I am very new to this. Just a disclaimer.
Recently I've been feeling nostalgic about my childhood home, especially about the birch trees I had in my backyard/forest. I loved those trees. I had some vivid dreams about them.
I've also been wondering about who/when/if a god or goddess was going to happen. I see a lot of people on here talking about that so it seems to be a big part of this (norse shamanism).
I figured I'd see if birch trees had any significance, and they have a lot, apparently. Frigg came up and though I love my mythology and history, I hadn't seen her before.
It was kind of scary to be honest just how much of her life I have lived and how much of my life she seems to have been present for. I'm a coincidence kind of person but this is just.... a lot. I didn't know this kind of thing could be so blatant. I have spent some time with myself on this and decided to run with it.
She spoke with me. I didn't think this was possible but it happened. It felt real. She told me things I don't want to admit to myself rather bluntly. It was kind of like talking to a mother figure. I'm just rambling now but the whole point of this is..
I'm not just being overly ambitious and putting on a show for myself because I read about how deities are a part of this and wanted in on it, am I? Because this is happening really fast and I am pretty freaked out.
I just want to know if this is real.
You obviously have a deep connection with this deity. Keep in touch with her, this is a good thing. A relationship with a deity is a very personal thing, and it can be very beautiful.
As for birch trees, they've been well known to very sacred trees.
There're usually mentioned in articles with oak and hawthorn trees as being very sacred to the ancient craft peoples.
They're also linked with the "fae".
Do some research, Ellen Dugan explains a lot of this in her many , many books over plants.
