Mystical Bump with a Stranger Who Uncovered the Mystery of Crete for us

One day was filled with strange energy and unique meetings – I am still somehow startled, enchanted, and surprised. Had an immediate feeling that I must share all of this with you, as it was quite a mystical experience here in this foreign land! What a mystical place this Crete is!

Today is Friday, which means a market day for us. We drive from our village here in Crete about 20 kilometers to the next charming place called Elounda. Fresh supplies for the week have been procured from lively vendors, and we head to the nearby playground. Once the kids were satisfied, today they were interested in strolling along the coastline and exploring the boats docked at the pier.

At the moment the children were peeking over the edge observing fish, suddenly, an intriguing older man appeared out of nowhere. His face was sun-kissed, a modern earring with a sparkling gem-adorned his ear, and his eyes had a hint of a bluish-green hue. “Have you seen the octopuses?” he inquired after greeting us. “Oh, where are those octopuses? They are my favorites!” I responded.

“Always look at the bottom of the boat; if there’s even a bit of clay on it, that’s the octopus’s favorite. There are certainly many of them hidden under the stones, but they are not very visible because they blend in with the color of the rock,” explained the man. He added that he used to eat them in the past, but after they swam towards him in the sea and came on him, he felt they were friends with souls, he could no longer eat them.

I believe he totally read me

This interesting man walked along with me and the children, asking who we were and where we came from. I explained that we have an indescribable feeling that we always want to come back to Greece and feel particularly well here, as our homeland (Estonia) is quite different in many ways. “I know it! I can sense people from the north, but your eyes don’t have that coldness that others have had,” he said.

He lived for many years in Denmark, where he was married to a Dane. Later in Germany, where he also married, but the third time he did not marry again because he found out finally that marriage was not for him, and he wanted to be a free man. His children and grandchildren live in Denmark. He has traveled the world and even lived in South America.

The place we were currently in is surrounded by mountains – a basin-like area where the sea has now penetrated between the mountains. In ancient times, there was no water here as the man said, and an ancient Minoan city with 40,000 inhabitants was located. The reason everyone wanted to settle here was the place’s special aura, as if it were a satellite dish shape, receiving energy from the universe.

The man’s name is Giorgo. He explained further that Crete, especially the eastern part (where most villages and cities from a certain era have been found), has a special energy, a unique geomagnetic field that creates a sense of well-being in people. So, many who have open hearts feel a special desire to always return here.

This information sparked my interest, and the depths of the internet shed some additional light:

Some people believe that certain areas on the Crete island, especially in the east, have a unique geomagnetic field. It is thought to contribute to a sense of well-being and spiritual connection for those sensitive to such energies. The island has a long history in philosophy and spiritual teachings. Some people feel connected to ancient wisdom in Crete and seek inspiration or a deeper connection with their spiritual selves. Some people claim that on the eastern side of Greece, including Crete, there is a special geomagnetic field or energy that can influence people’s emotions and well-being.

Interesting, is this one of the reasons why it always pulls us back to this area? 😀

Giorgo told me much more about Minoan culture, energies, political and religious world schemes, and also that what we see with our eyes accounts for only 90 percent of what actually exists. The internet writes that Crete is famous as the homeland of the ancient Minoan culture, which is one of the oldest advanced civilizations in Europe.

He advised me to take life more easily, to be more present, and to worry less. To pay close attention to what and how I eat (keeping in mind how much we can poison ourselves with fast supermarket goods), and even recommended not to drink water from plastic bottles, but always to pour it into a glass and speak words onto the water. According to him, we are 70% water, and water supposedly has memory. Saying your secret wishes to water, he claimed, stores them in your organism.

He added that if you are stuck on a complicated issue, simply ask for guidance from the universe, and the answers will come. He mentioned this, of course, when the topic of Indy’s feet came up (our daughter has some health issues). Additionally, he asked me to note down if Indy once again talks about something strange from the “other world.”

In conclusion, he repeated to drink water, speak words to it, and a month later, we’ll meet right here – then I can tell him what has changed in my life. And just as he appeared, he disappeared. This situation and conversation with a total stranger was so odd and strange that I had goosebumps on my skin and butterflies in my stomach, as if from excitement. Wow, I was utterly astonished. I can’t put all the information and conversation into writing here because no one reads long stories nowadays 😀 but all of this together was somehow mysteriously fascinating.

Today, we went driving in the mountains and discovered the most beautiful places. Upon returning home, we ran into our neighbors who, for some reason, were particularly open today and wanted to give us a gift. They went to the mountains to collect some plants and brought some for us too. These need to be cleaned, lightly boiled, and eaten in olive oil-lemon sauce. Health is on the way! We will definitely give it a try.

More energy, this time from mountain water from neighbors

They also went to fetch water from a spring in the mountains and promised to show us where this magical place was. They even shared two bottles with us, and it resonated particularly well with the morning happenings, as our neighbor Marina mentioned that the mountains have energy, and this water is very special!

Today, there was indeed a feeling of how much more we have to discover and experience here?! These feelings, emotions, and conversations are very challenging to transmit in writing. It can only be experienced, but it’s just so wonderful here! And somehow mystical and so peaceful. Sending this warmth, kindness, open-mindedness, and friendliness to you too!
