******************************************

Thank you so much everyone for your explanations and friendliness. I suppose

that I should introduce myself - everyone was so nice from the get go that I

forgot to do that:-)

My name is Nicole, I used to have an occult name, but dropped it because it

really wasn't me. This is the name that I answer to, LOL!!!

I'm a Druid and a professional Tarot reader, esthetician, and Reiki

practitioner. I have a home studio here in Greenwood, NS.

The patron deities of my grove were Brighid and Sylvestrus. When I moved to my

present location, even though its rural, I had a hell of a time trying to

connect to Them. It was a really hard adjustment to this area, because my grove

and my gods had become a big part of my identity.

Without sounding hokey and flakey, I had a dream one night, during a dark moon

this summer, where They led me to a place called French Cross, not far from

where I live. There is a big cross monument there and Ma Kali was standing on

top of it. I thought this was odd, since I never dreamed of Ma Kali before, nor

did I know anything really about any of the gods from the East. Anyway, She was

standing with Her hands on Her hips, like some farmer surveying his crops.

Brighid and Sylvestrus walked up with me, and then Sylvestrus said "Well she's

all Yours now." and then They vanished.

Ma Kali looked me right in the eye, and I felt more than a little

self-conscious. Then I woke up quite suddenly (possibly more to do with my son

bouncing on my bladder than for any mystical reasons:-) Later on that morning I

was throwing out boxes in my studio and finishing my unpacking. Something

tinkled in the boxes and I pulled out two little bronze statues that my father

had gotten when he was in Cambodia serving under the UN in 1993, when I was 21.

One is a bell, with a dancing Shiva on it. He looks really happy and lively. The

other is not a bell, but a statue of the same height, of Ma Kali, with Her many

arms and many faces, looking sternly on one side, happy on the other, etc.....

I know that I did not pack those because they weren't really mine to take. My

father got them, because he became fascinated with Eastern deities while he was

away. Later on I was talking to my dad and he mentioned his statues. "Oh, I

always meant to give them to you because you were always more into this than

me. I see that you took them when you left." I didn't know what to tell him so

I told him about my dream.

Being my father, his reaction was "Well its better than a kick in the arse."

Oh my goodness!!! I'll have to end this on a rather stilted note, I just looked

at the clock and realized that I have a client coming in 20 minutes!!! Have to

make tea, have to tidy up, have to put on my face...:-)

Everyone have a good Sunday....!!!!

Nicole
