The Signs as Types of Magic/Divination

The suffix “-mancy” comes from Ancient Greek «μαντεία»(“divination”), coming from either «μάγος»(“mage”, from Persian “al-Maguś” which refers to a Mede tribe known as Mages) or «μαίνειν», “to delirate”, with regards to the divine possession which took part within the oracles: this was called «ενθουσιασμός», (from the preposition εν meaning “inside” and θεός, “god”). In fact, as Cicero said in his work De divinatione, expressing it not as his thought but the opinion of mages, “Si di sunt, est divinatio; sunt autem di, est ergo divinatio.”(II, 41). Oh, and the suffix -kinesis comes from κίνησις meaning “movement”, and the word “cinematography” comes from that, too!

Aries: Runecasting, viking practice used, similarly to Tarots, for predicting a likely outcome by examining cause and effect of a situation. The word rune comes from Nordic raunen, meaning to whisper.

Taurus: Haruspicy, the inspection of the entrails, a practice that came to Rome from the Etruscan civilization; an example of instrument used is the Liver of Piacenza (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Piacenza_Bronzeleber.jpg), and the term comes from Archaic Latin haru, meaning entrails and the root “spec-“, to observe.

Gemini: Crystal ball reading, used by Druids who would partake in it with beryl balls. It was also used during the Roman Empire and the Middle Ages (hey, one was even found in King Childeric 1st’s tomb!). Used to acquire symbolical visions of the present or future.

Cancer: Phyllorhodomancy, a method consisting in taking omens from rose leaves and rose petals. It was common in Ancient Greece to smack a rose’s petals against the hand and observe how loud the sound was, but in the 18th and 19th century it was also really common to pluck the rose on Midsummer’s Eve, wrap it in white paper and hide it until someone, who was then bound to marry the person, found it.

Leo: Solaromancy, an oriental type of divination consisting in the observation of the sun’s rays and its movement to understand possible important events in the future.

Virgo: Tarots, their ancestors were said to be wooden tablets found around 1st century AD in Palestine, and in ancient populations from the Near East these symbols were drawn on the walls of a temple’s room, where men who came to know their fate would spin around themselves until the dizziness made them fall in front of the chosen symbol. Widely spread and used for their rich details and quasi-infinite correspondences.

Libra: Cheiromancy, consisting in the reading of one’s lines of the palm in order to foretell. Bumps are also examined and the dominant hand is usually seen first, as the second one is thought to represent past life and the karmic consequences.

There are four types of hands corresponding to the four elements, and in Greek mythology for example every part of the hand is associated to a divinity (such as Apollo to the ring finger). The first witnesses of cheiromancy come from the Hindu sage Valmiki, whose teachings spread across the Mediterranean.

Scorpio: Necromancy, the art of calling the deceased from the otherworld to receive answers to one’s questions. In the Bible’s Book of Deuteronomy, for example, King Saul asks the Witch of Endor to summon Samuel’s spirit, who will foretell great and imminent destructions. The Caldaeans were also known for their practices and so the Mages, feared by the Arians. The Roman author Lucan also mentions the story of Erychtho, a famous Thessalian sorceress who foresaw the Battle of Pharsalus’ outcome. In the Middle Ages, it was also believed that necromancy would allow three things: will manipulation, illusions and knowledge.

Sagittarius: Theriomancy, method of observing an animal’s movements to predict the weather shifts, and also of predicting future events by studying mutated animals, such as a red calf or a bright yellow hen, both symbols of the gods.

Capricorn: I Ching divination, based on an 1000 BC divination text known as the Classic of Changes, in which three coins were thrown in the midst of a design of 64 hexagrams made with stems of bloodwort.

Aquarius: Rabdomancy, from Greek ράβδος (rhàbdos), rod, it consisted in watching where a stick (usually made of wood) would fall to take a decision or find a path. Used by Väinämöinen, the demigod and protagonist of the heroic poem Kalevala, it was also known in Ancient Greece.

Pisces: Oneiromamcy, form of divination through dreams that is also present in the Bible and in Middle Eastern works, it was also the main theme of Artemidorus’ Oneirocritica. Generally we can say about these predictions that each animal, type of natural element, plant or person (distinguished by blood ties or social occupation) had a different meaning.

Turan, Goddess of Love

Alluring, pure, fascinating and bold, Turan is the love, fertility and femininity goddess of the Etruscan pantheon and also the protector of the ancient city of Velch. The Gallo-Roman Museum in Tongeren, Belgium states that her name in Etruscan means “dove”, while other linguists came to the conclusion that it shares the same indoeuropean of the Ancient Greek word “τύραννος”, standing for “lord”. Nonetheless, two other theories exist: the first one recalls the dominant nuance of Turan’s persona, as the Ancient Greek word for “matron” is the similar sounding noun “δρούνα”; the latter instead focuses more on the Etruscan word “Tan” meaning “moon”, and its nexus with the goddess’ name, as female deities in numerous religions are believed to be bearers of the lunar energy, opposed to the male solar energy. The goddess shares a vast number of similarities with her Roman equivalent, Venus, such as the romantic relationship with the charming Adonis (in Etruscan “Atunis”), and a presumable bonding with the god of war Acun (where the “c” implies an aspiration). Her maidens were called “Lasas” and her spirit animals are pigeons and black swans. The importance given to such goddess is a clear hint to the matriarchal society on which archaic Etruria planted its roots, as even later women will have freedom and privileges (such as the right of landowning and having personal accessories of any type). She is also known as “Turan ati”, meaning “Mother Turan”, similarly to Cybele in Anatolia and Ashtoreth in abrahamic cults.

The song which I think incarnates at best the fascinating, tense, seductive and virginal nature of Turan is “Lovesick” by BANKS, as the rhythm carries a nostalgic and frustrating, yet mystifying and almost monumental verve. It reminds me of a heavenly garden with sakura trees dotted all over, under a menacing crimson sky.

I hope with all my heart you experience the music’s aura.
