I've had this plenty of times.
It is feeling the love of the Gods, and the feeling is lifechanging. I don't think anyone who felt this will abandon the path.
I've felt this with Father Zeus, in deep meditation of His sigil, a knowing and sensation that God is always within me, with me and all around me. It is like being held by water in the middle of an ocean, floating.
I also felt this with Mother Astarte, a motherly love and energy that I gravely lacked in my childhood.
For some that are dealing with guilt and change, this can also feel like it is scolding, but never in a negative or harmful way.
When meditating on Mother Astarte's sigil, I was and still am brought to unbelievably ugly tears in meditation, knowing the mistakes I made in life and the trauma that brought me to some very dark places, of which my closest friends here know about.
But the tears weren't of guilt, they were of knowing there was a side of me that is beyond the circumstances that brought me to make those mistakes. A sense of accountability comes, and drives you to genuinely make a change for the better, with no pointless guilt tripping.
