I'm happy to make a post about my own guardians, if it'll help with the data collection… I just have a question about what/who counts as a guardian or not?
I mean… I have my ever present Raven.. but I do have a large group of others.. some are always there but don't talk too much (or I don't hear them), some only turn up in dreams… some use different medium to communicate… sometimes in oddly random ways… I mean… what is the specific definition of a guardian?
The current definition seems to be:
- non-physical entity
- sticks around/is present much of the time
- seems to have a deep connection or symbolic meaning to the person or in relation to the person
- also often impacts on that persons dream world
- possible soul group associations, past life associations… reincarnation sources
- the position of guardian seems to be specific and at points either elevated slightly above humanity or as a punishment for time spent in humanity
- could be god figures but generally specifically connected to deities or cultures the person personally connects to
- possibly could also be externalised aspects of the person
So a basic general theory about "what" and not "why" could be: spiritual entities (as in not physical) that seem to stay with us consistently through our lives and have a deep impact on the person through dreamworld encounters, visions, and other odd spiritual encounters.
Have I missed anything out?
