Twin Souls

They say that everyone has a twin soul. Sometimes we are lucky enough to meet that person and sometimes can live out our entire lives without even knowing who that person is.  In the book, “Reincarnation: Remembering Past Lives,” by Genevieve Lewis-Paulson & Stephen Paulson, the authors describe a twin soul as:

“… very similar and usually the same sex. Sometimes their astrological charts are so closely aligned they will do the same thing at the same time. They might not even be aware of the other person for many years. If one twin develops and grows, the other twin’s growth is automatically enhanced. There is usually a strong past-life connection with twin souls and they have gone through a number of difficult situations together, thus building a trust level. When these persons meet, they immediately have a common trust and a common understanding. The organization of their lives would be similar.”

I met my twin soul many years ago. Her name is Judy (a.k.a. Rhiannon) and we met back in 1990 while working for an insurance company. She was being interviewed by my supervisor at the time and I ran into her in his office. The first thing we literally said to each other was, “I know you from somewhere!” We both remembered feeling as if we had met before, but couldn’t figure out how or where? As we got to know one another, we found out several interesting similarities between us. Our birthdays are a day apart and our astrological charts are very close, our mothers even knew each other because they worked for the exact same employer in the same department, we both have scars on our right knees and  have a right front chipped tooth from when we were children, we were both diagnosed with amenorrhea in our early 20’s and we both have artistic abilities, to name a few. We have been best friends ever since and throughout these many years have only ever had one “falling out,” so to speak, which hadn’t lasted very long.  Oddly, we had both noticed that things had gotten extremely chaotic for us when we were no longer in each others’ lives. Frankly, we were both quite miserable. It was as if, karmically speaking, something wasn’t right.  Could all of these things be a coincidence? We think not.

Like many close friends, we have seen one another through good times and bad, marriages and break-ups, life and death situations. To this day, we still seem to go through the same exact situations at the same time. In fact, sometimes we are so much alike that it is scary – lol! There are only three people in this world, other than my blood family, that I trust implicitly and she is one of them. Whether you believe in a twin soul or not, there are definitely some things in this universe that are hard to explain. Personally, I feel that the Goddess brings certain people into our lives for a reason and if there truly is such a thing as a “twin soul,” I was fortunate enough to find mine.

A few years ago, Judy wrote a beautiful poem about our friendship and framed it as a personal wedding gift for me when Brett and I got married. I’d like to share it with you.

“Twin Souls”

I feel your gladness, I feel your pain
I feel your sunshine, I feel your rain
We are sisters of the craft
and of Neptune, too
We are sisters of the deep blue sea
And of the soul, too

We are sisters of the heart,
Whether near or far,
We are never apart
Like the Moon guides the stars
May our powers blend and combine,
Like twin souls, we are one mind -
Because to me, we’re more than “just friends”

May the God and Goddess bless our friendship always and forever!
“So mote it be”

    1. Merry Meet Natasha,

      It saddens me to hear that you are going through this terrible time. From what you have told me, the situation seems a dire one and I would suggest that you try to find either a trusted family member perhaps stay with them temporarily until you can get back on your feet again (maybe even a Women in Crisis sort or place) immediately!!!

      In the meantime, I will send you Reiki healing energy and wrap you in white light (I also think that you should do the same with your cat Rex and your child)!

      Sweet child of our Goddess, I pray for all of you!

      Blessings to you,

      Kim

  5. Hello!

    I was hoping for some advice regarding the Twin Flame... I have recently met mine (about 18 months ago), and we are both young (18), and I am struggling. Your post here perfectly sums up what a friendship with your twin flame should be like. We see eachother most days and are very close and have both described a feeling of being able to tell eachother more than we have ever told anyone else... it is truly wonderful and blessed! The problem is with myself, not with her. As well as enjoying this new discovery of a totally new type of love, I am also in a committed romantic relationship, and I am struggling to balance my romantic feelings toward him, my partner of two years, and my intense pulling desire to be with her. As I'm sure you understand, you want to give everything to your TF and protect them and support them. I feel somewhat torn between the two relationships, I love them both. Do you have any advice?

    Many blessings,
    Lauren

    1. Merry Meet, Lauren!

      I do apologize for taking so long to respond to you, with my busy schedule and Ostara, it has been a bit crazy!! LOL!

      Thank you for your comment and I will do my best to answer your question as best that I can. My twin soul/flame and I met when we were in our mid to late twenties and we both had a significant other in our lives. Whenever possible, we spent time together as couples. There were times when we would just hang out when time allowed it. I do not know how old you and your twin flame are, but my advise to you both is to try to balance your time as needed or available, you know? There should never be any jealousy or animosity amongst any of you. With situations such as this, you are dealing with two completely different kinds of love and need.

      I hope that helps you somewhat.

      Brightest Blessings and all the best to you ~

  6. Hello, my name is Maia and I am a high schooler just getting into the wiccan faith with my sister,I have an identical twin sister who is an empath while i'm not sure of my correlation. Often times she feels more negative emotions while I feel more positive emotions.It often feels like she absorbs negative emotions while I do positive but I still feel a positive vibe from her. I'm not sure if we are considered twin souls even though we are twins. I notice you might not respond since it is 2018 but it would be most appreciated.

    1. Nice to meet you, Maia. I am not an expert on twin souls; however, I will answer your question as best I can. In regards to twin souls vs. identical twins, I personally believe that they are souls who tend to always provide "balance" in one another's lives as no two are never exactly alike birth twins aside. I can tell you that my twin soul is much, much more positive with her emotions than I am and always has been. That being said, we are both highly intuitive and sensitive to others emotions. It is quite possible that you and your identical twin sister are connected karmically and therefore could actually be twin souls, although it is, in my experience, rare. Have you ever had a past life reading done? If not, that could help you to understand a lot. :)
