material destiny?

[whiporwill-o]

do you believe that the right items wait for you?

example: i was on the hunt for the perfect magickal journal/grimoire/book of shadows, whatever you want to call it and i found it at books-a-million. cherry wood covers and leather spine, line pages; it was perfect, but a bit out of my budget at the time. a few months passed and i had all but forgotten about it until i was in ther again and just felt the urge to look through the journals again and it was still there. it was the last one and the price tag was missing, all i could remember was that it was a fairly expensive book, but it was the last one so i decided i could part with the money. i took it to the counter and asked how much it was, but no one, not even the manager on duty, could find it in the system. they looked for about 15 minutes before the manager said, "well, alll i ca do is ring it up as a standard 5x8 journal... which costs $5." i was so excited and felt that it just had to be fate.

have you ever had this happen to you? if so, share your story. i think it's great that little things like this can make such a huge impact on us.

I wouldn't really call it "destiny" or anything, but I do believe that the right items come to you, yeah.

I can't actually think of any examples xd But yeah.

Actually, I believe that your tools choose you, not the other way around. Be it a journal or a pendant or what have you. If something feels right to you, you'll know it.

As for me, my first hint at this was with the Pentacle I currently wear around my neck. I had seen it in a catalog, and it caught my eye above all others. It was a friends catalog I was looking through, so when I was done I didn't think anything of it. About a month later I went to the mall, and went into Spencers. Low and behold, there was my pendant, in all it's Sterling Silver presence. I immediately bought it and only take it off now when I go swimming. (chlorine = bad) And what's more, it's silver. Yet it never tarnishes. I do nothing special to it. I was so happy when I found it. And like your journal, it was the only one in the store.

Spencers of all places. Whoda thunk?

Yeah, I believe your tools do have some choice in whether or not you obtain or use them. My mother was "away", in a simpler sense, and left me her credit card to get whatever I needed [I mean, I had food it was just for when we ran out]. So the last night before she was supposed to come home a friend took me to Barnes & Noble, and I just HAD to get the Tarot set they had on sale (I mean, I hadn't used it for anything else yet!). Not only was it cheaper than the Irish Gaelic book I wanted, it turned out to be more useful [since that book was level 2 and I'm level 1!]. The deck has been very cooperative and insightful, being that I'm a beginner, and has earned a spot amongst my most treasured possessions.

Now if only the stuff from Pyramid Collection would lower their prices... XD

no kidding xd  

[Violet Song jat Shariff]

Yup; I definitely believe that if you're meant to have something, it'll find its way to you/you'll find your way to it.

That's how I got my first Tarot deck. Well, that how I think it worked, anyways xd  

[Tari_Leralonde]

Yeah, I definitly think that you're naturally drawn to certain materialistic objects, and if it's drawn to you as well, no matter how expensive it is or who it belongs to, it will find some way to get to you.

actually the reson why it doesn't tarnish is because it's probably sterling silver. most silver jewelry items are 3nodding but thats awesome that you found it.

I'm falling even more in love with you, letting go all I've held onto...

I believe in coincidences and that there is a fate that leads to you to a certain point in your search for something, but I don't really think about it any further than that.

...I'm standing here until you make me move, I'm hanging by a moment here with you.

isn't 'fate' and 'destiny' about the same thing?

Yes, or so I believe. I was using them synonymously. I use the term 'fate' more often than 'destiny' for some reason.
