Dialogue with the Gods

Before, we talked about one-sided ways of communicating with the Gods: Talking to them through prayer and listening to them in our lives. This week, we will start a dialogue with the Gods.
In some of the previous pathworkings, we tried to communicate with the Gods. Pathworking, guided meditation, can be used to enter in a dialogue with the Gods. Repeat the meditation “Meeting the Gods” this week, but vary it:

Once you are in your safe place, you see not one, but two doors. One of them bears a sun disc, glowing golden. The other one is marked by a silver shining moon crescent. Look at both doors, and decide which one you want to take. Perhaps you can see a sign, an invitation, one door being locked, the other one not, or one symbol glowing invitingly. Open that door. There is a passage beyond, one that is adorned with the symbols and stories of either the Goddess, or the God, depending on the door you chose. Take some time to explore that passage, the displays.
At the end of the passage, you reach an open door, leading to a room that is smaller, more private than the throne room where you meet the God and Goddess together last time. It might be an audience chamber, or a sitting room. You are expected, by either the Goddess or the God, depending on the door you chose. Take a good look at Him/Her. He/She greets you. “Welcome. I have been expecting you.” Greet Him/Her and talk to Him/Her. Talk your own part, and listen for the answers and reactions.
...(If recording, leave a long pause for interaction).
Finally, you feel that it is time to return home. You thank the God/Goddess for the opportunity to talk to Him/Her. Then you return the same way you came here: Through the door, down the passage, into your safe place. From there, return to your body.
I probably told you this before, but I am happy to repeat it: Write down your experiences. Memory is a strange thing, and some things might stick with us, but others might slip away. Therefore, take your journal and write down your experiences.
