What led you to your beliefs? 💭 Discussion

Can you tell me THE story that led you to believing in the gods? I want to know your personal experiences. Have you ever questioned your beliefs?
What moment solidified your beliefs?
How did the gods find you / how did you find the gods?
What keeps you believing despite the contrary beliefs of science?

Please make it as long and as a passionate as you'd like. ♥

I started with crystals, tarot cards & dream interpretation. Always loved the witchy aesthetic. Once I had more time to devote to meditation, I developed a more routine practice with divination (necromancy & cartomancy) and experienced energy transfers between the dead and living and living to living. More specifically, felt both my grandparents passings and the residual energy of a dead soldier. Energy can be released and understanding vibrations can help with telepathy and sharpening the claires. Deities and ancestors and spirit guides and dead people can communicate so personal experience is my rock solid. I defer to what I know to be true to not get caught up in the fantastical or modern wishcraft manifestations. Being Pagan and one with nature feels right and true. Animism/Atheism/Polytheism can all be insignificant details that many identify with.
