Late reaction as your post made me ponder this. For me it was spirits, otherworld psychopomps, angels and ancestors watching over me in childhood. It was only when I turned 19 that I realised the Norse Gods had been there all along!

It's so beautiful, how so many sacred beings accompany us on our adventures in the material world.

I've always loved this painting of yours. I'm sorry to hear about your childhood, but glad the Dark Lady came to give you what you needed. Standing firm in our sovereignty has never been more vital than NOW.

What a great story! I love her claws. Makes me think of Sekhmet.

Lovely art, Laura! I too spent a childhood with imaginary friends and an imaginary brother, only to realize, in my crone years, that they were not imaginary, but rather, Others.

Thank you! And thank you for sharing your experiences. I suspect that a lot of people have had similar experiences, but it's not something most people talk about.

She is beautiful and I truly appreciate this personal share because the Morrigan has been on my mind. You are so blessed to have had her by your side when you most needed her.
