Ancient Greek & Roman Knot Magic - Part. 1

Some quotes from "Magic, Witchcraft, and Ghosts in the Greek and Roman Worlds : a sourcebook" by Daniel Ogden

Decided to break down this post into multiple ones because the quotes are too damn long.

Writing these research down on my blog because I'm interested in the mechanism/logic behind these things.

Tongue binding :

"See! An old woman of many years sits among the girls. She will perform the rites of Tacita, "the Silent One", although she scarecely keeps silent herself. With three of her fingers she places three pieces of incense under a threashold, exploiting the secret run a mouse has made for itself. The she binds enchanted threads together with dark lead and turns seven black beans over in her mouth. She roasts on a fire the sewn-up fish head, which she has sealed with pitch and pierced with a bronze needle. She also drips wine over it. She drinks the leftovers of the wine with her companions, but she herself drinks the greater part. As she leaves she proclaims "We have bound the tongues of our enemies and hostile mouths." With that the old woman goes off drunk. Fasti, Ovid

When you're marrying or giving it a thought, check your s/o Moon sign's nakshatra 'Gana'

'Gana' means Clan. Gana matching is very important for a long term commitment or relationships

In Vedic astrology, there are 3 ganas:

Dev gana(divine, godly category)

Manisha/Manushya gana (human, earthly category)

Rakshasa gana (devil category, sort of tamasika)

If any of these are not compatible, its known as 'Gana Dosha'. But one exception is if your sign lord are good /mutual, or if the ppl involved have same Navamsha, this Dosha won't be taken into account.

Dev gana people have good intuition, their spiritual manifestation works faster than the latter two. They won't hesitate to help people. Stubborn. Don't change thier views or themselves easily. Can be prideful.

Manushya gana people are human like, they are people who are obedient to the elders and are ethical. May not help others but are mixed.

Rakshasa gana people are dominating/bossy (in a good way tho) they have a good direction of things and are impulsive too. Go getters. Can easily read energies. Cruel and selfish at times.

Side note: In Hindu epics, even the demons (called 'daityas', 'danav', 'asur' or 'Rakshas') possessed as much powers as the gods and demi-gods. (Or even more, but it depends on the penance)

So here's the thing, compatibility between these are important:

1) Dev gana combos

Dev Gana + Manushya gana= good 👍but the dev gana would be dominating. Unity is nice, lesser conflicts. Harmonious relationship. (5pts are rewarded)

Dev Gana + Dev gana= Very good understanding between both. Unity🎀. Perfect for marriage or any relationship (6pts are rewarded for this combo)

Dev Gana + Rakshasa gana= not compatible. Since the clans are total opposite, there maybe fights, adjustments are only valid till a limit. Don't get along well due to the polarity in their thoughts.

2) Manushya Gana combos.

Manushya + Manushya= again, same thinking, good unity between partners.

Manushya + Rakshasa= this is where the bad news comes, humans can't rule over devils, so this thing is a problem in the relation. The Manushya gana person gets dominated by the Rakshasa gana. The cruelty of the Rakshas gana person starts showing up. Lots of power play (if the other placements in the chart state otherwise). (Idk if true but, my grandma used to believe that in this combo, either of the partner lives, and mostly it is the least dominant party which is taken away, lol) (0pts for this combo)

💙 Dev Gana nakshatras: Ashwini, Mrisgshirsha, Punarvasu, Pushya, Hasta, Swati, Anuradha, Shravana, Revati.

❤️ Rakshasa Gana nakshatras: Krittika, Ashlesha, Magha, Chitra, Vishakha, Jyeshtha, Moola, Dhanista, Satabhisha

🧡 Manushya Gana nakshatras: Bharani, Rohini, Ardra, Purvaphalguni, Uttaraphalguni, Purvashada, Uttarashada, Purvabhadrapada, Uttarabhadrapada.

In conclusion, i would say, please don't base your opinion solely on this Gana of Nakshatras, other things in the d9 chart and the natal horoscopes are important and are being taken into account, this thing is just a part of it.

That's all for today, i hope you enjoyed this post ✨🖤

My ex used to talk up lightskin/latina women to me so much, his phone backgrounds was always one, the celebs he crushed on just the women in general he found attractive and i was like? What are you doing with me?

I did things for him.

Babied him, treated him like gold, but he never wanted me, he just wanted to be taken care of.

That’s what they use us for, until they find a lightskin women that wants them so they can trip over themselves for someone who ‘deserves it’.

I’m just really down and emotional today, being a black woman is so hard and I’m tired of crying and feeling worthless to these men that we continue to do everything for.

Man.. growing up is so hard
