THE STAR XVII 🌟—Hope against Hope; your true North, the compass that keeps you moving forward. The 17th card of the Major Arcana symbolizing healing, calm, and peace 🕊
⭐️ 
You’re tired. You’re pissed. You reached your max ages ago, but here you are—You are ALIVE! Thank goodness 🌱 The existential malaise runneth thickly over, but there’s no going back now. We’re in this. This is reality, and we’ve come this far—SO far amidst loss, postponements, cancellations, and delays—and if the past two years have taught us anything, it’s that life can change in the blink of an eye, right under your nose, or very suddenly—if not violently. Life’s unpredictability can throw us off-course and make goals that may have felt like clear paths once now muddied and forking left and right in ways we couldn’t have prevented or avoided or imagined.
⭐️
But remember what you wanted when you took that first step. Remember the sacrifices you’ve made that got you to where you are now. Your North Star is still shining on you. Keep looking UP! 🌌 As Mufasa echoes from the dark purple mists of eternity to Simba: REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE 💫 (at New Orleans, Louisiana)

I used this year’s Samhain to take a much-needed rest after a chaotic month or so of performing. As my brother from another mother so aptly described, “We haunt all year around. We’re allowed to take breaks. I even hear that the real ghouls, monsters, and witches take Samhain off. It’s our vacation time.” 😅 ⚡️ That being said, instead of my Sunday afternoon pull, I have chosen today, which also so happens to be a very special holiday that’s near and dear to me 💀🥀🕯 ⚡️ Día de Los Muertos reigns supreme en mi corazón for many reasons since the majority of my childhood was spent in Texas once my family immigrated. Fun Fact: I’ve now lived in New Orleans for as long as I lived in Texas 🤯 Mexicano y Chicano traditions & the rich diaspora of art, history, music, friendship, and spirituality are what ultimately drew me to my very first deck last year, Santa Muerte, which then led me to the Crows & Ravens deck I draw from today! ⚡️ If this card appears in your feed, its message is for YOU! ✨👁✨ ⚡️ XVI • THE TOWER: Destruction & Chaos must till the soil for rebirth & creation; a raging storm of life as we once knew it, shaking up our comfort zones & spurring us into action. ⚡️ Change is hard. At its worst, it can even be painful. It is imperfect by design. There are many things in life that are outside of our will to control. The rug of comfort & familiarity gets swept out from under us & it’s suddenly sink or swim! Yikes 😬 But what if I told you that sometimes you gotta sink TO swim? But if what feels like your lowest point is actually kindling for better things to come? ⚡️ THE TOWER is continued affirmation of the home stretch we talked about last week! It acknowledges our feelings of unsteadiness, but brighter days are coming! Embrace the chaos & keep your eyes on the prize! A new beginning awaits ⛅️ (at New Orleans, Louisiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVybTZVlqfC/?utm_medium=tumblr

Another illuminating sitting in the books! I can think of no better way to start Halloween weekend: performing to a sold-out audience outdoors + growing my clientele as I continue to evolve in my mediumship. I found this sitting to be so especially palpable due to channels in the spirit realm expanding exponentially this time of year. That being said, one must be judicious of what all energies we invite into our lives. As the veil becomes all the thinner, I am the most myself that I have ever been: I am a Shadow worker ✨👁🙏🏾✨ P.S.

If this card appears in your feed, I’m your mirror in this moment & you are mine ✨🪞✨ Let’s reflect, bb! • Ace of Wands 🪄 The purest energy of the suit: action + passion + possibility 🔥 • Your potential is bursting through the soil, ripe for the taking. All you have to do now is take grab hold with CONFIDENCE & POWER‼️ • Real talk tho? Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do for ourselves is be honest af about where we’re at. Maybe you’re hearing crickets in areas of your life that you were hoping for fireworks. You’re unemployed. You just got dumped. You had to draw a hard line with someone you love. If you’re working, maybe payday feels miles away (I know mine does, grrl 😅 we’re meditatin’ on it 🧘🏾‍♀️). • Achieving larger life goals can’t always be measured by what’s in plain sight. Growth can happen under, inside of, or beneath what we see. What’s next is still taking shape. YOU are still taking shape. There is strength in your softness & vulnerability. You are no less worthy in your darkness ✨🌑✨ If you aren’t taking steps to shed the skin that no longer fits, the Ace of Wands invites you to BEGIN‼️ Slither yourself free, my sweet. You are ready. ✨🐍 ✨ • Want a personalized single card tarot pull from yours truly?

The year is more than halfway over & my oatmeal brain has had trouble with the space-time continuum all the while 🥴 If this current timeline of existence has taught me anything, it’s to be as absolutely present as I can & make it count. Being present can be so hard sometimes, because every day has its challenges, but it is so, so powerful! It endures. In the years since losing my Mom, Presence has become my armor, my sword, & my shield. It makes me a resource to myself & to others. It sees me through for what’s yet to come. Presence is my “light in dark places, when all other lights go out.” ✨⭐️✨ https://www.instagram.com/p/CSVk5KsDbUo/?utm_medium=tumblr

If you haven’t engaged in a pastime that brings you joy, it’s time to pick up that half-read book, go on that secluded weekend roadtrip, take that nap! If you’ve got a mad crush, shoot your shot 👅 Switch it up, my baby.

This is the spread of a most dear friend from last weekend ✨🔮✨ I think the most profound connections I’ve experienced so far are with those who’ve crossed into my path organically. At this early stage in my mediumship, I’m constantly reminded of the fact that there are so many aspects of ourselves that remain unseen, even by those who know us & love us. I’ve always been drawn to the darkest corners of the human condition ever since I was a child, reading various mythologies & Poe at 11, reveling with all the things that go bump in the night until I was old enough to go bump myself! 👀 The great mystery of self continues to unfurl. Won’t you join me?

Time travel with me to last spring, Mardi Gras Day 💐 Because I couldn’t see the Northside Skull N Bones Gang promenade, I improvised. I woke up before dawn. My makeup was what I had on-hand at the time. I stared at skulls online as I applied it. I listened to @wwoz_neworleans radio. My baby’s breath halo was made from a bouquet I had dried some months before from my alter. I wore all black. I let my hair down. The golden ring effect is from a random filter I chose & this is the end result! Life & Death walk hand-in-hand before the dawn in Tremé on Mardi Gras day. Skull N Bones’ promenade is an over 200+ yrs old ritual with African origins. They are the cultural torch bearers of a city older than The United States of America, as old as Bulbancha. They serve as a living manifestation of how life & death walk hand-in-hand; that our actions reverberate beyond us, that our choices in this life bear weight. My Elysium is to rise before the sun & run as fast as I can to the 6th ward on Fat Tuesday to catch a glimpse of the Northside Skull N Bones Gang ☠️ Let’s run together when it’s safe again xx Credit: Dancing skeletons by @geauxcrazynola 🥀💀🌹 (at New Orleans, Louisiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSIWw5jFyFA/?utm_medium=tumblr
