Dear Multitude of Web Forum Pagans:

For Pete's sake, stop- or at least greatly reduce your use of the phrase "drawn to". You are NOT inexplicably and mystically "drawn to" every little thing that interests you. Seriously. If nothing else, the phrase just gets used FAR TOO MUCH. I should NOT be visiting a forum and finding fifty threads with questions like "What element are you drawn to?" "What tarot card are you drawn to?" "What books are you drawn to?" "What color clothing are you drawn to?" Find some other way to express the sentiment.

Sincerely,

Fuego

I think the only thing that tends to go beyond reasoning is the gods. So if someone said that they felt drawn toward a god I would say sure, since there are cases of very unlikely pairings of worshipers with deities.

But I completely sympathize with what you are saying on everything else. There are reasons why we are attracted to something which are not too difficult to figure out if we give time to figure it out.
But I think it is a popular trend to view everything that one likes as some mysterious pull rather than.. say... asthetics.

despite the fact that it drives me crazy that there must somehow be a Mistyrios Mystyckalle Reesonne for everything, I'd honestly be happy if people would just find other ways to say things. Vary your vocabulary, folks. '
