This is a Crusader moth (Clymene moth to be exact). This appeared on my porch the other day. I have lived here 15 years and have never seen one before, I had to google it to see what it was. Love the cross on it's back. This made me think it may be time for me to share my testimony.
I grew up surrounded by new age before it was a thing. My wonderful, magical mother was an astrologer, did kundalini yoga, went on retreats to learn astral projection, sought out psychics, was very psychic and a medium herself. So it was normal to me. (she later denounced all practices later in life and embraced Jesus). We also went to church off and on, I wasn't baptised catholic until age 16, but remember being in awe of the Church, the mass said in Latin, the first thing I ever wanted to be was a nun. As I grew older, I added holistic healing modalities, learned about chakras, studied reiki, palm reading, law of attraction, but still loved the Lord and honored Mary and the saints.
In June of 2020 I started reading a book on some new age practice, right in the middle of reading another one such book. I had an instant realization that the new age was lies, nonsense, deception. It was an endless, unquenchable thirst for knowledge that only brought me anxiety. I started to read the Bible and immediately felt more peace than I ever felt in my life. I also felt no need whatsoever for anything else, no other knowledge. I tossed out all new age books and started attending mass.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer the following month. God did not give me this for punishment (as I was convinced for a very long time), He allowed it. Except for my illumination of conscience concerning new age, I would have done a deep dive into it to heal myself and would be lost forever. Instead, I constantly told myself "God's will be done". (my cancer journey will be a future post)
I believe so many people seek out new age modalities for healing. Jesus is the only true healer. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
ps youtube has many great testimonies of new age to Jesus, well worth a look. this one is excellent. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YovfatEF8A4&list=LL&index=4
