It is summer of 2013 and I find that I am now brave enough to allow myself to experience whatever this is that is in me, or that I am able to do, or more specifically, I am called to do.

 

I guess I have always had this "other" sense. When I was younger it was mostly geared towards animals. All kinds. I had this wonderful back yard as a child, part marsh with a tiny pond that had a small island in the middle with a tree on it, and part true forest with moss, ferns and salamanders. My father had put up a tire swing for me on one of the large tress in the forest section of our yard. It was a wonderful tree whose base had a great root system that was above ground. It was easy to imagine gnomes and fairies living there. I would spend hours swinging on that tire singing whatever songs came into my head. One day as I was swinging and singing, I noticed a white spider with black eyes pop out of one of the root systems and sit there as if it was listening to me sing. I stopped singing and it went back in it's tunnel. I started singing again and it came back out, taking up the same position it was in before. I stopped singing and again it went back inside. I started singing again and out it came. We played this game for a couple of hours. I would sing and it would listen and whenver I stopped it would go back into it's home.

 

As I grew older, I began to see spirits even though at the time I was not aware that I was indeed seeing spirits. Then as a teenager, I had a very bad experience that made me shut things down, two more times I tried to experiment with this "ability" of mine, only to be thrown right back into that same bad situation. So, I shut it all down. The only thing I couldn't shut out was  how other peoples energy effected me.

 

Now, 33 years later, I am at a point in my life where my spirit guides will no longer allow me to shut it all out. So, with the help of my guides, my friends, and some wonderful people at a metaphysical shop, I am on my journey to enlightenment. It was suggested that I blog about this journey and so I will.

 

Next I will write about how I was pushed into taking this journey by my guides, let you in on who they are and this odd but wonderful relationship I have with my pendulum, which my first spiritual advisor has said is actually my oracle.

 

But for now, good night.
