I'll never forgive popular culture for focusing on Oedipus due to Freud being a weirdo and not like, his daughter Antigone who defied her king's order in order to honour her dead brother and give him a proper burial, resulting in the king ordering her to be buried alive.
Like I'm sorry, but my culture isn't just about fruits having gay sex (which is valid), but also one of the first unintentionally feminist texts in literature

like father like daughter
#She goes after him and her brothers#She is the one who ends the family curse#& Ismene's legacy shall be of the one who survived#Not unscathed... but alive.

“…Hekate, with a torch in her hands, met Demeter, and spoke to her and told her news: ‘Queenly Demeter, bringer of seasons and giver of good gifts, what god of heaven or what mortal man has rapt away Persephone and pierced with sorrow your dear heart? For I heard her voice, yet saw not with my eyes who it was. But I tell you truly and shortly all I know.’
So, then, said Hekate. And the daughter of rich-haired Rhea answered her not, but sped swiftly with her, holding flaming torches in her hands.”
-Homeric Hymn to Demeter

I don’t know who needs to hear this but having doubts about your practice is totally normal and actually beneficial.
Questioning everything is intelligence.
