Noticing big push towards astrology, spirituality among woman.
I am noticing a huge surge in interest of spirituality, astrology, tarot etc among woman since the pandemic. It seems like an obvious way to cope with the collective trauma that happened those 5 years ago. I adore astrology, and I consider myself very open minded — but I get almost scared hearing other young woman talk about those spiritual concepts. Things like “deconstruction” “duality” “energy” “dharma” etc.
I think I worry that women are deluding themselves. It almost seems more useful to me to think that things just are whatever they are. Trying to peek behind some kind of veil seems like a slippery slope.
ETA: wow, awesome posts in the thread. To be clear my position is just pushing for more rigorous thinking, not abandoning these spiritual concepts altogether, e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskWomenOver30/s/NeZByZS3c5
