Yeah i can relate. My spirituality has evolved throughout my therapy and I now identify as pagan. Was raised protestant/christian but it always seemed so hypocritical in real life anyway, i was accepted but only "if" i acted "good enough" so i acted so much, i never learned who i really was until starting therapy w current t! My animist friends accept me for exactly who i am warts and all and it is so wonderful not having to "act" with them. I've always felt that being out in nature was a more spiritual experience than being in a church. I have a small altar in my bedroom with a shell and sage, feathers, some crystals, and my drum is hanging on the wall behind it. Oh and i have a singing bowl too.
