Good day, lady diana! Not to attack anyone but most of the greco roman pagans here only have literature, movies and their imagination as basis for what they're saying. You're the only one i trust to know the answer to my question. Since the old gods are not like the new ones who have a black and white view of good and bad, does that mean the old gods support crime? Since they're more open minded? Since they understand human impulse? Since they're more human in a way? Thank you very much!

Do the old gods support crime?

For a time in the Roman Empire, being a Christian was a crime. Then during the Victorian era, not wearing black after your husband died was an equally serious crime. And today, merely having an unpopular opinion on Twitter seems to be the biggest crime.

So if by crime, you mean our whimsical definition of the word, then I can tell you with certainty that the divine cannot be bothered.

But on our gods' definition of a crime, my elders’ tales and my own accounts are aligned.

Unlike the new gods, the old ones do not exist just to watch over us. They have their own exciting lives. That is why they value peace. Because peace on earth means they mostly live undisturbed.

Therefore, a criminal to them is whoever destroys the peace. But not just anyone who wreaks havoc. Rather, the one who starts a brawl. Here are some examples:

FOR APOLLO

To the Lord of Victory, cheating is a grave crime. But if your opponent did it first and you are only balancing the scales, then you are not the criminal in his eyes. The other guy is. He is the one who will be punished.

FOR DIANA

To the Goddess of the Hunt, killing wildlife is a crime. But those who hunt merely to eat have nothing to fear. Along with those who are only removing a threat to their own life, or to their crops and their livestock.

FOR MERCURY

To the Lord of Antics, pranks are a joy, not a crime. But those who use trickery to take advantage of the innocent should beware. Scammers, corrupt politicians, vile lawyers… such are criminals in his eyes.

FOR VENUS

To the Goddess of Love, stealing someone’s boyfriend is not a crime. Because such an act is impossible. Humans have free will. Our hearts cannot be stolen. Lying about loving someone just to use them – that is what a crime is.

FOR MARS

To the Lord of War, starting a fight is not a crime. Neither is losing it. Like Apollo, it is cheating that he despises, along with cowardice. And of course he enjoys bloodshed. But not when it is the blood of the innocent.

FOR JUPITER

To the Lord of Optimism, gossiping is a crime. Speaking ill of someone out of malice awakens his fury. And so when the victim fights back, he supports her completely, even when the punishment exceeds the crime.

FOR SATURN

To the Lord of Harvest, stealing is a crime. For he values honest work. Unless you are stealing from a thief. Then he appreciates you bringing everything back to balance. You can think of him as a Robin Hood fan.

FOR URANUS

To the Lord of Chaos, rocking the boat is not a crime. He loves people who think differently, no matter how harmful or threatening his opinions might be for others. Unless he actually hurts somebody, Uranus will see him dearly.

FOR NEPTUNE

To the Lord of Mysticism, not believing in anything bigger than yourself is a crime. He does not care whether it is him you believe in. But if you think you are the strongest force on earth, you might be pushing him to prove you wrong.

FOR PLUTO

To the Lord of Death, ending those who deserve it is not a crime. Think of him as a proponent of capital punishment. Makes sense that of all the gods, he is the most responsive to his children, when they are begging for vengeance.

Of course, the gods’ minds are more complex than I can comprehend. But the above is an authentic excerpt from the experience of the pagans in my lineage.

✨ a tarot spread i made for trying to see who’s reaching out to you ✨

1. card to represent entity 

queen of cups - a beautiful, introspective woman sits on a throne at the edge of the sea. this entity is a women or has feminine energy, she is caring and compassionate. intuitive and creative, she goes with the flow. she might be an empath, a highly sensitive person, a healer, or psychic. 

2. my relationship to them 

the empress - a full figured woman, with a peaceful aura and peaceful energy. perhaps someone from my maternal line, with the previous card it seems to make sense that it is a female. a call to connect with feminine energy. she is also deeply connected to nature and perhaps is calling me to connect with nature and the female divine as well. with the pregnant belly showing, it really points to being a maternal ancestor. 

3. why are they reaching out 

the sun - her warmth and light shine down on me, she wants me to be happy and positive. she wants me to live life to the fullest that perhaps the people who came before me couldn’t have. she wants me to be open and confident, free and careless. 

4. how they relate to my ancestors / are they an ancestor? 

the hierophant - either they taught my ancestors about spirituality and tradition or they were an ancestor who taught others. they passed on knowledge, perhaps cultural traditions. with the previous cards, it would make sense for this person to be some kind of spiritual advisor or healer.

5. what can i do to hear them out? 

page of wands - communicate via prayer or just talking, they want me to undertake a journey but for it to be creative, lively, and free. they want me to be full of energy and find my passion and go for it. perhaps a path similar to the one they took. 

6. what can i do to honor them? 

eight of pentacles - card of apprenticeship and mastery, whatever i’m currently practicing, keep doing what i’m doing because this is the right path. i’m currently in college studying art history, and trying to learn more and more about my own history. i must keep at this. they are encouraging me to do so. i will achieve success this way.  

7. card to represent their origin 

seven of wands - this is someone who was fiery at times and stood up for what they believed in. perhaps they were caught in the middle of a battle or constantly had people against them or critical of them. despite their sensitive nature, they defended themselves and protected what they cared about. if they were a teacher of some sort, then it would make sense for them to have a few who did not agree with them. 

extra pulled cards: page of pentacles

oracle cards: warrior woman and answer the call

What can I use the Runic alphabet for?

Your Book of Shadows or Grimoire

A secret journal

Writing notes in class

Writing spells

To connect with deities

You can use Runes like sigils, by learning the meaning of a runestone and then drawing it on you, paper, other materials, and etc

Somethings you should know when learning to write the Runic Alphabet

There are lots of different variations of the Runic alphabet, so someone else might know a different one to you.

Some people write third alphabet left-right.

Some letters do not have their own rune, and so they will have a repeated rune.

Some common word beginnings and endings like “Th” and “Ng” have their own runes.
