This is my first post since my intro a week or so back. In my old home I had an area in my backyard that I considered my Pagan altar. I wasn't clear on what I intended to do with it, as I wasn't clear on what I truly believed, or what I wanted to accomplish. We got a bigger house two years ago which has a lot of landscaping in the back. I kind of hated leaving the old place because of the altar I had built up, it wasn't something I could move with me. (Although I did bring one special rock). Just lately I got interested in the idea of the Gallo-Roman religion. Basically worshiping the Roman pantheon, with a Gallic influence. This is a new evolving idea, but it excited me. At this time I found the perfect place for my new altar in my backyard. I don't know why I hadn't noticed the lay-out, the large boulders, the trees...It's like I just suddenly looked at my backyard with new eyes & saw what I needed to do.
Last weekend I bought the stuff I needed & was wheel barreling it around the side of my house to get started. I was intent on my work, not particularly thinking about anything religious. As I pushed my wheel barrel around the side of my house I saw a figure standing on one of my back decks. The deck is about 6 foot off the ground with a large oak tree growing through the middle of it. A tall figure in blue & white robes with longish brown hair w/beard was standing in front of the oak tree. I think this figure had a crown, but I'm not sure about that. I looked at it for just a second & it was gone. I wasn't startled at all by what I saw. I took it to be a sign that I was on the right path. I cannot say who this being was, but I'm sure it was one of the Gods. It's probably not necessary to say this, but I will anyway. I don't have a wild imagination, I don't see ghosts or spirits. This was an unusual thing for me, but as I said I wasn't the least startled. Advice or comments would be welcome...Borgia
