So I decided I was going to answer a calling to visit and hear what it was Anubis wished of me to hear. I focused on grounding myself and meditating. Imagined myself going up to the seventh plane or seventh realm.
I found myself standing on warm desert sand. I expected to just magically get where I needed and see Anubis waiting for me. Obviously, I had to do more effort than that. I originally felt it was an empty desert but I followed my instinct and went West and continued to walk until I saw some symbols and such vaguely and lightly carved into some small stones and pillars buried beneath the sand.
Next thing I know there's a slant or downward tilt where I walk and I feel and see sand and my self falling forward and I at first assumed it was a hill until it turned into a giant hole and I found my self falling into this hole surrounded by sand falling with me. I finally looked down to see where I was going and I saw a giant sand and or gold carving of Anubis's head with his mouth open and I fell through and into his mouth.
At first there was just darkness until I found myself....still falling and saw symbols on walls, a few torches and Beatles and even occasionally this really beautiful elegant looking cat that I at the time didn't realize who it was. (It wasn't Bastet) I began to wonder how long I'd be falling and I felt this energy wave over me as if to remind me this was part of my test, patience.
I finally forced myself to relax and be patient as I continued to fall for what felt like a long time until I finally found myself on the ground.
Before me was a large temple, huge pillars with carvings I can't even begin to describe but there were a few symbols I recognized like the eye or Ra and Horus and the easy basic ones such as that. There were cat statues and a few urns in the background.
Finally in the center just above me sitting up 4 stair steps away from where I stood on a golden throne was Anubis. He had a very calm neutral expression and I won't lie I felt a bit relieved to have finally found him and was in awe of him.
I looked downward to kneel and bow before him and I surprised myself to see I was not in my normal body or vessel. I was a mountain lion (or cougar or puma whatever you may call it) humanoid being. I hate to admit it, but I did lose focus for a bit taken aback to see myself in this humanoid cougar body.
I finally snapped out of it and basically screamed at myself, "Focus on Anubis, he's the reason you're here don't get distracted!" And I found myself looking back up to him before I finally was on my knees and bowing before him.
I thanked him for his patience, I thanked him for his presence, and asked forgiveness on how unorganized and distracted I had allowed myself to get. I thanked him for his understanding and explained I looked forward to working with him and learning whatever it is he is here to teach me. He had a very calm but assertive energy but it was welcoming and not as intimidating and scary as I had anticipated.
The most helpful to thing during this was I knew I had trouble focusing and was embarrassed by my lack of focus in all this, but he was very patient and very forgiving and I think he understood I was still new to astral projection and wasn't sure how successful I'd be.
Unfortunately I got distracted too much and felt myself slipping away back to the mundane realm and before I did so, I quickly thanked him and once again appologized for not being more focused or not managing to stay grounded there.
He honestly seemed calm and forgiving and something tells me he already expected the visit to go that way but I am determined to try again and continue to work for it and try to improve in my abilities to focus and stay grounded when I visit him.
Also, the cat I had met during my journey to find him was actually my familiar, her name is Hex and she's my partner's cat. She had astral projected with me to guide me and follow me.
When I woke up I found the cat with her paws folded in front of her and her eyes closed and she was laying next to me where I was meditating. Once she realized I was back she slowly opened her eyes and nuzzled me to greet me.
It may not have gone as smoothly as I anticipated and I admit I have much to learn still I am still happy to have managed to do my first brief meeting with Anubis and look forward to the next one. I just wanted to document and share my experience on my first meeting with him
