So after reading through all of your comments here, I don’t think the Higher Being was ready to reveal themselves to you because, as you said, They said you aren’t ready yet. Maybe They feel that you are too fresh off the boat, so to speak, in that you have much to learn still.
Without knowing the entire situation or full context of your dream and your feelings, I would say that it means you just need to do some introspection, focus on your learning and education. I kind of get the feeling that the Higher Being - which is just my gender-neutral name for a deity - has something to do with either nature in general, specific trees, or specific plants in the world. Maybe They want you to connect with the Land around you and learn more about native trees, plants, etc.
Update , I am still waiting to be contacted by a deity , my dreams haven’t told me much lately , but I’ve seen some pictures pop up around on my social media that seems like odd coincidences ,
This picture just popped up on my Facebook ; is this a sign or am I reading into this too much ?
It could be a sign, or it could just be an image that someone has shared. Honestly, that is up to you to determine. For example, if something like this came up on my newsfeed, I wouldn’t take it as a sign because I have a lot of people that I follow and are connected with who honor Hekate.
These things can take time, and you may never be contacted by a deity - but there’s nothing wrong with that. Many times the only things we see on social media from those in the community are talks about how other people have been called by a deity. What you don’t see is the hundreds of thousands of others who have not been called by a deity. Take your time and don’t rush it. Sometimes when you stop looking, everything will fall into place.
While I agree with @MeganB, sometimes the idea of “reading into it too much” is a sign itself. That feeling is you being called.
I believe being called is not something that you will literally hear like a voice calling you out, but a subtle feeling that things start to make sense. If you feel a connection to Hekate, no matter how small, then open yourself to that path.
Wait until the dark moon (right before the New Moon) which in Hellenic tradition is special to Hekate. Meditate with the intention to speak to her. Give an offering. Pray, internally or speak out loud to her.
What is your favorite time in history? What Gods were worshipped then? Pray, meditate about it.
I did a past life meditation once and I was male and a doctor. Egypt in general has always fascinated me. But I still feel the need to keep ‘shopping’ and I don’t mean to sound fresh. I find that I’m more inclined to Goddess and Consort. Still looking with prayer and faith. God will find you. Mellow blessings
This is some wonderful advice! Information of past lives can definitely be a starting point when searching for deities to work with. And how I love spellwork and meditations that explore past lives
For those interested in doing so, here are few ways to explore past lives:
For anyone who is struggling to find and connect with a deity, I agree with Barbara that peering back in time to research Gods and Goddesses of past lives may be a great place to start!
Such wonderful suggestions! I become more charged and delighted with the enthusiasm and generosity of people like The travel Witch and too many to mention.
If someone asks me “Are they good witches or bad witches?” I’ll answer “They’re ALL GOOD WITCHES!”
In this case, I’d say listen to your heart not your senses. Your eyes can deceive you and your ears don’t always hear subliminal messages. (Honestly, there was a time when manufacturers were putting sub. messages on their TV ad. They had to stop when caught, but people can be manipulative and deceiving. Trust your heart. God works in mysterious ways.
@MidnightVixxen:
Can’t help to borrow a comment a read long time ago, why Arabs keep many wives.
Only if they can afford to keep them and, here is the key, while they argue among them, He will be left at peace .
So, would like to have as many deities as possible.
Will always have a favourite one though!
She’s passed away to a better place.
Don’t apologize…
I keep in contact through my dreams😊.
She had Dementia, was quick!
Bless her, gonna miss her, because have her sense of humour and temper
Guess I have offended someone here, which was not my intention.
Lack of humour?
In some cultures is also rude not explain your actions.
Keep whatever is that you do and I will do the same.
Thank you very much
Bye
