Ways To Worship Discreetly

Greetings Dearest Diana ❤, i noticed that many of the incantations and magic words you share are extracted from a diverse set of european grimoires, you also elaborated new methods to use them other than that mentioned in the original texts. So I would greatly appreciate it if you taught me how it is done because i compiled many magic words from grimoires written in different languages but i am not very flexible in my ability to use them outside the way shown in the original manuscripts thnx !💐

Actually, it is the other way around.

The knowledge passed down to us by our ancestors predates the mass-produced European grimoires you may have encountered.

Since these grimoires were written down by paid copyists who knew nothing of the occult, they are replete with misspellings, misuses and misinformation, such as the deliberate exaggeration of the origins of the rituals, of the exoticness of the spell ingredients, and of the gore involved in witchcraft. This was done for marketing and sales purposes.

Because my family knows the original uses of these incantations and orisons, it is easy for us to adapt them to 21st-century-user-friendly rituals.

If you click the links above, I explain how useful these famous, semi-fraudulent grimoires can be to those who are studying the craft. I also mention the ones I recommend that can help you enrich your path.

harry: oh hey are you back from hogsmeade-

ron: shack's haunted

harry: ...what?

ron, chugging a bottle of felix felicis and grabbing his wand: shack's haunted

For me it’s ✨🥰♑️💕♌️ sounds about right-

your first column of emojis describes your personality! what’s yours?

Dear Lady D, hope you're doing great today! My boyfriend's mom gave me access to his birth chart via his birth time haha. He's aware too. :) I was wondering what to look at or how to read a natal chart when reading about love or compatibility? Thank you, Lady D!

HOW TO READ A BIRTH CHART FOR LOVE COMPATIBILITY

Contrary to what you may think, you do not need to go into endless details. Checking the stars for love compatibility is quite simple and easy.

STEP 1: Know which signs are compatible.

They are Earth and Water, then Fire and Air.

Which means Earth signs Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo are compatible with any of the Water signs, Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. And vice versa.

This is because Water is wild and shapeless, but Earth can tame it and give it form. While Earth is dry and hard. But water can soften it and blend with it to create bridges and castles.

Additionally, Fire signs Aries, Leo and Sagittarius are compatible with any of the Air signs, Libra, Aquarius and Gemini. Again, vice versa.

This is because a wildfire never dies as long as there is wind to fuel it. And Air is invisible, but near Fire, you can see its dancing silhouette. They strengthen each other, creating the perfect blend of warmth and chill.

Zodiac signs belonging to the same element also go well together, but they are not as compatible as the above. Because too much similarity can create boredom or competition, which can destroy a connection.

STEP 2: Consider the modality.

If Step 1 revealed incompatibility, do not be disheartened just yet.

Know that Cardinal and Mutable tend to be compatible, while Fixed likes to seek itself.

Which means Cardinal signs Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn should find comfort with any of the Mutable signs, Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini and Virgo. Vice versa applies.

This is because both Cardinal and Mutable signs straddle two seasons: Cardinals sit between the end of the last season and the beginning of their own, while Mutables sit between the end of their season and the beginning of another. They know what it is like to be flexible.

As for Fixed signs Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius, they should find kinship in one another.

This is because Fixed signs sit right in the middle of their season. Taurus in the middle of Spring; Leo in the middle of Summer; Scorpio in the middle of Fall; and Aquarius in the middle of Winter. That makes them solid, strong, stable. They can trust one another.

Modality compatibility should temper elemental incompatibility. 

STEP 3: Look beyond the Sun.

If both Step 1 and Step 2 revealed incompatibility, again, do not be disheartened.

Yes, your Sun is your personality. Your overall behavior. And in a natal chart, it is superior to all others.

But we are talking about love. And that domain is not owned by the Sun. It belongs to Venus. So perform Step 1 and Step 2 again, but this time, forget the Sun, and look at Venus instead.

STEP 4: Be honest with yourself.

Is it really love compatibility you wish to determine between you and another?

Because if it is just sex, then looking at Mars and Pluto would be what is accurate. Mars rules our desires, while Pluto rules our genitals. So perform Step 1 and Step 2 again, but this time, forget the Sun and Venus.

Or perhaps you are asexual or aromantic, and are only looking for some sort of companionship. Then look to the Moon and Neptune. For the Moon rules our subconscious emotions while Neptune rules our unconscious emotions. Outside of romance and sex, they define how we express and receive affection.

Then again, maybe you do not care about any kind of love at this stage, and are wondering instead how well you would get along with your boss, business partner or roommate.

For your boss, check your Saturn, for this planet rules authority. For your business partner, check Jupiter, for he rules equality. For your roommate, check Uranus, who rules casual connections. Additionally, for all three, check Mercury. For he rules how we communicate outside of intimate environments.

STEP 5: Try one last time.

If all of the above revealed incompatibility, all hope is not lost.

Whatever kind of compatibility you are looking for, your Rising sign is bound to play a role.

For if your Sun sign is King, your Rising sign is his queen. And even if Venus is Hand of the King in romance, and Mars and Pluto are Lords Commander in sex, the queen is still closer to the king and holds authority over them.

So for the last time, perform Steps 1 and 2 again, but this time, look at your Rising sign.

If, at the end of this post, you find yourself filled with sadness at your undeniable incompatibility with your person, know that when it comes to the identity of your soulmate, the stars alone do not dictate.

Hello there! Hope you're having a wonderful day ❤️ and also wishing you a very happy new year 🥂 I wanted to ask you if you could suggest some questions that we can ask our deck, when we first get it, for self-readings? Thank you!

When I have a new deck, what I do is not an interview but an agreement.

I overhand shuffle the cards face side up, while telling them my name... what I need them to do for me... and what I promise to do for them in return.

After my every statement, I note the card that lands on top. That is my deck's response.

"My name is Diana. You are mine now."

Card on top is Strength, with the lady petting a lion. My deck is submitting to my authority.

"I need you to speak only with the voice of The Fates and of Venus."

Card on top is the Six of Cups, with a boy handing a gift to a girl. My deck is promising to give me what I asked for.

"Though sometimes, Mars and Pluto speak to me too. Do let them through."

Card on top is Death. The card of Scorpio, whose ancient ruler is Mars and whose modern ruler is Pluto. My deck says yes.

"In exchange, I promise to take care of you."

Card on top is the Two of Cups, with a loving couple. My deck would love that very much.

"You will not rot on a shelf. I will always come to you for help."

Card on top is The Fool, with a man ready to begin. My deck likes the sound of that and cannot wait to start.

"I will not use you in crowded places and on dirty surfaces. You will be highly regarded."

Card on top is the Nine of Pentacles, with a privileged woman safe in her lush garden. Yes, my deck would enjoy being protected and pampered.

"But be careful not to let anyone else through."

Card on top is the Seven of Wands, with a man on the defense. My deck will make sure they cannot enter.

"Unless of course I summon someone in particular."

Card on top is the Knight of Wands, with a traveling knight on a horse. Yes, if someone specific has been called, my deck will open itself to that soul.

"So let us do our first reading."

Card on top is The Sun — a happy child with open arms and nothing on. My deck will gladly tell me all I need to know. There are no truths it will not show.

Optimizing Your Days of the Week

**Exceptions for daily aspects & planetary positions of course**

I've been drawn to a few Greek deities for a while now, how to know the signs that they're trying to reach out? If that makes sense?

The old gods are not subtle. They are proud. They demand to be seen, heard, felt.

• They give you visions while you are awake.

• They whisper to you before you fall asleep.

• They send you unbelievably vivid dreams.

• Their portraits move, showing you if they are pleased or if they disapprove.

• They appear to you while you are divining, through tarot or scrying.

The Greco-Roman Gods in Tarot

This is how they show themselves to me… how they always have to the women in my family.

• The Fates – The Wheel of Fortune

• Venus – The Empress

• Pluto – Judgement

• Mars – The Tower

• Uranus – The Fool

• Neptune – The Hanged Man

• Saturn – The World

• Mercury – The Magician

• Charon – Death

• Jupiter – The Emperor

• Apollo – The Chariot

• Diana – Strength

• Athena – The Star

• Asclepius – Temperance

• The Graces – Three of Cups

• Hephaestus – Eight of Pentacles

• Dionysus – Nine of Cups

Unlike other gods, they do not love you by default. You have to initiate. Only then will they respond. They do not care for quiet devotion. They want bold admiration. And once you are their advocate, an insult to you is an insult to them. So expect decency from others. Or burn them to a cinder.

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.
