![](http://i64.tinypic.com/2n15aur.jpg) Alright, so I grabbed my crystals and gemstones and tried to figure out which was which. Some of them were pretty obvious; The quartz, amethyst, and petrified wood (technically not a gemstone but shush), at the top with my pyrite and a stone I don't recognize. Beneath that is my hematite ring (which I use to help people recover from blood loss), another amethyst crystal that shattered somehow, a couple pieces of tiger's eye, a small lapis lazuli stone and two pieces of stone I again don't recognize. Also my obsidian. And at the bottom is another piece of hematite and three stones which I think are agate but idk.

O.o
Your crystal collection is really nice! I adore that hunk of quartz! And those two stones that you don't know look like granite, but there are a number of things they could be, so I'm not sure either. If you google 'crystal identification' it should help.

Those are some nice stones. And yeah I really want to but I've been super tired and depressed lately. I really need to catch up on sleep and watch for myself a few days... I don't want to be disappointing or worry anybody I just need a minor break again. Sorry.

I'm assuming that journal is from my "Shadow the Edgehog" phase
Glad you like it! Also while I was waiting for people to reply (because I'm lonely ;u; ) I started turning my end table into a little meditation/prayer shrine...thing (not gonna lie I don't really know what I'm doing)

Thanks! Though I noticed while checking my supplies that I'm running low on dragon's blood incense...I should buy some more sometime

Hmm, yes, good idea.Maybe I'll try burning some incense at some point. It will have the added bonus of making my room smell nice.

I don't know if there are any shops like that near me! I only found one a couple of hours drive away.
Also, what site did you use to upload your pictures? I can't find a good one since tiny pic keeps click baiting my phone and won't let me upload anything anymore :/

Well that was odd....I was finishing up my short meditation and blowing out the candles, and one of the red ones refused to go out...it took me a bit to actually extinguish it

Ok, inventory complete! Behold, my gemstone collection! I've been collecting since I was six years old, so thats more than 10 years of collecting.
![](http://i64.tinypic.com/dw5ifn.jpg)
![](http://i63.tinypic.com/2eme6j4.jpg)
Firstly, my crystals! The big spiral is selenite, then amethyst, rose quartz, tigers eye, opal, turquoise, quartz, green Dalmatian stone, flower stone, red jasper, I think magnetite, and I'm in the process of identifying the other tumbled stones. The one wrapped in tissue is citrine, I'm pretty sure. The pile of brightly coloured stones are crackle quartz, then an amethyst geode, an owl carved from agate, with pyrite in the bottom left.
Oh, the two above the clear aqua stone are goldstone - one black and one regular.
And then the jewellery - I can't remember what the orange one is but it might be carnelian, then rose quartz and citrine again. The lizard pendant is my absolute favourite piece, and I consider it almost totem-like. There's a story behind the snake, too. I have always been weirdly attracted by snakes. Most people I know are deathly afraid of them, and most kids wanted kittens or puppies - I wanted a snake. I later found out that snakes are key figures in many Voodoo rituals (which is how I got into the practice) and that they represented the invisible bond between everything in the universe. Sadly, I cannot own a real snake due to legal issues, so a few years back my mother got me this fake one. It's filled with sand and is ver brightly coloured c:
Edit: I forgot to include my Bast statuette D:

ooh v nice dingo!! I was quite into new orleans voodoo for a very long time, but ultimately decided it wasn't for me. snakes are definitely a big deal there, and if you feel drawn to them you should check out Damballah if you haven't already c:
i'm also a snake lover, i keep 4 of them as pets <3

Thanks guys!
I'll definitely check that out, Gojira! I absolutely love snakes, and lizards too. I'd love a snake as a pet, but in Australia you can only own native snakes, and the ones that aren't venomous all get close to two metres long, so yeah... I'd like a small snake, please. I love the look of the Californian corn snakes.

heya, how is everyone today?
heres a question for ya: if you do tarot, do you include minor arcana? how about reversals? ever made your own deck?
i have my own deck of major arcana only I made over the summer. I don't do minor arcana bc i find I just don't do well with them and, given my reading style, i can uuuuusually get fairly clear results with only majors but it depends on the person. I only do reversals if it makes more sense with the rest of the reading and the context, i rely mostly on gut feeling and that special ~witchy instinct~ when it comes to that distinction tho

"Witchy instinct" lol. I was looking at some boxes of tarot cards online and card art just to see what there was out there.
I found a Lovecraftian themed deck. It was pretty wild and creepy.

Gojira I generally don't read with the minor, simply because I don't like it. it's more of the nitpicky details so if I'm doing, for example, a Celtic cross reading I'll use them but otherwise I don't. I bought a deck and I do reversals

ooh yeah, i think i've seen the lovecraftian one. it was pretty dang cool. back when i was still looking for a deck i poured over piles and piles of them, none of them truly resonating with me outside of "oh, i like this art" so thats how i made the decision to make my own. you really have to bond with your deck for it to work imo !
my favorite decks that i'd like to own just for the sake of it are the Thoth deck (hey, he's a cool guy) the Salvador Dali deck, the ritual abuse deck, and a lot of the vintage (non rider waite) decks.
