And if your heart happens to lead you somewhere strange or the spirits throw something in your direction that was nothing like anything you would have explored otherwise, be open to it.
Just a tidbit from my personal experience. I stumbled a bit at first because I wasn’t as flexible as I am now.
That’s good advice, too! I’m kind of dealing with something like that right now I’m going to write about it for my challenge entry this week, I think! I still need to do the deity tarot spread and I’ll include that, too.

Question about Loki
I mentioned about my cave manifestation to meet my spirit guides. My cat’s name is Loki. He appeared in the spirit world yet he’s alive. Do you think this could be your Loki? Has he ever appeared as cat to you?
@Sivonnah Not a cat, he’s shown me a hooded figure, a face, spiders, a sigil and shield, and a smart dressed man. I think the biggest sign for me with Loki, is where does chaos fit in your day to day. I’ve taken a look over my life, and seen that chaos has been a strong feature in almost every day, especially major events like my wedding. Pagan Portals Loki is a good book and it’s a couple of pounds on kindle. If you give it a read and see if he speaks to you. That book was a turning point for me. Hope this helps (he’s super fun but will turn your life upside down ).
@Sivonnah I’ll give you one tip with Loki. He is a shapeshifter, so he’ll come to you in whatever way you feel about him. In other words, if you feel he’s a monster, bad, scary etc that is what you’ll experience (not to scare you or anything, that’s why I recommend the above book), but he does tap into your energy. To me I’ve always viewed him as a kinda Father figure and friend, so I’ve never had a bad experience, mischievous yes but he’s never scared me. I’ve always felt safe, in awe yes, but safe.
Here’s a link which is where I sort of explained how to get to know Loki. Weekly Witchy CHALLENGE - Magickal Safety post 18 it may help.
I’m commenting on this real quick because I noticed that you mentioned a cat further down. One of The Morrigan’s potential sacred places is called Oweynagat, the Cave of Cats.
The Morrígan emerges from this cave in the Táin Bó Regamna on a chariot pulled by a one-legged chestnut horse. She brings a cow, guided by a giant with a forked staff, to breed with the Brown Bull. In another story the Morrígan takes the cows of a woman named Odras who follows her into the cave before falling under an enchanted sleep, upon awakening she sees the Morrígan who whispers a spell over her, turning Odras into a river.
Okay, cool! We have a few resources here on Spells8 about her already. I can grab some for you if you’d like - just let me know if you want me to share them here or DM you
Hi @Sivonnah I have read through the progression of this thread, as well as all of the resources mentioned. I did want to say that the Morrigan is a deity I work with very closely. I will also be updating the thread named The Morrigan Celtic Goddess & there are ample resources contained within there also.
I say this because I had made the original informational post shortly after Her finding me. However, since then my learning, practice, & understanding of Her has completely been expanded to a much greater extent.
Which I can also say about Brigid & the Tuatha de Danaan. Both deities have a strong representation in that separately but also some crossover. It just so happens I am highly involved with both of them
