Was I being called this whole time?

[TiaJagiya]

Hi everyone, I’m super new to this sub and wouldn’t even call myself a BW yet but I have just had a crazy experience and I would love some advice and guidance.

For some background, I have been interested in witchcraft since I could talk basically, and when I was around 9yrs old I started looking into Wicca. With my 30mins dial up internet I was allowed a day back then, I started doing a little research and I remember reading something that said essentially ‘you are working with a higher being and you can call them whatever you like’ or along those lines.

I have always been drawn to the name Diana (and randomly would always picture the moon when I thought of her) so that’s what I decided to call this higher power and I tried doing small spells here and there but I had no idea what I was doing and had no guidance so I stopped trying.

Years and years go by and every time I see the name Diana I am drawn to it in a way that feels comforting to me, but just chalked it up to nostalgia or just liking the name. Recently though I have been feeling as though I would like to practice properly, when today (literally 10mins ago) I randomly came across a video saying Lucifer had a wife Diana who was the mother of the first witch and I feel like everything just clicked into place so I did some research and from what I can tell she is a Roman(?) Goddess although I genuinely have never heard of her before.

So I guess my question is, is this info right and do you think she was calling me to work with her this whole time? If she was, how do I go about deity work? How do I do it respectfully and carefully as someone with essentially no experience? Thanks so much in advance for your help!

TLDR; felt drawn to the name Diana since first trying out Wicca as a child, now as an adult came across a video about the Goddess Diana and wanting to know if she was calling me this whole time.

That’s how it happens! Actually kinda happened almost the same way to me with Diana. And yes that’s Her Roman name. Diana, the Triple Moon Goddess. Great Lady of the Moon.

I think traditionally Diana is known as the virgin goddess of the moon, but yes, there’s absolutely a goddess named Diana. There’s an entire branch of Wicca centered around her, in fact. Dianic Wicca.

And it does sound as if you’re called by Her.
