how do i get over my fear of spirits so i can explore witchcraft?
now, i’m no witch, but i’ve been reading into witchcraft a lot lately and trying to explore spirituality in general. the problem is i’m terrified of spirits. it doesn’t help that whenever i go to bed and turn off the lights, i immediately feel watched. this has been going on for forever, even before i got interested in witchcraft. idk if it’s just anxiety or if there’s something there. should i just steer clear of witchcraft? i’d rather ignore the spirits of this world and live in bliss than discover something i’d rather not know. also, i’m more afraid of seeing actual figures and encountering evil spirits than just curious ones.
for the longest time, i’ve been agonistic, telling myself this and that isn’t real, but the more i read into spirits and that type of thing, the more afraid i get. my fears really stopping me from exploring the universe.
i also worry spirits would target me because there are no deities i truly believe in. they don’t feel real to me, i more so worship the universe itself, but i’m scared that means there’ll be no one to protect me.
what should i do? is anybody else struggling with this or am i just too frightened? 😅
