It's been a very long time since I've had the kind of mental workout I had this past Sunday.  I took part in something very special:  A Wiccan healing ceremony for Roger, led by my sister, who is a High Priestess.

I have been a Seeker all my life, searching endlessly for my spiritual home. I've come close at least once - when Roger introduced me to his faith - but I didn't feel like I'd truly found my home.  I felt like I'd found a safe-house, but not my home.  When I took part in the healing ceremony, I came closer than I've ever been to finding home - as if I'd finally found the right road, and it was just a matter of following it to see where it led me.

During the ceremony - which I won't describe, because I don't know if it's okay to do that - there was a point where I felt as if I'd shed my skin and simply disappeared into some other space.  I felt things I haven't felt in years; I saw things I haven't been able to see since I was about nine or ten years old; I experienced things I haven't experienced in years and haven't ever experienced before; I felt as if I was being awakened - or, perhaps, reawakened - in some way.

I studied (and practiced) certain aspects of the occult for a number of years, way back when, when I was younger, healthier, and stronger, and learning how to accept that I wasn't crazy, and to develop my psychic abilities. Over the years, I became much less active - mostly, because I wasn't in situations where I needed to use those psychic muscles. Naturally, the lack of use resulted in a kind of mental atrophy, which became apparent to me during the healing ceremony

It was a good thing that this happened, though. It's two days past, now, and I'm still exhausted, but I've learned something very valuable.  I've learned that this is the road I'm supposed to be on.  I don't know why I'm supposed to be on this road, but at this point, I don't think the "why" of it even matters. I think that what matters is that I've found the road.

So, I am resuming the study and practice I allowed to fall by the wayside.  There is a reason why some people have psychic abilities, and at this stage of my life, I think I owe it to myself to start focusing on and really developing mine.  I would like to begin a blog specifically for that, but I'm not going to.  Not yet, anyway. There's too much going on, right now, for me to take on anything more.  But, when I get back from my holidays, maybe I'll do something then.  Either way, you'll be the first to know.

Have a wonderful day, and thanks so much for coming to visit.
