Tarot And Health

Hello Diana! I was wondering if empaths are real. A lot of people are quick to self assign themselves as empaths but I'm not sure if it's true. I know witches are able to read minds at times, but my question is more like... Are they as common as people make them out to be? I would suspect it's a more rare ability... (Thank you for your time!)

Empaths: My Biggest Culture Shock

The global online witch community is dominated by white people from a Wiccan or a New Age background. Most of the time, their concepts are absolutely foreign to a traditional hereditary witch like me. I spoke about this before: twin flames and all. But among all of their terminologies, “empath” was what shocked me the most.

The fact that an empath is a special type of witch

A witch is a mortal touched by magic. Someone who can see beyond what the eye can see. Hear unspoken words, feel unexpressed emotions, taste what isn’t there, sense what hasn’t happened yet. Bend the laws of nature and defy those of gravity.

An empath is a mortal who can experience others’ experiences. Feel someone’s joy or sorrow. Hear someone’s happy or tragic thoughts. Absorb the living’s and the dead’s memories in certain environments. Understand the state of mind of some animals.

So if you are a witch, you should be able to do anything that an empath can. If you cannot, then you have not reached your full potential yet.

I was surprised that empath is being treated as a special subcategory. These skills are magical, but within the realm of witchcraft, they are ordinary.

The fact that people think the weak are the strong ones

Any witch who is going through a spiritual awakening may have a hard time coping. Because one moment, life is normal. The next, it feels like you are in a horror or a psychological thriller.

But the best of us survive without a scratch. And then we learn to accept our new “normal”. We move forward, attuned to our more powerful selves.

And yet I have read countless accounts of those who failed to attune... being hailed as powerful empaths. Those who cry in public for no reason. Those who wake up in the middle of the night shaking. Those who are overwhelmed by the emotions around them.

They are those who failed to adjust to their new reality. They should not be hailed or admired. They should be helped and advised. Their body is not accepting their new identity. Their conscious self is rejecting their higher self’s authority.

If the above upheaval is something you are going through, here are tips on how to survive your spiritual awakening and how to strengthen your magical powers.

We need an understanding of levels

Folks out there act like there isn’t any intermediate and advanced witchcraft content available to them. Even 20 years ago most of what is easily available now was not at your finger tips. Because of all this availability it seems like people don’t realize what is basic, intermediate or advanced. Spoilt with everything available, they wonder what advanced even is. Everything listed down here can be found online, in distance classes, and in books that are for sale at modest cost:

The basics are knowing the major neopagan holidays, how to cast a circle, cleanse, ground, shield and follow spell and ritual instructions for simple goals like attracting prosperity, inspiration and a little luck. Easy to follow and clear cut ethics. The instructions for learning visualization. You can start elsewhere than neopagan but there will be similar basic practices, and there are hundreds of books of the same basic content and lots of sites and blogs too.

Intermediate material is setting up a daily practice, getting good with a divination method, getting very familiar with herbal, tree, stone or animal lore, writing your own spells and rituals using correspondences and standard patterns, some study of myth and folklore. Thoughtful understanding of gray area ethics and honor. A lot of self exploration and strengthening. Instructions for out of body experience.

Advance material will be communicating with various spirits and/or deities. The specialization in the arts of a particular path or role like priesthood, tool making, bardic storytelling, writing your own grimoire or copying your tradition’s book of shadows. Initiation into that path and optionally coven practice. Confidence in astral travel. More specific and targeted spell craft and ritual based upon your compiled experiences and those shared with you by teachers and peers. Ecstatic practices during ritual and spell work. Deep self knowledge, facing difficult demons and shadows and acting in full accordance with your own ethical compass.

Post advanced: learning the specialities of more paths perhaps becoming a leader, teacher, warrior, writer, or mystic in your tradition. Learning more depth and self knowledge through teaching or leading or even through deeper life dedication. It is not every person who has gone through the levels duty to teach, it takes extra talents outside of the craft like writing ability, pedagogy, and even the luxury of time and space to provide for others.

It all comes down to your own personal level of dedication and amount effort you can or will put in how far you can go. And one can have a very meaningful and impactful practice at any level dependent only upon satisfying their own drive for self knowledge and wisdom and truth of the spirit world, deities and/or nature. Everyone’s advanced path will look different though intro paths can be fairly similar, they all are unique too.

Thank you Diana for being the only one here brave enough to voice out difficult truths about witchcraft. Yes, in my experience too even the kindly fae hurt weak willed witches as you call them. A fickle witch is like a fickle boyfriend. You'll make the fae feel like they're in an unstable connection, like they can't trust you! So please, guys, don't talk to an entity if you're just gonna be afraid of them after!

Sigils in Traditional Witchcraft

I'm so excited for Halloween! I just bought the Santa Muerte Tarot and Haunted House Tarot from your videos!😍🤗 Is there anything traditional you do during Halloween that you're ok with sharing? Thank you and have a great day Lady Diana!👸

Traditional Ritual for the Halloween Period

Whether you call it Halloween, Day of the Dead, or All Hallows’ Eve, the end of October to the start of November is a time dedicated to remembering the departed: the saints, the martyrs, our ancestors and dearly beloved.

On these days, mortals collectively reach out to the other side, thinning the veil, and allowing the dead to come back for a visit.

Whatever it is you plan to cast – a wish spell, a protection spell, or a malicious one – invoke the dead, so they can power it, guaranteeing its effectiveness.

The day before you perform the above, leave a wicker basket of presents by the true north wall of the cemetery nearest your home.

Fill it with food, trinkets, coins. Whatever little luxuries you have in mind. But its most important content should be a sacrifice. An object you would have a difficult time living without. Something you could not easily replace. Its priceless value could be sentimental or monetary. Give anything less, and your call will be unheeded.

Once your basket is ready, fully cover it with fabric cut from one of your blankets —  something to keep the dead warm during their visit.

Before you leave your basket safely hidden in place, recite these seven names:

ABRAXAS, ECKDULON, HEKU, MEGOS, RUHOS, SECOZOMAY, VATHMIEL

They are demons and angels with different tasks, one of which is shepherding the dead, so that by November 3rd, they’ll safely leave our world.

Whatever you do, never come back for the basket. It is no longer yours the moment you leave it. Whoever throws or gives it away without malice will be safe. But anyone who steals from it is bound to be punished. That problem is not yours to deal with.

The Significance of Rings

Rings add weight to the area of life that the finger represents, or could reveal imbalances. A ring placed with intent can enhance areas of your life. This can be strengthened by rings with corresponding crystals. When a ring is worn unconsciously, it more likely refers to the negative trait or imbalance that corresponds with that finger. Left hand: Corresponds to your personal and private life. Connected to family and personal identity or internal issues. Your left hand reflects the energy you take in. Right hand: Relates to your public life. Connected to work and your relation to society. Your right hand reflects the energy you give out. Middle Finger Element: Earth Considered the finger of cultural identity. It reflects how you related to justice, law, order, and responsibility. Can also signify inner security or materialism. Consciously placed ring: Reduce anxiety, improve stability, desire for self-development. Unconsciously placed ring: domestic unhappiness, insecurities, judgmental, lack of security. Crystals: garnet, onyx, agate, topaz, tiger’s eye, jade.

Index Finger Element: Water Considered the finger of personal identity, how you relate to and see yourself. Associated with leadership, ambition, and self-confidence. Consciously placed ring: Boost self-esteem, increase authority, improve confidence. Unconsciously placed ring: Damaged self-esteem, feeling not good enough, feeling better than others, controlling personality. Crystals: tourmaline, lapis lazuli, peridot, opal, emerald. Ring Finger Element: Fire Represents your extra-personal identity and self-expression. It represents creativity and love of beauty. If it’s a wedding ring or engagement ring, it represents success in finding a mate. But if bought by the wearer it can represent self-love. Consciously placed ring: Strengthen creativity, express friendliness, improve aesthetic awareness. Unconsciously placed ring: Creative frustration, concern with image, desire to be liked. Crystals: garnet, ruby, pink tourmaline, diamond. Little Finger Element: Air Considered the finger of impersonal identity. It reflects communication and sexuality. Also represents confidence in relationships and strength. Consciously placed ring: Improve communication, express sexuality/sexual identity, gain confidence in regards to relationships. Unconsciously placed ring: Poor communication, lies, difficulty with sexuality/sexual identity Crystals: blue topaz, sapphire, aquamarine. Thumb Element: Ether Your thumb symbolizes your spiritual identity. It relates to your will power, determination, and application of personal energy. It also reflects your ability to reason and apply logic. As the thumb is separate from the rest of the fingers, and a very useful finger, it also represents strength, independent thought, and freedom. Consciously placed ring: Boost energy level, increase will power/motivation, provide comfort, increase reasoning, increase personal strength and independence. Unconsciously placed ring: lack of energy, feeling powerless, lack of control, poor reasoning, feeling trapped, stubborn/stuck in own way, need for control, aggressive/forceful Crystals: moonstone, diamond, amethyst. Rings on all/many fingers This can indicate a negative circumstance that you are being faced with. It shows a likely lack of feeling safe or secure in your world, and that your putting on a front. It can also signify avoidance to deal with issues affecting your life.

Hi Diana, on one of your spells you have to use a consecrated needle but can you explain what this is?

How to Consecrate Tools for Spellwork

To consecrate an object means to make it sacred, in order to dedicate it to a higher purpose than what it is mundanely used for.

For example, Catholic priests consecrate bread and wine during mass to become the body and blood of Christ.

Pagans consecrate spell tools and ingredients through similar rituals.

We do it by offering the object to our deity on a special occasion: a full moon… the god’s feast day… at the witching hour… Each faith or coven would have different customs and requirements.

If you are a first-generation witch or a solo practitioner, then you decide how to consecrate your own tools. As long as you do it in the most respectful way in line with your sacred truths.
