I've been working with her for only a month, but I've felt her presence during many prayers and a couple rituals. I felt her energy the most though, not in a elaborate ritual, but in my rawest prayer, when I admitted to desires I didn't even know I had.

When I was researching about her, I've heard many people say that you should approach her with honesty, and I thought it would be easy, because why would I want to deceive her?

But now I think being truthful also means not lying to myself. Letting what I believe is true about myself behind while praying, and say just what feels right in the moment.

I'm pretty sure I'm intj, but you know, I gotta have my monthly identity crisis.

One of the main things that get me questioning whether I'm actually intj is that most people describe it as being "narrow-minded" and "stubborn" but being a "big picture thinker" and seeing the "big scheme of things" at the same time. These are literally the opposite.

Now, I see two explanations for it:

First is that being narrow-minded refers to future goals, and an intj would not change their path or have difficulties considering different outcomes. And that doesn't apply much to how we perceive things in real time. This is the explanation I think most people are used to. But I guess then that means that Ni is a bit like Ne, because to have a broad understanding about the world, you need to consider different perspectives.

And the second explanation is that since Ni is a introverted function, it refers to having a holistic view about your own mind and thoughts. Like, not thinking about anything in especific, or flowing from one thought to the other without forcing a conclusion. And being narrow-minded refers to inferior Se, where we try to narrow down external stimuli, and focus on specific tasks/things, as opposed to Ne, experiencing the outside world in a broad scope. (But this kinda go against some definitions of Se)

Anyways, I think the mbti typing system is a bit flawed, but a great model overall, so I wanted to understand it. Of course you cannot simplify everyone into only 16 labels.

I also know intjs have a lot more contradictions, like being logical and emotional at the same time, but I wanted to hear what other people have to say about this one.

[for context I'm follow mostly the hellenic pantheon, but this also apply to others]

Posts I see very often in this and othee subreddits is something like "Is this offering/altar/devotional act enough? I wanted to do something better but I can't due to X conditions" and all the replies go "Yes, it is enough. They are understanding about your conditions and what matters is your intention."

I love it because by that logic, people don't need to put much effort into their prayers/offerings/etc. Coming from a christian household, things were always demanded from me. "If you forget to pray before eating/bed, God will be sad" or "All things you do should be according to his will. Everything you have should be his."

But even though we don't believe the gods are extremely demanding, we WANT to give more. Not because it's an obligation, but because we LOVE them.

Does anyone else feels the same way?

I've been studying and reading tarot for about 4 years, but I'm not super confident in my intuition and skills, so I want to practice it! HOWEVER I'm no expert, I don't want to scam anyone.

Please, no financial or health advice requests.

I work best with spiritual growth/self improvement kind of readings, but I'm also accepting other types of questions.
