Do You Have Any Advice On How To Start Studying Magic? I've Been Interested In Witchcraft For A While

Hi Diana! I’m your biggest fan from México. Your generosity and clarity are a gift to the world. I have an autistic son (13 y/o), he can’t talk, but lately he yells all the time, very loud, and I can’t understand him. I am desperate and intrigued about our shared karma, we have a struggling relationship, and I would love to heal it. I want to help him (and myself), but I don’t know how. Is there something I can do to understand our past life relationship or to understand him? I beg your help🙏🏻

How to Use Tarot to Speak to Someone’s Higher Self

There are situations when you need to ask someone a question, but their conscious self is unable to answer. This ritual has been used by those whose loved one is in a coma, to settle things before they part. And those whose children are unable to speak, to find out if they were abused or suffered another trauma.

The Setting

Go to a private space at any time of the day, as long as the sun is still up. Make sure it is the only light source, no matter how dim. Turn off everything else.

Sit on the floor with your legs crossed. Have the photograph in front of you of the person you wish to speak to.

The Silencing

Hold your tarot deck. Overhand shuffle your cards, as you keep your eyes on the photograph, and say seven times:

FERHUD RESIORIR NOIRIKEF

This incantation silences everyone else: entities who might be nearby… your own subconscious… your deck’s own voice. It clears the path for the person’s higher self.

The Summoning

Stop shuffling. Address the photograph in front of you by announcing the person’s name. The one you call them by. And then say:

ORION HIKONIR SEREKAS

These words implore the person’s higher self to open up.

The Inquiry

Cut your deck in half. Leave them on the floor that way, as you voice out your question. Take as long as you like. Speak in the language that you normally use with this person.

Once you are done, put the deck back together again, and hold it in your hands.

The Conversation

Pull one card from the top of the deck, and another from the bottom. Read them together. That pair is your answer. Click here, if you need help with the interpretation.

If you have received the answer you need, consider the session over. But if you need clarification, you are allowed a follow-up question. Voice it out, and as before, pull one card from the top and another from the bottom. Read them together. The session is now over.

The Farewell

To say goodbye, address the photograph once more, saying the name that you call the person by. Then speak the summoning spell in reverse:

SAKERES RINOKIH NOIRO

This orison thanks the higher self for the conversation.

Discovering Your Life Purpose with Tarot

You may have more than just one passion. But which is meant to give your soul ultimate satisfaction?

Step 1: Prepare your deck.

Remove the Major Arcana, the Pages and the Knights. Set them aside.

You should have 48 cards left: the Minor Arcana’s aces through tens, the Queens and the Kings.

Step 2: Ask 12 times.

Shuffle your cards as you ask, “What do the powers that be declare this incarnation’s purpose to be?”

Focus intently, ensuring you do not stumble on the words. In case you do, stop. Take three deep breaths, and begin the count from one again.

Step 3: Read the rogues.

If, while shuffling, certain cards jumped out of the deck, read them now, using the meanings you know.

They are clues from the divine. The positive-leaning cards are what will help you achieve your purpose, and the negative-leaning ones are the obstacles you need to overcome.

Step 4: See the answer.

Turn over your shuffled deck, so that the cards are facing you.

Set aside the first 11 cards you see. The 12th is your answer.

Step 5: Heed your purpose.

The Aces

Your life purpose is not only to accept or love yourself, but to admire and worship it. Your past lives were filled with insecurity and self-loathing. In this incarnation, the powers that be want you to set that right.

The Twos

Your life purpose is not only to experience material abundance, but to revel in it. Your past lives overflowed with nothing but scarcity and lack. In this incarnation, the powers that be want you to experience the opposite of that.

The Threes

Your life purpose is not only to speak your mind but to be admired for it. You had no voice in any of your past lives. In this incarnation, the powers that be want you to sing to the world and know what it is like to be applauded.

Divination Witch Tips

✨ 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.

Many, many, many other things not said here

Hello! Hope you're having a good day! I wanted to ask if you could tell me anything about astral projection? I really want to do it but I'm worried if it's dangerous and also wanted to know how to exactly go about it? If you could help, that'd be great. Thanks a lot ♥️

We call it wandering.

I first did it when I was five.

I woke up after a nap crying. I told my dad I saw a dollhouse in my dream, and that I wanted it. He gave me the equivalent of USD 20, told me to go back to sleep and buy it.

Of course he really gave me the money so I could get one from the mall. But the cash was gone by morning. I was angry. I thought my dad took it back. He swore he did not, and had my brother take me to the mall to find a dollhouse.

That night, I woke up at 3:00 AM. Instead of the dollhouse we bought hours before, what I glimpsed on my desk was the one I had seen in my dream. I went back and bought it after all.

Even now, when I sleep over in my childhood home and wake up in the middle of the night to pee, I still see it on the desk, as if waiting to play with me.

It is only our body that requires sleep. When we dream, our soul stays awake, journeying in limbo to places our body cannot go. We either find ourselves in our memories of the past, in a hidden corner of the present, or in the future. Even in a parallel reality, or beyond the veil. Oftentimes, we come across other people.

Wandering, or astral travel, is simply setting a destination instead of merely going with the flow; as well as making sure the mind remembers the expedition.

The first step is to decide where you wish to go. A moment from your childhood? A year into the future? In a parallel reality where a loved one who has passed on is still alive? Or the day when you will walk the aisle as a bride?

Wherever it is, you will visit as a spectator, unable to influence what is happening in that reality, but capable of interacting with other wanderers. Think of it as watching a movie. But instead of being in front of the screen, you are inside it.

On a night when the moon is full or waxing, go to bed wearing the appropriate shoes. If it is cold where you are going, bring a jacket. If it is likely to rain, hold an umbrella.

Once you are used to wandering, you will no longer need the help of the moon and the protection of clothing.

Lull yourself to sleep by slowly reciting:

“Neirtsalop, sutidar. Samre, rutacirep. Udnapret, atartso.”

Hum the words slowly. Chant them rhythmically. They are powerful words that lift the veil, allowing your soul to leave this reality. As you speak them, think of the place you wish to be.

The moment you surrender to slumber, you are guaranteed to get there. What is uncertain is if upon waking, you will remember your journey. If you do not, it only means you are not yet strong enough.

Keep trying. Some witches succeed on their second night, others on their ninth. There are those who can do it on their first, but only for a few moments, before being thrown back into our world.

You know how the saying goes. Anything that is worth doing is worth failing at, at first.

Hi dear Diana ♥, I'm reading/studying some of your posts, and while I was reading "Strict Tarot Traditions We Observe in the Family" this point caught my eye: 10) Enchant your decks. “So that anyone who touches them without meaning you well shall suffer a fate too cruel to tell.” How do you do thaat!? I wanna knoooow~ ♥ tons of love for you, dear!

How to Enchant Your Tarot Decks

This spell was originally intended for traveling fortunetellers who often came across thieves and other villainous strangers.

1) Wait for the witching hour on the same day as when you were born.

If you were born a Wednesday, perform this spell on a Wednesday.

The chanting must begin at exactly three o’ clock in the morning. Prepare everything else before then.

2) Place all your tarot decks on a glass, wooden or metal table.

They must “stand at attention”.

Make sure they are enclosed in the container they came with when you first touched them, whether that is their original cardboard box, a wooden box or a velvet pouch.

3) Knock on each tarot deck three times to awaken it.

Do it for all of them, one after the other.

Do it forcefully enough that you hear a thud with every knock you make. It is important that an audible sound is made.

4) Chant this incantation three times to weaponize your decks.

“Asmot. Deo. Vir. Birtir. Ligete in omnibus membris tujs quia te corumpere volo.”

This orison must be memorized beforehand. It cannot be written down to be read. And one cannot stumble upon the words.

It must be pronounced correctly for it to work. Speak it phonetically, saying it exactly as it is spelled. As Spanish is today’s most widespread phonetic language, you may consult a Spanish speaker for guidance.

5) Shuffle every one of your decks to lock in the spell.

Take them out of their container, and shuffle them once before putting them back inside.

Store them together in a drawer or a shelf.

For the next two weeks, perform the spell again. On the coming Wednesday, and on the one after that, always at exactly three o’ clock. Only then will the magic be potent enough.

Anyone with a pinch of malice against you who touches your cards or their container will suffer a bout of illness no medicine can cure.

Astrology and Elemental Imbalance

Elemental imbalances occur when an individual has a limited element present in their birth chart and most often an excess of another. An unattended imbalance can cause stress of extremes of an element being projected by ones personality (Think of the knights in the Tarot).

Having 10 planets in the natal chart, including the rising sign, we naturally have a high chance of having an elemental imbalance in our birth chart and personality.

An imbalance of elements often looks like a minimum of 2 planets in an element, often seen as only having 2-0 planets missing from being familiar with that elements associations.

Having aspects from planets  that naturally contain the missing elemental energies prominent in the natal chart (example, if you lack air but have many mercury aspects), this can aid the elemental lack, though it will not necessarily bring the elements in ones personality into balance for the planet will still be in an excess sign (example mercury in pisces), and it will still act accordingly to the element it’s placed in.

Fire Signs: Aries/Leo/Sagittarius 

Air Signs: Gemini/Libra/Aquarius 

Earth Signs: Taurus/Virgo/Capricorn 

Water Signs: Cancer/Scorpio/Pisces

How to balance your elements

When we are unbalanced, we either draw others to use (or us to them) to act as an external reflection of the things we lack within ourselves, however, its possible to engage in other activities that can help bring our elemental lack into appropriate balance that can allow for self-healing and improved wellness.

At times due to elemental imbalances in out chart, we may be drawn to another who has excess of the element we lack (even signs) as to experiences a sense of ‘ying and yang’ by interacting with another. You may find you personally may greatly clash with another, yet you are reluctant to part because they seem to ‘fulfil’ you in a way you can’t explain.

For the element you lack the most in your chart, see the table below to find out ways you can help bring the lacking element in your personality.
