🧿 Pile 4

Pile 1

Oh, this is a complete change, something you were doing before had to be let go of, or you are simply starting a new position. This can be a manifestation, but in reality, its acompletely new start for your life. There is an opportunity being handed to you here. It's going to require you to take a leap of faith and say yes. There is financial stability in this new position or job, and you will be able to have autonomy over your direction at this time. Invest in yourself wisely, pay attention to what is next for you. You will have a higher position here, one you possibly took over from someone else. I did sense that some people around you will feel very entitled or even jealous about your journey. It's giving "how did they do that?", " When could they afford?" Don't pay it any mind; this chance came from your work and conception. You are receiving the fruits of your labor. Be mindful of your self-development journey and make adjustments internally to the changes you are going after. Be mindful of your money mindset, environment, and habits. Think about how you are serving your goals and purpose. But overall, this is delightful energy of new, fresh abundance settling into your life. Anecstrally, it seems to be protected and aided through ancestors who walk with you. Guidance comes from them to help you discern which direction is harmful and which one is abundant.

Pile 2

Just know you got it. That promotion, the victory, the promise of abundance is yours. A lot of people around you want this chance; you may have dealt with gossipers and naysayers. I think people are confused about how you keep getting back up and improving. It gives the impression that someone will be very upset that you have this chance to upgrade. I see success in general in this next phase, but emotionally, you may be so preoccupied that you can't enjoy the moment. It's important to lean into your discipline and discernment. But also take care of yourself, whatever conflicts come about or changes that illuminate self-doubt, reflect on how those parts of yourself don't serve or deserve to take up space where your new energy belongs. It's time to move on in the midst of this, but this transition isn't new; you're in the process of succeeding and gaining peace. You seem to still see the bright side, but it's important to tend to yourself because it's still a process of tension; make sure you release. This could be a competition as well, or a position that is chosen from a small group of auditions or people. Consider yourself lucky because I see what you're working on, leading to another opportunity. Their guidance here is to work on your skills and mindset moving through this energy of transition.

Extended

Pile 3

You seem to have a lot going on, but also not a lot of movement. I think this pile could be looking or preparing for the job that they want, one that's more fulfilling and secure. There is a focus on stability here. You need to regroup so that you're not carrying an energy of lack and closing yourself off from possibilities. You're being asked to regulate your life overall to match the energy you want to receive. Healing and peace are here or on their way. Some of you are focused on this right now while preparing your next steps. You could work with someone whom you're confiding in as well; this feels like someone who wants to support your best interests. I'd say if this had happened, don't be afraid to allow help from people around you, ones that are for your highest good, of course. There is an energy of a slight pause and reflection; you are calibrating your energy at this time for renewal. I think there is an energy of spiritual refreshing, like a cleansing energy. You may need to refresh your perspective; you shouldn't move forward in the same way. 8 of cups at the back of the deck tells me that you either are leaving soMething personally or the job you are at currently. A lot of these cards have their eyes closed, except the five of pentacles. Make sure your focus isn't solely on finances for the sake of making money; you're not Mr. Crabs. It won't require excessive focus on status or finances right now. This is more about exploring the energy of abundance and peace. choosing what makes you happy, not choosing money as the source of your happiness based on lack. You need to meditate on what it is you would like to go after. I think investing in some silence and peace, things that may be outside of work and your comfort zone. These things will help your energy calm down and give you peace of mind.

Extended

Pile 4

This is a big change for you. I heard I'm coming out, and the 6 of swords flew. Are you ready to get away from somewhere? moving on to better. I see that being the energy you are calling in, a chance to start fresh and find what you're really looking for. I do feel more of a business in this pile; some of you here could own your own business or look towards a position of stability and good pay for sure. I see you making good money from this next venture. You're choosing yourself for sure, almost radically. This could be something in defiance of those around you in personal life or work. Your support system can change, and not in the best way. I see inner turmoil and endings here. You could quit or choose a path that will ultimately release someone's energy from your path. You could also feel a bit slighted by those around you; this feels emotional, not necessarily confrontational. An ending here is inevitable; start planning and planting seeds on the path you truly want for yourself. You still will be getting something of value before this ending settles in; it could be an offer that leads you elsewhere. It could involve how what you want will take you into unknown territory. It seems like what you're doing is a bit isolated, secretive even. You could be coming up with a strategy to improve your circumstances. The important message here is to keep your head. Follow your intuition into this new path, knowing the unexpected is to be expected, just not the way you think. This will require trust in your higher power. You could also lose a couple of people on the wya there. It's also giving that you may have to cut people off because this new energy will reveal the snake sint he gras. You will notice that there could be energies around you trying to damage your chance or happiness. Be careful of telling every single thing, especially before its confrimed. Move in silence and play the game. Work on keeping your eye directly on the prize. Don't allow vulnerability to turn into cracks in the foundation.

THE END.

When you wish upon a star...

I wanted to do this reading because I have major things I'm trying to manifest. I work on my life every day, and at times I always ask the spirit to assure me that it's possible. That lesson has been an enriching experience towards fulfillment and truth.

1-4 Left to Right

P1

YES.

It's possible, but there is a transition needed and much more maturing of the idea of what you want. This requires a lot more action from you, not blunt but strategic. There are things that you're going to need to move away from to make this fully happen. I see a planning period, if this is something like an upgrade or self-development plan. It's time to put things like health and wellness into action. I do see some healing for this pile as well, nothing major, but more of a maturing. So yes, it's possible for you, very possible. It just requires more of your time and attention.

Extended - WHAT'S NEXT, ADVICE

P2

NO

I'll tell you why. Cutting your losses in this situation would be better. You've got too many people involved in this chaos, and it's going to end in more trouble than it's worth. You've already invested, or one of the energies here is feeling picky because it's waiting for something more fulfilling to come into your life. You have a lot better on the outside of this. Perceived fulfillment, you're working towards a lesson, not completion. It's best to step into reflection at this point to understand what this energy is truly reflecting about the direction you should put your energy in.

Extended - WHAT'S NEXT, ADVICE

P3

YES

Its possible, its more so about whats going to happen after you make it possible. There something hidden here, your up for more than your bargaining for. Its not that this is necessarily bad, its definitely unexpected. This will require you to maintain control and seek more clarity. Not be so codependent on this attachment. I do see the excitement and joy in this revelation but maintain a level head and don't go off the deep end. Things that are hidden will soon come to light, do not give yourself anxiety in regards to your path moving forward. Release old attachment to gain new insight, its in your best interest. There is a golden opportunity for you to grow from this situation immensely. I see more excitement and interest from you in regards to trying to understand your life, your problems and what you have to offer yourself moving forward. The key is decisiveness, have some patience and don't make an impulsive decisions because of this. This is less about emotions and more about maturing for spiritual growth, with that comes emotional intelligence. Knowing that what is yours is yours, it will never miss you.

Extended - WHAT'S NEXT, ADVICE

P4

YES

A thousand times, yes, it's very much possible. I don't think that is the question. Your problem lies with codependency on the outcome and overflow of emotions. Make sure your thoughts don't become your trap. Move through this with clarity and focus. Your emotions are important, but your mind needs to be sharp. You need to engage with this healthily. Focus on your value and discipline; what matters is what matters, and that's it. Take time for yourself. You already have a strong intuition; focus on that understanding and move on without worry. Don't attract conflict by looking for problems, don't go blabbing and getting yourself involved with messy and/or chaotic people. Follow the discerning path in this situation, remain out of any bullshit, I repeat, stay out of any bull. I see a lot of success and feel really good, maybe too good. That's why you want to make use of this energy, not just sitting in how it makes you feel, focus on applying yourself, or even preparing yourself, depending on what it is you're asking about. Remain composed and centered

This is a reading about what’s next on your path. My entire page is adults only so please respect those boundary’s and consider it a warning. To start this reading off please take a cleansing breath. Focus on a pile below and choose your message. The order is 1 is below and the picture underneath is the next pile.

Now that we have taken the time to choose please understand this is a general not personal reading. This is for general guidance on your path and serious consideration should be confirmed by a personal reading. Thank you. Use your discernment wisely 🧿.

Pile 1

What you need to hear about your new path - Mother of Sticks, Three of Baskets, Father of Baskets, Father of Knives.

Spiral of madness is what I heard, I wonder if some of you have been overthinking more than enjoying the moment. What needs to be said about your next path is trust. You should have faith and trust in yourself over your fears. I see you having 2-3 people in your energy who hold some weight on this next part of your journey. This could be family, friends, destiny helpers but whoever these energies are that offer assistance, knowledge and support let them. You have an opportunity here in many different aspects of your life, the theme is happiness and elevation here. This is a time to focus on what also matters and brings you joy, there is no room for negative thoughts or behaviors on this next path. This may even be your energy that needs more fluidity and acceptance of change. Knowing how to use different parts of yourself to your benefit. Like your knowledge to get you further in career, your looks and personality to make connection or even your wealth and abundance to establish emotional stability. I know that was many different examples but thats the point whatever is the solution comes from within you even if its inspired by things around you.

What developments are you cultivating along this new path - Mother of Sticks, Big Mama (The Sun), Father of Baskets, Father of Knives, Son of Knives, Strength, Ace of Sticks, 888,8, 5, 10, 19, 555

I love this for you. You also got some of the same cards from before which is a great reassurance from spirit that you will exactly who you want to be in this next part of your journey. Whether feminine energy or masculine energy predominately or fluidly you are about to be seen. You may feel like you are being adored by suitors especially masculines. You will be cultivating such a strong go getter energy, the Emperor wanted to pop out as well and this development feels like a stage in self mastery. You are becoming a more whole individual. You are becoming the version of you that receives your abundance in full no stagnancy.

You are learning how to hold your own, you are learning an acute discipling to achieve your goals. The Ace of Pentacles also made an appearance at the bottom of the deck. Spirit also is telling me your are moving into new opportunities that challenge and excite you. Whatever you prayed for is now showing up at the dock waiting for pickup and I see you showing up on time ready to load each cent, relationship, opportunity. Some of you have ancestors that are helping pus and guide you towards the write moment that will take you to the next stage. I think you will have alot more self control and stability. If this pile suffered from codependence or lack in terms of connections and self esteem, I see that changing.

This pile has an amazing moment coming from an abundant blessing, one that isn't just going to manifest and leave as a memory. It will be the gift that keeps on giving. You will learn also how to maintain the wisdom and protection over this new blessing ion this next path. Your friends and environment may take the hit. People will age out of this new path and may even feel jaded by your success but thats why your being called to focus and prepare. Emotionally, Physically and Mentally.

Advice - Standstill, Thunder, 56,52,7, 11

Sit your ass down and wait for the call to action.

Learn the art of letting go and moving on, in a way where you experience emotions and deal with the impact and in the end release. This is a symbol of pausing, taking the time to meditate on the stillness and present moment rather than chasing for a ungrounded future. if you are unsure or scrambling for a sign be still and allow the signs to come to you in your calm energy. There will be benefits of this temporary non-action. In the book it says "Constant action isn't going to get you where you want to go, perhaps its time to gather more information or just wait until the universe makes the next move". Understand that uncomfortable moments and periods are truly orchestrated in your favor. There is something about to strike in your life an spirit wants you to have the intuition to pinpoint when the thunder while sound. Spirit is warning you of the beauty in dramatic moments/reveals. Take yourself out of the driver seat for this occasion and let the most high bless you. Allow the thrill to show you eccentric possibilities. Your destiny is coming thats not light work- be prepared for anything and be in flow with the tides no matter the push and pull, your dreams/goals/destiny is worth it

Pile 2

What you need to hear about your new path - The Garden (The World), Nine of Coins, Ace of Baskets, Ace of Sticks, Ten of Sticks, 21, 12, 3, 1, 9, 10.

Don't be afraid to wait patiently for your flow, something is taking its time in your life. It could be that you have been working on this for a while. whatever it is spirit is asking you on this next path to engage with the energy of patience like the blessings are out for delivery but set for a specific time of arrival, one you don't know of. Let your ancestors and spirt guides do the heavy lifting, the things out fo your control are not important thoughts to ruminate on. Allow the blessings to flow in its own direction.

On this next path a good amount of your investments from the last couple months will be setting into to fruitful components of your life. Some of you have had alot of setbacks and changes, couple friends that never lasted and family who didn't feel like it. You became self sufficient and you had goals for yourself. Planning is now become action. This next path is all about your fulfillment and enjoyment, delving into the fruits of your own labor.

I do see new love manifesting, your aligning yourself with alot of ideal energy for yourself. This is a section of life that becomes the gift that keeps on giving. Some her started a business or will be a vital part of a business, a promotion and new title will be int he cards for this next path. I see a change in environment overall, Some of you will move or get the opportunity to move workplaces. All in all you are manifesting alot of invigorating opportunities. Your sex life, your work life, and even your love life here. Don't forget while all this energy is changing the tides for you to focus on yourself when needed, take your breaks from time to time. And don't forget the vital routines that led you to the place you were today, some of you are becoming more health conscious but that also doesn't mean go overboard. Just make sure with all this responsibilities that your taking the time to balance all your new experiences.

What developments are you cultivating along this new path - Six of Knives, The Big House (Tower), Two of Knives, Six of Baskets, Nine of Sticks, Miss Ida (High Priestess), 16, 7, 6, 666,9, 222

This pile may very well be moving physically, either overseas or to a new area that shockingly may or may not be in the cards at this exact moment. You also could be moving away from chaos or getting saved in the knick of time. There could be someone that may feel anxious about your new elevation, it may be time to cut certain people off or lessen their proximity to your nee abundance, good idea btw. You may also be finding that alot of people connected to the old version of you are getting blocked, you will notice how others ponder deeper about what you have going on under the surface. This may throw you off or become a source of tension. make sure you work on and display your boundaries proudly.

You'll have some restored harmony in your energy but still struggle with some habits being fed by work ethic and survival mode, take the time to do some introspective shadow work for your path moving forward. Some small changes may be necessary for you to continue to thrive moving forward. You are gonna have a spiritual awakening in regards to intuition and patience, blessings will come of course but the real transformation is in the preparations and wisdom to maintain said blessings. This about you counting your blessings and organizing your investments, this not the time to allow fear to be bigger than faith. You will grow stronger and have a very stable foundation fro trust with the universe. You may also be connecting with a higher power, and/or an important spirit guide. Recognize the abundance you have now and cultivate them carefully for this next path. You are also spiritually maturing, there is some development that will leave you feeling closer to your spirituality.

Advice - Ghost Dance, Serpent, The Witness, The Child, 22,4 ,10 ,46 , 64, 7

Honoring Ancestors, There connection to this pile is hugely important. They ask you to receive their lessons and wisdom with a grateful acceptance. Allow their words of wisdom to flow into your heart and guide you. Don't take the past or trauma into your connection with your folks allow them to come in and give you a better example if you need the extra push. They want a sacred moment of your time, they want you to receive a message of healing and powerful medicine. If you do not have a routine spiritual practice to use as a medium, sit in a space thats most comfortable. And sit for 30 minutes meditating this could be listening to music, subliminals, or youtube meditation frequencies and learn the art of energy. Be intentional with connecting with spiritual guides and ancestors that walk with you in highest good. Ground of course with your higher power (God, Universe). The advice is to allow this journey to shed the old skin and offer you new fruits to set a new passion ablaze. Embrace mystery and flow on this journey. Trust the beauty of manifestation, allow it to show you its awakenings without fear. Look at all attachments and find whats serves you and release what don't.

Allow the universe to bring you the help and allow people who the universe brings to be your destiny helper but do so with intent and discernment. Get out of your own way and allow spirit to change reality for you. This will happen by finding stillness and letting your true intent reveal itself. The Child, "Is here to release you from the habit of being yourself, and to help you acquire a beginner's mind so that Connect back with your inner child also, allow the second innocence bring a second chance. Remain open to learning and discovery".

Pile 3

What you need to hear about your new path - Dr. Buzzard (Justice), Dr. Grant (Hermit), Eight of Sticks, Courting (Lovers), Father of Sticks, Five of Knives, 11, 2, 9, 15, 555

Something is balancing out, You may have just had some relationship, court case, or experience that made you more solitary and introspective. This could also be an indicator of karma being dished out around you. Your being called to take the time to understand yourself, you may also need to go out in nature and ground yourself physically. Your focused right now on things becoming normal again. Your about to be put in a position to make some choices about the next steps of your life. I see you getting alot of messages on a platform possibly but beyond that your going to be changing around your look or somethings gonna be intriguing about your energy and its gonna want to make people talk to you and talk about you.

You're gonna learn how to get shit moving in your life. Your sense of independence and authority will strengthen in this next phase. You might be in your head or very short with others. Try to be mindful of your thoughts and how they affect your day to day. The goal of the game is balance. You have some important decisions to make regarding the way you present yourself to the world. Deciding what to release and what to maintain, some people may speak up and try to do that for you. The point is to remember that your path is only one you can walk, allowing anyones opinions or validation to get in the way of doing that authentically. Stay focused and energetic about whats for you because its exciting. Don't forget to live a little and take a detour of fun occasionally. Life isn't meant to be so boring and mundane. Be a little adventurous this go around and watch where it takes you, don't move in fear. P-ick up a hobby and be productive with your energy, don't get into fights or tense energy regarding proving yourself or battling others.

What developments are you cultivating along this new path - Railroad Bill (Chariot), Daughter of Coins, Ten of Sticks, Seven of Sticks, Two of Coins, Aunt Caroline (Wheel of Fortune), 777, 2, 10, 7, 1010

Your filling out your shoes, your aligned and moving forward and your learning every step of the way. Your learning how to make things happen, your gathering the will to make a way. Your learning to maintain your mundane to ground your peace. You are becoming the host of the party, your becoming more of a joy and a nice smile rather than a rigid, fearful worker-bee. I see that this pile has been and continues to work really hard to achieve great things and have stability in your life, I see your getting more ways to make that a more fuller reality. Because your already started and your doing amazing, your now elevating into a more refined version of yourself outside of survival mode. Your tides are changing. Your going to find relief with your workload, your position or place whether workplace, home or project after you stand your ground and adapt. Your not going to be brought down by anything so its important along this next developing stages of your life that you maintain yourself. Rest where you need to and honor your mental when you need to stop. The key to making these changing coming towards you easier is adaptability and compromise. Know that your fate and destiny is being molded on the other side in ways that aren't really shown to your physical eyes, this is a time of faith and perseverance. You guarantee improvement by finding strength in adversity. I keep hearing cassie's song, "but you got a long way to go", lots of messages from that - you will have a spark in your confidence leaving you feeling very sure of yourself, lean into that. More boundaries and authority for you, and you'll definitely be able to glow up in energy more so your aura. Another part of you is working on some long term goal or project and that is just now beginning to lay its foundations that result will come from fate so allow the universe to show you a miracle and maintain yourself. Goodluck! not that you need it your doing amazing.

Advice - The Rainbow, The Holy Mountain, 41, 25, 5, 7,

Know that all is well and you are aligning closely with your spiritual energy and physical energy. Many things require balance from you as you move forward, try to have a deep grounding in know all will be well. The end of the storm is near, hope is required in order to take the next step. Don't give up on yourself or anything you ave been working on for your highest good. Don't claim victory yet or let your guard down fully. You may need to go to the ocean or mountain, a natural place of power/energy where you can ground and release.

Try transmutation on every level, if you are spiritual in practice transmutation rituals and workings. Try to replace bad habits with new ones, and exercise in place of smoking, journaling and shadow work instead of spiraling and victim mentality, creative outlets instead of destructive outlets. Make a commitment to walk in courage, love and compassion until you see with clarity the perfection of all. Accept the situation your in as a higher calling for understanding.

I've noticed a lot of crazy mess in the name of knowledge and so-called gifts. I am here to burst many bubbles and reveal many truths. Not only am I sharing my opinion, but this is mainly to address the dangerous, unethical spirituality that people claim is actual spiritual practice. Gifts, when a lot of people have NO POWER, NO REAL IMPACT OR PURPOSE, just chaotic wannabe spiritual madness. Many confused people think they are God's gift to earth because of foresight when you live like a demon ☺️.

Please don’t take what resonates and leave the rest. These are more my experience and perspective. This may or may not reflect stages in your journey or trigger emotions long lost, still, a lot of these are shadow work needed in the community. You are responsible for your understanding; proceed with care.

✨If you are a Kpop tarot reader, and you do readings like what this person's s*xual this and that or you cultivate readings around crossing boundaries into rumors you know damn well you have NO BUSINESS stepping your gifts into. Your ancestors and spirits, nor your destiny, were cultivated for you to be under someone else's. Half, if not most of y'all, aren't even genuine spiritualists to reading into randoms or people you'll never cross paths with. You are feeding energies you don't even understand. Stop thinking you're chosen and get your head checked.

✨I'm not done with the Kpop readers….a lot of y'all are so far out of line you're going to need a straitjacket or religion by the time this karma catches up with you. NO…no one's higher self is talking to you. YOU ARE A LIAR. You are a stan amongst millions already unethically wanting to attach yourselves to a stranger. As someone whose gifts and practice cultivate around past lives and tapping into souls for a living, the majority of y'all were not CALLED for that path, let alone to do it for people you're parasocial with. Now I'm not condemning readings of that kind, I am condemning fake spiritualists and so-called readers using talented gifts like magician showrooms for idol tea, tf are you doing and charging people for 😑…. you're not even a real diviner or spiritualist….

✨SOOOO not done yet lol, Nobody's higher self and do mean NOBODIES higher self is reaching out to you for you to do tumblr readings and charge people to know if that person you also are parasocial with is their husband or would date them. You are using your gift to lie and attach yourself to someone who gets stalked and projected onto in massive numbers daily, then you go lying delusionally that these idols' higher self happens to WANT to give you the tea to spread FOR FREE?!!???! The Korean ancestors whose culture you barely know and respect went all the way overseas to Tumblr to a f-cking fan……🫠 How are you any better than a fucking Sasaeng? You have some nerve taking advantage of your own and others' mental issues and attachment styles to gain clout of a supposed "spiritual gift" you are ass backwards, and you are a bona fide TEA BLOG. You're fucking weird and just because you read cares doesn't make you ethical or truly gifted, nor does that mean your gifts should be cultivated that way, period………

✨Stop asking about people you will never cross paths with in business, focus on healing so you can actually find your destiny spouse. You don't even travel or do music, stop looking at others' blessings, trying to find your own, that's the energy of being pathetic after a while.

✨How are you a reader with no spiritual hygiene, doing collective readings and charging for services…..? What tf are you doing? Energy is not a game, and you will accumulate attachments and karma (Consequence, Action). Be careful who you're letting read your energy; some of these people don't even heal or do shadow work. Please reevaluate the things and people you're letting guide you.

✨Many people do astrology like reading a book; that is a spiritual practice of reading people's energies from past lives and their destiny. It may just be that serious friend….I truly believe this is why some readings are just like plugging your chart into Astroseek, and others are like channeling into who you are and what you need.

✨I dislike astrologers who act like the way they read is the way you must understand. That's it. That's the sentence…..

✨If your spirituality is anger and critique and what other people do, you're practicing ego. Congratulations on your dissension!

✨Without Cleansing & Protection, you will never go past a gift and projected beliefs.

✨They can't destiny swap with you; they can get all your problems and attempt to be the distorted version of you that they can openly physically see. Your destiny, if you truly claim it and it's meant to reach something, will never be changed.

✨Hoodoo is a closed practice; being black doesn't mean you can practice, nor being African American. It can be in your line, and you're not called, get a confirmation from an elder. I do mean, if not ADOS, stop pushing it. This practice is bloodline/lineage-based magic in many parts of the practice.

✨An elder is not of physical age but spiritual wisdom. Yet some wisdom can only be developed through time and growing older.

This is a reading about Blessings & Developments. My entire page is adults only so please respect those boundary’s and consider it a warning. To start this reading off please take a cleansing breath. Focus on a pile below and choose your message.

Tip Jar | Paid Services Masterlist | Donations of support to $MELANINFURY

Now that we have taken the time to choose please understand this is a general not personal reading. This is for general guidance on your path and serious consideration should be confirmed by a personal reading. Thank you. Use your discernment wisely 🧿.

Pile 1 BLESSINGS - Two of Sticks, Seven of Baskets, Three of Baskets. DEVELOPMENTS - Black Herman (Magician), Daughter of Knives, Three of Coins, Mother of Coins.

CALL ME, BEEP ME

Yes I did hear the beeps and the “I’m your basic average girl and I’m here to save the world, I’m Kim possible” lmao I love the way spirit communicates because I can here with a message that everything you dream of is possible. Something particular you’ve been manifesting on this path is about to show up and take you from basic to premium subscription if you catch my drift. Your taking charge. Your becoming fearless, your leaning into your sun - show your shine unapologetically. Your next development is self mastery, improvement, skill building, ambition and independence.

Your going yo have quite the manifestation pull this next month or two, you may have gemini, leo or cancer placements - these transits have planets like Venus (elevation, beauty, desires), Uranus (innovation, quirkiness, independence in group settings/community), Jupiter (abundance, expansion, optimism). Regardless you are having alot of downloads and intuitive nudges about what direction is best. This isn't something others around you get much or understand how you do your thing on your own. I see you surprising yourself and people around you with your upgrades, innovativeness and cultivation of abundance. Your very intuitive and you'll be guided by your higher power and spirits quite closely but your the one with your hands on the steering wheel. Your planting seeds of practical and consistent income also. Your gonna also be able to rest and establish routine and boundaries, I could see how you may struggle with this new energy interns off fear or shock, yes it happening yes that fast - yes your a master manifestor lol. Your very stable in this new stage, your developing a very grounded and expansive energy. Your gonna spread your wings and fly pile 3.

Your blessings include a huge internal expansion. I wonder if this pile has some jupiter/sag influence. Your energy feels like its about to journey across the sky. You have some great plans and ideas that bring you closer to being a visionary than you think. You have a very reflective trailblazing energy. You internalize experiences than find ways to take your critiques and reflections to growth and improvements.

POSITIONS

To say your developing would be an understatement. You have a new foundation in a good amount of areas of your life. Your blessings are bountiful and they are very strategized towards some goal or multiple goals that you’ve worked on. This could be you being fresh out of college or right after a move, either way your in a fresh new youthful like energy. Its possible that your flourishing after a period of issues and setback so this new energy is exciting and a warm welcome. You in perfect alignment with your higher power in waving the paintbrush to display your future.

There is an energy here of you being set up to bulldoze into a completely new horizon. This gives a strong energy of a solid yet dream like plan that feels spiritually led. Others around you may not be able to see the internal changes, let alone whats to come. So do not be discouraged by outside noise. You are being asked as these blessings come in to remain grounded and motivated. Its yours trust that so the only question is what you can do in the mean time while the totality of the blessings are manifested. You are in alignment thats not longer a process you chase, chase the bag. Practical life could have upgrades, your routine, home even workplace environment will glow up. Regardless of the process - move forward with strength and confidence. Take the bull by the horns.

I do see where some of you here are starting creative passion projects, platforms. That is such a great development for you. Because its aligned on your destiny path. Its something that enlightens your mind, body and spirit. Some of you here are content creators, something creative I'm getting something non-traditional that people around you family mainly, don't see that value in. As someone with experience in this - its normal. Its not a sign that your in the wrong place or can't achieve your success. It by no means is going to be easy. But the journey to mastering yourself is not paved with others validation.

Some of you will actually be getting a new position, it could definitely be at a job or for a career. I see you being chosen and seen for something you do well. Don not forget to plan to continue securing your life and position. You are elevating so new heights comes new territory. There is a need for discipline. You are improving and becoming more well rounded. You may have taken others spot or attracted green eyes - up your protection. Some of you are already in a defensive energy. Be sure not to overdo it, and stay calm knowing its already yours.

MILLION DOLLAR BABY

I think its also something you've been struggling with and working towards for a while. You gonna receive some information or critical news that's going to bring some great joy into your life. This feels like you finally going to get a yes or go towards something. There could be someone of you who live a life or want a career in the public eye. Your gonna be very popular. If you want that.

Some of y'all are about to find a sugar wallet. You could also just receive alot of help, money or guilt s from people who like you and want to be around you also. You are gonna feel a little peacocked and cautious. Which is a good thing and its warranted. You have wish fulfillment type of blessings and way more than one coming into your life. You elevating to a degree that the change is irreversible.

This feel almost like a spiritual download. Some of you are going to awaken your intuition to a degree - your going to get a dream, download or vision about a step you need to move forward and achieve victory. You do havce an ancestor, a grandmother like energy that will help guide and bring wisdom towards the next steps you'll take. That insight is going to be invaluable. It's going to be the push you need to go claim your glory. For a good amount of you her its in the spotlight or in a community where eyes are on you. You receiving your breakthrough , congratulations.

There is a master and development that comes with the developments to your blessings. Some of you will be added by some powerful this could be another ancestor or a authority figure who is going to guide you away from people, places and things that do not serve you. There is an energy here of enemies that are going to try to get in you head and throw you off your game. This is why I think some of you are involved in the industry its a familiar to the music industry. Like some of you here could be scouted or signed, promoted in a way to a position that makes you be seen in the spotlight, some of you have platforms thats your running where you teach or set example for others. I do get an energy where some of you are getting so much insight on how to defeat a challenge or person that may be in the way of what your trying to achieve through your blessings. Your learning ways to protect yourself from danger, evil and people who don't have your best interest at heart., Your learning how to stand alone in your own authority without seeking out others to stand in your place. You are finding your own power to weld.

Piles are listed below, numbered 1-4.

Pile 1

You are about to find out the effect of your decision(s). The revelation is all about initiation. You have been starting something, thinking, putting time towards a bigger goal. For some of you, this is an idea or ideology surrounding life. What I mean by that is you are taking a bigger initiative, you are choosing your own path, and learning that those risks create promise. Where this is about the home and family, the image you want for your future differs from your past foundation. There is an energy of the storm being over in this pile. You're done being left behind on the journey to what is deserved; you're claiming your freedom, even if it still feels like the flowers are being watered at this time. This truth is a reflection of the investments you've made up until this point. I also think this will bring about some deeper introspection about how you choose what serves you and what doesn't. You have earned the right to be more focused on the bigger picture rather than the little details; you already have your head on right. There is no need for you to judge yourself without cause. The truth is, you've done well, really well for yourself.  The drive that you put forth can transform now into a new purpose, no more survival, be prepared to thrive. There is a divine opportunity here; you have been heard in your request, so abundance will be brought to you. Let the abundance flow into your life in every way, without expecting some big bomb of treasures from the sky. Watch the magic unfold before your eyes in miraculous ways.

Pile 2

No happy home is broken... Teach me how to love, show me the way to surrender my heart. Girl, I'm so lost. Teach me how to love... I channeled this song message (Musiq Soulchild - teachme), and I got the energy of this pile, learning the truth about what love and happiness mean. This journey started in something that was fractured. For some, this goes back to their parent and theirs, but for some, this is about the idea of happiness and family you've been chasing all this time. The feeling you've been trying to use to bury all that hurt in your chest, the feeling of loneliness. You had no choice but to be strong. So this time, your truth comes as a revelation to heal, heal the wound of abandonment, and never give up your heart to the cold. How is that the answer to the love you asked for? It's the path to yourself that ultimately leads to love. You don't know, and part of that has led you down so many rabbit holes trying to find a conclusion. How about a solution? Be free in your heart and give your mind a break. No more false promises to freedom, then choosing someone else. All roads come from you and through you. Now what?  Your truth is something that's deep inside, and even once I tell you it's your heart, I'm not sure if you agree. This journey has been so cerebral that the idea of a heart you put so much time chasing being right there waiting on you feels absurd; it's not that it's just patient like love is. That's why you must learn to love yourself and learn what you love needs to manifest another's love for you. Why? Because it starts with you. This is no punishment or hindrance; it's a promise to your prayer, an answer to your pain. It is a solution, surrender to the idea that you may not have got it all wrong, but you're still searching for what's right within yourself. No more judging the outside world as if it's the problem, cause it's easy to see, look at what's difficult in the mirror and decide who you want to be.

Pile 3

Key word this is not about a man this is about me..... This pile's truth is about commitments; you are in the midst of a perfect storm, take heed before you lose your head. You're attached to so many of the things at this time, most importantly, this is about the perception you have about the things you manifest. You are surrounded by fake people and others that show love and adoration with ulterior motives; it's about time you see through the rose colored glasses broken.  You have been warned, and you did not listen, so now things are about to show up in a new way; this time, you will be stopped. Whatever isn't serving you will be brought to an end; all these things around you bringing this frequency of chaos will be leaving your life. There is about to be a tower point in your life following this truth that is unavoidable; it's best to face the music at this time. This situation involves your past or a behavior stemming from childhood on. It's a trigger that brings something almost naive within you; you have been trying to make sense of it all with no real tools. nits time to regulate your emotions and get your life together at this time. You're being called because you've suffered in silence in many ways. This is not a pain that can just be carried without being addressed; your soul is crying at this point to choose to acknowledge beyond the showboating of what it didn't give you growing up. Even in a paper bag or at your worst, you deserve the best. Remember that.  The truth is, spirits need you to recalibrate to receive what they have been trying to give you. This is a gentle redirection that you have to look outside of those cracked lenses and look into the light. This is all about you closing out the cycles that keep hurting you. Deep down, it's time for healing.

Pile 4

Cause I'm a creep, I'm a wierdo... You are unapologetically yourself, you are a force to be reckoned with, and that makes a lot of people beyond nervous. It makes them afraid of you. You can and you will, even if the whole world is cheering for your downfall. This sometimes makes people look at you like you're not human because you're not affected like they are. You keep your cards close; typically, when you try to open up, it ends in confusion and chaos. This truth for you is coming from discernment, a lesson to truly see what you attract, despite who you are. Remain authentic because other perception of you is not the truth; it's their abundance of thoughts, nothing more. Your truth is that a lot of people don't know what to do with you, so they just fake it and try, but in the wrong way. Some wear masks, and others hide in the dark. Funny enough, you're not afraid of showing all sides of yourself to the world. Still, through your anxiety, you learn to trust and to see past the agony of truth to enlightenment.  This pile could very well hear about some shit said behind your back or a conflict that you may or may not have been involved you. This kinda gives me the energy of others fighting and your name being brought up, and suddenly everyone is looking at you. Sometimes people get too caught up in their world with you. You'll find out who your real friends and allies are at this time. You'll get some sort of dream or revelation through a vision about something around you, or maybe how you should move in a situation in regards to a connection. This is all about showing you what's the right choice, the one that is aligned with peace and harmony, not destruction and confusion. You'll see more of your star power through this, and capabilities, you're more than a threat to a lot of people because you're qualified to get the job done, no matter the circumstance.

FULL EXTENDED POST ON PATREON.

Moving through life is an experience everyone can relate to. But we all walk different paths, at different weights, from different starts - all in discovery of The Journey. Many of us come from spirituality wrapped into what I like to call ideology and rules - Religion. Its covenant and discipline has kept many of us warm in a cold world. Stepping outside of that lets explore practicing spirituality in a raw form.

I am a Hoodoo Practitioner, Hoodoo is an African American closed ancestral practice - CLOSED PRACTICE will be carelessly taught or displayed. I have made things beginner friendly for everyone ready to flow towards spiritual practice. That being said I work things and learned things traditional and based on my own cultural connections.

The first skills you need to learn on this journey that are vital comes down to three things.

Protection

Cleansing

Self Mastery

Spirituality is mystical and can be fanatical but its a lot more practical and makes sense....Its not common but you need to use that sense in order to protect and ground yourself in any spiritual practice no matter how complex.

SELF MASTERY

We'd be fools if I told you to run to the Botanica and gather supplies without the real meaning of work being highlighted here. I'm sure some of us are familiar with the body being referenced as a beacon, temple or even vessel. Those concepts stem from a even deeper meaning of life - interconnectedness. You are the source and the way any ancestor or message has to come through you. Ive talked about this before, in my SELF post.

"It all starts with SELF. The health and wellness of self. Addressing your trauma, re-raising your self and inner child, being present in your body, accepting and working on weaknesses and flaws, shadow work, most importantly therapy."

You need to know yourself, You need to know what your own energy is - what it feels like. You can't talk about hexes or calling in energy if you cannot decipher. The key to learning and all the answers are truly within you. You experiences even will act as roadmaps to the truth. You most likely have the solution discovered or not. Believe it or not self development requires community and elders. You need to be applying wisdom but taking it in as well. Find elders and don't see limitations, ask your spirits or higher power to reveal the path to some or give you clues to find one. Not everything is gonna be set up the same way

This is so important to be able to accept and receive the enlightenment along the journey. The universe always offers a chance for self mastery, the development starts once you answer the call for greater.

Spiritual working and practice is not a game. This is not a game of go big or go home. Playing even in your own energy can cross yourself up. Take a sobering look at your reality and the spirituality you want to meet that reality. Be very honest because this path cannot be built on lies, even the ones you tell yourself.

DIVINATION - SPIRITUAL INFORMATION GATHERING - COMMUNICATION WITH HIGHER POWER, SPIRITS, ANCESTORS - MESSAGES.

This is the part where you learn your divination skills to communicate with your higher power and spirits. You need to be always walking the journey with your ancestors to learn whats needed for you. Its important to not have a wandering green eye, wait patiently for your turn to do whats necessary. Spiritual Prices must be paid - energy does not come from free and its time to do the self work if you cannot understand that. You are not a superhero and this is not a movie, you gifts are not obligated to you they are blessed. Do not start a transactional relationship with your spirituality - same concept for ancestors.

WHAT YOU GET BACK IS WHAT YOU PUT IN.

People like to gloss over this divination is essential to any one practicing, simply because how the hell are you gonna know what your doing. Come correct to your spirits, do not ask for help with the energy of entitlement. If you half ass it then you wont be able to do what you need to do regardless. Faith without work is dead. For real spiritual movement you cannot fake or bypass putting more than just intention into work especially deeper ones.

DECOLONIZE - DECONSTRUCT - DIVINE

Learn your culture so you can discover your roots. Become lead to your purpose, so that your spirituality is more genuine and tailored. Focus your energy on becoming a student of life because thats what you are. Most of us started this journey by starting over. ]

Learn your spiritual tools - start with the natural ones. Herbs, Cleansing Tools, what's the basics like salt, don't jump into everything because everything isn't for you.

Don't get to much ego trying to do what others do. Don't try to just pick up spiritual practices and tools without guidance.

Know the meaning of faith in your life, find an unmovable energy of hope.

DECOLONIZE - DECONSTRUCT - DIVINE , all are very necessary parts of your journey. In order to stay protected and be prosperous in spirituality you need to open you mind, heart and body to things that may have been stigmatized or even demonized.

You have to move with a knowing unmoved by fear, I personally this week was wrongfully accused of being a witch - I am a spiritualist and in the historical connotation and previous usage of that word on my ancestors. I don't like it at all especially when used in that way. Many people don't want to understand what's different and we are black plus the people who read this too, even if your not we have a place in this world of oppression and privilege - those need to be acknowledged as well.

Notice how at no point yet or so far I am discussing how to petition or work with ancestors. because starting this journey means you start with what you know and you never should just start with ancestors. That is dangerous and deeper game to play. They aren't your toy or yours, they were people and are people just as much on the pother side elevated or not. Their problems and beliefs remain and part of that work is taking on a duty that you must understand within yourself first. For your own protection and safety.

Accept now that spirituality is logical, historical and scientific - your bullshit can be planted with the flowers of spirituality, your shit isn't sweet don't try to make it. Don't be pushing feminism and demonizing sex workers and then calling yourself a light worker. get realistic about this world and your place in it. Grow - its simple just open your mind and close your mouth.

Start slow, be patient and kind to yourself - a path is not walked with one footstep. Encourage yourself - bring positivity and light even in darkness. See yourself above it all and know that you'll make it through. Fall in love with yourself.

Never just rush into anything or pick up anything including minor workings without thorough discernment and guidance from a higher power. If your ancestors or spiritual guidance (divination especially) haven't given you the go ahead then there is nothing to do but wait and listen.

You are your greatest SPIRITUAL TOOL start with yourself and with your roots not with tools. Start with were you come from, use what you have and always follow what you know. Protect and Consecrate your energy especially around your head. carry yourself in protection and use all your intuition and discernment.

CLEANSING

Cleansing work is for removing, clarifying and drawing in energies into or out of your life. It has degrees and lives on a spectrum of potency. This is your only line of defense to energies that aren't pure to your soul, to remedy the darkness that sometimes obscures the light. Its a necessity for practicing any spiritual practice, using any spiritual tool, engaging in any spiritual working, and for spiritual hygiene.

The act of cleansing is contentious, it resounds the message that spirituality makes sense because as you must shower/bathe to remain clean you must do the same spiritually and even emotionally. Where ever energy lies it cannot be created and destroyed only changed.

Alot of people misuse words in spirituality, JUSTICE (KARMA), EVIL EYE, HEX, CURSE, CROSSING, JINX. Though in a similar category these are not the same things. Knowing that someone including yourself can step into the balance of dark and light is important. No one is out to get you and even if you have enemies that is not a call to fear.

EVIL EYE - can be set with or without intention, the persons thoughts and energy that is "sent" to you usually blocks or causes issues depending on what the energy was sent to and how intent the sender is. Bad or Negative energy.

JUSTICE (KARMA) - Not the sacred already established kind of karma its more justice base. The modern concept of what you wish for me I wish for you. Balance - when someone tries to unjustly tip the balance in your life. People trying to trap or bind you to certain paths or roads that do not serve you. This could be spiritual warfare in terms of the law also. Usually bestowed by a higher power, angels and forces of nature. KARMIC BALANCE - No energy goes unpaid and no stone is left unturned the truth will always be revealed.

CURSE - Effects lineage and blood relatives, potent and usually dangerous working. This is a sign or spiritual warfare on a deep level. This can carry in the bloodline for generations, is passed down the line. Work to cause a specific type of harm to a person. Effects wide areas of life, Money, Relationships, Happiness - whatever it is the curse will treat that area as a disease and white blood cell dynamic. Depending on the caster needs special working and should absolutely be confirmed by divination.

CROSSING - Is when someone is try to cross up your life, they want something to end or be thwarted. If your life is a bunch of paths this crossing energy is all about putting you on the path of no return to a path that crosses your blessings and highest good. Meant to cause harm and bad luck. Usually intentional but yes you can cross yourself up. Its a fixed problem and you need to uncross and cut and clear the energy in order to remove.

JINX - Mainly a souring of luck, a jinx is opposition to luck. Its exactly as its sound and it can be laid intentionally or unintentionally. Easily picked up without protection.

HEX - Usually sent and based on working something in, coming in or leaving your life. Its a set intention and its similar to a cross. Hexing is usually on a situation or event also, for example hexing your studies so you don't graduate and get a good job. Hexing is a work that requires a lot more than just a set intention its potent and intentional whether it was meant to be a spell or not. This could reference someone trying to jinx you but they have strong energy, like wishing death or bad experiences to a certain degree. This is typically performed through working or rituals but never underestimate energy.

Its a good bit of y'all that cross yourself up, thoughts and mindset is blockage enough, your perspective has more power than others candles if you unlock that power. Knowing how herbs work and properties is great but when it comes to cleansing or any working for the matter - you need to know not just believe.

It may not be enemies it may have been you - another reason divination, discernment and self mastery are so important.

Ways to cleanse:

From beginner to advanced let me give you some advice and guidance. Beyond that I am a Hoodoo spiritualist so yeah follow your own intuition and let your discernment guide you to what changes and alterations to make. Always follow your inner guidance, your ancestors first.

Hey everyone, my name is A'niya. I am a Hoodoo Practitioner, Astrologer, and Spiritual Creative. I have been practicing hoodoo for a while now, and started my own spiritual business as a practitioner. That being said, I want to use my space to delve into common misconceptions, options, and truths.

To be clear, this is from my stance as a hoodoo practitioner taught by elders.

Let me be clear, do not take anything in these books and just practice willy nilly, always research, divine, and double-check. Hoodoo and Spiritual Workings are not a joke or gimmick for any quick or unjustified workload, good or bad intentions.

What is Hoodoo?

Hoodoo is a closed ancestral practice cultivated in America during chattel slavery. Most certainly on the plantation after ADOS were integrating and being oppressed throughout society. A practice of healing, herbalism, conjure, rootwork, and alchemy, much more. It's practice rooted in survival, destruction, elevation, and renewal. It's a journey that is lifelong to be in practice with hoodoo; its elements become a lifestyle of cultivation. In hoodoo, we preserve and pass down the knowledge and wisdom that came before us. Hoodoo is survived by descendants and word of mouth; its sacred place in many lives is gifted by lineage. Not every person with hoodoo in their background is called to practice the work the same, if not at all. In hoodoo their is more than just different forms of magic; there are workers of preservation, philosophy, and gathering. Hoodoo revolves around God (Higher power), self, and the ancestral/family unit. Most practices inside hoodoo are derived to protect and elevate the line. 

Hoodoo Books

For disclaimer's sake, many elders in hoodoo have already taught, and the basis of hoodoo teaches that, in a closed practice, not much will be open to the public. Why do we have hoodoo books? One huge factor most forget when it comes to hoodoo practice is history, the one thing most of us are tied to without the golden ticket to hoodoo lineage. Most Afrcian Americas carry elements of hoodoo; its richness has fueled and expanded American and Southern history. We must preserve who we are, no matter what we practice, so that's one. Secondly, hoodoo was cultivated from the plantation, where most of our ancestors were banned from reading or participating in much organization or religion at all outside of Christianity. This is where hoodoo found its roots in books like the bible, and many books and texts from practitioners growing more open in modern times to teach the outlining history and cultivation of the practice. Practitioners and curious onlookers sought out hoodoo workers' books as outlets to come out to the world as practitioners. Most workers back in the day were colored, and weren't allowed or able to read. They would pay workers for information, but not all information was handled sacredly. Much was also told in the diea it would end up in the wrong hands, so things weren't told directly either. I want to point out that this practice has an element of secrecy and rickery to it for situations that many of our ancestors and we find ourselves in, forced to practice in protection rather than just openly put ourselves in scrutiny or danger. Many books are in the form of literature telling the life of rootworkers or projecting the life of a black person at that time, navigating spiritual and religious themes. Books are tools as well in this practice to learn the basics and explore the understandings that people have of our practice. Take certain books with a grain of salt; not every book is 100% accurate in detail and information. You may hear voodoo or certain mixed concepts in books that aren't historical or made by black people. Tread carefully and use discernment towards books; the information should be double-checked and researched carefully before you do anything like working or changes to lifestyle.

Disclaimer: This list will be changed and added to. These are tools ive learned from and have been pointed towards. Keep in mind that oral tradition is the best way to learn despite books great capacity to teach its concepts.

Books: 

The Bible: One of the oldest hoodoo books there is. One of the common and consistent tools in the practice. I'm sure you have heard people say that the bible is a spellbook of tales; it definitely is a spellbook. This sacred text isn't used in the same way as Christians in the practice, but it all depends on the type of hoodoo worker. The church and bible has close and historical ties to hoodoo practice. The bible is used to understand and explore life just the same. We do switch it up and add more spirituality and discipline in how the bible is worked throughout the daily life of hoodoo practitioners. This book contains many ways to work with scripture, herbs, rituals, and more. 

Family Books: This could be spellbooks, recipe books, or even herbalism notes. It could be anything about the hoodoo way; most of us commonly get Bibles passed down with messages and notes within them. Understands that hoodoo is practiced in many ways to conceal or be used in plain sight. These books are usually passed down from ancestors or elders in the family. They can conatin lineage based work or wisdom from before. There are ways our ancestors passed down their ways of practicing for us to pick up the torch. 

The Hoodoo Bible: Not every aspect of this one is concrete, but it's definitely solid. To be clear, Hoodoo is not voodoo or orisha work. Those are separate practices, and mixing practices in hoodoo is a big no-no, especially if it's not within your own line in the first place. We cans till acknowledge hoodoo origins and influences inside the practice itself. That being said, this book has some great information; at best, it helps you understand basic concepts and ways inside hoodoo practice. This book is also a history book of ancestral historical relevance. I personally think this book is informative and detailed; it has great knowledge and understanding. It has a lot of hoodoo principles outlined to learn the way things were and why they are today. Now this one is more mid-level advanced.

Stories of Rootworkers Hoodoo in the Mid-South: This book, so far, is delightful. It's more about the stories and lifestyles of hoodoo workers that make up our history, as well as spiritual tales. As someone who has been reading black hoodoo-esque literature. This book rings similar to many deep south novels, telling the story of black life in the south. This book is exactly as it sounds, it's filled with stories and historical telling of hoodoo figures and soulaan people down south, back in the day to now. It goes into rootworkers' stories of tales and remedies. Note that most stories like this should be taken with a grain of salt; it's a known fact that, despite their great knowledge, many rootworkers gave mixed information purposely to white observers and book makers. This book was created by a white man named Tony. Keep in mind that oral tradition is the best way to learn, despite books' great capacity to teach their concepts. 

Papa Jims's Herbal Magic Workbook: One of the few I adore, made clearly for a hoodoo worker...though it's always something with books nowadays. This is set for rootworking, and those learning such. It's a tool for learning how to use herbs for workings. Though a full book, I have noticed certain herbs aren't present. It lists its usages mainly with brief descriptions of the herbs' traits. This one has less general meaning and definition of properties. It's not a beginner tool, though it can be used to learn. The way it's written is designed for certain spiritual work associated with herbs. It also included pictures of some of the plants listed, which can help with fresh herbs. It's a beautiful book of hoodoo-based herbs, ones you may not find in the more beginner/novice books that tell the understanding. 

Papa Jim Magical Oil Book: This is a gem for any hoodoo worker to have. This book goes even deeper into advanced concepts of rootwork and herbalism. It is absolutely advanced in its teaching if you're able to understand how to truly work it. its goe sinto details about the workings and usage of the oil, brief yet informative descriptions of herbs used in workings, and ways certain oils are made and worked. This one is packed with alphabetical lists of all the information. It's not organized outside of that, but it's mixed with really great ways of working, not that you have to do anything exactly that way. Though a book of work its meant to show the usage and knowledge of the oil. 

Hoodoo, Herb, and Root magic: This is a gem for any hoodoo worker to have. This book goes even deeper into advanced concepts of rootwork and herbalism. It is absolutely advanced in its teaching if you're able to understand how to truly work it. It goes into details regarding the workings and usage of the oil, brief yet informative descriptions of herbs used in workings, and ways certain oils are made and worked. This one is packed with alphabetical lists of all the information. It’s not organized outside of that, but it's mixed with really great ways of working, not that you have to do anything exactly that way. Though a book of work, it's meant to show the usage and knowledge of the oil. 

Hoodoo Cleansing and Protection Magic: I like the way this one contained lots of information on the hoodoo regulars of cleansing, like washing down, using ammonia to clear anything harmful, and the aura. It is a great beginner tool for understanding how protection works in everyday life. It goes into detail explaining the principles and elements behind different forms of protection and cleansing. There's also information on how protection and cleansing can be compromised in everyday life. It's a beginner's 101 of moving through the energy of cleansing and protection. There is some mixed information, like most, so again, this is to understand the energy of cleansing and protection from a hoodoo-based lens; this book instructs confirmed gospel. 

Power of Psalms: This one is a favorite of mine. It has a great summary of Psalms and the different ways to work scripture to get things done. There is everything from healing sickness to daily prayers. It does a great job working as a prayer book as well. This book breaks down the prayer into sections to fully grasp the psalm's meaning and many uses. This book helps understand how to work psalms in your favor or someone else's favor.
