Just to let you know, this part of the website is completely opinionated and quite personal - the first of the visions that I have had with the White Lady was told to very few people and the second was never revealed until I decided to create this page.
There is a Tradition or two in Wicca that look to a form of Goddess which they call the White Lady. However, the White Lady of which I speak is the innocent and pure White form of the Lady Freyja, my Saxon Goddess which I love, and She that watches over my family. The Lady and I have had numerous encounters. Most lie within the Dreamscapes, when it is said that the physical body is at rest and the mind and soul are allowed to travel into the recesses of all things spiritual. However, there have been a couple of memorable incidences in which the Lady chose to communicate with me, while I was in a state of physical awareness; these I will now relate. The first was before the holiday season in 2002. It was a few days before I was set to take a trip to visit with my sweetheart Steve in Canada for two weeks. I was walking from my school (where I attended at that point) to the bank, when suddenly I was overtaken with a vision. It wasn't the first time I saw the Lady, but it was the first time I truly recognized Her as my Lady Freyja. She beckoned me to follow Her, and I chased Her through the woods (mind I was still walking towards my bank, with my eyes closed, Goddess smiled upon me and kept me on the sidewalk and safe from cars). It was so real to me - I smelled the pine and willow and birch and assorted other trees around me. I felt the winds against my cheek (it was a calm day that day) as well as the branches that hit me as I ran through the thick undergrowth, and I heard the birds and the animals rustling around in the woods. We continued, with Her telling me but not telling me (I heard Her voice but She refrained from physically speaking) to come quickly, until I remembered where I was and what I was doing before the vision happened. I began to lose my faith and trust in Her guidance, and as my eyelids began to flicker in the vision I began to slow. We reached the edge of the woods and I proceeded to follow Her into a huge field full of tall, golden wheat. I tried desperately to find Her, but I did not prevail. At this point my eyelids opened, and I was standing on the corner of the block that my bank is on. I tried afterwards to get back into the vision, but alas I could not. The second of the two visions occurred just today (March 20th of 2003). I was walking to the bus station from the bank, after having gotten some money out to pay for a couple bills for my mother (she sent me the money, she is living in South Carolina now and therefore needed someone here to pay it for her) when I had the vision. I was walking along, when I found some sticks that had been blown down off of one of the trees over by that street. I looked, and one seemed really right for a staff; however, I don't have that much room, so I (after asking the Tree and the Goddess' blessings on the branch) broke off a length of about two feet or so. I carried it in my hand, and was very much excited about my find, hoping to take it home and empower it and perhaps use it as a wand, when suddenly my eyes closed and I was in that forest again. The White Lady was there, with me, only this time we seemed to be in a small clearing, one of the ones that I often use for a quiet meditation place in my mind. She smiled at me, and She said (this time speaking with Her mouth) "Come, child, and lay your stick upon the stone." She waved Her hand towards the large stone that sat in the middle of the clearing, the one that I often pray near. The really strange thing was, my eyes snapped open, and in the exact same spot as the rock was in my vision, lay a huge slab of broken cement that looked very much like it, and it was a slab that I had never noticed there before as well. I felt a touch strange, but I walked to the stone and gently laid down the wood on the stone, and then stepped back. Closing my eyes again, I saw the trees around the clearing begin to move and sway, and the Lady said, "Trees, grant your energies and blessings upon this wand." It was amazing - I literally saw the energy, this green mist swirl from the trees to the Wand lying on the stone. I was entranced, and then the strangest and most wonderful thing of all happened. The Lady walked over to me, and She whispered, "And bless also the One who carries it," and She kissed me gently on my forehead. I felt calm and jittery all at the same time, and the spot on my forehead seemed to go hot and cold all at once. She smiled at me, and then I opened my eyes from the vision. I picked up the stick and felt all at once the power within it. The Wand now lies in my bedroom, I do not believe that I even need to cleanse it because the Lady has done it for me. Twice, She has graced me with both Her presence and Her wisdom, and once She has touched me in a way that I will never forget as long as I live. Blessed Freyja, Beloved White Lady, Hallowed be'st thou forever. |
