I save my palo santo char to mix with sea salt to make it

@Ashley Jasper Styles I make it as I need to usually once or twice a year

These are some. Currently, I’m focused more on stained class than I am epoxy resin work. And I have a small shop that I do auction rock and minerals on Whatnot.

@Donna Conrad thank you 😊

I’m from the Ozark mountains of southern Missouri. I first was introduced to metaphysics in my teenage years by my mom. I carved my path from there. Stayed in mainstream religion for a while, but not for me. I am more gnostic or neogenian, a whole lot witchy, and always learning more.

@Donna Conrad well I don’t know enough about it yet either to really put it into good words. There’s a guy you can watch on YouTube called Morgue. He breaks down all religious information and looks at everything from the gnostics, and the early Babylonians, and everything in between. He reads all of the books that were destroyed or hidden, and what’s left of them and liens heavy heavy into gnostic teachings. Basically neogenian is someone who finds a little bit of truth in everything and critically examines everything. For instance, I do not believe in the Hebrew God, I believe the God of the Hebrews is a lesser deity who is removed from source. I believe Christ was a great teacher, connected directly to source, like so many other teachers from other religions have been. I don’t believe that I need to pray to the Hebrew God at all, it does no good, keeps you vibrating in a place of lack and removal from source. Basically, I read the red words in the Bible and that’s it. And I critically examine absolutely everything. So I just do what feels right and sacred to me, and it makes me feel most connected to source, more in control of my own reality, and at peace. Neogenian is less a religion and more an understanding. I didn’t drink any Kool-Aid. I just studied what was there to be read by all of us, instead of hidden, as it has been. It’s very new I mean, the lost books have only been found since the 1940s so there’s still a lot to unpack.

I feel most connected to my Scottish ancestors when it comes to ritual and deities. Although I must say I do not typically enjoy working with deities, I believe that that puts an intercessor between you and source and it’s unnecessary, though I suppose their influence is beneficial sometimes.
