Thanks as always for such a wonderful resource. A few questions to you or the commenteriat if I may:
1. I am approaching the one year anniversary of moving into a new home which was a big step on our journey towards our "dream life". I'd like to perform some kind of house blessing as a way to give thanks for our journey and arrival here and to celebrate all the good years to come in our new home. I'd welcome any suggestions for simple ceremony or offerings or other such things. I am completely new to ritual magic so I understand that there are limitations to what I can do safely. We normally just have a bonfire on special occasions but I want to make this one a bit more special.
2. I was visiting my childhood home at the weekend and experienced a very strange dream. I was in a room and appeared to be surrounded by members of my family though I couldn't tell directly. The room had no specific character other than it's colour being an earthy clay. I had seen glimpses of a spirit within this room, after which a female mage had asked me for it's height and proceeded to press a finger to her head corresponding to its height. This aligned with her third eye chakra. She removed her finger under which I saw for a split second a perfect black circle infilled with red ochre. The witch hastened to avert my gaze but the image flashed in my mind and I began to "faint" in my dream having accidentally glanced at this symbol. Just as I was falling over, a large figure loomed into my vision as if to catch me from my fall. They were dressed in Renaissance style clothing with bright red and yellow colours much like the characters found in the Tarot de Marseille. My physical body was hyperventilating and likely experiencing sleep paralysis. My wife awakened me after hearing the commotion and I've been left wondering since.
My question is related to the specific symbols I saw in my dream and if I should consider performing any kind of banishment on a regular basis. I tried to follow the thread through the Tarot de Marseille (trying to identify the character) which lead me to Runes but I was unable to find that specific symbol (black circle with red infill). I'd welcome any recommendations on where I could begin my investigations. Or should I chalk this down to being *just* a strange dream and move on.
