I have been attracted to shamanism for a while. I have been reading up on guides, rituals, trances, etc for six or more months. Last night was my first contact with the realm. I was dropped into tall grass and animals appeared and left faster than I could recognize them. That was until the wild dog came. He told me that he was an aspect of myself: loyalty, independance, ferocity. I conversed with him for a while. I told him I was thirsty and he led me to a stream. I asked if he was hungry. He said yes and then proceeded to feed off of something inside my head. Naturally I was alarmed, as I neither knew what he was eating nor his true intentions. What should I do concerning the wild dog? Many thanks.
