It’s so weird being like, “Oh I have to buy this thing to work with this spirit,” and then you realize you don’t have to buy shit, you’re just addicted to a certain aesthetic for your spirit work, which is actually, ironically, more materialistic than anything else. I’m not shaming anyone or myself for the love of spending money and investing in yourself and your practice; I just think the irony is amusing and it’s a good lesson in being cost effective, if one really wants to be, and that you really don’t have to spend money on anything to engage in a spiritual, philosophical, esoteric, or shamanistic practice. Just saying.
Am I still going to support small business and growing businesses that provide tools and resources for these practices? You’re damn right I am.
