well i'd already been feeling weird as dissassociative kinda going through the day in a daze since i woke up long before it was uncovered. xD so i don't think it's that one.

hmmm.. hmmmmmm... water however. that might be a good point and i haven't eaten in 5 hours... xD but i had three meals. i probably need more water

@0v7: LOL! I'm sorry! It sounds like you need to have a "chat" with that alter (if that works - I'm not entirely sure how this all works, tbh). Did your skeleton self have fun?

@Shadami: It's a rare thing that more water is a bad idea - most of us are chronically dehydrated. I'm happy to hear that it's probably not anything to do with your earlier discovery though! It sounds like you're just not very grounded, which could be water, or food, or the moon. Can you take a couple minutes to yourself and mentally "dig in your roots" and ground yourself? Go outside and hug a tree? (yes, I know, it sounds weird but I've discovered that this stuff can actually really help sometimes!)

I just found out what may have upset my balance. Sean connery died today

Ahhhh... yes - I heard that, actually (but didn't follow up to find out the details). Did you identify strongly with him?

Shadami

Friend PM Trade

Yeah I did.

@Wildfire: I can talk to my alters sometimes! Depends on how dissociated I am.
My night was wild and also not at the same time. Maybe it was the coffee he had. lol

@Shadami: Then that might just be it. -pokes previous comment- Go hug a tree or something to ground yourself /nods/

@0v7: Thanks for the clarification. Maybe it was the coffee... or the full moon? Did you have fun?

i did grab some water and a tiny snack. I'll probably try to do some art here for a minute to try to ground. I'm just not sure what i want to draw yet

"The future must know where you've been."

@Wildfire: Definitely the coffee - it was strong!
I had a bit of fun. This was very much a Samhain ritual and not a very complex one at that - I guess my expectations were a biiit high considering I dabble in that stuff off and on. The ritual consisted of writing down things you want to let go off, ripping up the paper, and tossing it into a fire.

I've heard of that paper fire thing. I think it was on some show or something.

Currently recovering from large amounts of PTSD. I'll post when I can, please ping for replies. Things are very difficult for me right now.

@Shadami: That's a good idea. Try to draw something that grounds you...

@0v7: That was it? That is a pretty basic ritual... it is a good one, but it's pretty simple. What were you hoping for? Or what types of things do you usually do for this time of year with Halloween and Day of the Dead??

"The future must know where you've been."

It's common for banishing negativity out of your life, but I kind of expected for there to be uh, actual witches besides my aunt and myself (she doesn't know I am, though, so...). It was a bit awkward seeing her explain it so poorly. I think it was nice though, she wanted to help out her friends - they didn't seem to be doing well.

@0v7: Sometimes, a small ritual or activity is best... especially for those who are still coming to terms with "more"

"The future must know where you've been."

@Wildfire: I do have to keep that in mind! Thank you for reminding me of that. I guess my expectations were high because I thought she had invited other witch friends...?

@0v7: It's about the "audience" - what they need, and what they're ready for. It sounds like you're looking or hoping for a deeper connection to something (not to be redundant, but) more... something deeper. Is it possible for you to get that?

0v7

Friend PM Trade

"The future must know where you've been."

@Wildfire: Hmm, it's possible but requires talking to my aunt about it. She doesn't really know I'm a witch (technically, I don't "practice" much). I do think she has a good start, though I wonder if her friends are actually interested in it.. maybe I can ask her about the process behind her ritual?

"The past predicts the state you're in!"

Wildfire

@0v7: Anything to start the conversation, really...
Do you think she has more experience and knowledge than you do - or connections that you might find beneficial to you at whatever stage you're at?

0v7

Friend PM Trade

"The future must know where you've been."

@Wildfire: She does have connections - and knowledge, though I have no idea if her interests are aligned with mine. I'm more of a secular witch - she's Wiccan, I'm pretty sure. I also don't want her to feel cornered by it, because while she's not exactly subtle to someone like me, maybe she wants to keep it more of a secret...?

"The past predicts the state you're in!"

@0v7: So a casual ("casual" from the perspective of just being curious?) conversation, maybe? Yes, maybe asking her about her thoughts behind the ritual tonight and going from there in a general sort of way until you get a better feel for her, her ideology, and where she's at...??

@Wildfire: I think I'll do that - thank you for the suggestion! I really appreciate it ;w;
