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.

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!
