Today is the Feast of the #Annunciation.

This 1270s illustration was inserted into a #14thCentury #psalter now owned by #StJohnsCollege at #CambridgeUniversity - where red is the college colour; hence the name of the #blazer. Note the magnificent red & gold wings of the #ArchangelGabriel in this wonderful depiction!

St. John of the Cross explains the need to persevere in prayer, citing the Archangel Gabriel’s message to St. Zechariah, “because God had heard his prayer;” then John emphasizes: “God had always heard that prayer.”

How did you meet the first deity that approached you? If you approached your first deity, how did it go? I want to hear your stories!!!

Archangel Gabriel was always around, but I don’t remember when he started popping up. He came around with Archangel Michael, both telling me it was for my protection. During this time is when I had the most paranormal experiences.

Lilith, however, was different.

I wanted to work with Artemis. She’d come from time to time with messages like a few other deities did, but she never seemed to want to work with me so I ended up giving up on looking for a deity and focused on studying.

I started reading up on draconic witchcraft and soon after, read a bit about Lilith within some of those books. Small signs started popping up and I had a feeling it was her, but back then, I did not trust my intuition. After the subtle signs and my increasing confusion, I said outright; “listen,
I’m a fucking idiot and am blind. If you’re Lilith and you’re trying to tell me you’re here, you’re going to have to be bluntly obvious.

The following week, I got hit with her name several times and even…. Literally… got hit in the face with one. I didn’t mean that obvious, but it worked and when I finally figured it out, we talked and I have been working with her since as my Matron.
