Itā€™s one of my own lol. I was guided by my Fey ally in creating it. Itā€™s a bit of a shortcut into the Mounds and the Unseelie Court. It allows for a stronger faster connection.

Too bad this is closed Iā€™d loved to be on this journey.

I might open up some more free spots again in the future. Not near future most likely, but they will probably pop up from time to time. So keep an eye out.

Will do for sure. As this is an area of intrigue for me that was hard to fid any solid information on in the past.

Thatā€™s part of the reason I started my whole path with the fey. Fluffy Tinkerbell stuff was prevalent, but not much deeper than that. So I figured if I wanted solid information that I could use, I had to channel it myself. I donā€™t take full credit though, I started by diving head first into the Feri Tradition of Witchcraft and started adapting from there based on my own UPG and contact with the hidden folk.

I have been guilty of not diving in as well, for one I thought if they were interested in me, they would make it known.

But for two, my custody hearing is Thursday, so I should have a better idea on what my schedule will be like, and intend to start a dive shortly after that.

I moved this to general discussion. Iā€™m still recovering from my accident and wonā€™t be opening this again just yet. But one thing my goblin spirit friend has made clear is that I need to continue the work. This rite is a small part of a much larger task I am working on. Now that itā€™s been tested Iā€™m comfortable letting more people see it and asking questions or whatever.

Iā€™m very late with this, but tonight I finally used the Goblin Key.

The journey wasā€¦bizarre, and I donā€™t know if anything was accurate, or if it was just imagination. since Iā€™ve never been to a fairy mound before, and Iā€™m still woozy from the trance but this is what happenedā€¦

I put on a shamanic drum track and laid down on my bed, relaxing into a light trance. I visualised the Goblin Key in the darkness above me, and as I drifted into trance, it became bigger, and bigger until it enveloped me.

I found myself in a dining hall. It looked very medieval, with a wooden table and chairs, with lit torches along the wall. The table was empty, and there was no one around. I walked to the far end of the room and found a staircase leading down so I followed it to a landing. To my right was a wooden door, and when I opened it, I found myself in a field of bright flowers. I stepped into the field a bit, but stopped. I heard the sound of a waterfall, and decided to go back to the landing, and try to find someone. Once I had closed the door to the field, I continued following the stairs down until I came to another, wider landing and another door. I opened it, and stepped into a bedchamber.

A very attractive young maiden sat on the bed, in a gossamer gown, brushing her hair. She looked up at me and smiled, laying her brush aside. I apologised for intruding, and called her ā€œmā€™lady,ā€ which caused her to laugh (her laughter was very musical) and say, ā€œOoo, so formal.ā€

She walked up to me, and I could see that she was slightly taller than me, around 6 feet, and very well built, if you know what I mean. She walked around me, looking me over, and telling me how I had been expected to arrive earlier. Then she smelled me, and a quizzical look passed over her face. She said I didnā€™t smell angelic, or demonic, or Fae, but something else that she couldnā€™t place. She leaned in very close, and I was struck by the bright blue of her eyes, the kind of blue a man could happily drown in. I involuntarily took a step back and she laughed again. It was a lovely sound.

She asked me about what I saw before I got to her room, and I told her about the field of flowers. A shadow fell across her face and she asked me if I had smelled the blossoms, and I shook my head. She let out a sigh, and told me that if I had, they would have put me to sleep for a hundred years.

She then grabbed my hand, and pulled me towards a door recessed into the far wall of her chamber. She led me through a dark tunnel that opened up into a meadow, in the centre of which was a very large tree. The tree was so enormous that it could have been the World Tree.

We sat on a stone bench just to the left of the tree. She continued to grip my hand, and told me she had brought me there so we could talk without ā€œthose who watchā€ eavesdropping. She then proceeded to tell me about the powerful forces that move behind my life. She did not know what they were, only that they were ā€œolder even than the Faeā€ and had plans for me (I know, I know, it sounds like something from a D & D game to continue the quest lol)

After that, she told me that I should leave, but to visit again soon. I asked her name and she gave me one, saying it was not her True Name, but that she would respond to it when I called it. She then stood up, began to walk away, deeper into the forest. She turned back to me, and again bade me to leave, so I bowed to her, eliciting another laugh, and then followed my path back to the dining hall. I visualised the Goblin Key again and opened my eyes.

It felt like at least an hour had passed but it was only about 20 minutes. I hadnā€™t even completed the full drum track.

Holy hell, thatā€™s a lot to unpack, but it sounds completely on par with what I experienced the first time I met my Fey familiar. When. I entered the mound for the first time I found myself in a torch lit hallway and ended up in a feast hall like the one you described.

The tree is also something I have encountered. It is a central point of power, from my experience sitting at itā€™s base.

Thank you so much for posting all of this! Itā€™s not just good to see people using it, but itā€™s very validating to my work!

Great! I wasnā€™t sure what to expect, so Iā€™m happy to see that what I encountered resonates with your own experience :slight_smile:

Alright folks, Iā€™ve recovered enough from my previous accident to finally dive into ritual again. So Iā€™m going to open up two slots for anyone who wants to undergo the Changeling Rite. This is a limited time frame as I will be doing it tomorrow night at about 10pm EST.

If you donā€™t know what this is, read the rest of the thread before claiming a slot.
