I have a very close relationship with the Norse Goddess Freya. Other people I know have been followed through a wood by Herne or have had contact by Gods and Goddesses from the Egyptian pantheon. I would be interested to hear of any experiences you are willing to share.

To expand on what I mean by contact:
I was attempting a healing circle when Freya appeared in front of me she simply said 'I am Freya' and then touched me on the arm. The sensation was like holding a huge static charge and I could feel it coursing through me and into the person for whom I had requested the energy. I had been using runes for several years but it was this experience which finally led me to Heathenry as a path.

To 'Insert Name' I have fairly frequent contact with her now. Sometimes I feel her watching me while I type away, sometimes she dances. Sometimes she makes fun of m when i have done something particularly stupid.

Sure lots of them.
When I was studying Kemeticism I had an experiance with Thoth, Isis, and Anubis. The conncetion was sort of staticky, but Isis told me from the beginning that it wasn't my permanent path.
Let's see, then I had one with Frigga when she called me to gods. The message was simple, "You belong to us. Welcome Home". I've met Odin, who answered a question of mine and helped/is helping me through it. I tend to ask him for advice, even though he can't give a straight answer to save my life. *sigh*. And then Freyja. I've met her tons. We talk a lot actually. Not lately because I've been a bit busy, but we connect pretty well. We're a lot alike. She just popped up one night and we've gotten along well ever since. Then I met Thor one night. He scared the crap out of me actually. He has a very overwhelming presence if you aren't expecting him. I feel him at the fringes a lot lately, but then I've been needing protection so that's probably why. My kids are fascinated with him. Especially my oldest. I feel Frigga when I get frusterated with the kids or need the house to feel safe. So to answer your question, yes, I've had contact with dieties. :)

I believe I had something of a contact with Freya - I was on a windswept cliff in the Marin Headlands above San Francisco and called on the deities. I fell back on my tail when a hawk flew up the side of the cliff and seemed to almost just appear above my head. The female hawk let out one of those screeches and hovered above me, about five feet away, looking at me in the eye. I was blown away. We had ravens hovering close over the Asatru gathering that weekend but no hawks that close.
Also, given my closeness to cats throughout my life (my Mom says I'm a cat whisperer, I can get wild cats to come to me and settle a scared cat quickly) - Freya makes sense as a patron deity. My other one is Odin - him and revelations in my life I'll keep close right now.

That's weird. I've recently began researching the Goddess Freya, and find her amazing. I would love for you to elaborate on your relationship further.
edit: Thanks for sharing. Wish I could come into contact with a Goddess. ) :

Sounds interesting. Care to elaborate on the contact? I'm curious to know more.
To answer your question, as far as I know, I haven't been contacted by any pagan deities, but since I"m not strictly christian, I don't know if I'd qualify as one or not anyway.

I've had contact with some nature spirits, and a couple run-ins with some very unfriendly spirits, but no deities

Inanna came to me. I had never heard of her at the time. That is when I started my search to find out more about her. This is all I wish to share.

Yup. Direct, quite real, externally verifiable and not anyone's business who was not there, so, sorry.

if you are human it shouldn't surprise you. everyone is equal in the eyes of the divine... however, what you do can short circuit your magick.
