Allow Doubt to Die

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!


Emperor + 4 of Wands + Death


The number 4 is a prominent theme in this week’s reading. 4 represents stability and the building of a strong foundation. It represents strength and hard work. The number four is calling on you to keep doing the work necessary to progress. Let nothing stand in the way of your forward movement. Get clear on your objectives and use your will to bring them to fruition. Believe you can.

The Emperor doesn’t play, he is fully aware of what he wants and nothing will stand between him and his goal. He is full of fire, stern, the father figure of the Major Arcana. Use your fire and passion for your good.

The 4 of Wands is another fiery energy but fiery in a good way. The 4 of Wands ushers in celebration and camaraderie. You have put in the work, the hard, grueling work and you are ready to reap the rewards. The question is what are you willing to let go of in order to secure your victory? This celebration will only come with the death of unhealthy patterns and ways of being. Allow fear, doubt, confusion, overthinking and negative self talk to pass away. Allow all self imposed obstacles to die. The Emperor doesn’t doubt, he doesn’t fear or self-sabotage. Nor should you.

Fight for What's Right!

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!

Justice + Knight of Swords

Society teaches us to push on, no matter what. To overlook and sweep under the rug imbalance and injustice. We are inundated with imagery which suggests that these ways are the norm. It’s normal to watch a Black man shot down by law enforcement. It’s normal to see the mentally ill being mistreated by fellow citizens. It’s the norm to step over or record a human being who is passed out on a subway platform. People don’t check to see if he/she is alive, they’d rather record it for the Gram. Those things that were once considered abnormal or an anomaly are now the norms. The good thing about all of this is that we can forgo the programming that says this is customary. We have the power of choice. The power to say no, this is not my norm and I will stand for what I know is right.

This week’s message is encouraging you to fight for and pursue justice in every area of your life where you’ve identified imbalance. If you have become apathetic about the problems of the world, stop. Instead, pick a cause to dedicate your time and resources to. If you’ve allowed an area of your life to become imbalanced. A relationship, work-life balance etc. choose to bring justice to this area. Use your will, your inner warrior to call in rightness. Make this a priority and let nothing stop you. Ase.

Breakthrough or Breakdown???

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!

King of Wands + 7 of Swords + Temperance

It’s coming.

Can you feel it?

You are on the brink of a major breakthrough or breakdown.

Which will you choose?

Jess was training for a marathon. A week prior to the event she decided to run the full length of the marathon in preparation. She’d trained for months and had confidence that she could complete the run in record time. The morning air was warm as she began her run. Mile 1 came and went, as did Mile 2, 3, 4, 5.... Jess felt good. After another few miles Jess’ joints began to ache due to the humidity in the air. She remembered the possibility of rain showers. Intermittently rain falls. Jess continues. Intermittent drops become drizzle. Jess shrugs it off and continues. Thunder roars in the balance. It’s mile 15. Jess is on a roll and refuses to let a little rain stop her.

The storm comes. The rain, now heavier, begins to fall and threatens Jess’ resolve. She is determined to complete her run but is starting to worry. “The road is slick, what if I slip? My knees hurt. Another 11 miles. I don’t think so.” Jess is now considering all the reasons why she should stop running. Weary; she begins to slow down…

Jess has a choice. She can allow her thoughts and the physical conditions to impede her progress or she can push on. This goes for you as well. Will you allow stinkin’ thinkin’ or unpleasant conditions to slow you down or stop you? Or will you rise above the lower nature and  tap into your passion? Will you remain determined in the face of obstacles? Or will you throw in the towel? Will you choose moderation and discipline? Or will you overindulge and forgo your purpose?

This is your time.

Choose wisely.

Let Go and Thrive!

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!

Queen of Pentacles + 5 of Swords + Knave of Chalices

In life, we all experience challenges. There’s no denying it. Contention, discord, fight are all part of the human experience. Yet, there are times when we (you & I) contribute to our own discord.

Emotional immaturity is often at the forefront of this imbalance. The way we perceive and think about experiences is also a catalyst for contention. Examine your emotional processes. Study your own thinking. When you do this, you begin to hone your powers of manifestation. Instead of being a passive participant in life, you become an active participant, a co-creator with the most high.

You begin to call in abundance, resourcefulness, and joy. Let go of that which no longer serves you and your evolution.

Let go and thrive.

Gifts from Heaven

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!

Queen of Wands + Ace of Pentacles

You are being presented with an offer that will increase your bottom line. It’s coming. A proposition, idea, or flash of insight that carries abundance with it. It’s almost as if it’s being handed to you. A gift from the heavens. Can you feel it? After all of the struggle and discomfort of days past you are finally offered respite. Be on the lookout for a powerful, passionate woman whose spirit is big and bold. You’re ‘come up’ may be connected to her or a feminine spirit of fire. Does a particular ancestor come to mind? Mama has come to fight for you and your well being. Offer gratitude.   

Additionally, your passion, practicality, and intuition will serve you well at this time. Pay attention to the inner knowings that come up from the depths of your soul. Be aware of the information that appears suddenly. It may be the catalyst for great shifts in your life. Allow passion to thrust you into unknown spaces while still being practical in your approach. What you seek is seeking you. Be in the flow.
