(pronounced Sayth)
At the Kindred meeting last night, we had a seidh session. It was my first, and it was rather interesting.
Seidh is a Norse Scandinavian practice that encompasses many different disciplines, though the most commonly thought of one is oracular practice. It's somewhat controversial in Heathen circles, as some people say there is no evidence of it in the writings and lore, while others point to evidence that they say confirms the practice. nonetheless, it does seem to work.
I asked the seers two sets of questions. The first one was about my blindness. The totems tell me that I will regain my sight, that is, visual sight in the way that we most commonly use the word, every time i visit them. Last night's session agreed, though with less of a definite tone about it, and I was told that there was something that I needed to do or learn before that would happen. Now I'm curious.
The Second set of questions was about a life transition I'm planning for May of 2006. It affirmed that this is a transition I should make, and that it is where I need to go, but it would not be an effortless transition. The place I was planning on going to for this transition is in Southeast Asia, so I asked if it still existed, and I was told to wait for a month to get details. I was told that I needed to find strength in friends, as this transition would not be well served if I got into a relationship, and that I needed to be careful about people I sense in my dreams, as there is something going on there that is causing illusiory energies to be felt by me.
Interesting stuff. I'm not happy about spending the next year and a half with this unwanted feeling I've developed recently, but if that is what I have to deal with to get where I need to be, so be it. As I move through life, having things stay on track is becoming more important than personal happiness. I am becoming more focused on taking care of the things I'm here to do, and less focused on the details of how I feel about the day to day stuff. After all, if I focused on the day to day, I probably wouldn't have made it through the hard times when ai was dealing with being recently blind.
Still, it is annoying to have to deal with major life changes alone. Since I asked the Ex-live in to move out almost three years ago, I haven't had anyone close in my life. I'd like to actually have someone there who wants to be there with me sometimes, especially when the times get rough or I really want to talk about some new idea that caught my fancy. I guess I need to find the strength inside of me that will allow me to walk solo for a while longer. Some things are worth it.
