The last couple of weeks have been a healing time for me physically. Fortunately the pain levels are back down to what they were before but the healing involves a lot of sleep, which means I'm not getting a lot done. I like to think the gods are very patient with me. I've had some dreams about esoteric things, most of which is just a whisper in my sleep. But soothing nonetheless. The gods have certainly been good to us the past few weeks by settling a lot of stressful things that we had no idea could be settled so quickly. Our washer died along with the car nearly following suit, lasting long enough to buy another one before it died as well.
I don't pray for "things" like I did as a christian. My relationship with the gods deals more with asking for the ability to handle things rather than things themselves. Not that it's right or wrong; it's just the difference in me as a pagan. As I heal I feel more motivated to see some progress in my spiritual practices as well. I'm also feeling more open in my search for the right path.
In ancient times the lives of the people were affected by strangers who passed through or settled down in communities, bringing new gods into the picture or new understandings. For example, the Norse gods eventually became the Anglo Saxon gods. I don't see my path as narrow as I used to. Maybe I'm finally getting rid of my all-or-nothing perspective.
I'm feeling freer with a lighter weight on my shoulders. I don't feel like I have to choose between the Norse/Anglo Saxon gods and the Celtic gods. It opens up a bigger world as well.
Hopefully I can now stay awake long enough to get some studying now.
Looking forward to a less stressful time for a change..
