#7.14.20

Unfortunately, right after, I woke up. But I've been thinking about it all day. I decided to go into the astral and maybe see if I could find out who it was. Here's some of my notes on the encounter:

I see... an outline of a figure... in void space...

But that's all I can perceive... how odd...

I'm in a blank room... i hear footsteps... a warm touch on my shoulder...

Uhmm... hello??

They move in front of me, and sit down... long, slender, almost twig-like legs... black...

A younger face... hi... oh... Prince?? No... you're not Prince... but you have a similar vibe... who are you??

Shh... let me speak...

Hi...

Nice to meet you... I've been watching you... they cock their head in interest... they have a youthful face... blonde hair... kind of like Jack Frost from that animated movie...

Okay... are you... a spirit?? What are your intentions??

My intentions?? They chuckle

Yes. Or is it mere curiosity

Oh it's more than curious, definitely

Was it you that was knocking earlier??

Perhaps...

Well, at least you are polite. What do you want with me?? And i mean that with polite intentions

What do I want with you?? Well... bleghhrgh hard time discerning

Why are you watching me??

At this point, I question whether or not this is real. As I do, they get kind of angry, and their face, which is normally youthful and soft, became like dark and this gaseous-black. I invited my guides to join me.

Relax, relax... I have no ill intentions... you are just curious. I was wondering if you wanted to make a deal

A deal? What kind of deal??

Yes, a deal. Energy for energy.

Why do you want my energy

Because your energy is different. It's a mix. Besides, it's not often that you find a human with energy to trade

Hmm... and what does that make you then??

Devilish grin... well... I'm a spirit, clearly...

Well... normally I might be inclined to accept your offer, but I kind of need my energy elsewhere at the moment, so I'm going to decline.

Hmm... fair enough. I can't hate you for that.

Thank you for understanding. I am curious about you as well. But if there's nothing else, I'd like you to leave.

They stand up and stretch

No... I think that will be all... perhaps we will see each other again.

Perhaps... farewell

Evil grin... I fade things to black and disconnect...

After this, I kind of felt them lingering around, so I did a banishment, which - interestingly enough, this is the first time that I did one proper. I did a banishing spell with a sigil in the astral, cutting them off. Once I did, those lingering feelings subsided.

I'm not sure what kind of being the entity was... but... I'm wondering if perhaps they are a daemon?? I've never came into contact with one before, and I don't know too much about them... but their energy did feel more sinister and... darker, than normal. That's not necessarily a bad thing. That's just how it is. Iind of reminds me of a hell-hound I spoke with a while ago. Also... they were more... intelligent?? Or wily than I've seen as well. Also... just realized maybe it was another kind of Fae... since they kind of felt similar to Prince... I've never come across an Unseelie Fae... maybe it was one of them...

Anyways. Sorry for the double-post, but this just happened and I wanted to make sure that I have it documented. I hope that everyone has a good night!

Unfortunately, I didn't get to do as much spirit work as I would've liked to. The friends that I went with aren't spiritual at all lol so I had to do everything on the dl, but more importantly they don't camp like I do. They called me a "purist" which is funny yet apt, because compared to them I am. They like to go into the mountains and blare rowdy music and get extremely fucked up. So that made it quite difficult.

But for a little while, I was able to talk to the trees. It was so... still. The wind rustling through all of the leaves... I went to the astral and I felt all of their presences... I also felt... discomfort, and uneasiness from them. I also felt it in myself; we were being very disruptive.

At one point, a tall, very slender, white figure joined me and sat down. I think it might've been like the guardian of this place, representing the trees. I took the time to thank them for letting us camp, and I apologized for my friends. I gave some energy as an offering, and they reluctantly took it, not because they didn't want to, but because this hadn't happened to them before.

That was really all I ended up doing. But I did end up having fun camping, and I think I'm ready to do it again once I get back to Oregon, which is a very big step.

In other news, I did my homeopathy remedy yesterday. It's still far too early to see what's going to happen with it, but my brain feels like blah so I'm going to be taking it easy for now.

Soo I've been studying the runes, and it's been going really well actually!! I've bonded with my set, and I think the daily readings that I do have resonated with me so far.

But this is something unlike anything else I've learned. From what I've seen from my research, there's actually a lot of differences in what the interpretations and meanings of the runes are. Different sources and people have different thoughts on them. The majority of the runes have a consensus on what they generally mean, with minor differences among readers. But other runes seem to have different meanings among readers entirely, such as Eihwaz, or Algiz.

This is different, because with Tarot and oracle cards and stuff, there really isn't any discrepancy at all as far as the meanings go. I had kind of an uncomfortable realization: I'm going to have to find my own meanings for the runes.

This is actually something that I feel weird about but also I'm extremely excited for. I'm going to be using my intuition a lot when I'm using the runes. Because not only do I need to find my own meanings, but I also need to use intuition to put them together, as well as figure out when to use the inverse meanings of the runes, because that is also a very complicated concept.

Fortunately, I think that Skadi is going to be helping me with understanding the runes better. She told me that she would help me and teach me once I better learn the runes, and I have a feeling that that will be part of it. I'm excited.

I think that's it for now. I know I haven't been super active, but that's because I've been insanely busy during my trip home. Once it's over, I'll be more active again.

I hope that everyone has a wonderful day!

I live here now
