Also is it weird that there's this one stone I have in my collection that I mostly try to avoid?

There's this small piece of tumbled obsidian that I have that has a small crack in it, and for some reason I just get a really bad feeling from it >.>

Here's my two cents on the subject; Crystals attract energy. Certain crystals, like quartz, magnify energy. Crystals break when the energy they attract is of significant strength - you know when those people can sing really high notes and the glass shatters? Think of it like that. The glass is your crystal and the high notes are the energetic they attract. A broken crystal does not mean that it stops working. If you're picking up negative energy, there's a possibility that whatever enegery the crystal called is lingering, and that is what caused it to crack in the first place. I'd recommend cleansing the stone - you can do this by 'recharging' it in moonlight, or by burying it (I've never buried a crystal before though, so you'd have to do some research).

Ok, so, I had a very very interesting experience with my spiritual councillor yesterday.
At the end of every session, we do some meditation. Yesterday I thought it'd do something a bit different, to really open my mind, as it were, and reach out, so in addition to the crystals we use, I brought some of my own, namely quartz, Tiger eye and goldstone, and wore my beaded lizard charm. Now, usually when I meditate, I let my thoughts wander and I typically end up in the mountains, which are a very significant place for me. This time, however, I ended up somewhere completely different.
It was a pine forest, late at night. I was in a clearing, and there was a bonfire burning. There were several shadowy presences that I couldn't make out. Bast was there too, and there was another distinct presence; a tall man with the head of a deer (I distinctly remember alters, so for now I will refer to my visitor as 'him') who kept offering me things. I remember being offered a hawk feather and juniper berries. Then the vision cut weirdly, and all I could see was a bird, I think it was a hawk, sailing through the night air.
I was later told that I completely zoned out while all this was going on. So, needless to say that I have a fair bit of research to do, but I thought this might be worthwhile sharing! Following up;;
It turns out that juniper is a symbol of protection. Hawks, on the other hand, are spiritual guides, and are representative of a clear link with the spirit world and symbolise clear sight. Finding a feather from a hawk symbolising guardianship, strength and far-sightedness. It seems, on first glance, that I am being offered protection against something I have not yet come across - I'm also kind of awed that a spirit guide appeared to me. I feel so supported?
I mentioned sensing some less clear presences. What I didn't say was that my first impression was that it was your energies (as in everyone else's) that I was picking up. I don't know if that's possible, but that's what it felt like.
As for my antlered visitor... I haven't been able to ascertain exactly who it was, but Bast seemed pretty keen to introduce us. Based on my research, it may have been Cernunnos,a Celtic deity, but I'm not entirely sure. I plan on doing some more meditation tonight, and I'll try to reach out again. I have some fake hawk feathers somewhere, which I'll offer, so hopefully I'll be able to make contact again.
I'd appreciate any insight on the matter!

I gotta make sure I have some meat to offer though because that seemed to work out last time...I'm hoping it will be more clear this time though because according to you guys, your experiences seem more "vivid" than mine (I mean I don't mean to complain but I'm just sayin')

not all deities come in a clear and vivid way. often the only deity i hear from clearly is Amaterasu but she is the goddess of the sun/universe/clarity and she is quite powerful so i know that would be why. also my bond with her is stronger than the ones i have with my other deities. Persephone i hear from whenever someone is rude to me and she gives me advice on how to be strong and take charge of my own path and then she gets protective over me which i find nice because i have never had someone so protective over me before. other than that i usually just get signs from my deities and nothing completely clear. I wont say it isnt frustrating after hearing about other people having more vivid experiences but i believe that they still love and care for me and they dont want to coddle me like most people in my life do. They are just trying to help me grow by figuring things out myself. perhaps that is what is going on with you sour. i would give it time and let things come naturally. let the bond grow like a tree. you need to nurture it of course but it must grow in its own time. Sorry if i said something i shouldnt have i just felt like sayign something to help you not feel so frustrated(?)

also im not sure if anyone is interested but when i meditate or try to let a deity come to me i like to listen to music because with my adhd my mind is constantly working and only music calms my brain down. anyway i came across this interesting site and you make music by clicking a square on a grid and you can make patterns so if you also work with sigils you could make them with this to have a musical element to it. you can also share what you make with others so like you could post them here or something. this is the link by the way: tonematrix

Yoshimi: Thank you so much? That actually means a lot to me. Ghost and Sour: Most of my instances of dealing with my deities are really far from vivid unless I am seeing them while I'm asleep and already dreaming since my dreams almost always tend to be really nearly lucid all the time without even trying. I may interact with them easily and frequently, but most of the time it's more through just feeling like their presence is there or somehow hearing or seeing them and their voice in yourself or when you close your eyes. It's not necessarily that they are literally there in the physical so much as what's in you. Which people are all to quick to call crazy. But there's a difference between the sort of... "imaginary friend" impulses and the instinct and overall feel of another presence. Your brain can be easily tricked in many ways perhaps, but I don't think you can trick a brain into feeling energy like that that isn't there. Relationships take time, and as it is, I'm still building mine too. @victorious Sure, come on in like I said before dude. <3

yup to me its like forming a friendship with people you meet. sometimes it will grow fast such as me and Amaterasu, sometimes it will grow steady but turn into something strong like a sibling relationship or protective one like me and Persephone, or sometimes it grows slowly and steadily. but in the end it will be strong and steady no matter how quickly or slowly the bond forms. btw i keep using growth and tree comparisons cause thats how Persephone kinda told me she basically just showed me an image of a tree and on it was a bat which is an animal of Persephone and a reference to how she basically sent signs she was claiming me by renewing my interest in batman and the comics. so thats how i think of it now. sorry if it doesnt make sense or its not good explanation.

OH MY GOSH I had saved a link to that click the squares thing a long time ago and lost it. So thanks a lot for sharing, Ghostie. also I'm glad you're feeling better.
In other news on the way to going to the restaurant with my mom today I saw two huge black birds followed by a guy walking two large black dogs about a block further down the same road on the same side of the street. My first thoughts were Huginn and Muninn and Geri and Freki. Not sure if it meant anything, but it was enough to catch my interest so I thought I'd share.

Hmm, that website seems a lot more wicca-oriented and a little bit lacking for me. It's sorta on par with the spells of magic website except for with a lot less... of everything. But at least it doesn't pass off fluff material as real magic.
