Rise of the Divine Feminine –Turtle Island

I had an interesting dream early this morning, where I knew I was out-of-body. In the dream, I was carrying a woman while she performed a wild dance in front of a large crowd. The crowd was dancing ecstatically with her. I was dancing too, but mostly trying to keep up with her movements while I threw her in the air.
The movements where quite challenging for me and very physical. As she descended from throwing her up in the air, her head would wobble off. The woman would gently rearrange her head on the top of her spine and we’d begin the dance all over again. The crowd went wild. She seemed undeterred by her head wobbling off.
As the dance began to wind down, the crowd slowly dispersed. I began to relax as my role as dancer was winding down too. I saw the crowd leave and I decided to go too.
I found a small ravine that led to a stream that was quite wide. I took my shoes off to cross the stream. When I did this I saw a turtle and I asked it if this was the best way to cross the stream. The turtle spoke out loud. It asked me, “Would you like me to give you a ride?” I felt the turtle speaking was so natural. I replied, “Yes, turtle, I would love a ride.”
At that precise moment I woke up. I knew I was headed for turtle island, a place I said I wanted to visit through astral travel with a dear friend in Florida. For us, turtle island is a real island in Fort Meyers, Florida. It’s a place on the Gulf of Mexico where turtles birth their eggs each season. Sea turtles come up from the Gulf and dig large holes where they will bury their eggs. It’s a sacred place to me and Linda, and we have done magic there. I only go there in the morning, because it’s cool then. The turtles go there at night and secretly dig their holes for their young must be born away from the ocean in order to survive.
Once, while walking in my favorite park in New Jersey, I saw a box turtle had come up from the crick. It was inland just a bit and busily digging a hole with it’s back legs. I knew immediately what it was doing. The turtle was going to give birth to its young and was digging a hole for the eggs. I saw this as magical communication that I would reach turtle island in my astral travels.
I see my dream as confirmation that I will reach turtle island in my astral travels. I plan to meet Linda there and do magic with her in my dream. She is a quite accomplished magician and I have faith now this trip will transpire. Or, maybe the dream was signaling me that I already arrived on Turtle Island and was just about to be transported to my friend. As out of body dreams go, it’s hard to ascertain what is really going on until you arrive at your planned destination.
Learning by doing is my main objective with out of body experiences. When I wake up in the middle of an intense and colorful dream, I immediately try to sleep again and place myself in the same exact setting. The talking turtle was still with me.
Animals speak to us all the time, albeit in their own language. It’s up to us to interpret them. This is why I call it the Rise of the Divine Feminine. These talents are present in all of us and need only be developed and practiced. Each night, I practice lucid dreaming in order to get better at it.
