Samhain ancestor meditation
Posted: Wed Nov 02, 2016 11:09 am
On Samhain I went to a ceremony on a hill in the Santa Monica mountains.
We did a kind of meditation that went into the mound similar to the one at Brú na Bóinne.
I was having some difficulty getting into a good head space, partially because it is difficult for me to get comfortable on the hard ground. But at last I was traveling away from my body, even spent some time soaring over the land we were on in the form of a raven as I had also taken steps to represent the Morrigan and had a great corvid mask on. Then I drifted from one image to the next, but nothing really made sense or was worthy of noting. I sensed the other folks in the meditation we stirring and was feeling myself coming back when suddenly I encountered my dad (who has been dead 10 years now), he was sitting on a bench with my biological father (who died befor I was born) he looked at me and said this guy ...pointing to bio-dad, isn't half bad. They looked like they had been having some great conversation with each other, and were chuckling and acting all chummy. He went on to say they had the Navy in common (which I already knew) but they seemed to get great satisfaction from that. I felt sorta repulsed, didn't my dad know that bio-dad forced himself on bio-mom and thats how I came about? I don't remember saying anything, the vision faded and then I heard the others in the meditation standing up as a faint rythmic beat was playing to guide us back.
I'm not really sure what to do with this. It's kind of making me angry at my dad.
Help.
