It's about 9:10 pm here and I just thought I'd ramble on a bit.
I've been doing alot of soul searching lately.
Today, I went and had dinner with my momma...who is now dating a christian guy. It's been almost 2 years since my daddy died and she's moving on. It's not easy to see her with another man after seeing her with my daddy for my entire life.
Anyway...we had a long talk today over dinner. She informed me that I wasn't allowed to bring my Tarot deck around her anymore. That posed alot of questions that I then bombarded her with.
Just a couple weeks ago, she had me do a reading for her, now she doesn't want them in her house. Naturally, I knew why...I was raised a strict Pentacostal kid.
I asked her if she was forbidding them because she truly felt they were evil or if someone ELSE told her they were evil.
Of course, she said it was her own decision...ugh!
I don't begrudge anyone their beliefs...but I just think people should learn to think for themselves instead of letting others choose their paths for them.
I understand though...I was there at one time...I believe everything someone told me....especially if they were in high standing in the church. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Christians...like I said...to each their own. I just hate it that people let other people lay out their life instead of being who they were meant to be.
Ok...I'm off that soapbox now...lol.
As for me, I'm more free in my beliefs now, than I ever was back then.
I still believe in God...but not the way I was raised to believe.
I hope that I didn't bore any of you too badly...lol.
Many Blessings to you all and Merry Meet.
Scarlet
