hello Elisa! I had a weird dream the other night, and since I was always attracted to witchcraft, spiritual and those sort of thins this really intrigued me. I had a dream about a women named Sowen, she was dressed in black and looked quite scary to be honest. In the dream I was trespassing, I was on her territory. The weird part is : I'm on a beautiful beach looking at the gorgeous sunset while people around me, Sowen's followers chant so-wen so-wen and so on. It was really scary so I googled the name of course, and it found nothing, then I found that Samhain or Halloween is pronounced Sow-wen, and that the 2nd part of the word means Sunset in gaelic or something! does that mean I should turn more to witchcraft? tnx!

It certainly is possible that Spirit may be moving you in that direction. I have recently had the experience of seeming to receive numerous messages from a Chinese diety, Kwan Yin, through repetitive clairvoyant sightings I've seen, synchronicitous events that have been happening lately, even conversations where she comes up through the person I'm speaking to when I didn't bring her up, and many other oddities. I definitely notice a pattern. Then I had lunch with a qigong teacher recently, who explained what I had been experiencing --but again, at this lunch I had not mentioned to her what I had been experiencing. She was merely explaining some of her experiences, which were similar to mine! So it is entirely possible that you are being lead in that direction. It does happen this way, and your dream imagery was uncannily seeming to point to that. Some suggestions:

* Keep a journal to record this and other dreams you have. Dreams often instruct us, as you see. It's an easy way for the spirit realm to talk to us because our mouths are shut for a while, and we're actually doing the listening rather than all the talking. Our over-rationalizing, chatty left brains (known as "Monkey Chatter" in Buddhism) are shut down for a while. While this dream may seem very memorable to you right now, its significance will slowly begin to fade in your memory due to living life, it's normal. So keep a record of these dreams, along with any ideas, flashes of insights, freaky conversations or synchronicities that occur. You'll begin to see patterns. These are "sign posts" to the direction of your unique life path

* Please read over the responses I posted to the questions "how do I know this is my path?" and "where do I learn more?" which I typed in this forum yesterday Questions About Wicca by Hiddencast - Oct 2009, as I would like to reiterate them in response to your question.

Thanks for posting your question, and joining us here on the message board --all the way from Croatia!
