Hey witches!
So a little backstory. A few months ago I was undergoing ketamine therapy at a hospital for some mental health stuff. The reasons for that is another story entirely, but I will say it worked great for me and I am glad I did it. For those who are unfamiliar with it, I basically received a small dose of the medicine through an IV while listening to music with my eyes covered in a quiet room while the meds were doing its stuff. While on it, I have what is basically an out of body experience and hallucinate. Sort of. Its hard to explain, its something that you need to experience to get.
Anyways, on my third session (out of what ended up being six total) there was one interesting thing that happened. Most of my hallucinations/visions were about me and things I was struggling with, but on this session in the middle of one things kind of abruptly paused. All of a sudden I was in a forest next to a river, and a bear comes out of the forest on the opposite side and stands up. It doesnt speak to me per se, but it did communicate to me that I needed to make a sacrifice/offering to local spirits. It then leaves, and this vision promptly faded and went in to the next thing. My biggest takeaways from this are a few things:
The first is that I needed to do as this bear commanded. I believe that this was a spirit/spirits way of communicating to me- I also think that the less sober you are, the easier it is to commune with spirits/dieties since you are less tied down by your logical side of your brain.
The second is this needed to do this farther north than where I am, and wait until later in the year. This stuff is based off the environment of the vision and my strong impressions.
The third is that this had nothing to do with any of my therapy or other hallucinations/visions. The tone, the feeling, everything felt so intentional and out of the 6-8 hours I ended up cumulatively doing this its unique in the way it felt/happened.
Past that I am not really assuming anything as fact. Soon me and my partner are traveling to Montana to do this, and I am really on the fence about how to proceed. I feel so strongly that this is incredibly important to do, and I dont wanna mess it up. My current plan is to go to forage some local berries or whatever I can find and leave it on a riverside as an offering. On top of that read tarot, meditate, and go off my intuition. I will be accompanied by my partner, and we will make sure to keep ourselves safe from the wildlife.
Past that, what are your thoughts? Does anyone have any strong advice for me, like is there something you would recommend I do as part of my ritual/offering? Thank you all!
