About a week ago I was lying in bed, preparing to go to sleep, when I had a suddenly had a very detailed "vision" of sorts. I normally don't "see" much of anything. I "hear" more often than not, and I can channel for decent periods of time. But this vision was very intense, and lasted for about five to ten minutes.
I had been researching the goddess Asherah for quite a while, and wanting to dig up more than just basic, fragmentary information on her like what seems to be available online. But without access to more historical sources I was kind of stuck in a rut up to this point.
I had the sensation of being picked up very gently and cradled in a woman's arms. It was a very warm, kind presence, even though I couldn't see her face. She told me that she was Asherah and she was grateful that someone had shown genuine interest in her after so long. And (now here's the part where things just get weird and why I was so hesitant to post this) she actually put me to her breast like a baby and fed me. I remember thinking "this is so strange, I'm fully grown and here's this goddess breastfeeding me." But it was such an intimate experience and so relaxing and so unlike anything I'd experienced before that I went along with it. Eventually I fell asleep, waking up feeling more alert and energetic than I'd been for some time.
So I guess this is just proof that some visions aren't always clean-cut and straightforward. Hell, I've heard that some are even sexual in nature. Granted, there was nothing sexual about Asherah's actions at all and it was a very loving, maternal feeling, but it's still a little bit awkward.
