Where did my Woo journey begin?

More than a few moons ago when I was just a teen, my mum gave me a set of iChing sticks and a deck of tarot cards and said, 'Don't tell your dad, but I got you these.'

I didn't have a clue what I was looking at to start with, but I opened the cards and started thumbing through them. Reading the booklet that came with it, if you’ve ever had yourself a deck of Rider Waite tarot, you’ll know it’s more confusing than helpful. However, it gave me the absolute basics of what was to become something that was life-changing – on numerous occasions. But not without throwing in the towel on even more occasions, I’ll be honest.

This thing that got triggered inside of me was confusing as heck. It felt like I was being given a key to some mysterious place in the mind of a madwoman because the images I would receive and the feelings that I started experiencing when in different situations or around different people, didn’t seem ‘normal’. And they were often uncomfortable, to say the least. My mum became ill with cancer and spent a lot of time in hospital or sleeping. We certainly didn’t get lots of mother/daughter conversations started so I didn’t have anyone to turn to, to ask what it was all about and what was happening. It was a rocky start to my spiritual journey, and it didn’t get much easier once I left home. Mum passed and that was that - my link to anyone who had anything remotely spiritual about them, was cut off. So, the cards went away, and I attempted to be ‘normal’ like everyone else.

Of course, you know where I am right now. I’m heading up a business that, from the perspective of many, is a hippie-pebble-loving-weirdo kind of business. So how did I get from the point of doing what was expected of me - working in a respectable, professional career like teaching, nursing, or joining the forces (yep, I went down all of those routes), to running a business that encourages others to embrace their Woo side, just as I have? There are a LOT of twists and turns in that story, and it took over 2 decades to finally find my path and embrace it fully.

Why?
Because I had to seek out the help I needed, which I was not very good at. Then I had to learn from trial and error what didn’t work for me, to get to what did. I spent way too much money doing all of that learning.
But it’s why Woo Woo Guru exists as it does today. Sharing as much as I can possibly share to help others have fewer devastating wrong turns than I did, and to know that they have someone there who will listen to their stories, experiences, worries, and answer as many questions as I’m able. Or at least point them in the direction of someone who has a better answer than I might have.
It’s also why there are just SO many facets to it, because spirituality for me doesn’t just exist in one form. And this is, by far, the biggest lesson I learned from my own journey. You don’t have to feel penned in to one idea or one single belief. I have learned and continue to learn from so many sources. And everything I learn gets channelled into Woo Woo Guru, so that there are more answers I can give if the questions are asked.

What I now know to be true, and what has been told to me in many ways by many different people, including from Spirit, is that when I was told by my mum that I would be a teacher, she wasn’t as wrong as I thought she was. I just didn’t know my subject until I’d lived 25 years of it.
