I've been hesitating upon the subject of sharing any of my personal stories uptil now.
I dont know why but it just havent felt natural to talk about any of my personal spiritual experiences...
I guess i just needed time to get to know the avalon community before, but now I feel ready.

To start off with, Im a swedish boy that grew up quite far out in the forests of northern Sweden, and I have had loads of different spiritual experiences that I really didnt understand until I reached a certain age.

So here is my story.


I have grown up in a calm family of very spiritual people that I suspect that I have been around with for several hundreds of years, my dad especially Is a person that i feel like i have known for several centuries...

And during me growing up I was exploring deep forests in northern Sweden with my brother and we always were always exploring the woods around our home.

During the late falls we often saw auroras which I always felt connected in some way, I was always connected with the woods and its deities.
Always being around beeings of the woods has always been a part of my Life, things like wood spirits and gnomes, I often saw things moving about on our property.


But anyway with the main story of this post.

When I was about thirteen years old, I entered a store that sold fishing supplies and fish pets, while my brother was preoccupied with watching all the fishing supplies, I went to watch for the pet fish tanks that had its separate corner in the store, I know that I met a friendly spirit of some sort, because out of nowhere a person that seemed a couple of years younger than me, maybe about five years younger, but in any case, the person touched my chest and I felt a strange sensation like I met a friend, like a friend from years past...

It was so strange because I felt like I was safe for the first time in my life, I have connected with another deity that i could not identify as something i recognize...
I mean I am only a person made out of the basic elements, flesh and bones with a spirit.

This person touched my chest with both hands, and I felt like my body was an impenetrable fortress with no limits, and then when I looked to my brother on the other side of the store,I was dumbfounded by what I should have said, and by the time I gathered the amount of courage to look back again down my chest, the deity was gone, and I was left with a question of what it was and what the meaning was of this encounter.


I wish that I would have been able to explain it in more detail, but as is said, it was several years ago when I was just a boy, I didn't know anything about any of the things that I have researched and know today.


Thank you for reading.

Hi Sam - at the moment I am reading a book of Icelandic folklore - it is a small notated study of folk tales about elves and other fae folk with links to stories from Sweden and the UK.

Perhaps you had an encounter with one of these?

They were quite common in many cultures, some until not too long ago - these days - and especially in Western culture such things are scoffed at. However in Iceland people are still very close to the hidden people.
