Just a neat spiritual moment.

This was just something I had to share. As most people who know me know, I'm I pretty grounded realist. I don't buy into magic, miracles, ghost, things I can't feel or touch, etc... I am however spiritual. I just haven't had anything like a god appearing before me ever happen. I have had some strange things happen, but nothing that I'm sure couldn't be explained by something tangible. So it's really cool when something freaky happens to me. Even if this could be explained, it's still a neat happening!

Ok, so yesterday is one of my rest days. I workout every other day so I use my rest days to work around the house, sometimes maybe go for a motorcycle ride. Yesterday however I was feeling a little beat up from work and mentally exhausted. So I chose to meditate and do a little short blot. I have a nice little corner of the house to hide. So I set up my spot, light a candle, get out my blot bowl. All I had to offer was a heather ale, the only one I had. So I sit for a while and tell the gods all I have is that ale, but it is a good ale and hope they like it as much as I do. I fill my horn, take a drink and then pour the rest in the bowl. I then tell them I'm not there to ask for anything, just need to relax. I then find myself just chatting. I bitch about work for a bit and as most people who are realist do I put in the old "I just wish I had a sign that someone is listening" Inside I can feel they are though.

Anyway, I sit there for a little longer and then blow out the candle. I'm sitting on the floor gathering up my things when all of the sudden I just get overwhelmed with this sense of wellbeing. It's kind of hard to explain, I just felt like a million bucks. Then I stood up, and mind you I am in a closed room, and am hit with a light breeze coming from nowhere and it is full of the scent of fresh flowers! It smelled like I was standing in a field full of wildflowers! Oh, and trust me, I looked around the room to see if maybe my wife had hidden a air freshener somewhere. She hadn't. It was gone as fast as it appeared. Talk about getting cold chills.

Needless to say, I'm still pretty high from the whole thing.
