From the Mystic's Vault: Coming Out of the Metaphysical Closet

I'm ready to tell my story. I hope you can accept me for who I am.

*This story was first written and published in July 2023, but it feels even more relevant today. It’s about the moment I stopped hiding and fully embraced the path I was born to walk…*

After 33 years of suffering in silence, I am ready to share my coming out of the metaphysical closet story.

It all began when I was 5 years old. Born a late September baby, I knew at this young age that I was a Libra. I'm not sure how I knew this. I don't know if my mother told me or if I had come across the daily horoscope but from the moment I knew, I checked to see how many stars I had for the day, every day.

And then at 9, I heard Karen Andrea Hale on WZAK 93.1 FM reading weekly horoscopes. If we wanted to hear more, then we'd have to call the Zak line—which I did religiously every Sunday evening. I didn't know if the horoscopes really had any bearing on my curious, little life or not, but I was interested in knowing everything I could know about the unknown.
