Why they're so obsess with you ?

Ever wonder why some people just can't get over you? Or even who can't get over you? What happened to cause the obsession? And how come it is still ongoing?

Well, babe, your fav is here to spill the tea, and yup, it is hot!

Pile One

They are obsessed with your recent sense of renewal. You have shed a part of yourself that wasn't necessary for where you are going. You look refreshed and different, and people have taken notice.

This is not the same you from six months ago. Something has died, and something else has been born. And the people around you? They can feel the shift. Some of them are inspired. But the one obsessing over you? They are confused. They miss the old you, the one they could predict, the one they felt superior to. Now you walk into a room with a new kind of quiet confidence, and it unsettles them.

You used to bloom in their garden, so to speak. You were a fixture, someone they could count on to stay the same. But you have outgrown the soil they planted you in. And instead of celebrating your growth, they resent you for leaving them behind. They hide it behind fake smiles and backhanded compliments, but the obsession is real. They keep tabs on you. They watch your stories. They ask about you to mutual friends. They want to know who the new you is, because they cannot figure you out anymore.

Once upon a time, a garden was full of flowers that had bloomed in the same spot for years. One day, a flower decided to drop its seeds across the fence, into a field it had never seen before. The other flowers called it reckless, said it was abandoning them. But the flower knew its roots had gone stale. The next season, the garden was bare, while the field was full of new blossoms. The old flowers, still stuck in their patch of dirt, could only watch from a distance, wondering why they had never had the courage to leave.

What does that tell us? Some people will never forgive you for growing where they chose to stay still. Their obsession is not love. It is the pain of watching someone do what they were too afraid to try.

So keep walking, Pile One. Keep shedding what no longer fits. The right people will not mourn your old self. They will celebrate the one you are becoming. And the ones that obsess? Let them watch. You are not here to stay small for their comfort.

Pile Two

They are obsessed with your worth, or at least your perceived worth. You are someone that is in demand, Pile Two, and people instinctively put you on some type of pedestal. Some of you could have had a glow up recently, and you are turning heads!

But here is the thing. They don't just want you. They want what you represent. Abundance, commitment, grace. You walk into a room and people see someone who has their life together, someone who chose themselves, and it drives them crazy because they are still waiting for permission to do the same.

This person is obsessed with the idea of you. Not the real you. The version of you they built in their head. The one that has everything they feel they are missing. And instead of using that as fuel to level up, they sit in their bitterness and watch you from the corner of their eye, hoping you slip. Hoping you fall. Hoping you prove that no one can actually be that happy.

Once upon a time, a woman caught a fish for dinner and inside it found a golden ring. She put it on her finger and instantly felt wealthy, beautiful, and powerful. The next day, her neighbor saw the ring and asked where she got it. The woman told her the story. So the neighbor went to the river and fished all day, but caught nothing. She grew angry, convinced the woman had lied. That night, she snuck into the woman's house and stole the ring. But when she put it on, it felt cold and heavy. Nothing changed. She threw it into the woods and went home empty‑handed.

What does that tell us? You cannot steal someone else's worth. You cannot copy their glow. You cannot fish in their river and expect to catch the same blessing. The ring was never about the jewelry. It was about the woman who was ready to receive it.

So, Pile Two, do not let the envy of others dim your shine. The same people who obsess over your worth will also be the first to try to tear it down when they realize they cannot have it for themselves. Keep turning heads. Keep glowing. The right people will celebrate you, not compete with you.

Pile Three

They obsess over you because you seem unbothered and lucky. You keep shining regardless. This person is jealous of your joie de vivre. I feel like they have a hidden admiration that twisted itself into envy. They compared your life to theirs, your happiness to theirs, and your blessings as well. This person wants to see you hurt or lose. Your success bothers them in a weird way. They have a huge scarcity mindset, where your win prevents them from theirs, even if you are not competing in the same race. This person is actually so sad. Like they are legit miserable, Pile Three. I hope you do not take their dark energy seriously, because like most things in life, it has nothing to do with you and everything to do with them.

Once upon a time, Greed and Envy found a magic bottle. They rubbed it, and a genie appeared. The genie said to both of them, "Make a wish, and whatever you wish for, the other person will get twice."

Greed starts, asking for a million dollars. Envy watches him, happy with his money. And when the genie turns to him and asks him to make his wish, he says:

"I wish to be blind in one eye."

Now, what does that tell us? Envy doesn't make sense. It makes you do things that are detrimental to your growth, just for the sake of getting one over on someone else.

What you have to take from this story, Pile Three, is that they will always lose by their own hands. You won't even have to lift a finger, frankly, because people like this are bound for self‑destruction. Cleanse your energy and keep doing you. The rest of the world loves to watch you shining.

Ogham Divination: How to Read the Irish Alphabet for Guidance

Ogham is an ancient Irish alphabet from the 4th-5th century CE. It has 20 letters called feda, most of them named for trees or plants. Medieval Irish manuscripts describe druids and heroes using ogham-inscribed sticks for divination and magical purposes.

You can practice ogham divination with items you already own. Wooden sticks, painted stones, even slips of paper work fine. No expensive tools required. The accessibility of the system makes it practical for beginners while offering depth for experienced practitioners.

This guide gives will cover how to do divination with ogham. If you want more historical background on ogham as a writing system and its archaeological evidence, start with this introduction to ogham first.

The Robert Graves Problem

Many people first encounter ogham through Robert Graves' book The White Goddess and his "Celtic tree calendar." Graves published this system in 1948. He invented it.

Ogham is not a calendar. It has no connection to astrology or seasonal time-keeping that we know of. Graves created his tree calendar by selecting associations he liked and arranging them into a system that fit his poetic theories. The historical record doesn't support his claims.

The alphabet does connect to trees and plants through the letter names (Beith means birch, Dair means oak, Sail means willow). But medieval Irish sources assign many other associations to each letter beyond just trees. Reducing ogham to a "tree alphabet" or forcing it into a calendar framework ignores the actual complexity of the system.

This guide uses bríatharogam from medieval manuscripts rather than modern inventions. When you read "withered foot with fine hair" or "greyest of skin" for Beith, you're working with kennings that medieval Irish scholars recorded, not 20th-century speculation.

Why Bríatharogam Matter for Ogham Divination

Medieval Irish manuscripts preserve three sets of kennings for each ogham letter, along with a color, animal and other associations. These poetic phrases work like riddles, each offering a different angle on the letter's meaning. The three sets come from different sources and traditions, attributed to the scholar Morainn mac Moín, the poetic name Maic ind Óc (the Young Son), and the hero Con Culainn.

Take Fearn (alder) as an example. Morainn's bríatharogam calls it "vanguard of warriors." Maic ind Óc calls it "milk container." Con Culainn calls it "protection of the heart." These three phrases give you layers to work with when Fearn appears in a reading. You might interpret it as needing to fight for something, as nourishment and sustenance, or as vulnerability requiring protection. The medieval sources understood that symbols carry multiple meanings.

This layered approach to interpretation has historical roots. Irish literary tradition valued ambiguity and multiple meanings in language. The bríatharogam reflect that sophistication.

How to Read Ogham Divination

Single Draw: Draw one fid for a yes/no question or daily guidance. Read its meaning and apply it directly to your situation. Simple, fast, effective.

Three Paths Spread: Draw three feda and lay them in a row. The first shows where you've been, the second shows where you are, the third shows where you're heading if you continue on your current path. Good for decision-making and understanding trajectory.

Casting Method: Hold all your feda, focus on your question, and scatter them on a cloth. Read only the ones that land face-up. Feda that land close together relate to each other. Those near the center of the cloth matter most to your current situation. Ignore any that fall off the cloth entirely.

You don't need special training to read ogham. Start with the meanings in the guide. Your intuition develops through practice as you work with the symbols and see how they show up in your life.

Making Your Own Ogham Divination Set

Find twenty wooden sticks roughly the same size and carve or paint the ogham letters on them. Collect twenty smooth stones and mark them with permanent marker or paint. Cut twenty pieces of paper or cardstock and draw the symbols.

You don't need to purchase manufactured sets. Making your own becomes part of learning the system. As you create each fid, you spend time with its name, its shape, its associations. That time matters.

The guide includes visual reference for all 20 letters so you know exactly what to draw or carve.

About the Ogham Reference Guide

The guide is available as a PDF download on Ko-fi. It's structured as both a quick reference and a learning tool. Each fid gets its own page with pronunciation, all three bríatharogam, traditional associations, and modern divinatory meanings.

The information comes from medieval manuscript sources rather than modern invented systems. Historical accuracy matters when you're working with a tradition that has actual documentation. You get the real thing, not someone's 1940s fantasy about what Celts "must have" believed.

The guide works for beginners who need foundational knowledge and for experienced practitioners who want a reliable reference with historical backing.

Start Where You Are

You already have what you need to practice ogham divination. Paper and pen. Sticks from your yard. Stones from a walk. The tools are simple because the practice itself is accessible.

Get the Ogham Reference Guide to learn the feda and their meanings. If you want more historical context about ogham as a writing system and its archaeological evidence, read this introduction to the ogham alphabet.

The practice builds from there.

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.
