Significance
Lust can be said to be the driving force of witchcraft. Our lust to influence our lives and the lives of others makes us determined, focused, and courageous enough to commune with the unseen forces that dwell in Darkness. When we look up to the vast Night sky in its infinite expanse, we summon the strength to reach up to it, to pull forth shadows from the Void, and to wrestle with its demons. Lust brings strength, whether inner or outer; it is our Higher Self, that part of us that refuses to accept weakness in any form, and when we execute our Lust, our desires, we manifest results. Just as the witch locks hands with the demon, the embodiment of Lust, he does not give up; he stares into its eyes and accepts the challenge. The witch has the confidence to know that he will not be defeated by Lust because he will master it and embrace it.
Divinatory Meaning
Lust invoked means strong inner spiritual power. You have embraced your Lust and know that it gives you the stamina to persevere. It fuels you, it feeds you, and you have the determination to get what you want. You can easily control situations with little force, often times appearing as easily controlled when in reality, you can use this as a way to control others. You deal with stress well because when you start to get burned out, your inner fire ignites and helps you refocus and collect yourself. Because of the strength of your character, you are fiercely loyal and do everything you can to support those around you. You are good in emergency situations and others turn to you for strength in their time of need. Be sure to tame your inner demon and not let raw emotions cloud your judgement. Because your emotions are so strong, take the time to let your rage subside and try to act with compassion and forgiveness.
Banished Meaning
Banished Lust means your desires are out of balance. You are conflicted with feelings of self-doubt and a lack of self control. Something is depleting your self-confidence, so take the time to recharge and remember you have immense power inside you that will never go away no matter how you are currently feeling. You may have low energy. If you feel weak and out of control, Lust banished is urging you to focus on yourself rather than on others. Do not lash out or give in to arguments. Your inner demon is winning but it is not too late to turn the tables and retake control. If needed, seek out professional help to aid in controlling your emotions.
