DECEMBER Collective Tarot Reading, Oracle Downloads and Life Update

I knoooooow! It’s literally been almost a year since my last post. Let me catch y’all up on a few things!

• I did a very powerful and healing Mushi ceremony at the beginning of the year. I’m a huge advocate of psychedelics and their healing properties. NYE ‘23 I did an all day trip and it has truly been the catapult of BIG tower moments this year.

• 2023 was the WORST year of my life, I never want to be here again. Logging tf offffff. However, I did actually need this humbling year to focus on the areas of my life that desperately needed attention. Do not fight Goddess when she tells you it’s time to change your ways!

• The business/brand was a major flop this year but that’s ok! Because slow seasons give us time to finetune our craft and that’s exactly what tf I did!

• My favorite bar in my city closed (you can read more about that later) and honestly if that’s not a major sign that it’s time to pack it up and leave Atlanta, idk what is!

• Family issues caused some major childhood trauma to resurface, but are you really healed if you’re still being triggered? That’s what I asked myself and am still doing the unlearning work!

• Life may be a lil chaotic, but it’s good because it’s MINE!

And that’s what you missed on GLEE! Even healers have human moments, we need them for character development!

Here’s a few things to look out for during the rest of December (using Astrology and Claircognizance)

• Water Placements (specifically water Rising, Moon, & Venus) Be HELLA mindful of what energies you’re allowing into your space right now. You are extremely vulnerable to low energy vibrations during this Sagittarius sun season. Don’t let people walk over your emotions water signs. Take some time to do some serious spiritual maintenance; white bath, smudge session, meditation, prayer, etc.

• Air placements, with Mercury being in the sign of Capricorn. Do yourself a favor and don’t jump too soon. If you’re moving back into a space of creation, that’s great! However, be careful with telling too much too soon. It’s important that your creative babies have time to grow and mature at their own pace! Also, Mercury will station retrograde on the 14th! Use this shadow period to do some much needed self-care!

• Fixed signs (Taurus, Scorpio, Aquarius & Leo), it’s time for you to stop repeating cycles that are causing you to stay stagnant. If you find yourself struggling to do that work, start with identifying what about this situation isn’t bringing you joy. Write it down, study it, break it down even further. Once that step is done, do little things each day that benefit you removing yourself from the equation. Some habits/addictions can be hard to break, but it can be done.

• Chiron in Aries, a solid reminder that we can not live in a peaceful world while conflict is arise. Where in your life can you show up in community in a more meaningful way? With the holidays rolling around, take some time to volunteer at a local shelter, babysit your friends/family kiddos, donate money to a grass roots fund, share (fact checked) information about the attack on Gaza. There are plenty of ways that you can contribute to the betterment of humanity.

• Venus in Libra, now is not the time to take a backseat in your relationships. It can be easy to avoid confrontation and conflict. However, the more you avoid it the worse the situation will get. Whether you’re questioning staying with a partner(s), changing career paths or just generally wanting to better your life. Now is the time to push past your need to shy away from big conversations, activate that throat chakra! Scorpio placements, try not to get knocked up right now. You might be feeling very flirty and thriving, but the baby fever is very real right now.

• Mars in Sagittarius might be enhancing that libido, but don’t let it get you into trouble! Be mindful of who you swap energy with this month. Create your 2024 mood board TODAY. Do not hesitate on creating the blueprint for your life. What does that vision look like for you? Are you still moving in fear or are you fully moving in faith? The Creator is forever wondering which path you will choose. You’ll be loved no matter what, but the love you have for yourself must match that of the divine.

When the emotions start flowing do you internalize or do you dance it out? Odd question, I know. But, I ask that because it’s time for you to start processing your inner turmoil in heathier ways. Shutting down and pouting was cool when you were five, but now it’s time to process and move tf on bestie. You can no longer allow you to sabotage YOU! Okay, so some shit just really sucks and sure right now it may feel like the end of the world. However, are you gonna sit and spoil like milk or are you going to add some chocolate syrup and level up? There’s nothing worse than adding to your own misery after you’ve been slighted by outside forces. You don’t have to be another harmful addition to your spirit. Light your candles, do a return to sender spell and keep it flowing! Life can only flourish if we give it space to do so!

Interested in return to sender work or binding/banishing work in general? Book an Oracle consultation and get some “how-to” tips on spell casting.

At what point are you going to listen to the universe? I know you like to be in charge and do things your own way. It makes you feel safe and in control. What if I told you that the reason you have such a hard time sometimes is because you’re refusing to let divine timing do its thing. Have you ever wondered why sometimes you see the people around you/peers/co-workers doing the things that you dream about? Like you get on IG and see that one of your mutuals has launched a service that you have been sitting on the fence about? Get offline and get to work. Your mind and spirit are overloaded with vibes that aren’t doing anything but damaging your psyche. Might be time to do a mass unfollowing and curating timelines that inspire you instead of making you feel like you’re behind. Could also be a good time for a social media hiatus, the internet can truly be overwhelming for the creatives of the world. Take care of yourself bby.

Need a little help finding your direction and inspiration? You can book a mini tarot reading and see what the cards have to say for you! Also, listen take a listen to “Southern Witch Radio” while you create!

The crazy thing about rock bottom, is that the only way to go is up. This year has been hard for you. Hell, if anything you’ve probably felt like the shadow is the only place that you’ll be. Oh, how wrong you are my bestie! You’re going through what I call the “Blooming Phase” of ascension. It’s the part where you imagine yourself like a flower. Bold and beautiful. However, like a flower you must go through the hard parts first. First. you’re the seed being planted into the soil. It’s cool. It’s a lil dark, but you fuck with the vibes. Next, you feel the refreshing sprays of the water from the hose. Keeping you hydrated, filling up those dry parts of you. Because of all that water you then start to grow roots. and this is where shit gets tough. It is NOT easy growing roots are becoming blossomed flower. Pushing those roots out. and stopping at nothing to see the sunlight again is intentional growth. Be intentional in your ascension! You get to choose whether or not you make it to the end. Are you going to be the last one standing after it all falls down or are you going to be defeated? Your choice.

Now that you’re starting from the bottom, might I suggest a 2024 Year Ahead tarot reading! You’ll get a nice checklist of all the things that you can look forward to next year. This reading includes major astrological transits for 2024 too!

The Shadow Can Be Your Friend

TW: I will be speaking very vulnerably about grief, death and the healing process from my perspective.

The first time I witnessed death I was 4 or 5. My Great-Grandmother, Big Ma passed away. I remember the feeling of grief meeting me like a close friend. I had this radio/karaoke machine that I listened to nonstop. That tiny little toy tape player became a comfort blanket for me, something about listening to Tone Loc made me feel very comforted. At some point I moved on, because my childhood evolved and new feelings replaced grief. I grew up in a massive family, my bloodline is long af. Both sides of my tree expands into multiple realms and timelines, it’s beautiful. Because of that, I grew up surrounded by aunties, cousins, uncles, from multiple generations.

When I say grief and I became besties, we really did. My moms mother., Granny Ernestine got promoted to glory when I was 8. I remember my family telling us that she had cancer, I remember so much about that time… especially my feelings. My maternal grandmother taught me so much; how to sew, the importance of patience in the kitchen and she’s the reason I fell in love with romance movies. I always felt like she understood me in ways that I couldn’t always say out loud. She died the summer before 4th grade and it hit me hard, because who was going to speak for me now? I started grief counseling that school year and though it helped. I still had a hard time letting that grief go for real. I felt like my family was all hurting in some way and felt like I had to put my own needs to the back. As a child, it just felt like no one wanted to experience grief with me even though we all felt it.

As time went on, I began to lose other family members. My Maternal grandmothers entire immediate maiden family is gone. Every single one of her siblings died one after another, there’s a conversation around that, but that’s a story for a later day. Now on my dads side of the family, I just knew everybody was going to be there forever. I got used to family passing on my moms side of the tree, but my paternal… it was unheard of. The summer after 9th grade, I was living my best life. Going to camp and traveling to New York I was having a blast. Until I got a phone call one day telling me that my uncle had died, I broke down. My Uncle Boo was nothing but a pure example of unconditional love. I often feel like if he was alive when I came out as Queer it would’ve been an easier moment for me. When he died, it altered the way I did a lot of things. I felt very disconnected from everyone around me and again, felt like I couldn’t share the experience with my family.

Again, time passes and grief and become enemies for a while. Outside of loved ones passing, I lost friendships, broke up with partners and just experiencing heartbreak in multiple ways. Grief for me became a bitter, backstabbing bitch to be real. I hated feeling grief, I hated the fact that I could never fully function in my happiness because nobody was talking to me. Sure I had friends, but what I needed was my family to really get a hold of me. Eventually they did and shoutout to them because they definitely showed up for me after a huge breakdown I had at 19. I learned to let grief back in slowly of course, we had to get comfortable with one another. My papa died in 2019, I was away working at a summer camp when I got the call. This time I was slightly prepared for grief to come back home, because by then I was reclaiming my love for spirituality.

Reclaiming my faith and fully stepping into that is what saved me then and has kept me sane when I am faced with soul crushing moments. I now know how to keep those relationships going when it comes to death. My ancestors and I spend so much time together, every day we talk and gather together. Although, I can say that I have my faults when it comes to that. In recent years, I’ve spent less time with my family who are still here. There’s something to be said about balance in relationships, even as a diviner it is important to keep your heart open to all of your branches.

Idk, maybe it’s just me, but we have to start being more gentle with ourselves.

I love you.
