Need a little help

[Siochanai]

Well it is happening I am starting to feel drawn down a path that revolves around nature. This is still a total loss to me. I was wondering if anyone can point me in a direction for further research and maybe some meditation. Right now I have seen a bear and a predatory bird in dreams. The bird is either an eagle or falcon not sure which. My other dreams involve gargoyles werewolves shadow figures and vampires. I am all over the place here. Any direction would be much appreciated.

What is it that you want to know?

 

[Siochanai]

Mainly a direction. We can start maybe with some various paths that vaguely coincide with my dream symbolism.

I know I am heading the right direction the cards tell me so. All be it they specifically said you are heading the right direction but a fork is comming and a decision will need to be made.

 

[Milfoil]

Direction needs to be your choice but perhaps you are looking for information which can inform your choice?

Looking around and reading about everything you can to do with these two animals, mind you, a lot of what is written on the net is not necessarily accurate for everyone so learning about what these animals represent to you, their lifes, connections with other animals, cycles of living, interdependancies, what they eat, how they reproduce, where they live etc will all inform the understanding you have of what message they are bringing to you.

What are the myths and legends around the world associated with these animals? What does your own heritage believe or where you live? Are these stories and teachings meaningful to you?

If you take a look at this thread:

You may find more information to help you on your path.

Thanks milfoil now I have a general direction. The big issue I see is that various entities in my dreams very rarely repeat themselves. Which makes it tough because there is no specific focus to look at. Worse off my heritage is a bit vague being apparently from what I am told polish dutch welsh and German. I am not positive of the accuracy of that besides the polish because my mother is full polish. So it looks like I need to find a way first and foremost to tear appart my heritage.

 

[Milfoil]

Well, perhaps not tear apart but certainly knowing a little about it is a great start. Black Afro-Caribean heritage is very different, mythologically speaking, from white western European so just making those distinctions of general area can be a great first step.

Well being that I am half polish I just ordered a book on Baltic witchcraft to start. Seems to have some great information in it on my ancient slovac heritage. It indeed revolves heavily around nature. I feel this is the best place to start personally because of my strong ties to my mother's heritage and how avid my grandparents were ensuring we knew about it. For instance my grandma's brother was actually born on the ship comming to the USA.

I have that book, it is very interesting, if a little limited in it's depth. It will be interesting to discuss it after you have read it.

In my opinion you are protected by nature and have a special bond with it. Nature is about being free, wild and respected - and I would have started to talk and communicate with whatever nature is around you, even if it's just plants. I believe that nature doesn't give any direction, but is rather a neutral friend that protects you when you need it (you still might get a toothache...).

Dreams are also related to The Moon, and here it's more about no direction at all - just floating and learning to get rid of fear.

That's just my opinion

I agree tor I am all over the friggen place. I do also have some deep rooted fears but I am dealing with those as they come up or trying to. The biggest one is of acceptance and forever losing my way again. My personal reading about my path says I am going the right way I just hope I take the right fork. Wish I could explain the fork but I want that to remain silent for now.
