BRING MY FAMILY A CONSISTENT FLOW OF MONEY 💚💚

Money bowl I made today for my family. In there lays orange calcite, malachite, 3 Buckeyes, star anise, chamomile, cinnamon, bay leaves, ginger root, alfalfa leaf, white oak bark and flax seed. I also added coins for obvious reasons and glitter for an extra umph.

Find a bowl of your liking. Cleanse with sage or incense or whatever you like best

Place ingredients in bowl. You can do whatever way you see fit. I laid my coins first, then my crystals, Buckeyes and herbs, then sprinkled with glitter.

Write a petition if you see fit. I did and laid it on top in the center. I sealed it with my green candle wax.

Grab a candle if you want. Green, gold or whatever you're drawn to most. Carve sigils or write a petition or other symbols.

Anoint candle with oil of you're choosing. I used my own money oil I made.

SET YOUR INTENTIONS. Be clear as to what you're exactly wanting. For me my intention was for my family to struggle trying to survive paycheck to paycheck. I want a CONSISTENT flow of money flourished to us.

Work with your bowl everyday and add money to it. You can take as you need but be sure to give it small offerings. Keep it for as long as you like, just be sure to interact with it. You have to put your energy into it in order to reep the benefits.

Blessed it be. 💚💚

When you feel you have lost everything, you still have

books

unexpected kindness in strangers

the rest of the world to travel

languages to learn

animals to take care of

volunteer work to do

the power of a good night’s rest

the changing of seasons

infinite things to learn

billions of people to meet and possibly love

billions of people who might love you back

Fundamentals / Numbers / Shapes

I'm awed by your knowledge, dear Diana. You make the most complex things super easy to understand. And I laughed so much when I saw your astrology masterlist because the concepts that are so difficult for me to learn are under a heading called "The Basics" 😁 I felt bad for myself at first till I actually read them and saw that you did make them very simple to utilise. My question is do you have any advise for people who have very good placements and aspects? I'm somehow afraid I'll waste them ❣

Having a Good or Bad Natal Chart

Technically, there are no good or bad placements and aspects, because there are no good or bad planets to be placed and aspected.

The most feared ones, Mars, Pluto and Saturn, actually bestow some of the best gifts. Mars gives confidence, Pluto gives power, and Saturn gives fortitude.

Placements and aspects are better categorized as easy and hard.

Pluto in the First House, for example, is an easy placement. The First House is about valuing yourself, and Pluto is about empowering yourself. There is no clash. It creates people with great self-esteem.

While Neptune in Libra in the Seventh House is a hard placement. Because Neptune is kind, Libra likes harmony, and the Seventh House is all about other people. It creates individuals who are pushovers.

As for aspects, trines and sextiles are easy; squares and oppositions are hard; and conjunctions can be either, depending on the planets involved.

It is people who have hard placements and aspects that need to scrutinize those facets to make sure they rise above them.

Mars in Libra, for example, has a reputation for being a cheater. And whether your faith calls it karma, revenge, or the natural order of things, people who cheat eventually get punished. So those who have this placement should closely watch their actions, to avoid divine retribution.

And Jupiter square Saturn tends to have their luck cut short in just about any situation. So those who have this aspect should always devise a Plan B, C and D, to ensure that things still work out for them in the end.

But for people who have easy placements and aspects, you do not have to do anything. Except follow your heart, as cheesy as that sounds.

Because the benefits of your easy placements have been installed inside of you. Like a GPS that is always pointing you to the right direction.

The only thing I can advise is regular meditation. It is you yourself who can take you to your intended destination.

A Crash Course on Channeling

What is Channeling?

Channeling is allowing a nonphysical entity to use your physical body, in order to accomplish something. If that sounds, vague, it’s because it is. Channeling takes many different forms and intensity levels! Depending on how it’s done, it can be a medium-difficulty task or one of the most advanced things a spirit worker can do. 

Types of Channeling

I once heard channeling described as a car ride, and in my experience that’s very accurate. The car is your body, and you’re in it with an entity. Sometimes you’re in the driver’s seat, and the entity is in the back seat giving directions. Sometimes you or the entity is in the passenger’s seat: not calling most of the shots, but able to reach over and grab the wheel if needed. Sometimes you’re in the backseat watching the entity drive, and sometimes you’re in the trunk. In practice, this can take a number of forms.

Speaking on Behalf. This is the kind of channeling people do most often. The entity isn’t controlling you, just feeding you lines which you can then relay to a third party. You’re translating their messages to something other people can comprehend. If you’ve ever answered a question for a spirit in their words, you’ve done this. 

Isolated Channeling. The entity takes control of just a part of the body, usually the hands or fingers. This is mostly used for things like automatic writing.

Assuming Form. Also known as consensual possession. The entity is in the driver’s seat, speaking and acting for themselves without your help. Some people will call this “horsing.”

Possession. While the word “possession” could technically cover all of this, within the spirit work community it’s usually reserved for channeling where the human did not consent beforehand. This doesn’t necessarily mean in a violating way- I once had a friend who got possessed just long enough for an entity to yank them out of danger; once I was taken for just a moment to convey a quick (but very direct) message to a devotee, and snapped out of it right after. 

Reasons to Channel

Everyone will have a different reason to channel but most of them fall under a few categories:

Helping Someone Else. You’re channeling on behalf of someone who can’t [easily] reach the entity themselves, in order to ease communication between the two parties. This is often seen with mediums contacting spirit guides and Ancestors.

Aid in Other Works. The entity is better suited to accomplish a certain task than you, so you let them take the lead. This is often seen with a familiar or spirit companion, someone the practitioner works with closely enough to know their strengths and trust them. 

Easier Communication Overall. Channeling is a way to get really familiar with an entity’s energy. Again, we often see this with spirit companions and is more to bond than to achieve another goal.  This would include automatic writing or letting a spirit experience things “through” you. 

Ritual Invitation. In some traditions, it’s common to invite deities to ritual events. Often, some type of channeling/possession is expected and is usually reached through ecstatic experiences. It’s taken as a sign the deity has arrived at the party, either a sign the offerings have been received or a time for the deity to convey important messages. 

Before-You-Begin Essentials

Know How To Protect Yourself. This is non-negotiable. Is your discernment tuned enough to spot an impostor or malevolent entity? Do you know how to end a session early? Do you know how to banish a spirit in an emergency? If the answer is no, then study up and return to channeling when you’re ready. 

Know Your Entity. Channeling, by nature, puts the practitioner in an intimate and vulnerable place, so you don’t want to give that access to an entity who may misuse it. If it’s your first time channeling, make sure you trust this entity with your life. 

Don’t Channel Alone. When you channel, you’re in an altered state of consciousness. Having someone grounded near you helps keep the session on track and keep you out of trouble should you need it. (Either by forcing an entity out if needed or just keeping you from climbing that tree.) 

Other Notes

It’ll Probably Take a Lot Out of You. Have something ready to ground and rehydrate yourself after a session, and make sure you don’t have anything high-demand planned after. 

Start Small. No need to jump head-first into the most advancecd and high-intensity types of channeling! Start with automatic writing or painting and get used to the feeling and work your way up.

Don’t Make It Weird. Basic etiquette still matters. Channeling is not a pass to give unsolicited messages to other practitioners, speak on behalf of their deities to them (unless they’ve specifically asked), or say hurtful things cushioned by: “What? It wasn’t me who said it.”

Messages Are Rarely “Pure.” This means everything is still filtered through you, the practitioner. Your values, morals, biases, and beliefs can inform what messages get through and how they are conveyed. Nobody wants to send out a message they disagree with, after all. This becomes less of an influencing factor with experience as one learns to hone their skill and let go more, but it’s important to always keep in mind. (If a channeling friend says a deity doesn’t accept your gender identity or something, that’s a good sign that really your “friend” doesn’t accept it.) 

Artsy Witch Ideas/Tips

For all of my witches out there that are artists or just love art of any kind, here are some things to consider adding to your craft.

Use vine or compressed charcoal dust to make black salt

Use sketchbooks as unique grimoires, book of shadows, book of cosmos, dream journals, etc that allow you to use markers, paints, etc to your heart’s desire

Red liquid ink can substitute for blood

Black liquid ink is good for curses especially for blinding, confusion and chaos

Blue liquid ink can represent water or the ocean 

Yellow liquid ink for divination

Green liquid ink for protection and healing spells

Enchant your calligraphy pens for sigil work to strengthen the sigils you make or spells you write with them

Use doodles of people or how you see a person for taglocks in curses and bindings

Melt crayons for wax seals on jars or other spells by placing them in intense sun or heating them in a wax melter (use caution that you don’t heat them too high)

Melt crayons and mix with coconut oil and olive oil for anointing oil corresponding with the colors you use (also can be used as lipstick if desired)*

Use scrapbooking paper in your grimoire to give it unique and artsy pages

Use your paints to make painted spells. Make a sigil and paint it onto your page or canvas, and based on the sigil’s intent once dried paint over it an image that corresponds with that intent to activate. Hang up in your room or home. Cleanse and charge regularly

Glitter my witches, great for color magic and jar spells (note glitter is not good to be tossed into the environment so please don’t)

Write down a person or ‘force’ in your life you wish to remove and use erasers to erase it away as a simple severing spell

Use your dirty paint water for curses or inspiration spells

Use stickers to seal spell jars 

Unable to burn something in your apartment? Drench it in black ink or paint instead

Use mechanical pencil lead in curses by break it up. very effective for writer’s block and creativity block curses

Bead enthusiasts or jewelry makers, use your beads to make spell/enchanted jewelry based on colors, shapes, and letters used in it for correspondences

Make your own ouija boards, crystal grids, pendulum charts, etc on some matte board or foam board using paints to make unique affordable tools

Use chalk dust for warding and protection spells

Buy chalkboard paint to turn a wall or other object into a chalkboard for sigil use, spell writing, organization, etc

Use those plastic reusable paint containers for small portable spell jars

Sharpies and black markers are good for curses in general

Use your color wheels for divination via colormancy

Use modeling clay or pottery clay to make your own offering bowls, statuettes and poppets for a variety of uses

For a quick and easy black mirror simply paint the back glass of a picture frame with black acrylic paint. It may take several layers

Reuse bottles and cans by painting them up to make them witchy containers for your tools, art supplies and other storage purposes

Make drawings, write poetry, write stories, make pottery, make a painting, etc to make as offerings to deities, fae, spirits, etc. Just be sure not to sign it if it is for fae (your name can give them power of you)

Use glue or tape to seal spells, for binding and for strengthening spells

Use whiteout for banishing and invisibility spells

Use henna, temporary tats or body safe paint for fun body sigils

Save pencil shavings for inspiration and creativity spells

Enchant your art supplies to bring you creativity, focus, motivation and inspiration when you use them

Use your paints to paint rocks colors for easy color magic

Turn your name into a sigil to sign your artwork so people will recognize it as yours (or other such desires)

Use used paint sponges to absorb negativity before throwing away

Mix paint or ink with water to make color potions or spell jars

Collect markers, crayons, colored pencils, pens, highlighters, etc to use for colorful written spells, amplify sigils, and to strengthen spells

Illustrate your grimoire, book of shadows, dream journal, etc with images that you feel are important or doodles to add your own extra touch to the spells and information inside. Make it your own

Paint, draw, or design your desires or wishes and charge the art in the moonlight to help welcome those things into your life. Keep the piece of art in your room or home

Use lines from your written poetry, stories, lyrics, etc as spell incantations or lines when writing spells to make them more personal

Use old sketchbooks, idea notebooks, free write journals, etc for bibliomancy 

Try/Practice automatic writing or drawing for divination and spirit communication

Make collages out of posters, drawings, photos, writings, poems, etc on your wall to act as a low key altar
