As someone who grew up Roman Catholic by very conservative Mexican parents, I've been feeling lost about my faith. I've been feeling like I've been forced, and when I try to explore my spiritual journey on my own, my parents don't understand it. I got drawn into Mexican folk catholicism, and I noticed that it shares similar traits as witchcraft. I also enjoy having crystals as a support for prayers and reading tarot cards to know what I can do to improve myself. I also realized that prayers of particular saints are like spells. Question is: how to explain to my parents that I am a folk Catholic and that I don't know whether I would go back to church again.
