Ogun, Clear the Path

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

Ace of Swords + 2 of Chalices + 6 of Chalices

One day Orisa Ogun was deep in the woods enjoying his favorite pastime, hunting. After some time in the bush, he headed towards a nearby stream for a drink of water. As he approached the stream he heard two men arguing. The men had both caught the same fish. One hook was in one end, the other’s hook was in the other end. The men were arguing over who the fish belonged to. Ogun encouraged the men to calm down and listened to their arguments. Both men were stubborn. Neither of them would calm down long enough to come up with a fair and diplomatic solution. “Enough!” Ogun yelled. His voice echoing through the forest. In an instant, he pulled out his cutlass (machete) and cut the fish in two. Problem solved. Each man received an equal portion of the fish they had caught.

Ogun has come to cut the fish in half. Are you are facing a stalemate? Is there someone in your life who you are not seeing eye to eye with? Are you arguing/fighting over resources? Ogun says no more. It’s time to cut the fish in two. He has come to bring a fair and balanced solution to your situation. You will move from discord to peace. Arguments will transform into mature discussions. Unhealthy relationships will be repaired. Peace offerings and offerings of love will replace anger and hatred. Camaraderie, love, and contentment are being offered at this time. Be open to peaceful resolution. Be open to love.

It's a Miracle!

For the next few months, I will choose cards 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 Swords + 3 of Swords + 6 of Swords

Oh boy. First of all, let me just say that I’m sorry. This energy is heavy. It’s filled with contention, depression, feelings of betrayal, and defeat. Some of you are going through an extremely tough time or are about to. Such is life. We cannot know the feeling of joy without the feeling of despair. Are you arguing with someone? Fighting over resources? Has a lover broken your heart, yet again? Whatever it is, know this. This too shall pass. You are moving through this energy of discord and peace is on the horizon. It may not feel that way but I promise it’s true.

The cards indicate that there is a way you can leave all this negativity behind. Are you ready to hear the message?

Leave behind negative, heavy thinking. Our thoughts can exacerbate situations. Making them better or worse. I write this from experience. Stop looking at that person or situation as the enemy. Look at the world through rose-colored glasses. Look at the world and your experiences through the lens of love. For some of you that may sound impossible. Just a couple of weeks ago I would have felt the same. And then something miraculous happened as I sat before my father Ela. He told me I needed to chill. He told me, through Odu, that sometimes people act out and hurt us because of their own troubling experiences. In that moment, compassion flooded my body in a way that it never has before. Instantly my anger and resentment melted away. I stopped thinking negatively about my situation. Instead, I am sending love and I will receive love in return. Shift your thinking, shift your situation.

You got this!

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

8 of Chalices + 8 of Pentacles

You’ve taken stock of your life and noticed that something is missing. You are satisfied in some areas, not so much in others. The missing piece is causing anxiety and discontent. You can’t take it anymore. And so you go off in search of this thing. You work to attain it. You shed blood, sweat, and tears to attain it. You toil and are focused. You have decided you will have this person, place, or thing. You are directing your will in order to secure it. 8’s represent karma and reaping what is sown. Continue doing the work and you will see the benefits. It’s guaranteed.

Secure The Bag

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!

4 of Pentacles + 3 of Chalices-Secure the Bag

This week you are encouraged to watch the emotions that come up for you around money & finances. Does money, or lackthereof  stress you out? Are you afraid to spend money for fear of not having enough? Do you overspend in order to cultivate feelings of joy? This is a time to consider your emotional connection to money.

The 4 of Pentacles is all about keeping money close, stacking that bread, and securing the bag. This represents someone who makes money and holds onto it for dear life. Guard your resources. And feel free to be choosy in whom you share them with. The 3 of Chalices speaks of consideration and emotion. The figure sits looking off into the distance while filling her cup (emotions, feelings, love). As you consider your resources, financial and otherwise, consider the emotional motivation behind your actions. Why do you behave the way you do where money is concerned? Emotional well being contributes to financial well being. Get your mind/emotions right and watch everything else fall into place.

Raise your Vibration

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!

4 of Swords + 7 of Wands + The Devil

It’s time to go above and beyond. It’s time to ascend. It’s time to rise above the same old bullshit. Those behaviors and thought patterns which have acted as obstacles are passing away. Your higher self is calling to you. Step up. Raise your vibration.

This is a personal battle. One that you have the power to transcend. The external conflict you face at this time is a reflection of the conflict that resides within you. In what ways are you limiting yourself? In what ways are you allowing unhealthy practices to bind you? The time is now. You have the momentum of spirit beside you. The devil within is more harmful than the devil without.

Meditative and spiritual practices/rituals would be helpful at this time. Tap into your own inner guide. Be still. Be mindful of messages that come from a variety of sources. Your connection with spirit will take you higher. Your connection with spirit will help you overcome conflict, internal battles, and unhealthy behavioral patterns. Tune in. Your evolution is at hand.
