As I've been doing more studying and trying to relax my mind into kind of a meditative type state, there are a few instances that happened to me that felt like they were coming from something divine, and maybe a goddess of sorts? I'll describe these experiences to see if anyone knows any associations off the bat so that I know how to address whatever has made contact with me.
So on the first time, I was riding on the bus, and I was feeling very down for some reason. At that time, I tried to meditate for a few minutes and tune in spiritually, and I just opened up and prayed to whatever was out there for some advice. At that moment, something akin to an incredible, indescribable peace swept through me, and it felt as if spiritually I was being hugged tightly. It really was a humbling, incredible experience that lifted up my day, and lasted for longer than I would have thought, and it felt as though the being who was there with me was female.
There was a second time, that was just last night, where I was reading in an introductory paganism book. At one point of reading I relaxed myself and was in a slightly meditative state (I couldn't be 100% meditative because I was on the job). I think I was reading something that had me thinking (perhaps incorrectly) that if a deity did try to contact me, even though it was a wonderful experience, they would probably find another way, or wait until I'm more spiritually mature, or something like that. However, once again soon after, I felt the same kind of presence hug me, and a huge peace went through my entire body. I cried a little at that and it kind of set the tone for the rest of the night to be good.
However, this time, there was something else that happened a little afterwards. After this being let go, I felt that she lingered around a bit, smiling with me. I had a feeling that she was reading from the page that I was reading out of, so I opened it up slightly so that we could share. While I couldn't see her directly, I thought she would have worn a very intricate dress like outfit, and seemed as if she could have been transparent? She left soon after, however.
And while she was lingering, and after she left, I still felt as if she left something of her presence behind that enveloped me and felt good, though it wasn't quite like when she was there.
A little while later, the book I was reading suggested to visualize what my view of a deity would be. Now, I'm not quite as positive if this part was more of a spiritual experience, or something that took place all in my mind. However, I'll leave all options out there at this point.
When I went into another semi meditative state, I viewed a deity that once again, was willing to hug people when they were sad. She would hold hands and walk alongside someone. She would participate in festivals and dance, and would even play a flute along with the musicians, and had no problem mingling with humans. When she would be done and out of sight, she would smile down at everyone and offer blessings for a prosperous life.
So now, I'm asking, does anyone have any ideas of who this deity might be? Moreso referring to the first two experiences, but if something could match up to the third one that could help too.
