Hey frankie! Im actually an italian folk practitioner as well and am slowly moving into ancestor veneration and my family traditions. Could you possibly make a video on your Italian folk practice and the differences in traditions throughout italy in magic?
I discovered Diana when looking through deities one day-I’m a baby witch, just starting my craft. I was instantly drawn to her as I read more about her and I wanted to connect with her. Fast forward a couple days and I was driving home from my mothers house-she lives in northern Florida and I HAD to stop by the national forest-Everything in my body was telling me to-and as soon as I pulled in and parked, deer were everywhere. I understand that one of Diana’s animals was a stag or deer. Now every time I’m visiting my mom I go to that forest to be close with nature and be at peace with Diana watching over me.
So, I'm one of the naughty witches that hasn't done a lot of deity study, but this was so validating for my very brief experience with Diana in the fact that I personally felt like she was separate from Artemis. I don't have a good way to describe it all, but she just felt very different when I worked with her briefly. To hear the history portion of this is awesome. Love it!
I feel so similarly about Minerva! She has soooo many aspects. Lots of people think she’s a copy/paste of Athena, and while she does share many of her myths, she’s also heavily associated with the Celtic Sulis, and was worshipped widely as Menvra by the Etruscan people before Rome. I see her as almost a coagulation of a bunch of “minor” deities plus Athena and a bit of Hestia. I’m still learning about her though so if anyone has any resources feel free to let me know. I always love a little bit of extra information lol
I'm watching this while hand-shredding a ridiculous amount of pecorino romano and parmesan. It's a wonderful day to be an Italian-American witch, I guess lol
As an very devout Celtic pagan (Arwan's Oathsworn) whom also venerates my multiracial ancestors(African-Swedish American.), I find your channel is a very good outlet for me to not stay within my own little box and to remember that religion is so vast and incredibly diverse, to put things into perspective is to allow for all knowledge to be sacred. Thank you for your continued content and may your own ancestors be with you in 2022. -Black Ovate.
Wow! There’s so much to learn about Diana and I can see I’m going to need to watch this video at least once more! Thanks, Frankie, for sharing your opinions and experience with Diana… much appreciated, especially since I’ve been drawn to her for a while!
Hey, Frankie! I’m starting to investigate Diana and would love/appreciate hearing about a few resources where I can learn more. I’ve watched this video four times! so I can learn as much as I can from you. Thanks for this video, as usual I love your videos!
As someone who also works with Diana thank you for sharing your knowledge please do a book about her because we need a place where all her information is xx
I am getting back into Wicca after discovering it 4 years ago. I want to work with a horned god that represents my paternal family and a triple goddess that represents my maternal family. My dad’s family is German and Irish so I decided to go with Cernunnos, my mom’s family is extremely Italian so after some research I decided Diana. I feel Diana’s presence pretty strongly at night time, however I don’t usually feel Cernunnos but recently I’ve started to feel him more Edit: when I feel Diana’s presence I get the feeling that she’s rubbing my back and when I feel Cernunnos’ presence I get a warm feeling in my chest
this series is great :) i would love if you did a video on lucifer, because i find it hard to find information on him online that not, yknow, s*tanism lol... and when i do see videos about working with him as a deity its just "yep, you should work with him he's great!" so it would be really helpful to have more content about him :)
Hekate is my matron goddess, and I can totally see why the Romans conflated her with an aspect of Dianna. Trivia is a shared epithet with Hekate. But interestingly the conflation with Hekate and Artemis just doesn't fit intuitively. Suggesting for me, at least, they are separate energies. Such a great video tho, thanks for this Frankie.
Have an awesome New Year 2022, Miss! I first started being drawn to Hekate as a liminal Goddess. Then, slowly along the way, she showed me a different path with the Roman Goddess Diana Lucifera. Thus my own revelation into my True Self. I hope you find what you seek! Blessed Be.
I have huge respect for Artemis and Diana as Goddesses and their overall impact on how we view goddesses rather it be religio romana / Italian or even Hellenic with Artemis. Thank you for making this video on your opinions, views of Diana in your own personal practice and your overall experiences on how Diana has impacted your life as a whole. And 100% would love more videos on your experiences and more on Italian folk practices
I love how I was just researching Diana and you posted this! I feel Diana may be hanging around me lately, as I’ve seen a lot of animals late,y associated with her, but what’s weird is they were all dęad. Have you noticed this as a sign? I love your videos and loved seeing how you’ve grown over the past years!
i had a neighbor a few years ago who had a cat named stink, it would get out and shed be yelling "stink!" outside looking for him, i gave her a frog ring i found on the ground, the legs wiggled
Can we get a video on your learning and working with Luciferus? It really fascinates me, and I want to know your perspective on this topic we hear so little about.
This video has popped up for me today and I'm so glad! I filmed a video that will be lit tomorrow exactly on working with a Roman Pantheon deity (Vesta) rather than the Hellenic more popular counterpart so this was really serendipitous! I had no idea that the Nymph Egeria could be associated with Diana! I have recently learned that The spring Egeria in Rome was very important for the vestal virgins as well so I can see where everything connects. A dear friend of mine from south Italy himself mentioned how Diana was basically THE goddes when it came to any form of witchcraft in Italy so makes sense that she also becomes the main if not the only goddess an Italian folk practitioner ends up working with. Thank you so so much for sharing this! Hellenism always takes priority in neo pagan circles so I'm so grateful to hear of someone else work with the Roman / Italian heritage!
Can you do a video on working with Mother Mary and maybe a video on how to use the rosary as a witch? I have a rosary from when I was a christian and I recieved protection from Mother Mary yesterday ❤
this is giving me the same vibes as when I was researching after years of trying to figure out which deity I was communicating with throughout my discovering witchcraft, only to finally find last month that it was Hulda. so many deities are almost completely erased by history unless you look through a TON of stuff about how/why folk tales have been collected and how they connect to political/theological history in the world. I would have never learned her name if it wasn't for having 2 and a half windows worth of wikipedia tabs on my laptop rn.
I definitely see that connection to Mary, now that you mention it! Diana was the deity that called me to witchcraft and I will be forever grateful to her for it
Hello Frankie! I absolutely adore your content. You helped me in my practice in so many ways. I have grown as a witch since I started learning from you. I would absolutely love some Diana resources! I have been having trouble finding anything on my own. Thank you again so much. You're awesome!
I'm so glad you made this video! It's funny how I look back on so many things and realize Diana has always been there, but I didn't see it. When I was reading the "daughters of the moon" fiction series as a teenager. Then in the coven I learned in and got my HPS in considered Diana to be the name of "The Goddess," (the female aspect of source/creator/god). And after all this time all I'm drawn to is moon goddesses, dogs, deer, and forests. I feel silly for not seeing it before. I don't "work" with Diana, but I do honor her as my patroness. It just felt right, you know?
This is very interesting. I also consider Artemis and Diana very different. Artemis has been always been with me, even before I realized it. There are definitely things that go unnoticed by us until we have that moment of recognition.
i also view mother mary as being two sides of the same coin of a goddess. In Malta when we were under the phoenicians the maltese and the phoenicians worshipped the Goddess Astarte as a goddess of fertility of the land, the sea and of people and a protector of sea Workers. When we got chrisitianised Mother Mary took on the aspects of fertility while her mother St Anne took on the aspects of protector of Sea Workers so in my Ancestral Work working with Mother Mary and Lady Astarte they have similiar roles in cultural context {Although Astarte isn t ethnically a Maltese Goddess she still appears in folk culture and customs}
Just a thought, wilderness goddesses/gods seem much more likely to retain a certain ‘local flavor’ that a celestial deity might not, considering the wilds between Italy and Greece are different, but the sky above them is largely the same. In my mind, while Diana and Artemis are linked to all wilds in a sense, they are specifically representative of the Italic and Grecian wilds respectively.
I looked up 'diana roman goddess' because i feel like she's been reaching out to me, and your video is the first one that popped up. I think that's pretty cool lol
I think it's so funny that you find Diana to be very, erm, "possessive" as a Goddess lmao, I have the same experience 😆 She's like "Hey, I've got it all covered! Why would you WANT to work with another diety?" 🤣♥️ She does concede to work with Kali, Shakti and Hecate, but just as guides not patrons 😅
Would you consider doing a video on skeleton keys? I recently got the animal totem tarot and I love it! I found a skeleton key recently after having dreams for years about it after my move.it comes from my childhood home. :)
Hiya Frankie! I was wondering if you could elaborate more on ancestor work and whether they have to be biological/if not/ how to find ancestors to work with? This video was absolutely amazing and I really hope I can connect with a deity some day.
Hello! I’m a new-ish Pagan who is a former Catholic (Irish American). How does Catholicism, really Catholic folk magic, fit in with your UPG? I’m looking into it as well as ancestor veneration and I’m needing a guide for this syncretic theological point of view. Thanks so much!
Honestly, there are Irish Pagans who incorporate Catholic traditions all the time because it's so ingrained that it is considered normal. Check out channels from Pagans in Ireland. It might help clarify things.
Hey Frankie, I know this is a bit of An odd request but can you give me some suggestions on how to be a bruja, I am a eclectic Mexican practitioner and I wanna connect with my roots sort of…… anyway if you could help with that it would be AMAZING I love your content on Tik tok and yt btw
I’ve read “American Brujería” because I also wanted to learn about Mexican Folk Magic, it’s a good starting book; it definitely doesn’t cover a large range of topics but it presents plenty of introductory ideas
Hey Frankie 😊 would you be able to point me in the direction of some Italian folk practitioners/resources/books? I really struggle with finding reputable material and I’d love the help!! Thank you 🙏🏼 Bandessa ☺️
Good morning Frankie, What’s crazy is that my name is Diana & here I come across your page i don’t know how that had happened, but that is crazy & I am in shock. Maybe Bc I am going through seeking my passion, purpose, what job i was created to do on earth, just trying to find myself. I’m tired of switching jobs & switching school majors. Every job I land make me unhappy, sad, depressed, anxious, frustrated, quit, give up, tired & getting old fir this at the age of 50 & I still don’t know what I want to do. Questions, 1.)Can you please help me with an advice or any suggestions? 2.)Should i focus & get to know Diana the goddess hunter & see what she can do for me? I hope to hear from you. Thank you! Diana
Hey Frankie, I learned that all female goddesses were canonized by the Catholic Church and basically turned into St.Mary. What do you think about that?
what’s the epithet at 11:33 ? i’ve understood triformis, trivia, egeria but i can’t understand the one after. As a follower of Diana i’m always looking for to expanding my knowledge on her, so thanks to anyone who can help
FULLY MIS SPELLED IT! It's Dea Cornisca / Deva Cornisca. An archaic Latin name for Diana that was used for a specific cult. Upon further research it may have been a place of worship for Juno as well, which makes sense considering they've been syncretized/conflated before. Info: culto della dea cornisca - Romano Imperowww.romanoimpero.com › 2019/09 › dea-cornisca
Hi Frankie, idk but I've asked my guides how are you doing lately and I heard u were busy working with Diana then now I saw this ... Idk can u confirm this one? (not watched the vid yet while typing these lol 😅)
She came to me when my boyfriend and I were having issues and I had called on Freya actually as I was falling asleep saying please give me a sign because I had been waking up with grid patterns of lupine flowers and then that night I woke up and turned my side and there was a Doberman staring at me and when I blinked the Doberman was gone and there was a lady staring at me at the end of the bed around the corner and she turned around and had flowing brownish black hair and I had talked to a friend about it and she was like that was definitely not Freya it might’ve been lady Diana because I also was calling on Apollo I do see them as two different people lady Diana and Artemis and just recently I actually got my DNA test results back and I knew I was Italian but I also just found out recently I am Greek so that makes sense why Apollo is also calling out to me and working with me. Never thought about St. Mary with Diana though!
Hey just wondering how many pets do you have and how do you make them get along? Because as much as I want a cat, I have a rabbit and I don't want Lord Alfred Rupert Green III to get hurt in any way 0.0
The argument for saying Diana and Artemis are the same goddess, is that Diana and Hekate, or even Isis, are the same goddess 😅 I would believe many of the goddesses were different versions of the same goddess, according to different traditions, but from my more semi-agnostic view, I would say they are personifications of feminine energies. Many depict her as a super-feminist, nearly TERFish, but I rather see her as a goddess who fights for everyone, no matter biological gender, race and sexuality 💖
Hello there if it wouldn’t be a bother , I have a question about something I Remembered recently regarding the “spirit adoption shops” of tumblr, I know on your tik tok and in some videos you mentioned that tumblr and Pinterest influenced your craft when you where Beginning. A little background of me I also had a similar starting with Pinterest and tumblr in the Beginning of my craft I’ve been practicing on off for about 5/6 ish years give or take a year,well this past New Years I said f it and downloaded tumblr again to Reminisce in the cringe my page was and to see if any of the blogs I followed where still active, most weren’t except for one page a spirit adoption shop named Lorelei’s Spirit shop, I thought the spirit shops of that time where just fever dreams of my youth since o was very young back then but I checked and apparently around 2020 was when most went silent but just today the shop I mentioned posted, I’d like to know your opinion of the tumblr spirit shops and how credible any of it was or is because I remember a couple of them required physical money before anything was done , I’m still confused about the whole thing but I just thought is was interesting no one on tik tok or RUclips has talked abt the tumblr spirit adoption shops
I still don't get the connection between Diana and St.Mary and I also felt that Diana and Artemis are different deities. Maybe as the queen of stars they match more, but it is clear to me, as I was a pagan, that there would be no St.Mary without Christianity and especially not without Catholicism and Orthodoxy. I still think that she was affixed over previous female goddess when the folk sentiment didn't want to do without. I had a similar experience with Isis and St.Mary back in the day. It's not a bad thing. People travel and deities travel with them and meet each other. When a new religion and mindset colonize a new land, either for choice or through sword people comply and the next generation are already born into it. Your ancestors may have carried along a very old tradition under different names. That especially happened in the countryside. Italy is now a totally urbanised and materialistic country, but you can still meet the kiosks of the saint among field that have been there for ages. And I'm sure that that there are still mothers who put the statue of St.Anthony of Padua upside down until he finds a husband for their daughters, maybe hidden in an Ikea cabinet 😁
Every time I try to research Diana,stuff about Princess Diana always pops up.
Because she is the physical incarnation or the avatar of Diana much like Jesus was the physical manifestation of the Christian God
@@djyua9157 That is absolutely not true LOL. It's cus Princess Diana was FAMOUS and you're making a google search...
Hey frankie! Im actually an italian folk practitioner as well and am slowly moving into ancestor veneration and my family traditions. Could you possibly make a video on your Italian folk practice and the differences in traditions throughout italy in magic?
Yesss I want to see this too!:)
Yes yes yes! As someone finally beginning her journey into Italian Folk Magick (specifically Sicily), this would be so amazing!
I discovered Diana when looking through deities one day-I’m a baby witch, just starting my craft. I was instantly drawn to her as I read more about her and I wanted to connect with her. Fast forward a couple days and I was driving home from my mothers house-she lives in northern Florida and I HAD to stop by the national forest-Everything in my body was telling me to-and as soon as I pulled in and parked, deer were everywhere.

I am getting back into Wicca after discovering it 4 years ago. I want to work with a horned god that represents my paternal family and a triple goddess that represents my maternal family. My dad’s family is German and Irish so I decided to go with Cernunnos, my mom’s family is extremely Italian so after some research I decided Diana. I feel Diana’s presence pretty strongly at night time, however I don’t usually feel Cernunnos but recently I’ve started to feel him more

Hekate is my matron goddess, and I can totally see why the Romans conflated her with an aspect of Dianna. Trivia is a shared epithet with Hekate. But interestingly the conflation with Hekate and Artemis just doesn't fit intuitively. Suggesting for me, at least, they are separate energies. Such a great video tho, thanks for this Frankie.
Have an awesome New Year 2022, Miss!
I first started being drawn to Hekate as a liminal Goddess. Then, slowly along the way, she showed me a different path with the Roman Goddess Diana Lucifera. Thus my own revelation into my True Self.

Thank you for the info and perspectives! 💫
Thank you so much! She has been reaching out to me recently!

This is very interesting. I also consider Artemis and Diana very different. Artemis has been always been with me, even before I realized it. There are definitely things that go unnoticed by us until we have that moment of recognition.

She came to me when my boyfriend and I were having issues and I had called on Freya actually as I was falling asleep saying please give me a sign because I had been waking up with grid patterns of lupine flowers and then that night I woke up and turned my side and there was a Doberman staring at me and when I blinked the Doberman was gone and there was a lady staring at me at the end of the bed around the corner and she turned around and had flowing brownish black hair and I had talked to a friend about it and she was like that was definitely not Freya it might’ve been lady Diana because I also was calling on Apollo I do see them as two different people lady Diana and Artemis and just recently I actually got my DNA test results back and I knew I was Italian but I also just found out recently I am Greek so that makes sense why Apollo is also calling out to me and working with me. Never thought about St. Mary with Diana though!
Hi Frankie!!!! I love your videos!
Edit: First
Stinky is very chaotic lol
Hey just wondering how many pets do you have and how do you make them get along? Because as much as I want a cat, I have a rabbit and I don't want Lord Alfred Rupert Green III to get hurt in any way 0.0
È possibile avere sottotitoli in italiano?
Her name was different. It was not Diana, it was something else.
The argument for saying Diana and Artemis are the same goddess, is that Diana and Hekate, or even Isis, are the same goddess 😅
I would believe many of the goddesses were different versions of the same goddess, according to different traditions, but from my more semi-agnostic view, I would say they are personifications of feminine energies.
Many depict her as a super-feminist, nearly TERFish, but I rather see her as a goddess who fights for everyone, no matter biological gender, race and sexuality 💖
Hello there if it wouldn’t be a bother , I have a question about something I Remembered recently regarding the “spirit adoption shops” of tumblr, I know on your tik tok and in some videos you mentioned that tumblr and Pinterest influenced your craft when you where Beginning. A little background of me I also had a similar starting with Pinterest and tumblr in the Beginning of my craft I’ve been practicing on off for about 5/6 ish years give or take a year,well this past New Years I said f it and downloaded tumblr again to Reminisce in the cringe my page was and to see if any of the blogs I followed where still active, most weren’t except for one page a spirit adoption shop named Lorelei’s Spirit shop, I thought the spirit shops of that time where just fever dreams of my youth since o was very young back then but I checked and apparently around 2020 was when most went silent but just today the shop I mentioned posted, I’d like to know your opinion of the tumblr spirit shops and how credible any of it was or is because I remember a couple of them required physical money before anything was done , I’m still confused about the whole thing but I just thought is was interesting no one on tik tok or RUclips has talked abt the tumblr spirit adoption shops
Frankie, Devana is the Slavic Diana
There may be a typo in the subtitles - I don’t know anything about Devana (lol) and to my knowledge didn’t mention her in the video
I still don't get the connection between Diana and St.Mary and I also felt that Diana and Artemis are different deities. Maybe as the queen of stars they match more, but it is clear to me, as I was a pagan, that there would be no St.Mary without Christianity and especially not without Catholicism and Orthodoxy. I still think that she was affixed over previous female goddess when the folk sentiment didn't want to do without.
I had a similar experience with Isis and St.Mary back in the day.
It's not a bad thing. People travel and deities travel with them and meet each other.
When a new religion and mindset colonize a new land, either for choice or through sword people comply and the next generation are already born into it. Your ancestors may have carried along a very old tradition under different names. That especially happened in the countryside.
Italy is now a totally urbanised and materialistic country, but you can still meet the kiosks of the saint among field that have been there for ages.
And I'm sure that that there are still mothers who put the statue of St.Anthony of Padua upside down until he finds a husband for their daughters, maybe hidden in an Ikea cabinet 😁

Thank you!!! I’ll ask my editor to lower it a little bit.
Why do you pronounce Luciferus like that?
This person is the replacement for my witchcraft books and is now the person who teaches me

Please ask for forgiveness from Jesus Christ. He is the only way, the only truth and the only light.
