I just stumbled upon this community, and I am quite impressed. I will hopefully keep reading and learn what I can from you all.
I have been Pagan for 7 years, focusing on Celtic history. Beforehand I spent 3 years searching for the right niche after I found being Catholic gave me none of the spiritual strength that I needed.
Ever since I started college, my faith was put aside for the extreme work load of studying architecture. Although I still believed, and expressed my beliefs in conversations, as well as advancing my ideas, I was not at all immersed in faith, and thusly never received any of its benefits.
After 4 years of this, my mental health plummeted. I was having a conversation with my boyfriend of my mental health, and he asked me, "You had become like this before. How did you recover from that?" "I found faith," I said. We then climbed out of the car and before us was quite an interesting shop that I felt compelled to enter.
The shop is not only devoted for Paganism, but is managed by a very sociable man. I told him my story, and he said, "We here believe there are no coincidences."
Since that time we have had several wonderful conversations, and the manager has also helped unlock a door for my boyfriend as well.
And now here we are. I found a beautiful amber bracelet in that very store and searched online for information about amber, causing me to stumble upon this site.
So, is there no such thing as coincidences?
