The intention behind the theme of the ‘Karmic Chronicles’ is to connect on a more direct personal level rather than lead with something unrelatable, dry, and without personality. I would much rather be open to the person I am and be faithful to her. I connect with others better when they can just be themselves and continue to be the best version of themselves they can be.
No one is perfect, and everyone’s life is as perfect as they make it to be. Everyone has different beliefs, understandings, and ways of living, and that’s why I’m here. Expression of great gratitude for the woman I grew to be and to share in hopes of inspiring others to journey through their lives instead of being mundane. Not that mundane is a negative, but mundane as-in not living your life to the fullest in the ways you “wish” you could.
Finding things that soothe your soul makes life worth living; no matter your past, mistakes, and failures. Finding beauty in nature, the universe, and this lifetime gives me that drive to make the best of it (even though the struggle is certainly real sometimes!)
I am not one of those spiritual gurus who preach and sell ideas just for the mere aspect of cashing in. I am introverted with a great declaration on my life’s journey and my work. So let it be herbalism, crystals, spells, divinations, following the moon’s cycle; I enjoy every little bit of it because that is who I am and that is my calling.
Everything always happens for a reason and karmic virtues are often disregarded.
Nothing is "wrong" here, just a way of life that some might get, and some just don't but that's okay! Even if you think you're doing anything and everything wrong
The Beginning
Life and the universe can knock you down at times, and hell, it can even keep knocking you down before the realization hits you have already been knocked down. That was me practically my entire life. I’ve always been different, quiet, weird, etc. The classic bully tale was a part of my life as I was growing and learning to understand life. Homelife and school life just weren’t the best for me which inevitably put me into psychological trauma that took me years and years to mentally mend (and still am today), but I can certainly say that I am much better now mentally and spiritually.
What solely helped me was the path I chose to travel, this one.
It seems to me that I was lost at a point in my life that lasted years; I felt stuck, saddened, angry, depressed, the list goes on. My choice of coping methods included alcohol dependency which washed away many years from me. Just that situation that plagued me for years life my lifetime unable to grow, learn, and be the person I actually wanted to be.
I never enjoyed life like how I should have in the first place, but that’s okay because now I do. I let my depression and anxiety consume me for the majority of my life and I never really understood or just didn’t care what I was actually going through. I thought that it was “it” of my life and I would just continue to live a life of depression and anxiety. With that put into perspective, I grew to love the last of the bottle a little too much. As alcoholism runs in my family; I “knew” that it was destined to be my life. I let my addiction and poor mental health cascade me as my actual being and what I perceived myself to be in this lifetime.
Even though mistakes have happened, and bad decisions have been made; it never meant my life was over. As for you, reader, it is just the same. It is just beginning.
Sowing
Unbeknownst to me, throughout the years of barely hanging on by a vine, I sowed seeds unknowingly.
Every single thing that has happened throughout my lifetime thus far has happened for a reason. Now that I have gotten over such hurdles and hardships I can look back and map out why things in my life have happened and why they haven’t happened. Once I decided I needed to devout myself and my time was way better than observing the bottom of bottles; I became more trusting in life’s experiences. Whether it be bad or good. Positive or negative.
First I started with meditations and guided hypnosis I would listen to from YouTube. It was constant mental health therapy advice to meditate, I said screw it and tried. After that, I felt amazing and that was it, I was enamored and I began to look a little deeper into the spiritual aspects of my life; reading, researching, and practicing.
That’s when I began watching for full moons. Deep diving into the spiritual and structural integrity of the moon and I was quite honestly hooked. I mapped out to working with the moon, thus Paganism and Wicca were born. (In my life) It certainly took some work and a lot of researching, reading, and meditating to find what my path was, and what my purpose on this Earth is.
Then, I needed something personal that would soothe my soul and calm me into a completely calm and easygoing person and something I could do every day for the rest of my life. Something that will keep me occupied with my mind and body that will let me exist whilst being in a meditative state…. and I found it!
It all started with my mere interest in the sage plant as its physical properties and spiritual properties intrigued me. (Among the many hours of research, herbalism was also on that list.) Herbalism intrigued me so I began to sow literal seeds and experienced its growth cycle.
Existing
Everything my life has had to offer thus far brings me to the present, the now. How I deciphered my path and continue to follow and work hard at my life’s purpose brings me to this very moment, where I have grand plans and aspirations to work with something I love and to commit to a rather interesting existence. The biggest dream in my life, the one thing I want in my entire lifetime is to own my little metaphysical boutique, grow herbs, and share products I have handcrafted with my heart and soul. I want to have a simple life connecting myself to nature and the universe as much as possible.
Learning every day is something I have been growing very fond of and that’s one of the many reasons why I enjoy this path so much. You learn new things, you learn what works for you and you just go for it. There are many concepts thatcan be tied to any spiritual path and if there is something you didn’t know before, hopefully, I can bestow a little knowledge. A lot of it has come from trial and error, experiences, and continuing to move forward.
As I mentioned before; I enjoy writing very much and have never been fond of making videos. I tried it; it was fun at the time, but it just wasn’t for me. I write and share pictures the most because I believe many humans are no longer sitting and reading. Paying attention to a topic of conversation as opposed to scrolling through videos. (I will not lie, I do scroll through videos at times, but I read more!) I’m not saying I will never post videos but it will not be a constant thing. A walk through my garden perhaps, or a little snippet of adventuring through the woods. Who knows what life presents to you?
Finding who I truly am was a lot of work, time, and effort, and I had many bad experiences as well as many good ones. Itwas still a journey that made me who I am today, in the present, and the now. Finding a strong belief system to me was an absolute necessity in beginning the journey we call life.
Closing
As certain things may not resonate with others and it undoubtedly does resonate with some, you may take my words with a grain of salt. Nothing is wrong in the path of spirituality because every single person has an individual identity, personality, and belief system. What works for you, and what suits you may help you throughout your experience here on earth. I want everyone to be able to live their lives to the fullest, be happy, be humble, and be at peace. It is easier read and said than done because life is not easy. Painful at times. Never lose any kind of hope, just keep pushing forward until you can breathe easy and smile at the sun and moon. Every single thing happens for a reason and I will never stay silent about that!
As you follow the Karmic Misfit (if you do) it’ll all be a life’s journey. Something to give even if it’s just a small blog and a random person expressing life on spiritual aspects and some homesteading.
I wholeheartedly am grateful for those who stop to read and enjoy it.
Follow your path where you want to be, not by anyone telling you where to go. Live wholeheartedly and free!
Blessed be!
