Thread: Impersonating Deities is a bad idea....

This was a doozie, lasted a long while too. So its long… =P

So it starts out I am standing in a hole in the ground, I had a walkie talkie and a female voice was on the other side, she was a friend of mine, hell If I know who she was now though. =/ Well anyways she asked where I was and what I was doing; I said I was in a hole in the ground and wanted to know where she was. She replied that she was across the lake, I hopped up out of the hole and walked down to the shore of the lake, on the other side I could see her, driving a backhoe, yes… the heavy machinery a big yellow one, she looked like she was having a blast. Well I ran down the sandy beach and towards a spot where the lake narrowed to mebby about 10 feet or so. I ran as fast as I could, I was going to try and jump it; I figured I would just end up wet but it was warm out so I didn’t care. My friend had parked the backhoe and was watching laughing at me, saying I wasn’t going to make it.

I jumped and the jump held… I was dreaming… My dream-sign, flight WOHOOO!! I said it again “I’m dreaming!” She looked confused but laughed some more, I pulled myself upwards so far that that everything below me receded, I love that feeling =)

Flash

Back on the beach where I jumped, the backhoe wasn’t there, but there was a woman with me, her very presence was intoxicating very beautiful, yet I could not see her face properly her hair always seemed to get in the way and the most I caught was a slight profile but the beauty resonated from every aspect of her. She was wearing only a long sleeve button down shirt that was too big for her, so it kept her decent; it had a camouflage pattern on it. She took my hand and we ran to the edge of the woods, when we got there, she got behind me, we walked together almost as one, but she was facing behind me, I guess my pants vaporized =D I could feel her back to mine and her warm buns on mine, again her presence was almost overwhelming . We continued walking in this odd way, it was like she was the eyes in back of my head keeping watch? All of a sudden she darted out in front of me, (I had pants again now) she moved fluidly with grace and without a sound, like a deer almost, she ran a few yards out in front of me and froze just like a deer would when they notice someone watching them. The hunters, 4 of them, had their rifles trained on her, I shouted, “What the hell are you doing!?”

The rifles leveled at me now, one of them still on her, one of them spoke “What the hell are we doing? What are YOU doing here? You shouldn’t be here.”

“This is a national park, you can’t hunt here, and families with kids walk these paths! The ranger station is just down the way!”

One of the other hunters said, “You gotta be kidding me…”

The woman ran back towards me now and took my hand again, we were going to the ranger station, I told the hunters they had to come with us. The lot of us ended up at the ranger station; there were some other people there, 3 of my friends. I spoke with the ranger and we were trying to figure out how the hunters had gotten into the park area without noticing the no hunting signs, the hunters claimed there were no signs to be seen as they came in from the deep woods, the ranger and I agreed that this had to be fixed quickly before someone got hurt, another ranger was dispatched to the back perimeter of the park to investigate…Meanwhile, the hunters were speaking with another person at the station, they were filing out paperwork, I didn’t know what it was, one of my friends said “this could be trouble, they are contesting the usage rights to the park, we may loose it to them, unless we do something.” I walked over and they had Id tags and all sorts of paperwork lying out, I noticed their pictures looked like weird dogs… I could see the resemblance to their human faces... but something wasn’t right…

We were to have a contest, to determine who got the park. I looked around for the girl... I don’t know where she went…

We were split up at the start; each of us had different starting positions. The contest started and I took off like a bat out of hell, I ran up some steep hills which were in fact huge chunks of ice, it wasn’t cold out, (I've experienced this before, its weird, totally warm out and standing on a massive piece of ice up in Colorado) anyways, I ran up the incline and soon realized that it ended in a cliff, I was running too fast to stop now, I jumped, WHOOOOOOO!!!! Oh crap, I couldn’t fly I must have forgotten I could, (funny how the memory is in the dream world, mine is sketchy at best here so it’s a mess on that side, probably why I never remember names in the dream world) So there I was now rapidly falling the cliff was pretty big. There were a couple of other big outcroppings just like the one I had careened off of.

So I did what any other would have, I spun myself around in the air, and aimed my arm mounted multi-shot, bungee grappling hook at the point where I jumped off, the grapple embedded in the ice and the cord stretched taught and it slowed my forward momentum while bringing me down in an arc towards the face of the cliff, when I was at the midpoint in height I released the line and spun again aiming at another outcropping that was now level with me.

The grapple caught near the edge I was able to swing past the cliff face, my path to the ground was “S” shaped. I noticed one of my friends running along the ground a few yards off, looking up at me; he shook his head in disbelief. At the bottom point of the “S” I released the cord I was only a few inches above the ground so I was able to land in a run
It was fun as hell =D My friend and I ran together now, we came to a tree line and went into the woods. We were faced with a strange path, it was made of a bush that was springy and was spaced perhaps 4 or 5 feet apart, the bushes themselves were about 1 foot thick and about 6 foot wide, the ground 4 feet below was covered in thorny brambles. The bushes supported out weight but we were throwing the other off as the other side of the bush reacted oppositely… So stepping on one side compressed the side stepped on but expanded the other side, and if it wasn’t timed right…
I almost fell, my friend said, “Dude, this aint cutting it, we have to work this shit in unison!”

We found that by doing this we got extra spring and it launched us farther, so we had to do less jumping work, Off to our right a few hundred yards away I could see another of the same natural obstacle path and the hunters were traversing it, as we were, but not in unison.

We reached the end and came to a campsite like area, there was a small half pipe there and a building and a fire already shedding its warmth and light on the dimming day. I looked at the half pipe and said “Crap I wish I had my blades” Then smacked my forehead, and clicked my boots, two wheels popped out of the bottom, but they didn’t look like those cheesy ass ones that they have for real. I squealed with joy and messed around on the half pipe for a while, everyone had gotten to the campsite, it was a given that we were to all rest here for the night, and continue tomorrow.

Then I heard… “Dude! Beers! Hurry up before there gone!”

I hopped off the half pipe and ran over to the building, everyone was laughing as there was only one beer left, a Guinness bottle… I thought to myself, amateurs… They were all drinking piss beer in cans and thought Guinness was sludge, “How you gona open it?” Came the snide remark from one of the hunters, they were all sitting at a pick nick table on the other side of the camp. I laughed, took out my keys, and brandished my battered red bottle opener, popped the cap, and pounded the bottle in one shot in a couple of seconds. Everyone gawked and gave me that look that I get when I pound a Guinness; I held it up happily and said “Someone…Did their homework!” Went to put the bottle back down where I had taken it, but there was another Guinness sitting there… odd… it wasn’t there before…. “WOOHOOO Endless beer!” I cheered….I realized though… This was another test…

I went to the pick nick table my friends were at…”Ok here’s the deal,” I said quietly so the hunters wouldn’t overhear, “this is part of the contest, it is a test of will mind, we have an endless supply of beer, but if we get trashed we aren’t going to be in any condition to continue tomorrow, finish your first beer, and then nurse your second, don’t drink any more than that…”

We Bull shitted for a while I asked if anyone saw that girl I was with, none of them knew what I was talking about, and then one of them noticed something, “hey check it out...” he pointed to the hunters, one of them had taken his Camo jacket off, he was wearing a black shirt with a large brown circle in the front there was a figure in the middle that could clearly be seen even at our distance…”satanic druids?”

Just imagine it as a solid piece without the 0's and the separations….I will get into this character later

I grinned “I am going to mess with them” After a little while, we all decided to sit around the fire, everyone both teams, it was getting chilly out, I went to go take a leak, when I was done, I decided it was time.
I remembered again, and I flew up a few feet and flew back into view over the fire, everyone freaked out, the hunters eyes wide but they knew what they were looking at my voice boomed and I pointed to the hunters “I am your lord master, you have displeased me! Leave this place it is not for you!” I guess I looked like their deity? I duno, they seemed pretty freaked out, except the guy with that shirt on, he looked at me with level eyes, he wasn’t buying it, I started messing with the fire, I pulled it up in a pillar about 30 or so feet and sucked it into my hand and then spat it back out in a huge ball of fire, I didn’t light up any trees, we were in a clearing, I did this for a bit and laughed maniacally… and floated off away from the site through the trees, I landed and chuckled at myself thinking how clever I was.

There she was, sitting on a log, still dressed as before, it was dark but I could see without problem. “There you are” I said as I walked to her.

Something wasn’t right… my breath wheezed, I stumbled, my vision blurred, I managed to sit down next to her my breathing labored, “I guess messing with the fire took a lot more out of me than I thought” I laughed, weakly which changed to a cough.

I was dying.

It felt as if the life was being sucked from my spirit and body, I leaned on her, but she didn’t move, didn’t say a word as usual, and my head fell in her lap, and I fell to the ground, I felt dry, thin…it felt like there was things crawling on my skin what the hell was happening to me…

“Help me…”

She didn’t move a muscle, she just watched me die… Survival instincts kicked in, she wasn’t going to help me, and I crawled my way to the campsite, when I came within the ring of light one of my friends saw me… “Oh shit…”

They ran over to me, the hunters just watched from the fire.
“What the hell is wrong with him?”
All I could mutter was a wheezing “help me”
Crap, look, through my blurred vision I could see my arms had what looked like crayfish on them, they yanked them all off, “quick get his clothes off” On my leg there was a mollusk looking thing, a leach it was black, and had attached itself to my calf, my friend yanked it off and stomped on it.
I started blacking out…
“What was that!?”
“It’s called a help me”
“What?”
“Because that’s pretty much all you can say before you die, if it’s not removed”

….

I woke up in a room, it was box shaped, I could hear light saber noises… some one was watching star wars I guess, I sat up, my head spun but I focused and I saw some pudgy geeky lookin kid playing light saber with an umbrella, it even popped open on him and he still wielded it around like a weapon…

I looked down, I was on a bunk bed, I swung my legs over, something moved, and I saw a crayfish on the headboard of the bed I was on… God no not more… I bowed my head in prayer, “dear goddess, please protect me from this darkness, please keep me safe until I understand”



Ok… So that’s when I woke up… There are some things that I realized when I woke up.

The symbol is a rune of the Elder Futhark, but it’s backwards the point should be facing the other side, it’s called

Thurisaz: the strong one, the esoteric interpretation of the name Ása-Thórr is the enemy of unfriendly forces; ideographic interpretation is the hammer or the thorn on a branch

Thurisaz is the directed cosmic force of destruction and defense. It is the archetypal instinctual will, without self-consciousness. The TH rune is a symbol of lightning and thunder and is equated with Mjöllnir

(Some geek trivia, that’s also the Code name of the Amour the Master Chief wears in Halo)

The hammer of Thórr. This weapon is the destroyer of etins and the protector of Midhgardhr and Asgardhr. Thórr is in many ways similar to the giants in his size and brute strength and is therefore ideal as a counterforce to them (This is referring to the Blue skinned Giants Lost soul has seen…) Thurisaz is the forwards thrusting force of destruction of powers hostile to cosmic order. These hostile powers are not morally evil in the Judeo-Christian sense of the word they are merely detrimental to the established and instinctual life urge exemplified by the Æsir and expressed by mankind Just as the Thorn protects the rose, so too does Mjöllnir protect Midhgardhr and Asgardhr.
It is the container of the life death polarity it is the ultimate power to assimilate potential energy of two extremes of kinetic energy into a pattern of action Thurisaz is a project able form of applied power. Thurisaz is also a rune of regeneration and fertilization as the lightning heralds the crop brining rains.

This was taken from Futhark: A handbook of rune magic.

So I don’t really know what It could mean that it was reversed on his shirt and if a satanic druid is even possible… =/

Another symbol… The crayfish, Native American legends near Crater Lake tell of a Giant crayfish (they look like little lobsters about 5 inches long maximum though…if you don’t know what they are)
The Giant crayfish was Lau, the god of the underworld.

The girl… I don’t know… The camo shirt, perhaps she is hidden from me normally? Is she the one I am searching for? Or was she the Goddess herself? That’s another thing, I’m not Wicca per say, I mean I like some of their ideas, but I haven’t really read up on the religion and I have never invoked the Goddess to help me, and if she was the goddess why didn’t she help me when I was dying? A hard lesson learned? I am glad I had my friends there to help me... I duno… this was just a kicker of a dream, I thought I would share in hopes that some of you might have any further insight, if you’ve made it this far, you get a gold star =D
