I am going to say something here that I almost never tell people. This is a true story, but the reason I don't share it is because people are reasonably skeptical and most occultist don't believe in magic in truth. I'm not saying that about anyone who has commented here. it is just a general observation.
Anyway, while walking through a trail in a forest one night, a large deer (stag) walked from the trees onto the trail. I am not great at judging distances, but it was close enough for me to see its body clearly, but not so close that I could not have put a tree in between it and me if it charged.
It was not uncommon to see deer in this area, so that wasn't strange. but what was out of the normal was the magical aura that soaked the area/moment.
I dropped to my knees and bowed where I was. I looked up and saw the deep start walking toward me. As it got closer it because slightly blurry, until it because the most handsome man I had ever seen. He was dressed normally, but his clothes seemed to also somehow be very high quality.
I stood and we passed each other. After a while the aura in the area passed and everything went back to how it was in the beginning of my walk.
I know enough to know I know nothing. We are hurdling on a rock through space in a galaxy doing the same. Shape shifters have been reported by all traditional cultures across the world.
I fully understand many people will disregard this, but it is a true story.
