I just re looked over the first couple pages of this thread and saw stuff mentioned, but from what I saw never explained, about the existence of spirits, and how there is scientific proof that they exist as well as personal experiences with them directly.
I personally don't believe in spirits but I was intrigued anyway, and was wondering if anyone would like to explain.

Also I don't have/use skype at all, and I figured most people on the forums are pretty familiar with using rabbit at this point that it would be a good place to start from at least.

I personally don't believe in spirits but I was intrigued anyway, and was wondering if anyone would like to explain. As for scientific proof, I will probably send a link later to some studies but I just spent a good portion of time looking for links for the front page and I'm too lazy to do any more right now sorry. Personal experiences I can point to are namely, for me, ones that revolve around my friend Desmond who is a spirit and has been with me pretty much ever since I can remember. But not everyone believes me because not everyone can see him or hear him, but some of my friends can and have interacted with him in the past too, or at least "sensed" him, so I take that as proof enough that I'm not just going crazy. ^_^; To me, he's just kind of another person I could go on about. One of my real-life pagan friends just calls him Desmond the Friendly ghost out of jest. (But honestly Des can be kind of a d-k to people, lol) He's a bit of a trickster spirit and highly unpredictable. From what he's hinted at he used to be alive at some point but sometimes i doubt how trustworthy he is because when I've questioned him about it he's gotten cagey but he's definitely not evil or bad at all. He's a good companion. That's only one example, I could also tell you about certain experiences with astral travel or when I decided it was a great idea to go spelunking about in sewers and graveyards at night?

Sure thing. *clears throat and pulls out note cards written in crayon*
Though I'm still extremely new to all of this, I mainly follow Norse belief. I've attempted to use magic (mostly healing) every now and then, sometimes with results and sometimes without. Though I am still learning about them, my main deities are Odin and Baldr.

I let my friend do a tarot card reading on me before, and then another talked to me about roaming spirits. That's all I can think of right now. Talking to people about spirits can be extra unsettling sometimes, yeah. Heck, even for me. I get spooked really easily too, so that doesn't help. As for the tarot, I can also kind of understand that. Sometimes the card art looks kinda creepy honestly. But most of the time it's harmless if you have someone who knows what they're doing and isn't trying to be sneaky about anything. Same goes for ouija boards, mostly harmless as long as you know what you're doing. People who go into doing types of witchcraft blindly and/or dabbling irk me. That's the kind of thing that can result in... bad karma, to say the least. Well the thing with the tarot card is that we did it over skype and he couldn't use a camera, so he just explained everything to me. He seemed to be pretty experienced though. As for Ouija boards, I am never going to touch the thing. 8th grade. I did one of those Charlie Charlie things, where you and another person each hold 3 unsharpened pencils and put them together and make a rectangle with them. Im sure it was fake but still creeped me out. After I was done, the class was about ended and I over heard the others that you were supposed to do something before ending it or else you'll get a terrible dream or something and if you don't make it, 'Charlie' will end up killing you. I told my aunt about it and how scared I was and she told my grandma who ended up grounding me from my electronics for like a weak or something. But then she realized how scared I was within like an hour and ungrounded me because she knew I learned my lessons of just not messing around with stuff like that. I made her sleep with me that night :') Again. Im sure the entire thing was fake, but it still scared me.

Hey there guys. I've been lurking around this thread for a while and I figured I'd finally post. I'm not really sure what I believe in, but some form of Paganism is definitely the closest. I'd figured I may as well hang out for a while and chat, maybe get some more information, I guess c:

I just got through with stretches and excercizing, so I'm feeling pretty good too. ;3
LET ME GET MY NOTES Because I absolutely love runes akfhalkfl;klj. And let me just say, I'm very jealous you actually have a set Sour. Actual stones 100% beats my little handwritten note cards. :'^)

It was a spiritual massage too, so I'm feeling excellent. I so needed it.
The question has probably been asked before, but what are your opinions on tarot cards? I'm looking into getting myself a set.

Post by Deleted on Jan 18, 2017 0:46:42 GMT -5
I think Aph has a set, so you might wanna ask her.
My opinions are fairly neutral. I might look into them later. Sometimes I think the card art is a little weird and creepy but in being weird they're open to many interpretations for sure. It's just another form of fortune-telling or divination like the runes are, honestly. Runes are just my favored choice because they're simple and direct to the situation. Tarot cards certainly have a bigger multitude of ways to be applied however, so I see the appeal. I may get a set eventually some day and learn more bout them.
I've had readings done a few times just for fun and so my friend could practice, and she for the most part was accurate in her telling with few errors and assumptions that were wrong. The other time was done semi-professionally by another friend who knew what he was doing. That one was frighteningly accurate and played itself out quite nicely.
I say this a lot because I think it's important: Don't dabble. Learn first.
I'm starting to sound like a broken record.

Ah, I see. I like to gather opinions (I get a bit obsessive when it comes to reasearch).
I've always felt quite drawn to them, personally. My best friend has a set of Dream interpretation cards (I can't remember their exact names) and she's learning to read them, so she does readings for me whenever I feel like I'm spinning out of control, and they're always scarily accurate.
And don't worry, I'll definitely do my research first!
