It's a Celebration!

For the next few months, I will choose a card from the African American Tarot deck as a prompt for my blog posts. Let’s see what spiritual insight I come up with!

10 of Chalices-It’s a Celebration!

For months I lived with a roommate I didn’t particularly care for. He was passive aggressive and acted as if his word was law. Whenever I was alone in the space I felt free, light, and comfortable. Anytime he was home I avoided him. It was a very unpleasant way to live.

Throughout the duration of my stay I was looking for another place to live, which isn’t always easy in NYC. I searched and searched. Visiting apartment after apartment hoping to find a place that met my criteria. I was looking for a spot that was comfortable, peaceful, well-kept, affordable and pet-friendly.

One day I went to see a cute little place in Brooklyn. It was on the second floor of a private home right off the F train line. I could see myself living here in comfort. So I completed the application, gathered my documents and sent them off to the realtor. Finally! This was it. I had found my home.

Days passed and the realtor was unable to give me an answer on the status of the application. He indicated that the landlord was evasive because the current tenants were thinking about staying in the apartment after all. He asked that I give him a couple of days to sort things out. This place, though cute was not my home. I was disappointed. Yet, I was sure that it didn’t work out because it was not supposed to. It was not my time to move, even though I was eager to.

When the timing was right and only when the timing was right I was blessed with the opportunity to move into a beautiful place of my own. It is peaceful, pet-friendly, well-kept, and comfortable. It is everything that I’ve wanted!  And the bonus is that it has gorgeous hardwood floors. (I love hardwood floors!) At times the journey is long and arduous. Hold on. There will be cause to celebrate. Your time is coming.

Embrace Your Renewal

For the next few months, I will choose a card from the African American Tarot deck as a prompt for intuitive writings. Let’s see what spiritual insight I come up with!

Judgement-Embrace Your Renewal

After going through some shit... After falling flat on your face and learning (hopefully) from your missteps… It is time for you to rise again. You will be reborn and renewed. You will go forward with new information. You will proceed with a new lesson which comes from the gift of trial and error. A new knowing has been born within. Like the phoenix, you are rising from the ashes of your demise. Allow yourself to be renewed, refreshed, reborn. This is your time. Break free. Embrace your renewal.

You Have Won the Battle

For the next few months, I will choose a card from the African American Tarot deck as a prompt for my blog posts. Let’s see what spiritual insight I come up with!

Knight of Wands-You Have Won the Battle

The sun, high, emerges from behind the clouds. Here we find a man with the wings of a bird fighting his way out of the serpent's mouth. He emerges victorious. The serpent's power is no match for his own. A wand, the symbol of manifesting one's will is beside him.

The struggle is real. But the warrior has won the battle.

The past month I’ve found myself fighting an invisible battle. The battle has been within. I have been called upon to fight practices and ways of being that are detrimental to my progression. It’s been depressing and exhausting. Yet, I feel as if I am finally about to cross the finish line. I am the warrior knight fighting my way out of the belly of the beast. My will is strong, my spirit is filled with fire and with determination. I cannot be stopped. The beast will not defeat me. I did not come to this time and space to be defeated. I did not come to allow unhealthy patterns to defeat me. No. I came to win. With the support of Olodumare I stand in victory. This message is for you as well. It's your time. Victory is near!

Courage

For the next few months, I will choose a card from the African American Tarot deck as an intuitive writing prompt for my blog posts. Let’s see what spiritual insight I come up with!

Strength-Courage

In the West African tradition of Ifa, Orisa Sango represents courage. Sango is the energy we tap into when we are paralyzed by fear; unable to progress in love. It is Sango that we call on when we have become stuck in a rut and are afraid to try a different path. Oba ko so. The king did not hang is a chant followers use to connect with this deity.

Susan is in a relationship with Tod. She’s been with Tod for 10 years. Tod is a handful, to say the least. She loves him but he has cheated on multiple occasions and is emotionally abusive. Susan is unhappy with this treatment but stays out of fear that she will end up alone.

Drake has worked as a custodian in a public school since getting his High School diploma. This is not the work he wanted to do but the pay is decent and the benefits are good. Drake gets up and goes to work 6 days a week without excitement. As a youth, he dreamed of becoming a professional piano player. His parents discouraged this saying that he wouldn’t make enough money to take care of himself. Over time Drake became afraid of leaving the stability of his city job and let go of his dreams.

Connecting with Orisa Sango would be a great benefit to Susan and Drake. For in connecting with Sango, one is essentially connecting with their own inner source of strength and courage. Courage = Freedom

In what way is fear blocking your path?

In what area of your life are you stuck and unable to move simply because you are afraid?

Are you Ready?

For the next few months, I will choose a card from the African American Tarot deck as a prompt for my blog posts. Let’s see what spiritual insight I come up with!

7 of Chalices-Are you ready?

She stands in a lush garden surveying the cups/chalices that lay before her. Each chalice represents an opportunity for emotional fulfillment or disappointment. She has options. In her choosing of one cup, she will neglect another. All of her desires can be found at her feet.  

When faced with a number of choices how does one choose? How do we know which cup will yield the desired result?

I don’t think we understand the importance of making choices that are aligned with our destiny. One wrong move can propel us in a direction that is detrimental to our wellbeing. While one right move can lead to great success.

The key in choosing correctly is knowing what you truly desire. Buried deep down inside you know exactly what you want. The truth lies within your being. Stillness, prayer, and divination are all tools that can align you with this knowledge.

Being clear about what you want in any given moment provides a clear path to abundance. It triggers your will and inner fire. Being confident in one's desire sends a signal to our spiritual allies that we are ready to receive abundance. Are you ready?
