Hi Diana ! I Wonder if there is a way to get to know your psychic ability/power with tarot ? I Always got the king of wands (sometimes the Queen) but the king have been here since i started
In this, as in many other things, tarot and astrology are linked.
See if you have any of these supernatural and mystical placements.
For example: If you have Neptune in the Third House, you have the gift of hypnotism. If you have Pluto in the Twelfth, you have the gift of mind reading.
For some, this may be all you need. But if you require further verification, proceed.
The Major Arcana and the Court Cards are tied to the planetary rulers and their dominions.
For example: The Magician represents Mercury, and the Knight of Pentacles represents Virgo.
You do not need to memorize this. But keep a list handy for the next step.
Using the Celtic Cross, invoke whom you will and ask them for a truthful revelation of your gifts.
If you pull two cards that pertain to the same gift, then you can rest assured that you have the potential to master it.
To illustrate: We know from Step 1 that Mercury in Virgo bestows the gift of physical healing. So if you draw both Mercury’s and Virgo’s cards as listed in Step 2, then certainly, you have this ability.
The Saturn rings symbolise the laws of karma, so obstruction with Saturn is somewhat inevitable. But Saturn also constructs internal conditions and rationalisations that result in external obstructions, and it’s most likely the prime experience we are consciously attempting to circumvent that we create. Certainly, Saturn can be the devil inside, re-enforcing to us why we deserve what we fear the most
🖤 Saturn in the 1st - There is a consuming need to be loved, accepted, respected, and valued. But the mask can be so tightly sewn and programmed that the light is dim and people don’t have an opportunity to truly see them, the connections can therefore seem vague or unreal, but they don’t expose enough of themselves to make these relationships possible
🖤 Saturn in the 2nd - The sense of being unworthy and void of value makes it difficult to enjoy what they have worked so hard for. They fear missing out on life to survive, but they can be so focused on surviving they forget to live, indulge, and remind themselves that they are important
🖤 Saturn in the 3rd - Thought patterns regarding lack of intelligence and reduced sense of mental value can create paralysis in the mind. Fear of fearing an exam can become so consuming that the mind is worn down by the time pen is put to paper. They can see the work on the board and feel reduced, telling themselves over and over that they are too ‘dumb’ to learn it and missing everything the teacher says in the meantime
🖤 Saturn in the 4th - Fear of change can bind the individual very closely to mental and physical conditions. They can lean dependently on personal routines and practices until they become self-destructive ritual and they are forced with desperation to make the substantial internal reflection and change they shy from. It can reach such a low they may be forced to change residence
🖤 Saturn in the 5th - The sense of not being special enough to love can blind romantic opportunities when they present themselves, the individual can shut off from the person’s affections despite their need and desires, feeling that soon they will be exposed for what they are. The person may feel unworthy of a child or in desperate need for one, increasing stress on the body and physiology and obstructing its natural processes
🖤 Saturn in the 6th - Fear of losing employment can create a nervous or vigilant nature at work that draws exactly what they attempt to avoid the most - attention. Intense self-consciousness can cause them to make unusual mistakes before superiors and act of of character, much to their detriment
🖤 Saturn in the 7th - The image of the perfect, solid, and unproblematic relationship can be so consuming that the individual searches for a conditioned and constructed ‘spark’ or ‘feeling’ when seeking a prospective partner. It can be so tightly regulated that they ignore, deny, or evade the natural, mysterious, and evocative sensations they generate with the people who can provide what they are searching for
🖤 Saturn in the 8th - Fear of exposure, vulnerability, and submission can occlude the flow into natural intimacy and interpersonal trust with lovers. They individual can fear the process of letting go and allowing instinct to take over, instead they can watch themselves, create pains, and fail to build into that peak of union they deeply long for
🖤 Saturn in the 9th - There is significant desire to accredit and accomplish the mind, but feelings of intellectual invalidity can cause the individual to doubt their potential and withhold enrolling into higher education due to ‘never feeling ready’. The intense fear of failing and high expectation can create such severe nerves and mental paralysis that university is extended due to illness, underperformance, and reconfiguring the course
🖤 Saturn in the 10th - Fear of failure or unreadiness blind successful opportunities when they present themselves, and seeming like they are making no progress only exacerbates this complex. Self-lowering beliefs can obstruct them from stepping into the world they desire to conquer
🖤 Saturn in the 11th - There can be significant self-consciousness with friends, the taunting complex that they are disliked or purposely left out of things. It can make them quiet and withdrawn socially and threatens the substantial connections they crave because friends have a hard time knowing who this person really is
🖤 Saturn in the 12th - There is a highly tuned instinct and a great inner knowing that the inner waters lead to the right direction. But they can feel unworthy or undeserving of intuition or helpful guidance and put it down to childishness. There can be a need to prime and perfect the intuition to such acute degree that the flow from heaven is substantially obstructed

Hi Diana I recently kept getting signs and feelings that pointed me in the direction of witchcraft and paganism and I’ve accepted that something is trying to call me to these beliefs is that sounds right. My question is where do I start? There is so much information going around and I don’t want to anger anything or get something wrong. What you recommend for someone is is just starting their journey into this religion
Witches could already be practicing for decades, and still, every day, they keep learning new things. That is how wide-ranging and wonderful this path is.
But when taking your first steps, there is no need to be overwhelmed. For now, start with these. Forget everything else.
Just because Aphrodite is trending on Twitter does not mean you should worship her. And just because crystals look good on Instagram does not mean you should start your own collection. Your practice should be tailored to your soul, not to the posts on your dashboard.
So go to Café Astrology and enter your birthdate. It will calculate your natal chart, which is basically the manual to your life. It lets you know your strengths and weaknesses so you can let the former make up for the latter. This website not only shows you the details, it also explains what they mean.
Now that you have a better knowing of yourself, look beyond your existence. Who do you think made you?
Investigate your lineage as much as you can. Was your family always Christian? Jewish? Atheist? Or did your ancestors have a more traditional belief? Having an inherent connection to the old gods means inviting them into your life will be much easier. If you feel a strong affinity with the Greco-Roman gods particularly, use your natal chart to confirm your theory.
But if after much meditation, you find yourself believing that the source is not a divinity, but the cosmos as a whole, then feel free to embrace that energy.
Our eyes can only see what is right in front of us. Divination allows us to see beyond that, and look into the forgotten past… the hidden present… and the future in all its glory.
Tarot is one of the richest divination systems in existence. Here is how you can learn it in one day. But if you feel that it is not for you, there are many alternatives too. Do you enjoy meditating? You might fall in love with scrying.
One of the best things about witchcraft and paganism is that they empower you to improve your life with magic.
Is there a danger you need to protect yourself from? A wound that you need to close? A wrong that you need to right? Whatever it is, there is a spell for it.
Start with the simplest ones. All you need are a few ingredients and ton of faith to make them work.
Now that you know who you really are… where your faith truly lies… how to see beyond the obvious… and how to tweak reality to make life easier… you are officially a practitioner.
It is time to expand your knowledge even further. Read as many books as you like. Try as many methods of divination as possible. Perform as many spells as you can.

Hi, Miss Diana. While doing a spell today, my kitten (usually a rambunctious little thing), sat with me until I closed the spell, at that point which she returned to her mischievous self. It's happened a few times while reading tarot or placing offerings. She doesnt fall asleep, but she watches, sniffs, or sits right by me. Do you know much about working with familiars or if she's just tuning into the energy? Much love !
By itself, no animal has supernatural powers.
The word familiar means intimate or personal. Familiars are entities, ghosts, spirits and other supernatural beings who share in the intimate and personal nature of your practice.
Your familiar is likely to be a demon who is tied to your bloodline, a fairy who resides in your garden, a ghost of someone who used to live inside your house, or the spirit of one of your ancestors.
Or, to use a phrase that New Agers will understand, your familiar is your spirit guide possessing your pet.
Demons, fairies and other entities are like humans in that they have their own busy lives. Only when they sense you performing a spell could they choose to take over your pet and offer their help.
Similarly, ghosts are busy reliving their past life to always be around. They will only possess your pet when they sense supernatural activity in the house. Unlike entities, they prefer to just watch quietly.
Ancestors are far more complex. Most of them are alive today in a new reincarnation. It is their higher self who comes to the aid of their descendants. In doing this, sometimes they choose to become a familiar. There are times when they merely observe, and times when they contribute.
When a ritual is done, they leave the animal. At such moments, these animals can no longer be considered familiars. That is why you will see them doing undignified things (i.e., normal animal behavior) not aligned with the demeanor of occult beings.
A familiar chooses to become one for many reasons. Some entities do because they like helping humans. Some ghosts do because they are simply curious. Ancestors would only do this when they think a witch is weak and needs assistance.
Familiars choose to take over animals because their presence as their true selves could interfere during spells. Confining themselves to a living body prevents them from emitting too much energy.
Hello Lilian, do you have any recommendations for basic daily protection? I wear an evil eye, but was wondering if there’s anything else you might recommend that is good for personal safety and the safety of my loved ones. My anxiety is so bad these days and I’m hoping to have a bit of peace of mind. Thank you ❤️
I have quite a few recommendations actually ❤️
First, I would like to point out that the evil eye charm does not actually do anything to protect one from envy or other negative energies; it is simply just a folk charm. We have them everywhere in Greece, though if they actually had some power, so many people would not be getting affected still. So instead, one should use crystals, which act as amulets and talismans since they actually are imbued with spiritual energies and planetary connections (unlike evil eye trinkets).
I would advise that you use these following stones, and to use as many as you like:
Alexandrite: keep on you in order for it to dispel negative energy out of your body and back to whoever caused it (no matter if it was intentional or not).
Snowflake Obsidian: carry it on you and touch it before going outside while asking for it to protect your energy. This stone helps keep you grounded and more energized.
Jet: this stone protects against curses
Black Tourmaline: this stone protects against negative energy and is also a healing stone. In order to use it for healing, you must place it on your bare stomach and slowly turn in around in a circle, then lay it still for about a minute or until your energy feels better. It is good to use this after being around other people, since their negative emotions can get built up inside our astral bodies; this stone takes that away.
Star Sapphire: this stone acts as a guard against negative energy, but is unable to block all of it
As a note, if any of these stones are on jewelry, you will need to ritually bless the piece of jewelry in order for it to activate the stone.
In the spirit of Samhain which comes ever so close, here is a list of stones you can use to help you connect, channel, and feel your ancestors and loved ones on the otherside.
Amber is neither a stone nor a mineral. It is a resin that oozed from prehistoric forests millions of years ago. Sometimes, encased inside are insects and even small animals, preserved through the ages as they were when they were alive. Because of this, amber is a stone of immortality, of life after death, thus it was often placed inside graves of the deceased to symbolize their eternal life. Use this old, old, resin to connect with ancestors down the ancestral line. Bonus is there is a little critter in yours!
Fallen trees take a hundred years to petrify. Add that to how old the tree could have been when it fell and you have a good hefty amount of time. In sort, these stone are ancient. Trees already symbolize wisdom, knowledge, and family so using petrified wood to connect to your family tree and reach your roots is perfect. I can’t think of a better stone!
Bloodstone’s link to blood can be traced back to as far as five thousand years ago in ancient Mesopotamia. It has long since been used to help circulation and ailments of the blood. When connecting with our ancestors, our bloodline is an important link to them. The DNA in our blood contains little genetic bits and pieces from those who have come before us. Nothing can be created or destroyed in nature. The DNA in our blood is not new, it has existed since the beginning of time and was passed down to us. Use bloodstone to tap into this, to connect, to travel through the bloodline into your ancestry as far as you would like to go.
These little triangles hold information. They hold records of what was and what is. They record the history of earth since the beginning of time. They hold the history of earth creatures, the secrets of our evolution. They are links into the akashic records. Use them to access your heritage, your ancestors and your lost loved ones.
I chose garnet for a similar reason as I chose the bloodstone. Garnet also has a strong association with blood and it’s also associated with fire and sexuality which gives me strong life vibes. I see using this crystal as a guide to take someone living through their blood into their ancestry.
Skull shapes are perfect for channeling and connect with ancestors and lost loved one. The shape resembles a human who has gone to the other side. If you have a bloodstone skull, all the better!
If you have a necklace or a wallet or something that someone had, it works all the better to connect with that person specifically and to call them to you from the other side.
Music is always something that helps me connect. Here are a few songs you can use to help you if you’d like. These are my go to for connecting with ancestors and loved ones. Celtic Music - Walking with the Ancestors https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aa25ZdYCNLA Calling the Others - Anilah https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUNSD063yxw Wardruna - Helvegen (the way to Hel) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DD65K4VR6Lw Oldest Welsh Lullaby: Dinogad’s Smack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBl7ZFI-QP8 *Because this is so old, dating to the 7th century, it always brings me to a place to think about my ancestors even though my ancestors are not Welsh.

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!)
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.
Physically, I’m trying to do all my reading for class.
Mentally, I’m imagining running across the English countryside.
Dearest Diana, I hope you are well. I wanted to ask for a spell today. Specifically, I want to meet someone again. A quick crossing of our paths is all I need. I do not have a taglock. If it’s not too much to ask I would greatly appreciate it if it was not a ‚dream spell‘ as I have never had a single dream (or I simply can’t remember them. If you happen to have some insight/tips about this as well I’d be grateful). Thank you so much for all the knowledge you provide 🌹
This ritual only works if you have met the person previously. If sending them a text or giving them a call is something you can do easily, it will fail. It will only stir if your subconscious knows that this is the only solution available.
On a night when the moon is a waxing crescent, be alone where the floor is stone or wooden. Think of the person’s face as you light a white taper candle. Place it in front of you. Use the wax to make it stand up on the floor. Do not use a candlestick. That will block the light from reaching the person’s vibrations.
Turn off all the other lights except for the candle’s. If natural or artificial light is coming in from a window, block it. Mimic your position when you first or last met this person. If you were standing then, do so again now. If you were sitting or lying down, then position yourself similarly.
Take deep breaths to calm your mind. Then close your eyes and imagine your previous meeting. But this time, tweak it. If the person stormed out in anger, then this time around, imagine them calming down and staying with you. If the meeting was somehow cut short, this time, make it last for as long as you want.
With your consciousness still in the imagined environment, tell the other person why you wish to meet again. No matter how shameful or embarrassing the reason may be, you need to be clear and honest. Telepathy rarely works when your thoughts are deceptive.
Imagine them leaving. If in your mind, you are in a bus station, see the bus arriving, and them getting on it. if you are in a bedroom, see them walking towards the door and closing it behind them. Whatever you do, do not leave the session without closure. You would be trapping their subconscious.
Open your eyes and blow out the candle. Do not use a snuffer. Your breath should extinguish the light, as a way to say goodbye. Then get on with your life. The person will reach out to you once they have had the time to digest the emotion-powered messages you sent their subconscious.
