I Have Stumbled Upon This Post Many Times And Every Time It Bothered Me That You Have To Scroll A Lot

Hello Diana, could you give me some advice to stop being afraid, what happens is that I want to invoke my ancestors or guides but I get scared, thank you

How to Fight Your Fear of the Occult

If you do not consider yourself a witch, then I do not know how to help you. Because I have witnessed countless non-witches be outrageously brave, and still get possessed, haunted or attacked by supernatural beings.

But if you think of yourself as a witch, then all you have to do is truly learn what that word means.

A witch is a mortal touched by magic.

Unlike the other humans in your midst, you can do incredible things. See beyond what the human 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.

One way or another, being a witch makes you special.

For this reason, you are a citizen of many realms. This physical one we live in is just one of them. The worlds of entities, immortals, ghosts, the undead, unborn souls… you belong to all of them.

Things that go bump in the night are just your fellow citizens inviting you to visit. These beings can help you hone your powers. If you are kind to them, they will grant you favors. Cinderella herself will be jealous of your own godmothers.

But being a witch is a two-way street. The powers that be granted you blessings so that you can share them with those in need.

Sometimes, the ghost who you think wants to kill you, only wants to tell you who killed them. So that there can be some closure for their grieving parents.

Which is why as a witch, it is best not to ignore any call. Heeding it can either grant you treasure, or allow you to give some to another.

So whenever you pass by a dark hallway and you find yourself feeling afraid… pause. Take a deep breath, and out loud, declare yourself:

“My name is Jane, and I am a witch. I straddle this world and the ones beneath and above it. I am not afraid of the occult. I thrive in it.”

This will tell your subconscious not to quiver, because you are at one with the mysteries of the Universe.

Astrology, the Basics

“Wait, so i’m not just an Aries?!”

No, you’re not. In fact none of us are just one anything. So let’s dial it back to day we were born. The stars and planets in the sky aligned to convey a story completely unique to you, and thus your natal chart was born!

   Our Sun sign

“Playboi, what’s a Sun Sign?”

Well, the Sun Sign is the sign everyone typically knows about themselves. It’s the sign you were born under that immediately correlates with your birthday. Meaning, “I was born in April so I’m a Taurus!” Your sun sign is the sign the Sun was in on the day of your birth. So what does the sun represent in astrology? Our vitality and ego, “who we are.” The thing about the Sun is we’re constantly growing into ourselves and our egos, constantly learning ourselves and strengths, so we’re constantly growing into our Suns. Many people write off astrology due to their inability to relate to their Sun signs when so much more goes into a person. Your Sun sign is less “who i am” and more so “who i’m becoming.” And sometimes we never fully become the poster child of our Sun signs because we grow at different rates and resonate with different things, not to mention the housing of the Sun plays a heavy role in how our “egos” will play out. Also aspects made to our Sun by other planets are most important as they shape our Sun’s characteristics, but that’s another post!

Our Moon Sign

“…okay, so I understand Sun Signs now, but what’s a moon sign?”

The moon sign in astrology is of immense importance. This is where we feel most comfortable and secure and our primal emotional reactions. As I mentioned previously, the sun is “who we’re becoming’’ while the moon can be defined as “who we always are.” Unlike the Sun who illuminates everything, the moon is a softer, dimmer light. It lights up the dark sky at night and it does the same for our personal dark sky emotionally. Simply put, the moon is our emotions. Emotions can be simply irrational and erratic, so we suppress them because throwing a hissy fit in public is not that endearing. My point being that our moons can sometimes be overlooked by others as well as our selves because the attributes of our moons are highly subconscious at times.The moon is how we were nourished, and in turn how we nourish others. It’s an extremely sentimental and personal part of our being.It’s what makes us feel safe as well as habitual patterns we carry. A balanced moon is very important as an unbalanced one can take a toll on us physically. When the needs our moon requires aren’t met, we can start to display it’s negative attributes and fall into a bit of a depression, eat less, and never leave your bed. Or perhaps become more aggressive and angry depending on your moon sign. It’s also equally important to understand that others around us have different moon placements then us natally. Everyone requires different things to feel emotionally secure, sometimes we’re harder on others because their love languages differ from our own.

   Our Mercury Sign

“What does Mercury have to do with anything?”

Well, everything. Mercury rules over the mind, how we think, how fast we think, how we learn, our speech, and even our style of writing. He’s the fastest moving planet in the solar system so it’s fitting that he rules the nervous system. The poor guy gets glossed over a lot until he turns retrograde and everyone starts running around like chickens missing their heads because that’s when we notice most how strong Mercury’s influence is on our lives. Mercury is not an emotional planet but more so an intellectual one. It’s how we asses things and use logic before we act, if we use logic before we act.

Our Venus Sign

“I KNOW THIS ONE…LOVE RIGHT?”

You’ve guessed it, Venus rules over romance but a lot more as well. She’s our social graces, if we have any social graces at all. How we charm others as well as what we personally find pleasurable. Venus rules over our attitude towards money and material things. How much we spend and how often we treat ourselves. What we like to eat, what tastes good, what feels good. Venus is also our attractiveness, and what we’re attracted to. She gives us a clue to our love language on a more superficial level, what it takes to woo us. How we like to be seduced and pursued. Venus is diplomatic, she shows us how we make peace with others. Venus also rules over artistry and how appreciate the arts and even the possibility of having artistic gifts as well. Venus also highlights our sexual nature in terms of what we find pleasurable, what feels right, and what we find acceptable.

Our Mars Sign

“Mars is our…anger?”

He can be, yes. After all he is the God of War. Mars in astrology represents energy. Our physical energy and vitality, and especially our sexual energy. He’s all about action, what it physically takes us to do…well, anything. He’s our day to day strength and drive. He exemplifies how aggressive and assertive we are. Our ambitions, durability, temperament, action, and drive. Do we exercise? How sexual are we? Our sexual style? Our competitiveness? All can be answered by our mars sign. Mars showcases how quick we are to anger, what makes us tick/explode. He’s also the last of the personal planets.

Our Jupiter Sign

“……”

Jupiter is the first non personal planet as it stays in the same for an entire year. Everyone born within that year will have the same Jupiter sign. That doesn’t negate Jupiter’s importance in anyway, so don’t skim over him. It just means we have take a closer look at him in our natal chart by examining his house placement and aspects made towards him by other planets. Jupiter rules over good fortune, philosophy, travel, and higher level learning (different from mercury.) He is expansive and optimistic. He’s a grand catalyst to spiritual growth. He’s where we overindulge, our generosity, and wisdom.

Our Saturn Sign

“So what does Saturn do?”

Saturn is like our astrological father. He sets the rules and regulations, the routine. And like when we disobey our paternal father there’s consequences the same applies for Saturn. Saturn is not out to punish anyone, he just returns anything we put out into the universe. “What goes around comes around.” Sound familiar? Saturn rules over Karma. Saturn in our chart shows us where he grounds us, where we must be held responsible, where we must work hard. Our careers, the practicality of how we achieve success.

Our Uranus Sign

“and Uranus?”

Uranus is a much slower moving planet. His energy is very erratic, spontaneous, and rebellious. He’s extremely progressive and an advocate for originality. Uranus has to be looked at by house placement to determine its effects on us individually, as people from the same generation will share the same Uranus sign. Uranus in our charts will show us where we are unpredictable and rebellious. How and where we go against the grain. Our humanitarian side. How interested in activism we are, where we are liberated ourselves.

Our Neptune Sign

“that Sea God?”

Indeed. Neptune is the God of the Sea. In astrology Neptune rules over spirituality, all things hazy, confusion, love and romance on a deeper, ethereal level. He is illusions and our dreams. Intuition and psychic abilities. Neptune has dominion over deeper creativity and artistic abilities. He also shows us where we might try to escape reality and what we may try to use to escape reality with. He is addiction, substance abuse, and deception. Our fantasies. 

Our Pluto Sign

“isn’t Pluto like not even a planet anymore?”

Yes, technically Pluto is a planetoid, but we still refer to Pluto as a planet in astrology so he will be respected as such! Despite his small size and the grand amount of distance he is from us his effects are undeniable.Pluto in our charts shows us where we are transformed and regenerated. Where we must die to be born again. His energy is very subconscious, we don’t always see it, but we feel it.  He is obsession, and our hunger for power, where we struggle for power. He is how we react to sex on a deeper, subconscious level. Where and what we become drawn and attached to. His energy is very primal. He also highlights where we’re manipulative or jealous if we’re displaying the negative attributes of Pluto. 

Our Ascendant Sign

“our…what sign?”

Our Ascendant sign is crowned the ruler of our chart, and is of equal importance as our Sun and Moon signs. It’s specific to our birth time and location. The Ascendant is like the mask we put on to face the world. It’s our initial reaction to external forces. The lens we see life through on a day to day basis. Our ascendant is our physical bodies, how we look and how we act in public. It’s how people initially receive you, our first impressions, our mannerisms. Our outer personality. If people were to describe you they’d likely describe this sign.

So, as you can see a lot goes into a persons personality even more than what’s been mentioned above, humans are complex beings who can’t be described as just one sign, or one anything. We are more than our sun signs, we are more than signs period.

Khronos & Kronos

(AKA Chronos & Cronus/Saturn) 

Although these two deities are separate beings, they are very similar in most aspects, so I decided to make a post designed for both of them! 

Small devotional acts.

Wake up early - enjoy the dawn.

Schedule your activities.

Buy a new time-keeping device.

Listen to slow or fast paced music.

Wander around stores with no particular goal in mind.

Be ruthless, but wise, in getting what you want. 

Watch the clock as it ticks.

Embrace the moments where you’re stuck with nothing to do.

Go to bed and wake up at a regular time.

Play a game that has a time limit.

Make/buy a sundial. 

Watch timelapse videos.

Take a long bath.

Don’t take shit from abusive/cruel power figures.

Get an hourglass.

Learn the history of time-keeping in different cultures - it may go back further than you think!

Hang out in liminal places, like a train station or waiting area.

Take what you want.

Either have an abundance of time pieces or none in your room, whichever feels best to you!

Go for long drives, where everything starts to feel blurry. 

 Meditate. Find timelessness.

Please don’t eat your children.

PRACTICE LOVING YOURSELF.

Many, many, many other things not said here.

The awkward elevator rides continue

Moon in capricorn-

That hit home for me oh my gosh

The Wounded Moon

Moon in Aries: Feels ill equipped for the world. A temperamental, abandoned child. There is often a fight for survival, a fanatic charge by a screaming inner child who has been lacerated and left here. Suffers migraines. Coping mechanisms may not be developed, the individual may constantly lapse into the framework of the abandoned or bruised child during times of stress or heavy emotions. 

Moon in Taurus: Strongly fears being abandoned, and despite giving an aura of calm, the insides resemble quicksand. Can privately binge, over indulge, and self destruct. Feels easily rundown or catches colds easily. Struggles letting go of anything with their emotional investment. Can be haunted by memories.

Moon in Gemini: Emotions are too confusing and complex to be made sense of. The emotional nature can feel like a personality of its own. It’s hard because the individual just wants somebody to teach them how to feel and what to do. Inner needs change rapidly. The individual neglects their own emotional needs, often invalidating their authenticity 

Moon in Cancer: Fears of being left are consuming. The emotional reactivity, fears, and demands of the inner child express the individual’s deep feelings of inadequacy regarding their own sensitivity. The individual leaves claw marks on anybody who tries to leave 

Moon in Leo: The devouring needs of the inner child charter relationships. The individual is drawn to the comfort of unconditional love, safety, and validation that was denied as a child. Severely wounded by invalidation, they search for a mother figure everywhere they go. Reacts dramatically, but fails at explaining themselves leaving people unsure of how to help 

Moon in Virgo: The temperament is a battlefield and the nervous system is in overdrive. During times of distress, the reflex is to withdraw and martyr themselves. Their agitation can be unpredictable. Emotional distress manifests through physical and digestive changes and lack of wellbeing. 

Moon in Libra: Emotional needs are disregarded and ignored. Often the individual feels that their own traumas and experiences are less valid than others. The hollowness inside could swallow the universe. Requires a very close relationship with the mother and becomes severely wounded if this is not actualised. 

Moon in Scorpio: Emotional experiences are intense and lonely. The inner child is screaming, self destructing, and demanding answers for its isolated existence. Pelvic cramps with no organic causation. Early betrayals and traumas run into deep ledges of the psyche and can rule the individual’s whole emotional life and responsiveness as an adult. 

Moon in Sagittarius: The feeling of being lost can become consuming. This can generate a powerful need to control, or be in control. Feelings of escapism infuse with rage and cause severe reactivity. The individual can struggle managing substance misuse. The moon is sentimental and fixed, the moon wants safety and security and time away to be held and nurtured. Sagittarius desires the opposite. Two conflicting needs collide. There is no safe place. 

Moon in Capricorn: Afraid to ask, the individual secretly longs for comfort and guidance. There is a frightened child in the body of a full grown adult. The individual is wounded by their lost childhood. The world feels hostile and unwelcoming, cold and unforgiving. 

Moon in Aquarius: Feelings are intense and unforgiving, the individual feels compelled to distance themselves from emotions to restrict them from becoming ultimately consuming. The condition of human existence is devastating. During severe emotional torment, the Lunar Aquarius can experience complete numbness and the sense of exit from their own bodies. 

Moon in Pisces: Loneliness is exaggerated here. An emotional compass without any direction, feelings take on a life of their own. All life, love, and suffering is born and dies here. Spiritually insatiable, can devote themselves to any guide, creed, or guru that seems to offer salvation.

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.

How to Speak to the Dead with Tarot

Step 1: State your question.

Speaking aloud while shuffling the cards, ask your higher power to use your deck as a conduit between you and your loved one on the other side. Then state the question you would like to ask the dead.

Step 2: Ask for permission.

Draw and lay the first six cards of the Celtic Cross.

Ace of Cups – The Reason

Why does the querent want to speak to the dead?

Do not choose this card yourself. Your deck will pick it for you. It will have listened to you while you were shuffling.

The High Priestess – The Doubt

What does the querent want the dead to shed light on?

Again, let your deck pick this card.

Four of Wands – The Confirmation

What kind of relationship did the querent and the dead have?

If you had a harmonious relationship, and the card does not reflect this, stop. There is someone else present. Not the one you wish to speak to. Try again later.

Nine of Swords – The Problem

What does the querent need help with from the dead?

Your deck will pick this card for you.

The Chariot – The Permission

Is the dead willing to speak to the querent at this moment?

Cards that show movement, such as The Chariot, count as yes. Stagnant cards, such as The Hanged Man, mean no. Your loved one could be preoccupied or uninterested in your question. Respect their decision.

Temperance – The Initial or Final Message

If the answer is yes to the previous question, what is the first thing the dead wishes to tell the querent? If it is no, is there anything at all that the dead wishes to tell the querent?

If permission is not given, stop here. Say thank you, and try again the next day. If it is given, proceed.

Step 3: Finish the reading.

Six of Swords – The Advice

What advise does the dead impart regarding the querent’s question?

If the outcome later on is negative, taking this advice can improve it. If it is positive, following this advise will ensure it.

The Hermit – The Environment

What does the dead say is surrounding the querent?

The querent will usually agree. If it seems to not resonate, it only means the querent was not aware. It could be a pleasant prediction or a friendly warning.

Seven of Swords – The Hope or Fear

What does the dead believe the querent is hoping for or fearing?

If the card is positive, it is the hope. Otherwise, it is the fear.

Page of Wands, Knight of Cups, Three of Cups – The Ultimate Outcome

What is the dead’s answer to the querent’s question?

These cards are read as one. See how they interact. Look at it as a scene.

Ace of Wands – The Underworld

What does the dead believe can help or hinder the querent?

If the card is positive, it can help. Otherwise, it can hinder.

Step 4: Express your gratitude.

Thank your loved one on the other side for the conversation… your higher power for the permission… and your cards for the connection.

Step 5: Remember the answers.

Note down the cards, or even better, take a picture of the spread to remember your loved one’s messages for you. It is not an option to restart the conversation and ask the same question because you forgot the answers. Tarot does not enjoy it, and the dead downright hate it.
