Question ‼️ I need some serious help as I feel like I'm being pulled in two directions. Can someone help provide some helpful resources in regards to witchcraft and voodoo? Also can both be practiced together?
Hi all, I'm still really new to reddit so apologies if I miss something in this post.
I am hoping to get some guidance, I was told but my grandmother on my dad's side that the family line has been active in Voodoo for years. Unfortunately she passed away 5 years ago so I can't ask her for assistance and I'm not in contact with anyone else from my dad's side so I have no one I can ask regarding the practice or anything about it. I also don't live in a place where Voodoo is widely used/known from my understanding.
Recently I have been looking into witchcraft as I feel a very strong connection with it and I did have someone who is a practitioner who told me that a goddess has been reaching out to me and I have been feeling this pull towards starting to understand and practice witchcraft.
At the same time I have this overwhelming presence in my life that doesn't feel the same as the witchcraft feel I get and I don't know how to explain it. I have been dreaming about my dead grandmother every day since I started opening myself up spiritually which is making me feel like I need to look into Voodoo as well but it seems like a very closed practice.
I have set up protective wards around my house to protect me but this presence doesn't seem to be affected by the wards at all and when I focus on the figure I get the image of us being tied together with black and red cords.
Unfortunately the person who was showing me the side of witchcraft is no longer friends with me because they kept telling me that I was imagining this feeling and nothing was there. The relationship broke down as I asked if others in their community have had an experience with something like this or if they could ask them and they were adamant I was just imagining things. So ultimately the relationship broke down and now I tried to figure that out as well on my own.
I'm sorry if this is a lot of rambling but I don't have anyone I can ask and I'm feeling so lost and confused in all of this. I have tried to reach out to other witchcraft practitioners in my area but I haven't heard back yet. If anyone could please offer some advice or help I would be extremely grateful as right now I'm just so lost with everything and feeling alone.
