The Magician The second card in The Courtly Beasts Tarot.

The Magician stands in a stone pavilion at dawn, surrounded by his tools. With a full day ahead of him, and all his resources at his disposal, he has the ability and the drive to bring his goals into being. The structure and the blooming flora around him are physical evidence of his will made manifest, his thoughts and preparation come to fruition. 

The Courtly Beasts Tarot is intended to be a deck that draws loosely from the imagery of the classic Rider-Waite illustrations, but creates a world of its own through the use of anthropomorphic animals cast in the archetypal roles, historically inspired costume, and lush environments. Each card is another step in the journey.

I’m giving Patrons a look at my working process, as well as early access to the full illustrations before I share them publicly.

I have The Fool available for everyone on Patreon as a bit of a preview post!

Pomba Gira

Ela mexeu com o imaginário popular e muitos a associaram à mulher da rua.

Mas todos se fascinaram diante de sua beleza, feminilidade e liberalidade.

Sua desenvoltura e seu poder fascinam até os mais introvertidos que, diante dela, se abrem e confessam suas necessidades, seus recalques, suas frustrações, suas mágoas, tristezas e ressentimentos com os pretendentes.

E a todos ela ouviu com compreensão e a ninguém negou seus conselhos e sua ajuda num campo que domina como ninguém mais é capaz.

Quem não iria admirar e amar um arquétipo tão humano e tão liberalizado de sentimentos reprimidos à custa de muito sofrimento?

Pomba Gira é Mojubá!

Herstory....Herstorian

[yorubaby]

Hoodoo is a closed practice.

If you see something that's derived from hoodoo-- it's not for you to take and use if you're not of African descent.

Be respectful of closed practices. Be respectful and understand that some things aren't for you to touch.

Appreciate a practice for who it's for, and then move on about your day.

Hoodoo Heritage Month honors Hoodoo for little fingers by celebrating the children’s book Saturday Magic: A Hoodoo Story, by Nyasha Williams and Kenda Bell-Spruill, tells the story of a young girl named Dayo and her family’s everyday practice of Hoodoo.

The story begins on a Saturday morning when Dayo wakes up after having a perplexing dream about a yellow bird. Determined to understand the message from the dream, Dayo sets out to decipher its meaning throughout her day. Dayo and her family practice daily rituals, including mantras and affirmations, to guide their intentional actions.They visit their family altar to clean the house and show respect and gratitude to their ancestors, seeking guidance and blessings.

Dayo remains observant of the world around her, viewing small occurrences—like finding unexpected money (pennies and dimes) and seeing physical depictions of yellow birds—as signs and messages from her ancestors. This lovely story is an affirming celebration of Hoodoo as a beautiful tradition of family, heritage, intuition, and the finding of magic in everyday life.

pictured above is a digital painting of a dark-skinned, Black gullah-geechee conjure woman dancing in front of a full moon. she is wearing a white, tiered, ruffled dress adorned with cowrie shells and a white headwrap. she is wearing gold face piercings, gold rings, gold bangles, a gold ankh necklace, colorful beaded necklaces, and gold hoop earrings. her fingertips are stained blue with indigo pigment, her eyes are closed, and her arms are reaching up towards the sky. hooked onto the belt of her dress are a miniature skull and a brown leather satchel of herbs. in front of her, four long candles burn and smoke into the sky. behind her, there are two trees with blue glass bottles hanging from their branches.
