Anyone else suffer extreme religious judgment from the people who are supposed to be closest to them?
For years, I’ve had my beliefs, my work, and even my character condemned by someone who should have known me better than anyone else.. my own mum. Prior to her religious awakening it was always something else to try to strip away at my character or life choices, these religious beliefs just fuel it all to new self righteous intensity.
The hardest part hasn’t been that we believe different things. People can have different faiths and still love each other deeply. And of course I have tried to express this with love and respect only for my words to hit a wall.
The hardest part has been the constant message that I’m deceived, wrong, dangerous, or somehow less worthy because my spiritual path doesn’t look like hers. If your spiritual beliefs create divide and separation or sense of us against them, I’d be questioning that deeply. One of the things I’ve struggled with when it comes to this type of religious judgment of tarot and oracle cards is.. how can anyone think that messages of love, compassion, forgiveness, self respect and encouragement be coming from something evil it will never make sense, the impact of this work leaves people inspired and believing in themselves.
Imagine choosing judgment over curiosity.
Choosing condemnation over conversation.
Choosing being “right” over having a relationship.
My work has helped thousands of people over the years. Whether someone believes in tarot or not is entirely their choice, and I respect that. I have never tried to take anyone’s faith away or tell them they’re wrong for believing what they do. I’m not sharing this for sympathy I’m normally extremely private with things like this, just brush it aside and keep doing good things don’t let it steal you light, but today I feel compelled to be open and share this because I know I’m not alone and this type of behaviour can be incredibly isolating and hurtful to the heart.
If you’ve ever been made to feel like you are wrong, dangerous or evil because your spirituality, beliefs, or life path differ from your family’s, I want you to know you’re not alone.
You don’t have to earn love by abandoning who you are. You don’t have to defend your worth to people who have already decided not to see it.
It’s okay to set boundaries.
It’s okay to protect your peace.
And it’s okay to grieve the relationship you wish you could have had while still choosing yourself.
If this resonates with you, know that I see you. ❤️
