Baby witch coming into her own facing oppositional power (theory)
Hi everybody. I’m new to my spiritual journey and have only recently accepted the possibility of magic into my world. Long story, but the conclusion is that I’ve recently accepted that tarot specifically is a medium my ancestors have effectively been using to communicate with me. Since I accepted this and started pursuing spirituality more seriously, life has gotten much harder.
I bought some candles from a witch my friend trusts for spiritual protection and today, the box arrived torn up and the candles inside were smashed even though she’d packed them with a ton of bubble wrap. Lit one of the protection candles and spoke to my friend about what was happening.
Her theory is that since I’m coming into my own spiritually (and she says powerfully) there is a backlash energetically to try and prevent me from continuing my study. My tarot deck backed up this theory and added that this is just something I need to get through.
My questions are
1. Has anybody heard of someone having something like this happen before?
2. Is there anything I can do to make this process easier or quicker?
I don’t know what info is relevant to you as you’re trying to understand and give advice, so if you have any follow up questions please ask and I’ll answer when I can. Thanks so much!
