I have been having informal meetings with Dutchess Bune for six months on Friday mornings. I began by hanging a printed sigil of the spirit nearby, playing some soft shamanic drumming, while I placed an offering of fresh orange slices, a square of dark chocolate and a small cup of coffee under it.
I had a similar plate laid out for myself.
Over the course of these months I expressed my intention to form a long-term friendship and alliance with Dutchess Bune, and that I had in mind to work with the Dutchess to better our financial situation by eliminating debt and over time, building up our retirement fund to a certain goal amount.
There were times when I felt a presence, and times when I didn’t, but I kept this up nearly every Friday morning for six months, and took what actions I could to put us in a position to benefit via making what I believed to be prudent investment decisions.
Then, about a month ago, and sensing the time was right, I performed a formal ritual where I called the Dutchess very deliberately, and asked her blessing and engagement, helping me to make the right calls at the right time in order to benefit our situation. I did formalize my previous informal offers of things I would do in acknowledgement and thanks for the goals we accomplish together.
Over the course of the next few weeks I watched the investments made earlier ripening, and sold at a much high price, at apparently very close to the optimal time.
With the money gained through our “liquid” account investments I was able to pay off all debt, which saves us between 400-500 dollars per month in interest. Also this resulted in a gain of about 30k in our retirement fund.
This is certainly not the conclusion of my work with Dutchess Bune, because the goal I have in mind is still far in the distance, but this was such a good initial result I feel compelled to come here and offer thanks to Dutchess Bune for such an amazing benefit.
I held another formal ritual with Bune to thank her along with a special offering of bourbon which she seemed most pleased to receive. We will still be working together in this mutually beneficial way for many months or years to come, to continue toward my ultimate goal, but I hope our friendship and alliance never ends.
I look forward to our weekly Friday morning touch-base meetings over coffee together. I like to think she does as well.
