How the mythology of starseeds, indigo children, crystal children, rainbow children, etc. harms kids

Something I didn't talk about in my last post is how New Age is often harmful to young children, so I'm going to talk about it here.

Here's a quick rundown on terminology for anyone who doesn't already know:

Starseed: An alien soul incarnated in a human body, typically for the purpose of "raising the Earth's vibrational frequency" (read: convert people to New Age beliefs).

Indigo/Crystal/Rainbow Child: A child born with a spiritually advanced soul, whose life purpose is to bring the New Age into being.

If you do a quick websearch on any of these terms, you'll find that the alleged signs of being one of these overlaps with traits associated with autism and ADHD. Many websites will just straight-out say that these children are commonly mistaken for having autism or ADHD. Sometimes you'll find people who claim autism and ADHD don't actually exist at all, but were created by the conspiracy to control and suppress these kids.

What often happens is that New Age parents see their autistic and ADHD children displaying these "signs," and decide that their kids are one of these special souls. So rather than giving their children the help and support they actually need, they project and burden them with incredibly high expectations. We're talking about parents expecting their kids to be able to work miracles or have access to all of this incredibly advanced wisdom that they simply just don't.

Various people I've seen on this website who were raised by New Age parents have spoken about how this kind of thing messed them up. They basically have religious trauma from it. Deciding that your kid has special powers and a special purpose because they meet a very spurious criteria is not okay.

When I was a kid, I absolutely would have fit most definitions of a starseed. I believed in magic, fairies, aliens, and psychic powers. Sci-fi and fantasy was my jam. I loved to draw and play elaborate games of pretend. The idea of helping and healing people appealed to me majorly. And, well, I had undiagnosed autism and ADHD.

But you know what I didn't have?

The kind of special spiritual gifts and innate wisdom people associate with starseeds and the rest.

In fact, as far as I could tell, everyone around me seemed to be more psychically and spiritually gifted than me, for no reason I could ever work out. It was actually kind of traumatizing, because I felt like something was wrong with me.

So yeah, deciding a kid must be some special, extra-magical kind of soul because they have certain characteristics and interests is really not good. Parents who do this are essentially forcing their own egos onto their children, who will very likely end up traumatized from the whole ordeal.

I'm not sure if you've discussed this in the past (if so, just direct me to whatever tags it might be on your blog), but what exactly is this whole "starseed child" phenomenon? My dad and other family members have fallen into it, and it doesn't sound like anything good. And he couldn't explain it very well to me lol

BTW love your blog!! ❤️‍🔥

So it's a lot to go through, but the short version is that "Starseed" and "Indigo Child" are terms for the New Age idea that autistic people are actually alien human hybrids with magical super powers.

It's incredibly fucked up.

Was reading about indigo children yesterday (researching for an essay on new age scams) and I realized that the idea was popularized in the late 1990s and early 2000s, which means the kids whose parents labeled them "indigo children" are probably in their 20s and 30s now. And I'm soooooo curious about how that affected them.

So: Do I have any followers whose parents labeled them an "indigo child" growing up? If so, I'd love to know how that label affected your identity and self-esteem growing up. And if you were diagnosed with some form of neurodivergence later.

Channeled Love readings:

Pile 1 ❤️‍🔥 | Pile 2 💚

Pile 3 💞 | Pile 4 💜

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pile 1 ❤️‍🔥:

Apprehensive at first to this relationship (whether new, established, or haven't me yet). You both will figure things out with time. I'm getting that both of you have been hurt by people from your past. Y'all just want someone to share the love and you want it reciprocated. Some of Y'all could've been drawn to Pile 2/vice versa (Pile 2 has a different vibe to it though emotion-wise atleast). This will be a slow but tender love full of explorations, learning, & new experiences. Whether or not it works out depends on your willingness to open yourself up to love & reciprocate w/out fear or projections onto the other. I'm hearing clear communication and openness will guide you along in this relationship. Both of you are meant to learn one another and do it together. This is truly a couple that thrives around one another if done right. Big Powe couple/supportive couple vibes. If all goes well, this could be the healthiest relationship in your life tbh~

Channeled Songs:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ouuuuuuu- This is a new kind of love~ I'm getting teenager kind of love/honeymoon phase. These aren't minor descriptions, I feel as if this will be your whole relationship. Now this doesn't mean that your relationship is the honeymoon phase & that's it, absolutely not! Dismiss that thought right now! What it truly means is that you will find & create a love so strong & pure that you will feel like you're in the honeymoon phase at all times. Thinking about one another, getting gifts for each other, staring st one another from across the room. I'm hearing gushing/y'all will annoy your friends with how in love you guys are. Big flustered, kicking your feet while laying down energy. It's just so exciting and new and you want to spend everyday with this person. Some of you guys could've been drawn to Pile 1, if so I'm hearing that this pile is more evolved in their healing journey so they are less apprehensive towards their approach to love. Overall you guys are big supporters of each other, I'm getting movie night snuggles in pillow forts/ morning breakfasts with coffee & dancing/hot cocoa, mittens, ice skating, meet the family, holidays & a proposal (literal of figuratively). Go forward, go fearless, & go crazy with the love, the expression of emotions, & the butterflies you feel. Be honest & open about your feelings & give each other time in the beginning stages. Don't try to force anything.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

New to real, genuine love aren't you? It's okay, we've all been there at one point. I'm getting that this relationship had a rocky start or that you guys may have had a rough relationship in a past life. You guys have been here before many times in many lives. Some of you ran away, other times you chased them away, sometimes you've lied to protect each other but it only ended up hurting you guys more, I'm getting that at one point one of you gave the ultimatum in a past life and the other took it jokingly/ smirking/ "they wouldn't do that to me, to us". They would, they did. But this time around is where the ultimatum is put to test. This is your choice to mend, fix, enhance your relationship & move forward from the past lives you've lived together. Definitely getting old souls, major beach vibes this time. Maybe you'll have a beach house or meet at the beach. You'll definitely know when you see this person that you've been here before with them. It's like meeting an old friend, an old lover, but you greet them with a smile & say "here we go again huh 😉". Getting gemini/aquarius energy, maybe sagittarius but only a little. "Hey hey hey lover~". Some of you will meet online, some of you have met before in this life but you were very young & didn't realize who the other person was to you. Getting rich vibes tbh. Another power couple here. Large events, nightly parties w/ string lights, lots of dancing, its a royal vibe here. One of you may be far more elegant/graceful than the other. In contrast, one may be more of a jokester/more brash with how they show themselves. Both hold some form of authority in their area of work, some may even work together at different ranks. I'm getting Childhood friends to lovers vibes. Someone called someone a nuisance(affectionately). "You're an asshole, but I love you~". All I know for sure is that you guys love each other deeply & want nothing more than to be with each other. Hearing "we'll do it right this time babe!". So be open, honest, and communicative with one another. Be clear about your wants, needs, & boundaries and maybe, just maybe you will get it right this time babes.

(Fun fact, this is my pile aswell. Don't worry, no biases here~)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Heads up! The love you've been asking for is on its way~ Who knows what the next season brings but you plan to be far more open, honest, & clear with your love & intentions with others. Good for you! Some of you may have faced hardships with past lovers or almost lovers, causing you to shield your heart from hurt. So big kudos to you for trying again and allowing yourself to feel things. Okay! Into the relationship aspects: I'm getting that one of you may feel that you have no chance with the other. "You were out of my league, got my heartbeat racing". The other is so enthralled with them that it doesn't even cross their mind to think about stuff like that. Both of you fall & you guys fall hard. "You got me tripping, stumbling, flipping, fumbling, oh you got me falling in love"~ I'm getting that you'll meet in a classroom, work environment, or daily hangout place (ie: coffee shop/library). One will definitely notice the other first while the other is preoccupied with something. The one who notices the other is far more outgoing, getting peacock energy. They definitely want to show off to the other, feel a need to impress the other in order to gain a chance with them (this is the person who is "out of their league"). The other is far more reserved, quiet, and even introverted. As I said they may notice the other watching them but are far too preoccupied to care/acknowledge it(which only fuels the others desire to impress). In regards to the peacock showoff vibes the other is giving, this person is someone who usually finds it annoying/rude but they find it endearing/amusing when this person does it. It's like someone is trying so hard to impress them its almost cute/laughable. They may trip or stumble & try to play it off while embarrassed. Meanwhile the other has heart eyes and has already decided that "hey they may be a cute idiot, but they'll be my cute idiot". This will be a romance for the ages. Others around them may be jealous & try to ruin it, some may succeed but only for a little while. Some will notice that this is a ploy & cut it off immediately. After all time tells all truths and these two were meant to be. If they are honest, open, & secure with themselves & one another then they will grow to highers sights & experiences they couldn't even dream of. I'm getting 444, dream couple, couple goals, its big kids on the playground energy. Like the vibe of one kid seeing another & deciding right there that they'll be married. Overall this is a fun & adventurous relationship. Getting movie, art museum dates. Concerts, traveling the world. Stars, night sky, Northern lights, night picnics, hammocks, campfires. Major cuddling vibes. Another honeymoon phase relationship (where it feels like that all the time/joy or butterflies whenever you see them). Some may even have a relationship where y'all help each other grow in career & wealth together.

Y'know it's been a hot minute since I made a post about witchcraft on this blog, and a lot has changed since my beginnings back in 2019, so I think it's time to share some thoughts.

MY MAGIC AND AUTISM:

One of my discord friends was talking about possibly being an empath, and at first I didn't say anything, but eventually I decided it'd be better to inform them that a lot of the "empath/indigo child/sensitive" stuff is just spiritual talk for neurodivergency.

I'm autistic myself, finally got diagnosed in 2022 a few days before my 25th birthday. My mom told me that we were empaths when I was growing up, that we were sensitive to the feelings of other people, and that's why we both ended up shouldering other people's problems. She tried to teach me how "block" energies, but that never really worked for me. In part, this is because it was an abusive household and there was no escape from the negativity, but that's not the point I'm trying to make.

As it turns out, there is a way to block negative energy, and it's called setting healthy boundaries with the people around you. Y'know, talking with your friends, making it clear when you don't have the energy to listen to them vent. If you have good friends, they'll be happy to listen and respect your wishes. If you don't, well, I cast the spell of "bye."

Having access to therapy, learning interpersonal skills, and (eventually) going on antidepressants was more helpful for getting rid of negativity than any amount of purifying crystals/blocking techniques.

In fact, getting my mental health in check allowed me to *really* start my spiritual journey! Parsing out what was in my head and what was really, genuinely mystical was crucial for my craft. I could talk more clearly with my tarot cards, I was more in-tune with the messages the universe was sending me, and things in my life finally started moving forward.

This brings me back to the autism diagnosis. Having the language and clarification about how I experience the world really allowed me to flourish magically. You know why? Because through understanding how my autism influences my perception, I could find my strengths.

For example, I'm really good at picking out patterns, and I tend to make sense of life through the lens of storytelling, so I have a tendency to see thematic elements that carry through in my life. One of my dearest friends from college said that I did everything with a "narrative flair," and that's because of my ability to find narrative patterns.

This leads into how I picked up pop culture witchcraft. My strong attachments to my favorite stories, as well as my proclivity for picking up on themes, makes it the perfect avenue for performing witchcraft. Now I'm a fully confident witch with strong personal proof that magic is real.

Basically, what I'm saying is, despite the pervasive ableism that conflates neurodivergency with spirituality, there is a healthy way to have both simultaneously, by understanding how one influences the other. It can lead to a deeper understanding of yourself, as well as a deeper connection to the divine! Don't be afraid to be yourself, neurodivergent witches!

I don't want to hear a WHISPER about starseeds or indigo children or any of that I Don't Need To Get My Child Tested For Autism Because They're Secretly A Part Of A Messianic Space Movement And Not At All Requiring Of Accommodation bullshit.

Please take care of your children because there are no standardized testing measures for autism in adults. They will not be able to get a diagnosis later in life if things get too hard for them to handle, especially if they're AFAB.

Everyone in my family knew I was autistic, allegedly, as a child, but no one went and got me tested because my vocabulary was big and I was emotionally sensitive. I had to have a major breakdown in order to even be considered for Severe Mental Illness benefits, which, in my state, only cover medical bills and not day to day expenses. Please. Please do not make it as hard on your kids as it was for me.
