Inspiration,
creativity, destiny – for it is she who writes your path in the stars, oracular
vision, divine influence, purification, protection, cosmic power – it is she
who fuels the sun, the stars and lights the moon, the fire of life – without
which nothing might live
It is she who is tasked with ensuring the continuance of the
Universe as we know it, striving always to make the world better – by means of
beauty, creation and inspiration, as such, she is well-suited to art and the
Oracular Spirit, for it is she who imparts vision and allots the drive to make
these visions reality. She is the Cosmic Artist, who – in great strokes –
painted the skies in their varying colors and with the flick of a wrist,
arranged the planets thusly. She might be worked through the sun or the moon,
for which it could be said that she has two aspects (though, in reality, they
are one-in-the-same): the Light-Giver. It is her Solar Aspect that purifies,
grows and fights the darkness, and her Lunar that remains as the last testament
of light in the night sky – the Guide, Queen of the Secret Path – the way to
hope through the darkness.
Offerings, including but not limited to:
Yellow flowers (solar
aspect) – particularly roses, marigolds and tiger lilies, gold, any form of art
in her name, wines (of any kind), precious or semi-precious stones, vibrant
spices (such as turmeric, cayenne, curry, etc.), salt; White flowers (lunar
aspect) – particularly night-blooming, magical ones (like Jimsonweed), silver,
moon-water, aloe vera, salt
Ideal locations for workings:
Open spaces – anywhere
with a great view of the sky, particularly the sun or moon, such as cliffs,
fields, forest clearings, places struck by lightning; she is not as particular
about location, as anywhere the light touches is within her domain. Her Lunar
Aspect is best appealed to on the Full Moon, and avoid the Dark/New Moon.
To Call Her
Gather a collection of offerings, a square of black or
white/yellow cloth (choose depending on aspect) and – with white/yellow paint
– mark her seal (above). Upon this, the offerings will be presented. Go forth
to a place you have chosen for the working. Note, that unlike most of the
others discussed, she can easily be worked with during the day, whereas the
others tend to prefer the hush of night. Arrange your offerings in an artistic
or fun way, she will appreciate the time spent arranging them to be pleasing to
the eye and the creativity involved. When you are aptly prepared, ask her to
come: trust your intuition and delve into recesses of the mind. Present a
desire, ask for her presence and her help. For those with Sight, she might
appear swathed in gold or silver, and possesses an almost electric personality.
Once the connection has been made, you might make a plea to
her. What that will be is entirely dependent on what you need. She is ruled by
the mind, not the heart – do your best to present your case in a clear and
methodical manner. She may challenge you to cut through the emotion and see
with clarity your true desire – which could be a blessing or a curse.
When you are through, leave the offerings for her – you may
wish to take a minute to appreciate the warm light of the sun, or the ghostly
glow of the moon overhead.
It is recommended that upon the completion of your request
that you leave another offering to her as a gift of thanks – a work of art or a
poem/hymn is perfect for her.
All matters of the
Heart – love, longing, heartache; mastery of emotion, weather manipulation,
divination, the sea of memory, taming the balance between heart and mind,
overcoming sadness, grief, connecting with past and future (“time travel”),
beauty, self-love, passive protection, connecting to the Dead
While the Red Queen reigns over passion, the Lady of the
Depths rules what remains – the sweetness, the devotion and the lasting love.
She is the kindly, insightful beauty welcoming you at the gates of her
queendom. She is the storm and the shelter from its own rage, she is the spring
of love that feeds the tributaries of experience that inevitably feed into the
Sea of Death – the place between lives – where she shows the retrospect in the
looking glass.
Offerings, including but not limited to:
Water – of any kind
(though salt or rain is recommended), shells, water-flowers (like the lotus),
but also most flowers of love/devotion/friendship, most herbs ruled by the
element of water or the moon, river rocks or sand, pink/blue ribbon/candles,
fish or shellfish, coins for wishes
Ideal locations for workings:
Offerings are thrown
into or left in/near water – creeks, rivers, lakes, the ocean (even bowls of
water), thusly those places near are suitable for work with her, fountains,
graveyards, a circle of shells or sand, extremely suited to bath rituals of
cleansing or love drawing
To Call Her
Gather a collection of offerings, a square of blue or pink
cloth and – with chalk – mark her seal (above). Upon this, the offerings will
be presented. While the offerings can be suitably left near water, I encourage
you to use bio-friendly materials and, when the evocation is complete, they can
all be thrown collectively into water. There is no hymn to be sung or prayer to
be read – instead, speak from the heart. Ask her to come, trust your intuition
and delve into recesses of the mind. Present a desire, ask for her help, ask
for her presence. For those with Sight, train your eyes on the water – she will
appear on or within its surface, with welcoming arms.
Once the connection has been made, you might make a plea to
her. What that will be is entirely dependent on what you need. If you are going
to completely spill your heart out to any of them, it is this one – she is
completely welcoming toward all displays of emotion and is the perfect counsel
for any problems you may be struggling with.
When you are through, leave the offerings for her – as
previously mentioned, it is encouraged that you either sink them in the water
or float them out on something eco-friendly.
It is recommended that upon the completion of your request
that you leave another offering to her as a gift of thanks – with her, you may
find that placing a hand-written letter of thanks and love to be suitable. She
would surely welcome the kindly gesture.
