Many years ago, I had a dream visit from a young Elvish King, I was sound asleep and felt someone poke me in the back. I thought it was one of my children wanting to climb into bed from a scary dream, but when I opened my eyes, I saw no one. I thought it strange because I felt the poke in my back, where did it come from? I decided it must be from a dream visitor, so I looked inwardly to see if there was anyone there. I saw a shining elvish King who had poked me awake! He was incredibly beautiful with fair features and a golden crown and luminous threads of clothing adorning him. We did not exchange any words or messages, he was showing himself to me, and letting me know he was there.
I later began dreaming with my Grandfather Hans Pedersen, who is Danish. We only met once when I was a young child, but I remember his kindness. In dreaming he stood before an ancient stone, and said some words over it and beings like lightning bugs appeared flying in a circle over the top of it. The ceremony went n for what seemed like along time in the dream, and I knew I was in the company of an ancient magic, that was part of my lineage.
In a more recent visit over the Christmas Holidays in 2024, the Elvish King came into my dream following a request to assist me with a big grant project I had been toiling over that was due the next day. I incubated an intention that the grant would go through and be awarded. When I closed my eyes, I immediately saw his presence coming through an ancient tree with spirals in the roots and trunk. The tree opened and the Elvish King emerged into my dream. He stood within two pillars of blue light streaming forth on either side of him. His crown held four pillars of the same blue light. He had a long white beard and hair, and his ears were pointed as well. He was reaching out to me with this energy, and when he did, I could see behind my closed eyes the flash of blue energy that was flitting about my physical space. I opened my eyes to see a luminous blue light streaming around the airstream trailer (called the Dream Stream) where I was staying near the Dragonfly Trail in Southern New Mexico. I took this visitation as a sign that my dream request had been answered.
Today, when I woke, the first thing I read was a story about an Old Norse language called Elfdalian spoken by only 3000 people in a small providence in Sweden. I later learned that the grant had been awarded that was submitted from the Dream Stream trailer on the Dragonfly Trail, and then discovered today is National Dragonfly Day. The synchronicities and messages just keep coming to remind me of my good fortune and to honor the ancestors and more than human relatives collaborating in this world, and the otherworld. Today, I honor the Blessings of the Ancestors, and I welcome the opportunity to collaborate with them in dreaming and waking realities. I’m eternally grateful for the gifts they share!
