This morning during meditation I wanted to practice my clairvoyance. So I asked my spirit guides to show me pictures. I sat quietly as images drifted in front of my vision: angel wings. a bird skull. faces of people. a cat. The longer I sat, the more things moved from vague, dark outlines of things to full color. After sitting like that for a bit, I asked my guides to show me scenes from a past life. Specifically I asked to see scenes from my life as a Druid, as I was told that was one of my past lives by a medium I recently met.
What I saw was from a first-person perspective. I was shown the inside of a circular dwelling. The walls were crisscrossed with timber. In front of me was a flat mortar sitting on top of a rock. It had pine needles and berries in it. In the center of the room was a fire ring. I looked up and saw a hole in the middle of the ceiling for the smoke to escape. On one side was an arched doorway. The opening of the doorway was covered with animal hides. I was given the sense that the concoction in the mortar was going to be ground into a paste, which would then be applied to my face in preparation for a ceremony of some sort.
I found this quite intriguing. I searched for ancient Celtic dwellings and this was the summarized description:
'Ancient Celtic dwellings, especially in Britain and Ireland, were predominantly circular roundhouses, built with timber frames, wattle-and-daub walls (woven saplings plastered with mud, clay, and straw/dung), and conical thatched roofs, featuring a central hearth for heating and cooking.'
Y'all. I know precisely zero about ancient Celtic culture. I had no idea this was the form of dwellings at the time. Once again I am blown away by the validation of what I'm being shown as a medium.
