The Noble Pagan Forums - Quick! Follow that Niggle!

*hugs da Krispy*

You no more nutty than I am.....heehee!

Here is another Niggle story of sorts ( up there with your Pineapple )

So I was cleaning out my altar one day and me friend Ric was over. While going through items a pink candle popped out.
ME!
Uhmmm okay....
"HIM!!"
Sure....
So I gave it to Ric.
"It says it wants you"
-Your candle talks to you.....? <----with an eyebrow raised
"uhm yeah no. It wants you though. Oh yeah and the message with it is Use It When You Need It Most"
-What?
So I repeated it and explained I had no further details.
Of course he thought I was crazy. He actually kept it and this bit me in the ass years later because he has all the magical know how and capability of a stubborn nail.

Pink is used for love, friendship, relationships, healing, kindness, compassion, femninine energy blah blah blah. For the self or for others.
One night he decided he wanted to attract his soul mate.
He played some depressing Evanescence song on repeat for hours ( one of those self defeating tracts), prayed to Aphrodite and lit the Pink Candle.
Did I mention that in essence he was spell casting and using ALL THE WRONG ELEMENTS because he was only semi aware of what he was doing?
Needless to say the relationship he got lasted only four months, he could na let go for well over a year AND in the end he blamed ME for hexxing him and his relationship.

Nice huh?

Look buddy...don't shoot the messenger if you fuck up the details and mechanics.

LOL!

Well there are quite a few some meaningful and some with less significant situations I can clearly remember....

it is still a work in progress. When I was younger, I didn't trust it per se or rather know what was going on. There were many times that I would have many signs and/or things jumping out at me, but I didn't listen. Still a bit freaked out. I ran into a few situations that could have been avoided if I would have just listened. After a few too many, second guessing, life lessons, mistakes etc....I LEARNED I HAD BETTER START NOT SECOND GUESSING MYSELF, and just trust my intuition/gut and/or thoughts.

It has become second nature for the most part. It is a lot stronger, when it comes to things that effect me, my family and close friends (and/or their family that they care about). THis I really don't mess with, it's time to listen up for all parties involved.

The times that it is off or bites me a little is when it comes to other people not so close to me. I have come to learn lately, that it seems this is because people are putting up walls emotionally speaking, false facades or something else. This is what I am working on to figure out. Why I can be so dead on, know shit, etc etc etc....but these situations are half right and/or I am picking up shitz for and about couple people at a time (both living and spiritual world). But other peoples emotions that I am not in tune with just can be off a bit.

A few examples...

One night, I was going to pick up Sammy aka Samhein aka my better half from a the bar or after hour party. I felt the need to just wait a minute or two, no rush. As I am crossing/driving past the graveyard, a drunk hits some black ice or something. Blows the stop sign, almost barely avoids jumping the curb and hitting a power pole. Had I left just a little earlier, I probably wouldn't be sitting here. I barely avoided, nasty wrecked that would have kicked me.

Another time I can remember recently, I needed to go to the grocery store the night before thanksgiving (year or two ago). I had to wait 5 minutes, don't hurry again. I just missed a armed robbery at the grocery store.

Sammy and I, felt the need to go visit his mom before she lost her battle with cancer. We had other plans, but we both said at the same time it was time to go visit. She was the most clear headed, with with the pain meds and everything else she was on. And was talking that it was time..she died just a few days after.

I KNEW my daughters due date. I knew she was gonna to be born on Dec 8th, the same day as a friend. I KNEW she was going to be a girl, even though I had to really pee better the ultra sound, and the tech was bitching at me for it. BUT I had to pee, I didn't need for her to tell me the sex. I already knew.

Our friend's dad (Pa), went to the ER last New Year's night. We all showed up and partied/eat etc. His mom (Ma) stayed home to cook etc for those last few hours, because that was her stress relief at the moment. Around friends and family...I stop everything, stared at the stove clock, barely breathing, ignoring everyone...they knew something was happening. Six minutes after my trance w/e, the call came telling that he had a stroke and seizure etc. And that it was touch and go for those six minutes. Ma broke down, and I was there to calm her down. MA and PA knew that I can do this and they are somewhat sensitive to these things.

These are just a few, there are many other situations like this too many to count. I am not going to say I am psychic, maybe I am maybe I am not. But until I can hone it in, and it is right when it comes to other people and where it is coming from, it still is a work in progress.

My mother had a sixth sense about her. She on many occasions warned or strictly prohibbited things from happeneing and was never wrong. I have learned over the years to trust Sara's "premonitions" she is also rarely if ever wrong when she tells me to avoid this or that she has a funny feeling something is gonna happen. I guess i dont think i have any extra perceptions but can say i am amazingly street smart and tend to work off gut instinct alot of the time. They say u look to marry your mother and maybe i did in that sense .

Adamslaw and I experienced a niggle together just last night. We were sitting on the floor at Borders bookstore. We had four books laying in front of us, trying to decide which ones to get. We settled on two and Jon put the other two back on the shelf. He then added the titles of those two books to a list in his phone so we wouldn't forget that we were interested in them. When he was done, he stretched to reach for another book that caught his attention. When he sat back, one of the books he had returned to the shelf was back on the floor in front of him. Jon was pretty blown away and brought it to my attention. My response was "I guess it wants us to buy it". I called CelticSpider to see if she had read it before, but she hasn't. So we went with the niggle and bought the book.

The book:
Wiccan Beliefs & Practices, with Rituals for Solitaries & Covens
by Gary Cantrell

On our way out of the store, Adamslaw told me that one other thing in his life was a niggle. Perhaps if we annoy him enough with our pleading, he will share the story...?
