I grew up being taught about different religions and culturally appropriating their holidays every year, lol. I'm not Judaist but we celebrated Hannukah and I believe we even did Kwanza at some point. I have no clue why we did it but, looking back it has definitely shaped me into not falling into a tunnel-vision perspective. Also, learning about different cultures at a young age I think was some good foresight from my parent!

I actually grew up learning about the seasons and celebrated the solstices. I guess you would call that paganism, but honestly, it makes the most sense in my brain because I have fond memories of actually learning about something that's tangible.

I also have fond memories of my Christian grandma screaming bloody murder when she found our books about celebrating the solstices and calling it witchcraft, good crucible vibes.

I also have a memory of trying an out-of-body meditation from one of the books when I was around 9 and I felt my body begin to sink and I freaked out and never did it again, haha.

Definitely find myself in the agnostic section but I guess I have my spiritual roots due to my upbringing. I also love the occult but mostly for the historical and mythological aspects for art. I also enjoy the symbolism in some of the religious texts like the Ivory Tower.

I mostly just Wikipedia dive and pick up stuff here and there.
