How this reference is made.

Who writes it

DivineLore is written and maintained by DivineLore Editorial — a small independent team of researchers and writers, not a content farm and not a single named guru. We're students of these traditions rather than ordained practitioners, and we'd rather be honest about that than invent credentials. Our job is to read the primary material carefully and translate it into clear, accurate English.

What you can expect from us is diligence and transparency: faithful summaries of what each tradition actually teaches, the reasoning behind it, and an honest line between the tradition's claims and established fact. Where a subject calls for a qualified professional — a doctor, a registered astrologer, a financial adviser — we say so and send you to one.

Our sources

Every section is built from the foundational texts and standard references of its tradition, not recycled from other blogs. Among the primary sources we work from:

• Vedic astrology & Muhurat — the Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, Brihat Jataka of Varahamihira, and classical Panchangam conventions (Lahiri ayanamsha).
• Ayurveda — the Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita, the two classical compendia of Ayurvedic medicine.
• Tarot — the Rider–Waite–Smith tradition and the established literature on the Major and Minor Arcana.
• Numerology — the Pythagorean system as set out in modern standard references.
• Vastu, Palmistry, Crystals & Symbols — traditional Shilpa Shastra texts, classical chiromancy, documented mineralogy, and comparative iconography.

Where Western and Vedic lineages differ — as they do across all of astrology — we present both rather than flattening them into one.

Editorial standards

Four rules govern every page:

• Explain, don't assert. Each claim carries its reasoning, so you finish a page understanding the system, not just its verdict.
• No filler. No Lorem Ipsum, no padding, no AI-generated waffle passed off as research. If a page exists, it's because there's something real to say.
• Tradition, not fear. Remedies, doshas, and afflictions are described as cultural practice. We never manufacture anxiety to push a product or a cure.
• Cross-checked. Names, dates, Sanskrit terms, planetary rulerships, and correspondences are verified against the source texts before publishing.

Belief vs. evidence

This is the line we care about most. Astrology, palmistry, and crystal healing are belief systems with long cultural histories; they are not established science, and we never imply otherwise. Ayurveda contains both time-tested practice and claims that modern medicine has not verified. We write about all of it with respect and curiosity — and we keep the distinction between "this tradition teaches" and "this is proven" visible on the page, so you can hold both in mind.

Independence & money

DivineLore is independent. When we eventually carry advertising or affiliate links, they will never change what a page says — a stone is described by its tradition and mineralogy, not by whether it's for sale. Recommendations are editorial, never paid placements dressed up as guidance.

The tools — birth chart, Life Path, dosha quiz, and the rest — run entirely in your browser. Birth dates, times, and answers are processed on your device and are not sent to or stored on any server. Search works the same way, against a static index.

Corrections

Accuracy matters more to us than polish. If something is unclear, incomplete, or simply wrong — a mistranslated term, a wrong rulership, a date that doesn't add up — it's worth telling us, and we'll fix it. Pages carry a "last updated" date in their metadata so you can see when they were last reviewed.
