A journey into the Lower World

I pm’d @Lady_Eva for her CS tutorial. For a while now I’ve been seeing via dreams and ‘other’ a white wolf. One morning, not too long ago, I looked out the window and I actually saw a wolf running down the street. In the city. It was huge. It was gliding, not trotting, like a dog. You can tell the difference in the way they move. Wolves are more graceful than dogs. It was almost floating. A whole ass friggen wolf was running, sorry, gliding, down the street at 5:00 AM. And no one else saw it but me because of course it was only me. And no, no one believes me that I saw it. I friggen saw it ok 
The appearance of the white wolf seemed to be coupled with me constantly running into posts about Lady_Eva’s CS tutorial, so I thought I would give it a go. I got a drumming track off of youtube and laid down in the dark. I laid there in silence for a bit to quiet my mind and then turned on the drumming and this is what followed…
I used the image of the tree above as a guide. It didn’t look exactly like that, but it did have the opening. The tree was very big and surrounded by a lush, green forest. Vivid greens and browns everywhere. It looked like it could have been a forest in the mountains. There was a light fog and morning sun rays breaking through the spaces in between the trees. The only word I can think of right now to describe the scent is ‘freshness.’ It was just fresh.
I stood looking at the tree for a moment. I walked up to the opening and felt around. I found a small hole in some exposed roots and crawled down. It was a bit of a tight squeeze, but I managed to get through. I ‘fell’ and landed on my feet. It was dark. I couldn’t see much. I smelled the damp earth and heard a faint sound of dripping water in the distance. It was a little bit cold, but not unbearable (I’m from Canada yo). There were a few very faint light sources from a few different spots.
I called out for my power animal. I felt some movement all around me. Like something was running/rushing around me. It didn’t feel threatening. It felt almost ‘excited.’ I kept turning to try to see it, but couldn’t at first. I ‘felt’ and also kind of saw other impressions around me. Figures. Maybe just watching in the distance. But, as Lady_Eva said in her tutorial, ignore everything else and focus on your power animal. That’s what you’re there for. So I did. I called out again, asking to meet my power animal.
In ‘flashes’ in the darkness at first I saw a mane. Then I saw a large paw. Finally, I saw its backside, running, with that distinct tail. And then he appeared. He sat in front of me, in full view. Illuminated by what, I don’t know, but his image was bright and clear.
A lion. I asked if he was my ally. He didn’t say anything, but I intuitively got a hard ‘yes.’ I walked up to him and touched his nose and mane. He kind of nuzzled me. I hugged him. Then I got on his back and we went back up and out of the hole. The squeeze wasn’t as tight this time.
When we were out of the hole, the area around the tree seemed to have a bigger clearing around it than before I went in and the sun seemed to be higher in the sky. I sat with him in the sun for a bit, just looking at him. I asked his name but I didn’t ‘hear’ one or get any intuitive impressions. I asked him to be my guide into the different worlds. I got another intuitive ‘yes.’
I asked him if there was anything he wanted me to know/show me. I had a ‘flash’ of the Sun tarot card. Then he looked up and motioned for us to climb the tree. I looked up and started climbing. He climbed with me. I followed him to a spot on a large branch, somewhere in the middle of the tree. We were facing each other. He motioned to an object on the branch. It’s personal, but I did pick it up and take it with me.
I went to keep climbing further up the tree but he quickly stopped me and jumped back to the ground with me. Like legit almost wrestled me to the ground. At this point I felt this journey was coming to an end, so I thanked him and told him I would be back again soon. I turned and started walking away and suddenly I was back in my room.
So, no white wolf. I guess I’ll have to figure out who that is at another time on another day. A lion was definitely unexpected, but I did feel an immediate closeness to him. I just wish I knew his name. Do they always have a name?
So I definitely recommend Lady_Eva’s tutorial to anyone interested. It was an awesome experience and I can’t wait to go back again.
