Challenge Entry #1
Weekly Witchy Challenge: Handwritten Magick. I tried my hand at automatic writing: this was my first attempt.
I began with thinking about a question i wanted to receive guidance about. I was more fuzzy on from whom I wished to receive guidance, whether it was from my higher self, a spirit guide or ancestor. Honestly, I was not sure on which door I should knock,I just knew I did not want to channel a dark entity.
But I haven’t let inexperience and uncertainty hold me back from trying new things before so I jumped in with both feet, or hands, not knowing what to expect.
I knew I was to close my eyes, focus on my breath and try not to think what my hand was doing, to surrender it to whatever force would guide it. I was calm and mildly curious.
I was surprised just how automatic this felt very early on. Whatever i tapped into, whether it was my own subconscious or what i could feel my hand writing like mad and my head fell on chest. It did feel trance-like or dream-like.
I scribbled 3 pages of notebook paper, stopping because the energy became quiite intense…i was scribbling very fast and my heart rate increased. I haven’t had a seizure before but it occurred to me that i was approaching an altered state of some kind so i quit, since this is unknown territory for me.
I was able to discern some words i had no intention of writing “tomorrow,” also “son” and “father.” It is very dream-like and hard to pinpoint a meaning. I will set it aside and come back to it. Perhaps the meaning will come to me in dream.
