Practical Magic

I have a question for the masses.

Is it weird, or wrong, to change an aspect of your life based on a movie?

About a month ago I watched a movie titled "Practical Magic." After viewing this movie I had this sense of homecoming, and I couldn't stop watching it.

I have been searching for the past five or six years to find the religion, if you will, that suits me. My entire family is some sort of Christian, but Christianity has never sat well with me; I don't feel comfortable in it. When I was fourteen I became conscious of my lack of spiritual sustenance and that the whole it had formed needed filling. I first turned to Celtic Paganism, researching and learning what it is, and seeing if it fit me. I did lite research for the next 3 years or so then, after being guided through a spirit quest by a friend of my aunt Judy's, I studied Native American Spiritualism. But after a while I came to the realization that everything I was reading was too vague for my needs, so I was adrift for some time.

Then this movie came back into my life and I feel that I have found where I belong. I read my books on the subject and I have a sense of completion, at least as far as spirituality goes.

So, back to my question: does it really matter what causes the spark of realization to what's right for you?
