Astrology is a very intense and powerful method for both divination and magic. It is considered extremely important to understand yourself through this occult art.
Ancient priests and priestesses believed that each sign of the zodiac was affiliated with deities and spirits due to the nature of each sign.
In addition, occultists and mysticists have consulted astrology in order to perform summoning spells and other rituals. Therefore, each sign has affiliated entities from which we have tried to define a patron goddess in this article.
Note that these deities are so powerful that of course, they transcend the limits of a zodiac sign. However, it seems fairer to call upon the “patron goddess” who is naturally closer to you. In addition, this connection may already be clear to you.

Upon entering a trance phase, it is said that they transferred the strength of enemies to their own warriors. Finally, Freya has a deep love and an affiliation with fairies.
While Freya was in the underground kingdom of the dwarves, Svartalfaheim, she observed four dwarfs forging a magnificent necklace of gold and precious jewelry, Brisingamen, the emblem of the stars. In order to obtain this treasure, Freya asked the dwarves what they wanted in return. As you may have guessed, Freya had to “sleep” with the dwarves in order to obtain this treasure which she then enchanted with her magic.
