Hello, terribly sorry if none of this makes sense but I've got a bit of a conundrum on my hands and there's and fair bit of exposition to get through, so please bear with me. See, when I was little I had a dream where I was standing on a jetty that didn't connect to land, in the middle of an ocean that was almost pitch black, with an endless sky above me and around me-also black- with a single light directly above me, very far away. And in the water, under the jetty was a woman with very pale skin and black hair who would talk to me about my day and my life and then the dream would end when she would tell me that one day she would take me away, and then she'd drag me into the water and I'd wake up. I also ha divisors from a shadow man who wanted to do the same thing, take me away. The shadow man, however, was very much in real life. I also have received constant guidance from snakes in dreams, as they would often serve as protectors and informants. Then very recently I found myself being circled by a woman, almost like a clock counting down, or like I was being hunted. She appears in the corner of my eye for brief moment and only appears consecutively where the numbers of a clock would be if I were standing in the middle and facing 12. She is now at 9, and she started at 1. This woman does not seem to have an age, she could be anything from 12-86, or older or younger. After some research I have reason to believe she may be Hecate. She is definitely the woman I spoke to in my dreams and I feel like she is counting down to something big. I also feel like there's something I need to do before she reaches 12, something I need to get. But I have no idea what it may be. I know it's probably a long shot, but does anyone have any advice for me? Or has anyone experienced anything similar? I am a fairly inexperienced witch and I definitely need some guidance. Sorry for the long message, and for any typos!
