In the original version of this post, I presented Baphomet as a spiritual guide for people going through change. I shared a Tarot spread and described keeping an image or statue of Baphomet on an altar as a spiritual practice. I withdraw that advice. I’m grateful to God for giving me the grace to look again at what I wrote and to say plainly that I was wrong to encourage it.
The wisdom I was looking for
If you came here looking for help through a change in your life, I understand the longing for guidance. Earlier this year, I looked back at what I’d been writing and realised how much I needed wisdom. That was hard to admit after years of writing about spiritual things. So I asked God for wisdom.
The first time I prayed the Seven Sorrows Rosary, I cried. As I kept praying, I began to see where my longing to be close to Mary was taking me. I wanted to belong to her Son. I found myself wanting to read Scripture and worship with other Christians again. I thank God for hearing my prayer and drawing me back to Jesus.
Asking God for wisdom
James 1:5 invites those of us who lack wisdom to ask God, who gives generously and without reproach. I keep coming back to that last part. I can tell Him where I’m confused and ask for help, even when it’s uncomfortable to admit how much I need it.
If you’re looking for guidance today, you can ask Him for wisdom in your own words. I’ve written more about what that prayer set in motion for me in Come to Me, All You Who Are Weary.
