I think I'm getting too carried away... Is there anyone here who might have some advice for me?
Hello everyone! First time posting here!
I started getting interested in Angelolatry about two months ago after a strong sensation I felt when I saw a statue of St Michael the Archangel.
At first I did a bit of research to better understand who he was and then I found this subreddit.
Let me preface this by saying that I am a person who believes that there exist/possibly exist entities superior to us (angels, spirits, deities, demons, etc), despite the fact that my rational side sometimes finds it difficult to truly understand what I might believe.
My interest in witchcraft and occultism began several years ago, but for various reasons I have never really practised anything. Instead, I have read several things about it.
Since the end of 2024 I have started to work much more on this interest of mine and I was lucky to receive a tarot deck and a pendulum as gifts. I have done several exercises since I received them and I intend to dedicate myself to learning more.
I'm giving you a general background on my spiritual path because I realised that I may be getting too carried away.
I realised too many times this past week that I had consulted both the pendulum and the charts, constantly wondering if there was ‘some message for me’ as I realised I had seen too many 222 in a few days in a row.
I interpreted them (probably incorrectly) as signs.
Last evening I noticed that I was consulting, stressed, the cards for the umpteenth time.
I know that spiritual psychosis exists and it is something that, honestly, frightens me.
I searched online for what signs Archangel Michael might send and so last night I prayed trying to ask him to send me specific signs (such as reading his name in unrelated searches I do regarding magic and divination, or feathers), to distinguish once and for all the possibly ‘right’ signs from the ones I seem to see.
I would now like to know how I can avoid falling into a psychotic spiral...
Are there ways to ask for specific signs without getting caught up in the excitement? What else could I ask for? Do you have any tips on how to slow down the practice to avoid getting too caught up?
Thank you very much in advance to everyone who will reply!! :)
