Offerings: wear expensive stuff, offer them to wear your expensive jewelry, rose, gold, frankincense, blood, sex, masturbation, ritual baths, food, receipts, finance related notes/records, wine, poetry/writing/freestyling, giveaways, yoga, pampering, massages.

Experiences: Majority of experiences came in the form of financial success. Visions. Ideas. One night I was partying and throwing down some verses for Belial. I was super tired, closed my eyes and saw Belial for the very first time. I saw a beautiful blonde-haired angel sitting on a flaming chariot. His whole existence bursted into flames and I freaked out a little visually. I opened my eyes only to discover how damn disoriented and confused I was. 

Ways working has improved life: Pure. Financial. Success. I am making way more than I have ever done before working with spirits. Years ago, my financial fatelines were cockblocked with miasmic energies, causing me to be broke a lot, have stagnant business, lack of reliable retail jobs, and just over all bad luck financially. Working with Belial made me realize I need to be my own boss and live off of what I LOVE to do. He has encouraged me to work with other artists and visionaries, do giveaways, promote myself more, and take care of myself more. He has encouraged me to unleash the beast within me and to not be afraid to ride it and whip it to ground zero. Belial has pushed me to lead and always be on top. 

Hazards: Belial can make you go broke if he doesn’t like you. He is rutheless, sassy, expensive, snobby, and a bit of an elitist, like myself, which is why we get along so great. Don’t work with him if you aren’t willing to pamper yourself and pretty much spoil the shit out of yourself. He isn’t completely honest right off the bat, you kind of have to earn his powers thru tests of trial and error. For the longest, I was made to believe that I needed to control the very person I felt was my enemy (((my father))) and to get as much out of him as possible. After the financial crunch my dad put me in, a lot of things happened after that and some blood was shed. From that point forward Belial was more truthful to me and shoved it in my face that I need to be more damn independent and rely on nobody that has disrespected me many times. Belial doesn’t want me to put up with or tolerate disrespectful people. With time coming from your heart and mind, you have to make it clear of things you want to avoid. Let him see the real you. Program your auras to let him in, but also program your aura to shock him if he tries to do any weird moves on you.  Make rules with him. Don’t be afraid to set your limits, as he will treat you like a pushover if you don’t set yourself straight. His presence can be overpowering at times, especially during ritual baths. Belial has never fucked me over and would like to keep it that way. I’ve been caught in financial bullshit before and I’ve done more working with him to help me out of this funk with the favors of friends and customers. 

Other: I spend hundreds on clothes and jewelry because I like nice things and I am just too expensive for peasants.  He loves anything fancy, and goes CRAZY over the smell of roses above all else. He will reward you like the king/queen you view yourself to be with ruling favors from friends and foes alike. 

3 goetics showed up in my dream many moons ago stating that they are going to show up in my life in the form of people I attract, events, and circumstances. I am assuming one of them was Belial, because damn they sure the fuck showed themselves into my life in those exact circumstances. The devil ALWAYS ALWAYS shows up in all of my tarot card readings so it is a sure sign that their workings are really taking effect.

Belial can be any element but he resides with earth element, which coincides with making life on earth more tolerable, if not magical. 

Also, this role is solidly covered in my pantheon and I have someone who is all about the fancy perfumes and jewelry on my altar already. I think I may need to rethink my approach here/my relationship with her... Hustler harder to buy more shiny shit is probably way more motivational for a person like me than trying to get a solid guilt spiral to inspire greater frugality going.

I already live in an obscenely nice apartment. I'VE MADE MY CHOICES.

Thank you, post!

Alice Smeets: The Guetto Tarot

Welcome to the Ghetto Tarot, a project from award-winning documentary photographer Alice Smeets and a group of Haitian artists known as Atis Rezistans. The idea was to take the classic Rider-Waite tarot deck of 78 cards and create a photographic version of each card using settings and objects in the vibrant ghetto of Haiti.

As Smeets says, “The spirit of the Ghetto Tarot project is the inspiration to turn negative into positive while playing. The group of artists ‘Atiz Rezistans’ use trash to create art with their own visions that are a reflection of the beauty they see hidden within the waste. They are claiming the word ‘Ghetto,’ thus freeing themselves of its depreciating undertone and turning it into something beautiful.”
