(appologies in advance for the length)My name is connor thompson, im just about to turn 18. Im not a satanist, and im not really a christian, but i dont hate either one, any whoo back to my point. i talked to a few people on here a while back about some questions. Throughout most of my life i felt i had been targeted by a demon, in my dreams, while i was awake, i could always sense it when it came into the room. i have been physically attaked, in that ive been punched in the face, didnt get much sleep that night. it especially got bad when i offered to sell my soul to save someone elses life who was terminally ill with cancer. lets just say she was completley opposite of a satanist. i started having dreams after i offered to sell my soul, something came and harrassed me, i didnt sleep, i didnt eat, and i thought i was losing my mind, maybe i was schitzo, or just crazy. it got so bad i debated killing my self, almost did. after she died things got worse for a while, but i had one semi final confrontation with it, and i beat it by not fighting it, and simply not allowing my self to react to it. any ways things cleared up for a while and for the first time in my life i wasnt scared to go to sleep at night, but i started looking for answers about what the hell it was that had followed me for all those years( and finally the story returns to where it began), so i came here. i told someone my story and i asked what they thought. i am already somewhat knowledgeable in religious topics (not to toot my own horn, but beep) because of everything that's happened to me because of all the research Ive done. But when i asked someone on here they asked Azazel for me, and they told me it was a test which i had already figured (but the debabtability of my sanity is still in question) and that it had something to do with my family. she also said she felt what ever it was presence when she asked and that it was strange, and was like no demon she had felt. she then told me that most likely it was not a demon, and she couldn't tell me more. well that left me just a little confused haha. Im part native American and have always been kind of drawn to it. just out of curiosity i began to research totems. i guess it was part of that teenage anxt i guess you know trying to find out who i am because i don't feel my parents or the world understand me cause i smoke and listen to that gosh darn hippidy hop music or whatever. but after all of this had blown over after about six months i had almost forgot about all of this, and for once i kinda felt normal. Until one night getting out of the shower, (the shower is one of the only places i can think straight because of the noise of the fan and the water drowns out everything else) something happened to me that honestly i can only call a nervous breakdown during the most stable time of my life, or a vision. something came and spoke to me it was a presence i had felt before in my dreams, but it was not the bad entity, it had always been in the background whispering to me when i needed it. i saw what i think was aura all around me, and i saw what looked like the outline of a bird above me. at first i thought it was a phoenix, but i noticed the fingered feathers on the wings which is a buzzard or vulture trait. it told me who it was it called itself the duality between light and dark, the paradox of life and death. that it was both and neither because they are one in the same. i lost about 2 hours or more standing in front of my bathroom mirror before coming to. but i researched vulture as a totem which i had actually never heard of or seen before because there's usually the bear, the wolf, the eagle you know all the pretty ones, but never a vulture. and it wasn't again till later when i had another one. but this one was different, i knew this one as well it was a negative one, but it came to me differently this time. it had been in my dreams and following me around, and for some reason i got the name coyote. and again ion front of the mirror i asked who it was, i heard a laugh one i recognized from the time i got punched in the head when i was little. then i heard, i am as likely to trip you as i am to help you up. and i know that coyote is known as a trickster. to make an already longer than it needs to be story short i began to understand who i was. i believe in paradox, and my question is does anyone know what a totem actually is? and is it possible to have two? and that's even if you guys believe in totems, if not ive wasted both our time by typing this assuming you even read this haha. Thanks for your responses if you post any
