Hello, from sunny wales, yes its actually not raining today, hurrah:yayah:

I was just woundering if anyone had done the vision quest, either durid or native american. I would like to have a go at one of these and woundered if anyone could offer me some advice.

thanks:wave: :hahugh: :boing:

I've done a couple really it depends how exactly you plan to do it as to what advice i'd give

Personally the best advice I can give is plan it well so you are mentally prepared for it as much as you can ever be

hello again,

i have read about the druids version of vision questing, and i think i like this better feeling an affinity to trees and the like, the problem really is finding somewhere to sit for 24 hours without some idiot comming up to you and asking what you are doing:hahugh:

i would have a go in the back garden but its overlooked and my neighbours are shall we say closed minds. the other option i suppose is to go camping for the weekend in a quite spot, :hahugh:

anyway thanks for the advice on this and the herbs:wave:

If you are sitting with a tree and an idiot comes up and asks you what you're doing, politely tell him/her it's none of his/her f'ing business. This is your world. Don't let fear of the opinions of closed minds slow you down. Do what you need to do. Enjoy. Good luck. I hope your quest goes well.

Haha~ I had a similar experiance. There is no private park aound my area, so the area with lots of trees are usually in the open, in plain sight from the jogging trail. So months ago, there were times i just went and put my palm against the tree trunk and tried to communicate with it, caz it helped me to ground my excess energy before. Naturally the joggers/passer-bys were curious and many of them had the thought of a lunatic teenage girl talking to the tree. It was not until my father broke the truth to me n forbid me to try anything like that again to avoid any embarresment.
