Final of the three part dream! The final journey ended at the world tree. Thor was there with me and I was handed off to a group of other women. There were a great deal of people there many were from Hel and I saw the Norn’s there.
I felt Frigga near me. We were all around the tree and there was a throne there. I was sat on the throne and felt uncomfortable, the women once again surrounded me and brushed my hair, and I felt prepared for something. I was then lifted in the chair and brought to the tree, the tree seemed to open, and then the throne sat somewhat in the tree.
A long tendral fell from the tree and wrapped around my arm, I felt a sting and looked to see thorns had imbeded themselves into my arm, it released but there was a definite mark left from the tree, it seemed to be a burn where you could see the dug in thorns left the mark and the arm was red.
Frigga looked at me and said, now you are made a wife of the tree, a woman of the worlds, married to it, as shamans are.
*I think it meant that a shaman is married to their path, this was a symbolic bond between myself and the tree, in that now I am part of it and it is part of me.
It was a good ending and I feel like it means that I finally have accepted this path and it has accepted me. I think mutual acceptance is important! I once read that those that resist the ‘call’ to shamanism don’t find it too easy, it seems that surrender is a part of it, one has to accept it.
