Last night, after the divination sessions, I tried a meditation instead of a full circle/worship. And I went on a journey. A very interesting, colorful, detailed journey. This was much different from most meditations or interactions with the gods. Instead of everything happening from my POV, through my eyes, this time I was watching things unfold from both first person POV and third person POV. And kinda at the same time. It was like looking down on a scene, and then having the first person POV laid on top of that. Seeing both at one time, shifting your focus from one to the other. Some of my dreams appear like this too. Most in fact. However the dreams that I have in first person POV tend to be stronger and/or more emotional (stream of consciousness, lol, but also food for thought too). Also, everyone in this journey (myself and the gods) were in their spiritual form. It was not necessarily physically accurate.
This journey began when I opened my mind and heart to the gods. I offered up a quick, simple prayer to Tehuti (Thoth). I realized while I was praying, that I too had acquired an ibis beak. With this beak, I turned to my right slightly and bowed to Horus - falcon headed man. As I bowed to Horus, I prayed and offered him worship. And rather involuntarily, not on purpose, had not been my plan - I promised myself to Heru FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. And called him "My Sun and Moon." Before I could even consider what I had just done, Isis flew down and carried me to a temple for a ceremony.
While carrying me to the temple, Brigid appeared. Isis and Brigid then began swirling around each other, in a contest. Isis told Brigid to go away, that Brigid was just a white version of herself and that it was Isis I truly loved. At this, Brigid drifted away. I don't feel like she was upset about losing the contest. I got the impression that it was just another day or that she would get another chance with someone else.
Isis then carried me down into a temple where I found myself dressed in a linen tunic (which I worried about how it clung to me - go figure!). She then introduced me to the entire Egyptian pantheon. Isis told the group that I belonged to Horus. Then a golden light (cheesy, I know lol) seemed to radiate from both myself and down on me from the sun. Isis led me down the stairs of the dais / platform we had been standing on, to mingle with the gods. Each of the gods spoke, and told me congratulations. None were very physical with me, such as hugging or touching - other than Isis. I walked over to Sekmet who had a black cat curled around her shoulders. Sekmet smiled at me (her fangs didn't even look menacing, just kinda exotic and beautiful) and then the black cat (Bast obviously) raised her head to nuzzle me under my neck. The feeling of something on my neck brought me back into my current reality. But for a little while after the journey, I could still feel where the cat had pressed her head into my neck and nuzzled.
And during all this ... ceremony, Heru is standing off to the left of the crowd, by himself, observing in a contented sort of way. I remember looking over at him, beaming. Throughout this whole journey, I remember feeling such peace, and happiness. I was glowing spiritually and emotionally. Yet, there was this voice in the back of my head sounding the alarm going : what have you just done?! lol.
Well, I had some sort of marriage / commitment ceremony with Heru. Received the blessing of Tehuti (having the ibis beak). I was claimed, lol. I haven't felt ready to dedicate myself to a god before because I haven't been truly, 100% on my path for long. I felt too immature to rush into something like that. Yet, it did happen. And I'm so happy now. It happened with the one god I have truly been in love with, Heru. My he always live in the north!
I am currently doing some research on Egyptian temples. I have a small hunch that the temple where the ceremony was held is an actual temple. It could be Kom Ombo but I'm not sure yet. The following three pics are taken from Kom Ombo. In the last one, the large steps up resemble the platform/dais I was standing on.
