For this Spellwork Sunday, we want to focus on rituals involving Diana’s huntress aspect. It is very important to note that the various lunar cycles play a critical role in working with Diana, thus understanding the phases of the moon and how they play with Diana can greatly alter the outcome of any ritual, spell and overall connection. Diana was not just a lunar goddess, but was worshiped as the moon itself! When we talk about honoring or invoking the hunter aspect of Diana, we can use this trait when trying to aim at a target in our lives and strike it with accuracy, i.e. a new job, prospective lover, personal goal, etc. Below are some ritual suggestions you might find useful when working with this deity:
Time / Planetary Hours:
This spell is best suited for the period of waxing to full moon to invoke her skills of the hunt.
Create the intention of what you are wanting to manifest, under the waxing cycle.
Write on a piece of cloth your intentions and address it to Diana, asking for her assistance in your mission.
Idols of her sacred animals (bears, deer, dogs, bats)

Simple Steps and Procedures:
Light white candles for & sing for her! Diana loves a good song! It can be an invocation of hers or you can create your own!
Tie the letter you wrote for Diana on a tree in a forest. If you don’t have access to a forest, trees outside your home, or in a park are perfectly suitable.
Be sure, to give her plenty thanks to show your appreciation and leave her fresh offerings throughout this cycle and spell.
You can reference our Goddess Of the Month blog to obtain more info, and ideas on how to help personalize your ritual to pertain to your specific connection with this deity. Most importantly, have fun with it! Whomever you are working with will most certainly appreciate your own flair!
Enjoy and many blessings!

As winter envelops us in its quiet, reflective embrace, two profound symbols emerge in the cultural and cosmic landscape: the astrological sign of Capricorn and the winter solstice. Each holds unique archetypes and lessons, yet they intertwine beautifully to offer guidance and inspiration for navigating the darker, colder months of the year. By exploring their historical, astronomical, and astrological significance—as well as cultural practices worldwide—we can find meaningful ways to enrich our wintertime experience.
As August and the beginning to the end of summer unfolds, the interplay between astrological happenings and ancient traditions creates a powerful tapestry of influence on our lives. This month, we witness the convergence of Mercury retrograde, Leo season, and the Euro pagan holiday Lammas, each carrying its own set of energies and implications that can influence, help, and hinder us.
Happy Full Moon in Capricorn! 🌝♑️It’s a special one as it is our second full moon in Capricorn in a row! So I did a quick tarot pull asking thee questions. In the earthen spirit of Capricorn of course I got pentacles, clarity, and straightforwardness with this reading lol. Took me less than 5 minutes to understand. Read for for the spread!
