I truly believe this and at the same time often forget it. Lol ❤️

@Gianmichael Salvato that makes a lot of sense.

Yessss! I am liking this aspect. Part of my goals this year is to live more intentionally. That includes my use of social media. Because I see value in this platform, the work you do and community you’re creating here I created a few pages in my habit tracker. One for interacting and commenting. The other to track the progress in courses I take here. Gamifying life works well for my neurotype for multiple reasons. ❤️

@Gianmichael Salvato lol that doesn’t surprise me in the least since you know how I operate. lol I am still amazed by the transformation of my journalling and planning practices that have transpired and how fluid and functional they are. It was super easy to add these trackers to my current system. ❤️😍🙌

Thank you! Grateful to be here!

Uh I didn’t know spiritual hygiene were 2 words that go together. It’s the first time I think I have heard this phrase which fascinates me. I had to go use Gemini AI to tell me exactly what Spiritual Hygiene is. Lol I think have always grouped this with self care and didn’t have another word for it. lol. Spiritual hygiene I an essential part of my daily care. ❤️

@Gianmichael Salvato lol Interesting. And yes it does. Which was neat because it gave me a means to inventory whether I am doing this at all or well. Lol It discussed what it can mean depending on beliefs and what those activities might be. It also explained what happens when we don’t take care of our Spiritual Hygiene and the sort of things that can manifest. I could link the response here if you like. Spiritual Hygiene is something I would encourage ppl to do because I see so much value in it.

This photo is of Hubby and I from August 2020. We hiked a lot during Covid. This was also a time in my life where I was beginning to search for more after deconstructing my religious upbringing. I was searching for something that brought me into greater touch with my roots. My Mom is Sicilian, was raised to assimilate. My Dad disliked the Catholic Church and so we were raised Mennonite. 🤦🏻‍♀️. And like city Mennonite so no I wasn’t raise like the Hutterites or the Mennonites that live similar to them. Lol Anyway after breaking from 12 step programming and the Mennonite church I was kinda floating around trying to find my place for several years. I started practice magic and one day I looked up “secular magic” on YouTube. Maybe one of my search’s was “Sicilian witchcraft”because Gianmichael’s videos came up in there and it was the first time I had heard anything about Sicilians almost at all in my life. I never had much success at finding comprehensive videos about the culture that weren’t touristy. Anyway if you know them, they weren’t promoting Sicilian witchcraft. 😂 Anyways most of what I found on YouTube didn’t resonate but I started talking to Gianmichael and began to get a better understanding of what I would describe today as Sicilian folk magic and other spiritual practices that have enriched my life. I’m a stay at home Mom, ADHD, with ND kids, I homeschool and love arts and crafts particularly junk journalling. I live in a pretty isolated community, next to Lake Winnipeg. I am usually a SOLO parent as my Hubby works out of town on long rotations but He’s been home for 2 months now. 🙃 I’m here because I deeply crave to learn and because back in 2020 I learnt just how introverted I am so this is the optimal way for me to connect with a community. I love exploring the archetypes of the Primordial Mother. Last year I invited Nyx into my circle I would love to explore the Primordial Mother archetype further. I also find Catholic Conjure interesting. Lately my rabbit holes have been history, ancient history, anthropology and archaeology.
