How To Read Draconic Chart? :)

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.

Hello Diana!! I hope you’re well!! I was just wondering if you could please offer some tips for when tarot readings become lackluster? I have been doing the same spreads for each individual client over and over, could it just be that? I want to make my readings more thrilling and exciting. What could I incorporate? Thank you 🥰🤍✨

Harry: but if Voldemort has failed a countless amount of times what chance does the next person have?-

Hermione: for the last time Harry, when someone threatens to kill you, the correct response isn’t ‘Then do it, pussy!’

Is there anything about familiar or the personnal daemon in your tradition ? Sorry if it's too personnal i study agrippa's "witchcraft" he often speak about this being a old believe in greek tradition.. iloveyousomuch

There is a story my mother used to tell me about demons.

It starts like Rapunzel’s.

There was a man who wandered into a vegetable field. It was so vast that he did not think it stealing to take a couple of crops. He believed the farmer would not miss them.

And for a second he thought he was right. He bumped into the farmer, who told him, “You can keep them. But next time, ask for permission.”

The man thanked him and walked straight home. The trip took him less than half an hour. But when he arrived, he was welcomed with tears of shock, relief and joy alike.

It appears he had been gone for weeks.

It was a demon’s field he came upon. And demons do not like thieves.

If the old gods are queens, demons are ladies-in-waiting.

They are not divine, and their powers are limited, but they are immortal, and can help or ruin humans. They are spirits.

The Abrahamic religions, because of their strict belief in one god, had to demean their power, by adding evil to their description, so people will look down on them. So their god will have fewer competition.

My family has always had a strong relationship with demons. We do not worship them, but we respect them. And in spells like this one, it is they who respond, not our divine father or mother.

We believe them to be old ones. They live in forests. Forests that are now filled with houses. And that is why every house has one or more demons. Not because they need humans to thrive, but because we took over their home, and they had to learn to live with us.

They can grant and take away whatever good or bad thing you can think of. But since they are not gods, it will always have a limit.

For this reason, some witching families are afraid to work with them, thinking them to be whimsical and untrustworthy. The truth is, even though they wish to keep helping their humans, their capacity to give simply runs out.

So one should be careful what to request of them. Ask for money to buy shoes, not a car. Ask them to make you look your best for a special occasion, not to change the color of your eyes. Ask for the attention of someone you admire, not for marriage to that person. Blessings of a fleeting nature. That is what they are good at.

In exchange, one must treat them like the wisest of pets. Offer them food and water. Give them their own space. And if they like you, they will show themselves. The ones in my childhood home look like elves.

You said that witchcraft may not be for some people but how do I know that? I personally love nature so much & I feel very relaxed when I meditate or do such things, does my love for magic actually matter? Does that determine if magick is for me or not? Some of my spells have worked but the majority didn't & I'm also not sure if these were just coincidences or if they were the spells, but it always happened as I mentioned in the spell & after I cast it so I'm guessing it was me?? Idk really, I just want to know, is my love for magic enough to make me a witch?

5 Clues that You are Meant for Witchcraft

1) You have at least one obvious supernatural gift or psychic ability.

2) Most of what is on this list are true for you, even if not so strongly.

3) You have gone through, or are experiencing, some level of awakening.

4) At least one divination method, such as tarot, feels very natural to you.

5) You love the occult and, for the most part, have overcome your fear of it.

If the above apply to you, but only weakly, then strengthen it with practice. Otherwise, you might be wasting your time.

WHAT’S YOUR PERSONALITY?

I am SUN, and MOON is what makes me feel emotionally happy, but I express myself in MERCURY way. When it comes to love, I will be VENUS, but when I get angry, I become MARS. Though people see me as RISING. 

Life systematically challenges me to SATURN. My sense of humour is JUPITER. I’m URANUS when it comes to changes and I have the imagination of NEPTUNE. My secret energy and individual powers are aimed at PLUTO. 

Oh, and not to forget, I’ll be absolutely successful as MIDHEAVEN.

My deepest inner self can be compared to DOMINANT PLANET/DOMINANT SIGN.

Hi love! Thank you for all the work you do — your blog is incredible. I wanted to ask you about offerings. I know you mentioned dark chocolate when you do personal readings; what else do you use for offerings, and can you talk about them in general? I haven't seen anything about offerings on your blog, so my apologies if you answered this already! Thank you so much!

What You Can Offer the Old Gods

They do not live on mortal land. We kindly summon them to us. So before every offering, ask, “Will this be worth their journey or not?”

FOOD THAT SATISFIES

During a ritual or ceremony, offer them a full course meal, complete with fruit, meat, bread and wine. Something abundant, fragrant and befitting a god.

FOOD THAT IMPRESSES

When you come across unique food, give them some. Luxurious chocolates… a specialty from a city you visited… Anything worthy of their interest.

FOOD THAT TOUCHES

Each time you bake, give the first batch to the gods. Even if your sweets are nothing too remarkable or elegant, it is your effort that you offer.

OBJECTS THAT HONOR

A silver arrow for Diana. A porcelain shell for Venus. A music box for Apollo. Anything related to the gods’ identity, or whatever reflects their personality.

OBJECTS THAT CONNECT

A tarot deck… a scrying mirror… a rune set… Any conduit for visions or messages. Offer it up to the gods, so that they may speak to you through it.

OBJECTS THAT ENDEAR

A poem for Mercury… your trophy for Mars… your medal for Saturn… Even cheap items, if they mean something to you, will be something to them too.
