a pagan. I have tried to avoid thinking about my experiences for a long time while believing that I am just mentally ill. I am 30 years old and I have been experiencing "weirdness" for a long time. My brain has been scanned. I have tried therapy, medications, and all that but I still see, feel and hear things I shouldn't. Others have seen those things too.
It's getting too hard to explain everything "rationally". I have experimented with energy manipulation, healing, divination, shamanic journeying and herbal magic and it seems to work. This is a part of me and I can accept it now. It's not an illness.
I feel free and much happier now. I set a simple altar for the first time and started writing about my experiences. It's been... emotional. And it's odd and liberating to read other peoples' stories and experiences that are similar to mine in quite specific ways. I also keep remembering things I had forgotten.
I have researched local ancient paganism a bit too and a lot of it makes sense to me. My grandma also has talked about those things. She would say she is a christian if somebody asked but she also has a "house elf" and it doesn't end there...
I don't follow any tradition and I think I never will. I do my own thing and a lot of it has been shown to me by someone from "other realms" when I needed help or guidance.
