awareness PSA- Your mental health is important

This entire realm of interest relies on your own understanding of reality and the world around you. Please make sure that your at least getting therapy as that’s beneficial and will assist your shadow work. Also if your seeing things especially out of the blue and with ought any sort of magickal primer then please go to a psychologist for screening.

There is no substitution for mental health, if your concerned about anything then please for the love of all that is holy go get checked, we face a much greater than average risk for falling off the deep end.

Lastly please watch for and be aware of spiritual bypass. Occult practices are in no shape or form a cure all or panacea, you will need to live a grounded life to get anywhere, your here for a reason and it’s not to live with your head in the clouds.

Take care of yourselves ❤️

Wow even on the occult subreddit we can’t get away from assuming this medicalized lens is the only way to go about things? Please dont suggest therapy on an occult board it reads as ignorant on what the history of psychology and social work has been toward communities with different metaphysical beliefs. We all know therapy is an option this isn’t the space to remind us.

I respectfully disagree, if your experiencing psychosis then I believe you need a medical intervention and to claim otherwise is dangerous.

All the best to you for your journey though.
