Here's what it sounds to me...

And that 3-pronged symbol just keeps coming up.
Last night on a deed from 1659 I found a copy of the ‘marke’ or ‘signature’ of the father of the woman I’m researching. One english variation of her father’s name was “Point Ahau”, see the example of his marke right after his name; 3-prongs again.
I’ve looked at Indian markes on old deeds for years. There are many styles, some just an X, many are a bow or an arrow or an animal or some kind of squiggle.
So:
- The 3-pronged mark shows up on a large piece of quartz for the 20 years I’ve hiked these woods, but then it was dug up and stolen by someone. (I have no photo of it)
- The 3-pronged mark shows up on a small piece of quartz which ‘magically’ appears on my kitchen floor. (not sure if I told that story here)
It's interesting that the Hebrew letter for Shin (which to me they resemble more than the flag emblem for Barbatos since there is no stem on the bottom) and the link described it as being
"These are the three essential manifestations of love as taught by the Ba'al Shem Tov" Keep that in mind...

I do a lot of work with animal totems & crystals. The following websites talks about various totems:

It sounds to me as if the deer is manifesting itself to help you along your spiritual journey.

- The 3-pronged mark shows up on a deed selling Salem, Ma to the English. The woman who made this mark lived in this area
- I find that these local Indians, including the father of the woman I just mentioned, were sent to Barbados as slaves, and the Barbados flag has a 3-pronged mark
- I find the marke of the father of the woman I’m researching, and it is has the similar 3-prongs
I think I need to find a different hobby.
A snippet from the links I gave you says,
"Just as the deer bounds from one place to another, a person with deer medicine often moves quickly from one situation to another, often never staying long enough in one place to get a "full meal""
The woman & her father were relocated from one place to another. I would hazard a guess that they were of the deer people.

I’ve been away from home for a while and have not been in these woods, but I got out there yesterday morning.
At a place where there are some Indian ceremonial stone circles I stopped. I then heard a woodpecker in the branches above me. I watched and listened to him and this is what he said:
“It’s all about CYCLES.
You wake, you sleep, you wake, you sleep.
You live, you die, you live, you die.
When you first wake up in the morning you remember your dreams in good detail, but as you go about your day, those memories fade.
When you are born and are young you still remember things from your previous lives, but as you go about this life, those memories fade.”
You may want to go to the ceremonial circle again and ask the deer what it is it wants you to know. Sounds like it has good medicine to teach you.
That's my 2cents. Hope you find it helpful.
