OK I'm not exactly sure what to call this...but here's what happened.
My hubby has been after me to smudge the house. He hasn't been sleeping well the past few nights and he thinks our little friends are having something to do with that. So we went to bed last night and he kept me awake with his tossing and turning. So I got up in the dark and found my smudge stick and smudged the house. I went over each room twice. So I get it done then crawl back in bed.
After I get myself settled down, I started to say my prayers. I said a specific one to Yemaya, asking Her to please let me know if I am to follow her and if this is the right path for me. A few minutes later, I started to feel "funny". I was laying on my back and my feet started to tingle and it worked it's way up my back. Before I knew it, my whole body felt that way. It made me think of the time I did a drawing down the moon ritual and I actually drew it down! The next thing that happened was weird...I could see myself in the bed, like I was above myself, but I also could feel and hear everything going on. So I was above my body but at the same time I was still in it. Then a voice came into my head. It was a woman with an accent that I don't really know. She said "I am Yemaya. I heard your calls. Yes you are to follow me. I will allow it. Things will come to you as I send them. You will know that they are from me. Start slow, there is no need to move fast. I will be here. Your first thought is a good one. I will let you know where to go from there. The river is fine."
Then she was gone and I was back to feeling normal...not tingly and I was not above myself anymore. I was really excited yet scared. I started to think about what she said. Especially this part: "Your first thought is a good one. I will let you know where to go from there." I went to the store yesterday and came across a package of sea shells. My first thought was to put them out for Yemaya. And there's the part "The river is fine." I questioned as to whether or not the river I am near is a good place to leave an offering to her. As I know that the river eventually makes it to the ocean.
I stayed awake for a while after that. Just thinking and going over what happened. Now I know this is for real. And that this is where I am supposed to be.
What are your thoughts on this?
