r/Shamanism

Nothing like this has ever happened to me in my life, idk if it ever will again. I met a shaman today while I was running errands. He started a conversation with me while I was in the store and said that I have very strong lineage, culture, ancestors. That I have a very bright spirit and asked very specific questions that aligned with exactly how I’ve been feeling. He mentioned a female, grandmother spirit, that’s guiding me - this is the part I’m not sure how to go about or what to feel or think.

Back story: Lately I’ve been doubting if I’m where I should be in life. My job is mundane and I feel like I’m on autopilot a lot. I’ve been seeing repeated numbers a lot in the past few months and haven’t been sure about whether or not that means something. That being said, I’ve also been really feeling my late grandfather’s spirit. He passed away almost 2 years ago and I hadn’t felt his spirit in a year or so. I don’t know how exactly to describe it, but I know he’s been around lately telling me things will be okay. It brings me peace and I’ve been telling myself that even if it’s fake and in my head, at least it gives me peace and have sat with that for the last few months.

Fast forward to today: I was running some errands and a gentleman started a conversation with me. We talked for a while.

He started the conversation by touching on the energy I expel and that it’s very bright and overall engaging and that I have a very strong lineage. He then went on to tell me the numbers that I’ve been seeing have meaning and they’re real. I didn’t bring these numbers up at all, he did, and then he suggested I look into numerology (I think is what he called it) and it just validated me because I’ve been brushing these numbers off. I keep seeing 444 or variations of 4 repeated or 5 repeated and just tell myself it’s timing.

I’m a bit confused though after thinking about the next comment and I wish I asked more about this but there were people around. He said there was a strong grandmother spirit guiding me. I’m not sure about grandmother, but could this apply to my grandfather? My mom was adopted, so my grandfather is not technically part of my biological ancestry, I’m not sure if that impacts the guidance aspect. If I’m thinking too far into it and there *is* a grandmother spirit, how do I research into this more? I have no idea where I’d even start since my mom was adopted. I have her birth name, but I have very very little info. I also want to do everything safely and have seen that there can be dangers to ancestral work..

Lots more was said in this conversation that seriously resonated, but these two things really stuck out to me and I don’t want to make this post any longer than it already is. Please let me know if you have any insight on the ancestor comment. This feels extremely surreal and I think I’m in shock. It feels like I experienced a very spiritual moment out of nowhere.

Hi. Other reditors recommended I come here for this question, I'm new here please guide me with this query.

So, there is this person with dark blue hair and blue eyes and tattoos running across his left arm of blue swirls like waves. And I have been seeing him in dreams since childhood and it's been about 13 years now. He has saved me in my dreams from a burning house, a shadow man and more. But long before now he told me I shouldn't meet him again, and didn't give the reason.

And then, when I forced a lucid dream couple of years later, I saw him chained and he was in anguish and he told me to go away as if meeting him would give away my location to entities who might want to harm me.

And then, in one more instance, he revealed to me, he might be of an Old God origin, somewhere from the extreme North.

Also, I have a feeling we were romantically together in our past lives and we are soulmates.
