>is there any "women" writer worth reading
Yes absolutely. St Teresa of Avila for starters.

Every anon on /lil/ should read St Teresa

Live the mystics' life, instead.

In 2017 I had a series of strange experiences, some of which were directly related to my faith (I'm a practicing Catholic). I am pretty sure God spoke to me in a dream, for starters. Additionally, once I went to Confession, and when I was kneeling in the very dark and silent church I heard bells ring. I also had a very strange encounter with a statue of Saint Jude, patron of the desperate. I passed it and it seemed very large, and then when I passed it again it had shrunk to a very small size, and when I passed the space where it had been a third time, it was gone.

Nothing like these things happened to me before or since. It was, again, very strange. I have a very active imagination and am generally able to project images with my mind's eye. But these definitely weren't me actively imagining things, they happened entirely of their own volition.

Good thread. More people should read The Interior Castle.
