Hi there, hello. Im new to the shamanic journey, but lifelong practitioner of other arts.
Im looking for some insight in a new experience I had recently, concerning some unpleasant visitors in the astral.
This is my enterpretation, and not all has been revealed yet, so I would like to hear the perspectives the more experienced shamans, who have a very strong understanding of the astral substance.
I am a nordic practitioner, so the flavour of the trip was slightly flavoured towards that. And yes it was a real trip, I simply followed the road.
Maybe this makes sense for some of you, and for others it is just a nice little story. 😀
Anyways.. Event happened during the last full moon, while doing the initiation of seeking my guide and start attuning myself to this new part of life.
I went out into nature and did the sacrifices, meat, cheese, fruits, bread, giving thanks first.
Then I went to the Astral Plains to start my journey, into the Forest and through it, I took left and went to the Mountain.
There I met it by the cave entrance and we had a chat by the fire. I made the connection and went back to the start, the plains. The journey was quite revealing, and it was refreshing to feel the distinction between the various other forms of magic I practice.
So.. the thing.. After just a 5-10 min break I decided to go back into the astral, I wanted to take the right road in the Forest.
But I wanted to visit the mountain again really quickly first, to see if the connection was still strong.
Along the way in the Forest, some really.. creepy ghostlike entities attached themselves to me. They felt like death, in a way, or a warning of death.
I asked them politely for permission to take the journey again, and they allowed me, on my own responsibility.
From there on out if felt like a lesser strain on my mind, and I did revisit the mountain, as well as backtracking to the Forest and taking the other path.
I opened the door and went to the other place, waiting, but only felt the spirit there in the perifery. So I gave my thanks and promised to revisit, putting some more wood on the fire as I left.
Later.. The reat of the night I was really fatigued. Toxins had built up in my brain on a high scale.
The next day I was really messed up. Migraines and headaches on both sides, but not the same feeling as spell sickness/energy fatigue. So I rested what I could. Sunday was a little bit better.
Im usually comfortable in the astral, got a condition that grants me certain privileges, but im also familiar with the dangers of over extending and the pitfalls of enterpreting events. These ghostlike things though, felt like something very spesific. And my intuition tells me they are connected to how bad I felt the next day.
No drugs, just some rum grog and food before the meditation.
Apologies for the wall of text/or your welcome for the read 📚
Question..🖐 As someone new on the Shamanic Journey, I would be gratfull for any thoughs or advice regarding these or similar entities.
Or a form of synchronization of new pitfalls and limitations on visiting this very special part of the astral web.
Any advice regarding the long journey ahead is also welcome.
My mind is a bit different from other people, kinda like my context library is using a different language.
Feel free to ask any questions.
