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?

Cutting Through The Bullshit...

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!

The Chariot + King of Swords-Cutting Through the Bullshit... 

Many people move through life carrying patterns of behavior and habits that are counterproductive to their well being. These individuals become upset when they experience the same hardship again and again. I am a member of this group. Therefore, I am speaking from experience. It is time to stop repeating patterns and willfully participating in harmful cycles. Today, I say no more.

The current universal energy is providing a momentum which will allow for the instant manifestation of new ways, new practices, and ways of being. What we once considered impossible becomes possible. A bad habit can be released in a moment. A harmful way of thinking can be swept away. Things that have been with you for decades, can now fall away at a moment’s notice.

This shift in consciousness starts with your intention. Getting clear about what you want your life to look and feel like will propel you in the right direction. Knowing what you will allow into your space and what you will say no to is imperative. Mental clarity is at the forefront of this great shift. Cut through your bullshit, gain clarity and watch magic manifest.

Financial Stability

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!

King of Pentacles-Financial Stability

Money is no issue. When this energy arrives it comes bearing the gift of financial stability. Financial struggles are passing away and comfort is coming to take its place.

Before I enjoyed the comfort I do now, there was a time when I had to hustle to make ends meet. I was sleeping on a family members couch and doing contract jobs just to pay my bills. There was no end in sight. As the weeks and months dragged on I began to believe that things would never change. But that was a lie. The only constant in life is change. Eventually, I was faced with 2 (well paying) job offers and the opportunity to move into my own space. The journey wasn’t easy. At times I was discouraged and uninspired.

Suddenly, abundance began to fall at my feet. I finally had the money needed to upgrade my situation. Now, like the king, I am confident in my ability to create wealth at a moments notice. And even if by some chance I lose it all, I know that my wealth is within. We all carry wealth within our being. We will never truly be without it.

What are you seeking?

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!

The Hermit-What are you seeking?

We all, at some point in our existence, will go in a direction that carries us away from the beaten path. We will go off alone seeking seclusion in search of something bigger than ourselves. I don’t know about you but this is exactly what I am experiencing at the moment. I find myself seeking solitude so that I may review the past, my thoughts and everything in between. I stand in review of what has transpired in my life so that I will know how to proceed. I review past behaviors, sifting out those which are counterproductive to my well being. This is a period of review. The hermit, an elder, stands at the top of a peak. With a staff in one hand and a torch in the other. He is alone and appears to be in deep contemplation. He looks as if he is waiting for something, in search of something. The night sky is lit by stars. This is a period of illumination. The torch and the stars light the way forward.

The figure proceeds unafraid of what he will find on the journey. What are you seeking at this time? Are you taking time out to reflect? Venture out alone and connect with the truth of your being.
