Ritual to Indoctrination ~Growing up in Catholic Ireland
About this episode
Hazel shares her experiences growing up in Catholic Ireland, exploring the impact of religious rituals and indoctrination on identity.
Dia Duit agus fáilte mo charas , Hello & welcome beautiful Witches Souls me ol Flowers 🌹 grab a cup of tea and join me at the Hearth ☕ ***A gentle disclaimer***this episode touches on religious experiences and may bring up things for those with religious trauma. Please take your time with it and only receive what feels safe for you 🖤 In this Temple Library entry, I’m sharing my experience of growing up in Catholic Ireland and the deeper layers behind what was seen as “normal” at the time. This isn’t just about religion it’s about ritual, structure, and the ways identity is shaped from a young age through repetition, symbolism, and expectation. I speak on baptism, communion, and confirmation, and how these rites of passage form part of a wider system of indoctrination from symbolic imprints to emotional reinforcement and material reward. If you grew up with this, you may recognise parts of your own story. And if you didn’t, this offers a deeper insight into the cultural and spiritual conditioning that shaped so many of us. This is a space for reflection, awareness, and reclaiming your own path. Blessings Slán go fóill Hazel #religiousindoctrination #catholicireland…
