Section I: The Dream

When we think of “Paranormal” you might be keen to jump right into your favorite horror flick, be it a scary poltergeist who throws things around the room, Michael Myers looming over you or perhaps something more sinister even in your headspace. What do we call it when we experience something paranormal but without the Hollywood style special effects and drama? Well, we tend to call these our “Experiences”, or Unverified Personal Gnosis (UPG) in the wider community.

These are the often ridiculous and contrived “I saw God!” type writings, where absurd or profound claims can be made based on the word of an individual. Some people may have their own UPG to share, some may be making it up for personal interest and others may simply be expressing something they don’t understand. In this post, we try to briefly touch on some of our own UPG, while (admittedly) we cannot decode the entirety of our experience it ultimately led us from Point A to Z in searching out The Morrigan. So without further ado, let’s begin:

In truth, as we write this I fail to find the memories of the events leading to this experience and the more we try the further it seems to fade away. None the less, it began a cold winter night many years ago sometime prior to Yule. My other half was up late one night, which was somewhat usual for us to do being the night owls we are. We followed our typical routine which isn’t much of a structure to begin with and lay down to bed. No drugs or alcohol was involved in the making of, just good ole fashioned insomnia.

I (husband), woke up in our home to it being dark which was not at all unusual. I walked into the office room as I believe I was under the impression it was just time to wake for the day as I often worked early in the mornings. What I didn’t realize at the time, was that I hadn’t woken at all and was still sound asleep, yet it all felt surreal.

As I sat to the chair in my office, things began to become strange not unlike that of a traditional horror movie. The room became cold, the night became still and silent. Before long I could feel the aura of something not “amiss” per-say but “Different”. Before too long, my wife woke up and I thought nothing of it. She stood in the door, half naked which was strange but not that unusual. What was in fact unusual was her eyes, they had a green color and glow among them with a mischievous smile. While what I saw was her, it was an equal measure very much NOT her. It took me 0.003 seconds to realize that what I was looking at was an entity of some form masquerading as her body.

Some things were spoken, those words I’ll keep to myself for the time being perhaps later on I’ll share. As she/it said these things, being the natural skeptic I am. I reached for my phone on my desk and snapped a picture of the entity in the doorway. This was of course a dream so it was a very rational action in not so rational situation. The photo snapped, the phone was laid down back to my desk as I continued to listen to this entity speak to me.

She/It then came over to me and mounted me. Sure in a “Sexual” position but not at all the intent. Was more of a controlling/dominating style of doing so. I would often smoke out of my office window and thus a pack was nearby. As she was in this mounted position she grabbed a smoke from the pack, lit it and began to take a few puffs. Shortly there-after, I was…teleported? Saw visions? Hard to extrapolate on something you cannot exactly explain logically. I saw the past and it’s events (some of which I wasn’t even present for) through the eyes of both my wife and/or a neutral third party observer like view. The events we’re mostly emotional experiences to help me understand my wife’s emotional state, to what end I’m not exactly sure. Perhaps to make me more understanding or relatable? Who knows.

As I came to the end of this trip down memory lane, the entity very playfully and with authority, burned the cigarette out on my chest. It hurt, I remember the burning feeling. If you’ve ever burned yourself on accident with a lit cigarette you know the feeling is very distinct.

In an instant, I snapped awake and was back in the bedroom. This time as I awoke, I rushed up and went to write all of this down on my PC in the office before alerting Mrs. Aries to what I had seen/felt. She validated a majority of the visions I had seen as being to close to what had occurred or very close to. Of course, this was just a story with striking detail…Until I reached for that phone that is.

Remember how I said I had snapped a photo? “Impossible! It happened during a dream!” is what I thought before checking my gallery anyhow. Sure as can be, the picture was there. The entity I saw was not pictured, instead there was a massive amount of “Ghost/Spirit Orbs” as they are often called, orbs obfuscating the photo in the near exact space the entity was standing before mounting me. That caught me totally off-guard. Was I sleep walking? No it would have disturbed the animals, was there a carbon monoxide leak in the house? No our detectors were fully working and charged. But wait, if the photo was there….

I pulled down my shirt to my breast where the cigarette had burned me. Sure enough, there was a perfect circular burn mark exactly where it had been. There was however, no evidence one had been lit. No ash on the floor, no burnt cigarette half smoked laying somewhere and no ash staining the seat in which I was on.

Now I said I won’t be sharing the words passed to and fro, but it was after that day I began serious research to explain what I had seen/felt and long story short after a fair bit of it I had made the determination this was in fact The Goddess or The Morrigan. In a sort of humorous but powerful way, resonated into my psyche the path I would need to follow to get there and ultimately cemented this path we now walk of learning and devotion. That was my first experience, I suppose it’s on to..”The Disk” (Coming Soon)
