—all white people on a spiritual journey is to begin with the question: how am I a danger to others on this journey?
Sound scary? Won't be if you're not hiding anything from you. (2/2)

White "americans" are so used to weaponizing our spirituality, and having spirituality weaponized against us, that we are completely desensitized to the damage we cause in spiritual spaces. So much so that I think the first mission of—(1/2) #witchsky #tarotskt #reiki #healing #spirituality

Yesssss to that. Yesssssss. 💯

Oh yay!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Sticks, stones, and bypassing: avoiding harm in spiritual and healing spaces (special post) ​NOTE: this is a piece I wrote for a Reiki mag. As expected, it wasn’t for them. They didn’t reject it; merely called it “low vibration,” because it focuses on what people are doing wrong....

Wrote this for a reiki mag, who found it too “low vibe.” Hurtful. But I knew it would go that way. Still important. Sharing on my blog. #spiritualbypassing #bypassing #healer #heal #tarot #witch

LESSON 47: A YEAR GONE? WHAT’S NEXT . . . This is my second attempt at writing this—I haven’t done a post in a couple weeks, I think, thanks to life and naps and whatnot. I had two new decks sitting around that I’ve been meaning to...

A years come and gone since I started this blog. And it might be time to wind it down. But then it might also be time to introduce a new generation of tarot writers to anyone who wants to click on the damn thing.. #tarot #tarottalk #tarotsky #blog

A thing you may not know about me is that I don’t think #CardMagic is nerdy; I think it’s sexy AF. There’s a gorgeous athleticism to card #magicians ‘ hands that makes me wish I were a deck of cards. 🤣 Anyway, as a tarot reader, cards in general delight me. youtu.be/Ybexh8osteU?...

What they taught you to hate about yourself is how you beat them.

what can that part of you teach you about your magic? You’re quick to react and feel. What benefits could that have for yourself and others? and see where these things can help you.

The older I get the more I think the things we hate about ourselves is where our magic lies. You hate it because the Christo-colonial powers want you to be divorced from the magic. So then the antitiode is—

Fill the lamps well with reflect items and an intention paper and lamp oil—non toxic—and set that in the mirror box. (Use glass mirrors in that case.) #spell #witch #iceicebaby #witchcraftispolitical

You might also use mirror chips (used in crafts and flower arranging), and reflective/moony herbs. I made a return to sender oil using olive oil, jojoba, basil, mirror chips, a mirror charm, hyssop, and wormwood. Let it steep (I use an oil infuser for my oils but that’s only because I’m a gadget

Suppose there’s an icy 🥶 institution you want to work on. Return to sender with a mirror box candle. You need cheap craft mirrors and duct tape and white or sliver candle (reflective)…::: #witch #witchcraftispolitical #spell #hex

I need a bisexual to explain how bi-monthly means both twice a month and every other month. Only bisexuals can understand such things.

Being a truth-teller does not mean you're always right.
It means you're willing to say difficult, unpopular things out loud without being cowed by consequences.
Being kind is not being nice.
Withholding the truth is nice; telling the truth is kind.

Then we will guide me to the question that the next 3 cards answer and once I feel like I’ve been guided to the question, we will remove the face up cards and turn over the next three and read those for this new question. We will do this until I run out of questions/cards.
