How do I select a path???

So you've decided to make a life change. Maybe you have always
known about the occult and you're just getting into it in
earnest. Maybe you were raised religious or agnostic or atheist
and you're curious.
Selecting a path is a VERY personal choice. Each of us has a
unique set of circumstances and set plan for learning in each
incarnation.
When you are leaving something old for something new, you are
going to be faced with fears. Sometimes these fears are at the
source of other people in your life. Religious family members,
partners who don't have the same belief system as you do. Trying
something new without much information. All of these can seem
very overwhelming in the beginning, and so confusing that you
may very well stumble and fall.
It is important not to rush, because entering into the occult,
and taking up changes involving the gods is life changing...VERY
life changing. It's good to ease into it. Some people jump in
feet first...right into the fire. And boy, do they get burned!
Yes, sometimes you learn with trial by fire...but that's not
always necessary. I reckon if that's your tack, we do have the
Panic Button Category for such situations when you've gotten
yourself into a pickle. I understand that sometimes excitement
and forging forward is hard to forego.

When going at an even pace, it is good to first...know who you
are as a person. Sometimes the gods can help you figure that
out, but knowing who you are, doing your shadow-work (inner
healing) and sorting things out mentally/emotionally are very
good foundations to start with.
Meditation is extremely key.
Next is having goals. Without solid goals and a timeline of how
long you want to work on achieving those goals will leave you
kind of hanging out there.
Research, research, research. Research what gods have aspects
that would most help you meet those goals long term.
Establishing relationships with the gods is the next thing.
Again, people want to immediately invoke and ask for favors.
It's VERY beneficial to form a bond, a relationship with any god
first. Evoke to do a personal introduction...like you would if
you were meeting an important person for the first time. They
find this refreshing and appreciate the personal depth and
intention behind it.
Asking that god to unlock the aspects of your mind that they
represent. There is a section for that. The gods can reach into
your mind/body and unlock locked abilities....but you have to
ask...and they have to be willing to do it.
Just remember, with any god, they're going to give you what you
NEED and not necessarily what you want if you're doing life-path
and improving work.

Quote from a message to me:
"I’ve always bounce back and forth with spirituality trying to
figure out where I belong and how exactly it all fits together.
I feel like I’ve gotten pieces before but the past six months
has been a dramatic shift for me and I guess some of my
foundations with having Christian parents is just getting to me
a bit. Part of my mind keeps telling me that I’m going to be
betrayed and hurt, but that’s probably just some Pentecostal
Spirit screaming at me or something. I like where I am but I do
have to tell my mind to shut the f****** in fall in line a lot"
Here we see a situation where someone is in a Christian family.
When you have a Christian family, you have a choice...a bit
choice. You either tell them (confrontation
guaranteed...probably) or you hide your practices. In the old
days, you'd get burned, so that was an obvious choice. In this
age, we have more freedom than ever before since before
Christianity became a thing. Now you can go your own way. Even
so, that can come at a very heavy price. My family sang, "Happy
Birthday to Jesus" at our Christmas gathering. I swapped Jesus
with Horus and my narcissist mother gave me the death glare and
my nieces/nephews were mouths dropped in disbelief that I'd
disrespected the religious matriarchs song. I shrugged and said,
"truth...." I got a mini-lecture and I was the bad guy for the
rest of the day. It was awkward anyway so no big loss.
Point is, this is YOUR path, and you have a right to choose it
and walk it. It's very hard to assert yourself in a family
situation if you are not confident in your chosen path. So the
thing you need to do is establish WHAT your path is, walk it,
learn it, love it...then assert it if you're going to come out
in the open with it.
