Hi lady diana! My cousins and me (hereditary witches w/o living elders) sent you several asks over the past weeks and i know now why you didn't answered. :( I read from your post that anons on tumbler need to be answered publicly but our questions were maybe too small (didn't warrant a whole post probably). Sorry to be so pushy but somethings gnawing on me! :( I have 4 tarot decks. Straight out of the box the cards were arranged differently! Please lady diana whats the right arangement of cards?
12 Witchcraft Questions I Previously Skipped
1) Different tarot deck publishers arrange the cards differently. What’s their right order?
Major Arcana – 0 to 21. Followed by Wands, Cups, Swords and Pentacles – Ace to 10, Page to King.
Because Major trumps Minor. And 0 is the start of The Fool’s journey.
As for the Minor, the order mirrors the evolution of our emotions. Impulses are Wands – our reactions. Processed impulses are Cups – our feelings. Internalized impulses are Swords – our thoughts. Stabilized impulses are Pentacles – our foundations.
2) You said individual reversed cards are not necessarily a bad thing. But what if all cards are reversed in a spread?
When all the cards are upside down, it means something is wrong.
Your question could be a leading one or based on a false assumption, such as, “Will our relationship last?” when the two of you are not even official.
Or perhaps you have asked the same question over and over again, and your deck is refusing to be made a fool of.
3) You have a lot of decks! How many does a beginner like me need?
Considering how long I have been reading the cards, 57 is actually a very small number. Others have been reading for just a few months and they have over a hundred because they go on sprees. Mine were collected over the years.
A beginner only needs one tarot deck. Once you know how to read, acquire a couple more, for longevity, versatility and excitement. If you read with other cartomancy systems, the same applies. Just one to three decks. Anything beyond that is an indulgence.
4) Why am I attracted (romantically and platonically) to people of the same Sun or Rising sign as me?
Because you are a wonderful person. That is, you are a mature manifestation of your Zodiac sign. And so are the people you are attracted to.
The reverse is also true. If you find yourself hating people of the same Sun or Rising as you, it means you – or perhaps they – are base manifestations of these signs.
Although, to be mature does not mean you have to adore these people. You could be wary of them while still recognizing their worth.
5) What signs are similar to each other?
Aries and Scorpio. Both are intense and share a traditional ruler.
Virgo and Capricorn. Both are Earth signs and pay attention to details.
Libra and Pisces. Both tend to go with the flow. Relatively easygoing.
Gemini and Sagittarius. Both are sociable, friendly and fun-seeking.
Taurus and Leo. Both are Fixed signs and love the good things in life.
Cancer and Aquarius. Both care deeply, but for different things and in different ways.
6) I’m overwhelmed by how many systems there are. My Western chart describes me and my life perfectly. Do I need to learn the others?
Subscribing to astrology is like purchasing a vacuum cleaner.
The salesman cons you into buying a special nozzle for dog hair and another for a sheepskin rug. Then your friends show you their own vacuum cleaners, and you feel sad that yours is not the latest or the most expensive.
But what is a vacuum cleaner for? Cleaning. If yours is not broken, do not fix it.
Same with astrology. It is a map of your destiny. If your chart describes you and your life perfectly, then it is doing its job. No need for extra accessories and meaningless upgrades.
7) Is it okay if I substitute honey with table sugar in spells?
No. Honey is natural, while table sugar has been refined, making it somehow artificial.
Honey is used for protection and desire spells, while sugar is used for glamour and manipulation spells.
If you use them interchangeably, benefic spells could turn malicious, and malicious spells would have no power.
8) How do I know if the guy I met while astral traveling is really my soulmate or just someone random?
If you have to ask, then he is not.
Your soulmate is your other half. Someone you know from your past lives. Meeting him in another realm where your subconscious is awakened is like looking at your own handwriting or gazing at the mirror. It is unmistakable.
The fact that you are unsure in the first place means it was not him at all.
9) If I’m not officially a witch, will the spells you shared with us work for me?
What is an official witch? Merely calling yourself a witch, dressing in black or collecting crystals does not make you one.
A witch is someone who was either born to a witching family or someone who was born with magic. Or both.
But hereditary witches do not always know about their lineage, if it was broken some generations ago. As for natural-born witches, they go through a spiritual awakening, which perhaps has not yet started for you.
So the only way to know for sure is to perform the spell. If it works, then you have it in you. If it does not, then you do not.
10) Do the old gods prefer material or sentimental offerings?
It depends on your intention.
If you wrote an old god a poem simply because you refuse to spend money on offerings, then he is likely to reject it.
But if you gave him a rose that you grew yourself and means more to you than an expensive bouquet, then he might love it.
11) Is Venus superficial? She only granted my prayer once when I approached her in my bridesmaid dress and I was wearing makeup and my hair was done.
If you are going to a business meeting, the other party expects you to look professional.
If you are going to church, the other parishioners expect you to look decent.
And if you are going to approach the Goddess of Beauty, she expects you to look your best.
There is nothing superficial about respect. It is a matter of basic decency and common sense.
12) Me and my sister are both Scorpio dominants. How come I’ve been practicing longer, but she’s already seen Pluto and I haven’t?
Unlike the new gods, the old ones have favorites. That is not some great secret. Even in mythology, there are those they favor more than others.
Perhaps your sister is more Scorpionic than you in the way she thinks and behaves. The old gods are delighted when their mortal children embrace their nature.
Or it could be your offerings. Pluto is Lord of the Death. I hope you are not giving him anything fluffy like stuffed toys and candies.
I cannot possibly fully know a god’s mind. But I do know that for Pluto to reveal himself to your sister, she is doing something right. So ask her.
