Bastet--Buy one, get... everyone else.

@mcm442 Understanding which weapons mean for you really depends on your role. For example, a shield is primarily defensive, so you'll need to figure out what your role is. While you might find it awkward and clumsy, many others benefit greatly from it. Hehe. I can’t speak on soul swords or their training since I don’t have experience with them, and you might end up with a different type of soul sword weapon altogether. The purpose of soul sword training, especially from the practitioner you had in mind, is to help you identify your weaknesses in combat, whether that’s related to your position or the types of weapons you face, etc. So, it may not be another shield, or it can be. You never know.

A poor practice is seeking confirmation from others about your own connections. A good practice is to trust Goddess Bastet to guide your journey.

You don't have to tiptoe around things anymore. I’ll be very honest here, as I always am, while keeping things somewhat vague to avoid stepping on toes (although the Universe has actually provided all the names). You know I work intensively with the Universe, or what you might call the Divine. If I’m meant to share insights with you or anyone else, I’ll receive that information regardless of whether you speak about it to a single soul or not. The Universe tends to reveal the underlying issues and their causes.

This situation isn’t really an issue. It became one due to certain readings. Very negative discussions arose because people genuinely care about you and want the best for you. However, you need to tell them to stop because this is your journey, and only you and your Keep truly know what’s best. Bringing it up is not helping you in any shape or form. Which is why I stress that it’s not a good idea to seek confirmation from others about your own connections.

A very few individuals sparked this “main issue,” and many others jumped on board thinking they were acting in your best interest, and that what was said was best for you too. But there’s no conflict between you and Goddess Bastet, nor between her and the Divine, despite what those readings suggested. The Universe has shown me that these readings provide the same answer, and contradict what I’ve shared here, which is why you find yourself in this situation. Again.

It reminds me of the “fenrir issue,” where everyone else confirmed yes with flying pots and pans, while I was the only one who said no because I knew it would negatively impact your Keep’s dynamics. Everyone means well in both cases of course, so let’s move forward without any concerns. Zero issue whatsoever, so you don’t have to find ways to “work through things.” You know what I mean.

Regarding that weird human who showed up, you encountered him during your astral travel. He’s a “wannabe sage” who likes to give unsolicited advice as part of his game. Lol. He does this 3-4 times a week, and travels astrally offer his insights to random people he meets along the way. This is roleplaying at its finest if you’d ask me. Lol. If he shows up again, feel free to block him out. He doesn’t mean harm, or have any bad intention, he’s just a weird individual. That’s all. You can listen if you want, but treat it like noise, aka let it go in one ear and out the other. Also, he’s different from the spirit that another Keeper encountered. They’re two very different beings. This other spirit (not an entity) doesn’t have shapeshifting abilities and simply takes on several different forms.
