Sorry we didn’t get to this right away! It’s taken some thinking… our spirituality has always been a personal little winding path filled with talking to trees and bugs and the planet. As a kid we’d always kind of inject our own beliefs and structures into whatever framework we were given (Unity and Christian Science as a kid). We started getting into Wicca, Neo-Paganism (with a particular interest in Dragon Magic), and stuff like that around junior high and high school… but again it was mostly just a framework to hold up a small set of feelings and beliefs… and we moved on to something just kind of vague and free form… right now we have no real practices, but mostly that’s just because we have no space or items by which to. We do still occasionally do tarot, but we need to go through an separate out the old deck from the new if we can (we thought it would be clever to double up the deck and it hasn’t been comfortable to work with at all since…).
A lot of our base spirituality is drawn from things we feel and phenomenon we experience. Sensing a responsive force from other living things and objects, seeing creatures out of the corners of our eyes, singing with the wind and the stars. Always a strong sense of being other and feeling as though we are the wrong shapes, which eventually erupted into many beings and strong — chronological — flashbacks/re-experiences of their memories… which we still don’t have much insight into… We eventually got involved in the dragonkin community because, until recently, our dragon selves have always been the loudest.
Right now we’re playing with the idea of our spiritual beliefs in the framework of our mental health… [which is a bit of a heavy topic for some]. Nothing solid at the moment, but looking into things like how Autism, PTSD, and DID intersect our identities and kin-ness; spiritual ritual as stimming; self acceptance as a spiritual practice; truth seeking and scholarly-ness as a spiritual practice; etc… so we’re kind of like… a… religiously ambiguous psychological witch.
