Divine Message by Dia Marië

16/08/2026

Lunar Aspects (Moon in Libra) – We’re between eclipses, travelling in liminal space. The nodes are on urgent degrees which feels like karmic overload and intense sacred lessons. And so, the Moon reminds us to lean into our favourite connections, to seek out warm words of encouragement, to share favourite books and quotes and joys and stories. Shared tiny moments in our day let us know we’re not alone - a little smile, a wink from across the room, a message to say, ‘I’m thinking of you.’ Tiny threads of connection wending their way through life’s clattering, a soft spot to fall, a feather-light kiss on the brow.

But sometimes, the reply doesn’t come, others are busy, preoccupied or emotionally unavailable for other reasons. And in those times, it’s important to know how to keep our equilibrium, hold fast to our centre, gift ourselves support from the inside out. Tap into the endless love that lives in your heart. Be your own best friend.

August 13 is the traditional first day of Nemoralia, a three day Greco-Roman festival in mid-August honoring Goddess Diana. This festival is also known as the Hekatean Ides and the Festival of Torches. It is a celebration of Women's freedom, the legend of Hippolytus, and a time of equality among all.

Titaness Hekate is honored as the Crone counterpart of Diana during this festival, although historically three-faced Hekate appears as the predecessor to all of Diana’s archetypes. Hekate, as the Lady of Storms, may also have been invoked to protect the harvests from bad weather. The two Goddesses have much in common, including shared imagery, epithets, and correspondences.

There is a lunar Void of Course tonight that starts at 3:23 pm ET and ends Saturday morning (!!) at 10:19 am ET, so I'll make my first-day offerings this morning.

Hail Diana, Patroness of the Hunt, Lady of the Moon, Heavenly Guardian of the Crossroads, the Lightbearer! Hail, Hekate, Queen of the Night, Storm Bringer, Keybearer, Protectress of Witches, Goddess of the Crossroads! 🦌🏹🖤🕯️🗝️

Beautiful Soul,

We have arrived at the New Moon in Leo, accompanied by a Solar Eclipse, a threshold moment inviting us to become still, listen deeply and return to what is true.

What if the heart became our compass?

Leo speaks to the heart, courage, creativity, leadership and authentic self-expression.

Perhaps the deepest courage of the heart is not found in being louder or trying to impress, but in living with greater truth and integrity. This New Moon is an invitation to remember your own inner authority, to use discernment, trust yourself and become the leader of your own life.

We can be inspired by the wisdom of others without giving away our own.

And sometimes the clearest guidance comes not through doing more, but through becoming still.

Stillness can be a form of spiritual action.

Tonight, perhaps light a candle, place a hand upon your heart and simply listen.

What feels deeply true for you now?

What are you ready to leave behind?

What is quietly asking to be born through you as you allow your heart to lead?

May this New Moon gently remind you to trust the wisdom of your own heart and give you courage to follow the path that feels true for you...✨💖✨

Mercury In Leo from Aug 9 to 25 ♌ Transit Mercury in Leo Themes
🎭 The Regal Voice ~ Mercury here speaks to be remembered. Expect declarations, performances, and a need to leave a mental legacy that echoes beyond the room.
🪽Channelled Intelligence ~ Thoughts and ideas may arrive out of the blue, as if whispered by spirit guides or plucked from the astral realms. This is a time of inspired oration and artistic downloads.
🏛️ Legacy of Thought ~ Mercury in Leo draws from its heritage—philosophical, cultural, or spiritual—to craft a worldview that feels timeless and rooted in meaning.

Goddess Parvati
Parvati, the Hindu goddess of devotion, wisdom, strength, and divine sovereignty, resonates with the archetype of Mercury in Leo through her confident, heartfelt expression and her ability to communicate with both warmth and authority. Mercury in Leo speaks from the heart, inspiring others through creativity, authenticity, and a strong sense of purpose—qualities reflected in Parvati’s unwavering devotion and her role as a teacher of spiritual truth. Her stories emphasize that true wisdom is expressed with courage, generosity, and dignity, encouraging others to recognize their own inner light. Like Mercury in Leo, Parvati reminds us that our words carry the greatest power when they are rooted in love, integrity, and the confidence to express our authentic selves.

Today’s card is The Empress.
On this sacred day of Lammas, the Earth Mother opens her hands and invites us to witness the beauty of the harvest. Every act of kindness, every lesson learned, every dream nurtured in the darkness has become part of the abundance before you. Take time today to honor not only what you have gathered, but also the strength and wisdom that helped you grow it. Give thanks for the blessings already in your hands, and trust that the next season is already quietly taking root.

Today’s affirmation:

“I receive the blessings of my harvest with gratitude, and I nurture the seeds of tomorrow with love and intention.”

The Empress pairs especially well with Lammas because she represents the fertile Earth at the height of her abundance a reminder that every harvest is both an ending and a new beginning. 🌾🌻

For many witches, making moon water is a sacred ritual.

A jar of water is placed beneath the night sky, charged with intention and infused with the energy of the lunar phase.

It may later be used in spellwork, ritual baths, cleansing, protection, manifestation, altar work or devotional practice.

Moon water has become deeply woven into modern witchcraft, yet there is no single rulebook for how it must be created.

Every witch, tradition and spiritual path may work with it differently.

Some leave their water beneath the Full Moon.

Others place it on a windowsill or altar.

Some use spring water, rainwater or ordinary tap water.

Some add herbs, flowers or crystals, while others allow the water and the Moon to remain the entire ritual.

None of these methods is automatically more magical than another.

The power of moon water comes from the connection between the practitioner, the water, the lunar phase and the intention placed within it.

Water has long been connected with cleansing, healing, intuition, transformation and the unseen world.

The Moon has always guided cycles, tides, seasons, ritual timing and spiritual reflection.

When these two forces are brought together, moon water becomes a vessel for lunar energy and personal intention.

The Full Moon is often used for power, illumination, confidence, gratitude, completion and release.

The Waxing Moon may be used for growth, attraction and momentum.

The Waning Moon may support cleansing, banishing and letting go.

The New Moon may be used for beginnings, hidden potential and planting new intentions.

These meanings may vary between practitioners, and that is part of the beauty of the practice.

Moon water does not need to be touched by a visible beam of moonlight to work.

Clouds, glass or an indoor windowsill do not remove the Moon’s presence.

The ritual begins the moment you consciously place the water beneath the lunar sky and give it purpose.

To make moon water, fill a clean jar with water and cover it securely.

Hold the jar between your hands and speak your intention into it.

You may say:

“By the light and power of the Moon,
I charge this water with protection, clarity and strength.
May it carry the energy I call into it,
and may it serve only my highest intention.”

Place the jar beneath the Moon, then bring it inside when the ritual feels complete.

Label it with the date, lunar phase and purpose.

Moon water can be used to anoint candles, cleanse ritual tools, wash doorways, strengthen spell jars, add to spiritual baths, refresh an altar or water suitable plants.

Safe practice is also part of sacred practice.

Keep outdoor water covered, avoid drinking water that may have become contaminated and never place unknown crystals directly into water intended for consumption.

Some crystals can dissolve, become damaged or release unsafe substances.

Placing crystals around the outside of a sealed jar is a beautiful and safer alternative.

There is no single correct way to make moon water.

Your practice may be simple or elaborate.

It may be passed between generations, learned through community or created through your own relationship with the Moon.

The magic does not come from following another witch’s exact instructions.

It comes from the intention, reverence and energy you pour into the ritual.

Moon water is not just water left beneath the night sky. It is water that has been witnessed, blessed and given purpose beneath the Moon.

“Once we start to work with Feminine power we begin to see that it is not our minds that are in control of this power — it ebbs and flows with the movements of the planets, the procession of the seasons, the moons and tides, our own internal cycles of menstruality, anniversaries, the events around us.

All these and more impact our experience and expressions of power. We learn to become aware of these various patterns and their impact on us and work more consciously with rather than against or in spite of them. We learn that they are all part of the same process. We open towards the energy, rather than shut down to it. We learn to trust the flow.”

I walk as a seeker who listens inward, guided by the elder voice of my soul.

I have learned that the deepest wisdom does not live in distant places but in the quiet inner territories I enter through shamanic journeying to work with my helping spirits and my own soul. When I turn toward that unseen world, I find guidance that is intimate, steady, and unmistakably true. This is the elder within me, and its presence shapes every step of my path.

🍃Shamanic Journey Invitation:
What does the voice of your inner elder sound like when you meet it in the unseen world? This journey invites you to step beyond thought and into direct relationship with the guiding presence that already walks with you.

Text on Image: “I have always been a seeker, but the longer I walk this path, the more I realize the real journey bends inward into the unseen worlds. I no longer chase wisdom in distant external places or borrowed teachings; I listen for the quiet, unmistakable guidance rising from my helping spirits and my own soul. This inner elder walks with me, steady and clear, and its guidance never falters.”
