Hi guys! Is anyone here from a monotheistic religious background that instilled the fear of hell in them from a young age, especially regarding witchcraft? I am highly spiritual and not religious at all, but still can’t shake the fear. I understand religions are all indoctrination systems but the fear still ripples through me. For context, I am from a religious Muslim family, and in Islam the concept of witchcraft and calling on other deities is punishable by eternal torture. It also claims that there is only one god, yet I have experienced the energy of other deities, but that still does not assuage the fear I have. If anyone is or has been in similar shoes I would greatly appreciate any and all advice. Thanks!

Hi guys I’m new to witchcraft, I started less than a month ago. I have done probably 10-15 spells so far and am loving it so much. I have always been intuitive and prophetic and have noticed in my spells that my intuition has been spot on. I have also reached out to goddesses Aphrodite and Lilith and have felt both their energies in my candle work and offerings. My question is, how do I connect to my ancestors and spirit team? Also is it possible to see deities directly through scrying? I would love to incorporate that into my work and other than lighting a candle and scrying in my mirror, don’t know how else to start. Any and all advice in regard to anything is appreciated, thank you so much in advance!
