As a black woman, I am furious. I have no words. I have no more patience. I am angry. I am tired. WE are tired. Oh and our president is a piece of shit racist and unfollow this account if it hurts your poor little feelings to hear me say that. I have spent my whole life watching and experiencing racism and white silence. No more being nice. No more staying silent. If this hurts your feelings and you feel personally attacked by the sentiment then you ain’t ready to hear the message yet. I don’t have any more time for white fragility. I’ve been tip-toeing around it my whole life and I am done. For those that are using their privilege to speak up and make a difference, thank you. You are on the right side of history. ✊🏽 Artwork By Me: @BrooklynnMusic on Instagram

What to Ask Tarot

I find that broad, open ended questions work best when consulting a tarot reader, or when you want more than just yes or no. (If you’re reading for yourself and you’re only looking for a simple yes/no answer, then you do you!) As a tarot reader, I find it easier to guide my clients when they ask open ended questions. For example…

Don’t ask “Is he/she/they interested in me?” Ask: 

“How should I express my interest?” 

“What can I do to attract people that would be romantically interested in me?” 

“What is holding me back from finding someone?”

“What do I need to change to find The One?” 

Don’t ask “Will I get the job/promotion/award?” Ask:

“How can I make myself stand out as deserving of the promotion?”

“What qualities should I work on to make myself a better job applicant?”

“Where can I improve?”

Don’t ask “Is life going to get better?” (Yes!) Ask:

“What do I need to change to make my life better?”

“Why am I unable to move forward?”

“How can I move past what’s holding me back?”

Don’t ask “Should I leave my partner?” Ask:

“How can I find the problem in my relationship?”

“What do I need to do to overcome this problem?”

“What issue am I refusing to face?”

“How do I achieve a healthy relationship?”

Don’t ask “Will I do well in school?” Ask:

“How can I achieve my goals?”

“What pitfalls might I run into?”

Don’t ask “Should I choose A or B?” Ask:

“What are the risks of each option?”

“What are the benefits of each option?”

“Are there unexpected side effects I should look out for?”

“How do I be confident in my decision?”

Don’t ask “Are my partner and I compatible?” Ask:

“What can I do to work through our differences?”

“Where am I willing to sacrifice and where am I not?”

“What, if any, tension can I expect due to our differences?”

These questions can be tweaked to fit your specific situation! When I’m asked yes/no questions, I try and answer them. But I also elaborate using the alternative questions to provide a more helpful answer so clients can ultimately make their own decisions. 

If you don’t know the best questions to ask, you can always just describe your problem and let your tarot reader handle the rest. If you’re reading for yourself, explore different aspects of your problem and see if you can turn it into a what/how/why question. 

I do Pay What You Can tarot readings!

How come whenever black people say that Hoodoo is closed to nonblack witches the FIRST THING white witches say is “Well then only white witches can practice Celtic/Hellenistic paganism (or any other OPEN European religion/spiritual practice).

Like it just shows how uneducated y’all are. Honestly. Celtic and Hellenistic paganism are OPEN practices. There is no requirements to join. Hoodoo was made by SLAVES, SLAVEESSSSS! Made by African slaves FOR African slaves and their descendants to help protect themselves. Why, as a white witch, would you want to use the spirits of slaves and black ancestors to do work for you??? Like why???

[naturebrujo]

Okay, so when are people gonna stop calling Vodou, Hoodoo, Santeria, and every other Traditional African Religion black magic and by black magic, I mean evil because it’s 2018  2019 2020 2021 and people are out here still thinking these religions are evil all because it’s not “Love and Light.”

the utter romantic notion that the stars have a hand in our fate.

[ierotits]

okay people who have been fighting to unwhitewash the clones, now is your time to help māori!!

What’s happening

- 182.41 hectares of our ancestral land in Wairarapa has come up for sale.

- This whenua backs onto our maunga Tararua, our awa, Waiohine and is near our whānau urupā, Te Uru o Tāneroa.

- The tender price is between $1.2-1.5 million.

- Our whānau are trying to raise money to meet the tender price.

- Our iwi has not settled, so we have no collective financial base.

- Our whānau want to buy back our whenua and establish papakāinga and sustainable business to bring our people home to Wairarapa.

If the tender is unsuccessful they will keep all donations for the next bit of land that comes up

#LandBack Help us buy back our ancestral land in Wairarapa

#LandBack. We have a once in a lifetime opportunity to buy it back and help recreate a hub for our Ngāti Kahukuraawhitia people.

(information has been copied from @/amscraig on twitter, who is a member of the iwi attempting to reclaim their land)

it is so disappointing that this is the only option to reclaim illegally stolen land for the iwi, but the government wont work towards settlement with many iwi so we have no other choice

if you have any money avaliable to donate please do, anything would be appreciated!

PSA to my white friends and followers: In the wake of a phenomenally important guilty verdict in the Derek Chauvin Trial, I’d like to remind you all that the fallout of this case will likely mean more police violence against our Black friends and neighbors, not less. Looking at the statistics in the weeks leading up to this verdict shows that this is already the case. Police in this country are angry that society is beginning to hold them accountable for their abusive actions, and they are looking for revenge. So if you see a cop interacting with a BIPOC, DO NOT walk away. Video record if you can (and as long as it doesn’t further jeopardize the safety of the BIPOC involved), but absolutely do not walk away. It is critical that we do our part and look out for people, and make cops think twice about abusing their powers of authority and near-immunity to murder citizens people.

Honoring the lives lost in the Atlanta shooting

Xiaojie 'Emily' Tan, 49

Tan, 49, was the mother of Jami Webb, a recent graduate from the University of Georgia. She was a licensed massage therapist and the owner of Young’s Asian Massage, along with other businesses in the area, including another spa and a tanning salon, according to state records. She was “the sweetest, most kind-hearted, giving, never-met-a-stranger person,” a friend told Atlanta’s WSB-TV. Just one day away from her 50th birthday when she was killed, according to USA Today, Tan was described by her daughter as thoughtful, devoted to her family, and looking forward to traveling in her retirement.

Hyun Jung Grant, 51

Hyun Jung Grant was a Korean immigrant who worked at Atlanta’s Gold Spa. Her son Randy Park, 23, shared a tribute to his mother on GoFundMe: He said his mother was a single parent who “dedicated her whole life to providing for my brother and I.” She loved dancing and sushi, according to Park, who told The Daily Beast, “She wasn’t just my mother. She was my friend.” Park, who now has to raise his brother alone, is not buying law-enforcement officials’ suggestion that the attack was motivated by a supposed sex addiction, not racism. “That’s bullshit,” he said.

Delaina Ashley Yaun Gonzalez, 33

Yaun Gonzalez, 33, was a mother of two — 13-year-old Mayson and 8-month-old Mia. She had worked all day on Tuesday at the Waffle House a few shops down from Tan’s spa business. She had been looking forward to having a relaxing night out with her husband, Mario Gonzalez, whom she married only last year, and the couple had reportedly never been to Young’s Asian Massage before. According to Fox 5 Atlanta, family members say that Mario Gonzalez, who survived the shooting, is “taking [the situation] hard.” Delaina Ashley Yaun Gonzalez’s friends and family have set up a GoFundMe to address her funeral costs.

Paul Andre Michels, 54

Michels, 54, was a handyman at Young’s Asian Massage and the owner of an electric company. He was only recently hired for the role and excited to take it on after looking for more work during the pandemic, according to a friend who spoke with CBS46. An army veteran originally from Detroit, Michels is one of nine siblings and is survived by his wife of more than two decades. In an interview with the Guardian, his brother John Michels emphasized his kindness. “He was just a regular guy, very good-hearted, very soft-natured,” he said, while noting that Michels had expressed an interest in getting involved in the massage business.

Yong Ae Yue, 63

A licensed massage therapist, she was laid off at the start of the pandemic last year and was excited to finally start shifts at the spa again, her son Elliott Peterson, 42, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Friday morning. Yue’s youngest child, Robert Peterson, 38, agreed, recalling their mother as a kind and deeply caring woman. If you stopped by her house, she’d sit you down, ask if you’d eaten, and then insist on a trip to H Mart grocery store so she could make a meal.

Daoyou Feng, 44

Daoyou Feng, 44, began working at Young’s Asian Massage in recent months, according to Tan’s friend Hynson. She was kind and quiet, he said. Her relatives could not be reached for comment.

Soon Chung Park, 74

Soon Chung Park, 74, was also a worker at an Atlanta spa. Her family didn’t respond when reached for comment. Park previously lived in New York, where she has relatives, her son-in-law, Scott Lee, told the New York Times. “She got along with her family so well,” Lee told the newspaper.

Suncha Kim, 69

Suncha Kim, 69, worked at one of the spas in Atlanta. Her family could not be reached for comment. Kim, a grandmother, was married for more than 50 years, a family member told the Times. She enjoyed line dancing and worked hard, the relative said.

Elcias Hernandez-Ortiz, 30

Hernandez-Ortiz, 30, was the only survivor of the victims who were shot on Tuesday, and he remains hospitalized for multiple gunshot wounds in his “forehead, throat, lungs and stomach,” according to the Washington Post. He was shot while standing outside in the shopping center where Young’s Asian Massage is located. “He came from nothing and has come a long way; that is why I have faith he will survive this,” his wife Flor Gonzalez told the Washington Post. Gonzalez has also set up a GoFundMe to help with the costs of Hernandez-Ortiz’s medical care.

Flowers (optional)

Body oil (for moisture and to feel sexy)

Jasmine (sensuality)

Self love is the most important when it comes to feeling more confident or attract healthier relationships. When you speak negatively of yourself, you're attracting that kind of energy towards you. You have to stop thinking those negative thoughts because you manifest that negativity into your reality. You stop yourself when it comes to finding inner fulfillment and your desired love life when you do that. If people talk down on you don't listen to them! These people feed off of negative energy and all they want to see is you be unhappy because they're unhappy with themselves. Don't listen to these people, love your appearance, love your mind, and love your soul. If you're insecure, ask yourself: "What do others find so attractive about me?" "What do I get complimented on?" "What is it that others see about myself that I don't?" Think of the qualities that you like about yourself and work on to improve the qualities that you aren't as fond of. Admire your body ans your feautures. You are a treasure and should deserve to feel like royalty. Embrace yourself as a beautiful human being, there is no shame in your sexuality as well! Know that you are amazing and deserving of pleasure. Know that you can do fine by yourself and only accept the most amazing people into your life because you deserve the best. If you are wanting to manifest love, daydream about your desired romantic, think of what you want in a romantic partner, visualize your perfect date, wedding day, or first kiss. (𝐍𝐒𝐅𝐖/𝐓𝐖) If you're comfortable, you can use this as sex magic, and masturbate to become comfortable with your body. You can also use your orgasms to manifest your desires.

Repeat affirmations to yourself:

"𝓘 𝓪𝓶 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓭."

"𝓘 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮 𝓶𝔂𝓼𝓮𝓵𝓯."

"𝓘 𝓱𝓪𝓿𝓮 𝓶𝓪𝓷𝓲𝓯𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓮𝓭 𝓱𝓪𝓹𝓹𝓲𝓷𝓮𝓼𝓼."

"𝓘 𝓪𝓽𝓽𝓻𝓪𝓬𝓽 𝓱𝓮𝓪𝓵𝓽𝓱𝔂, 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓻𝓮𝓵𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷𝓼𝓱𝓲𝓹𝓼."

"𝓘 𝓱𝓪𝓿𝓮 𝓶𝓪𝓷𝓲𝓯𝓮𝓼𝓽 𝓶𝔂 𝓭𝓮𝓼𝓲𝓻𝓮𝓭 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓻."

"𝓘 𝓪𝓶 𝓱𝓮𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓯𝓻𝓸𝓶 𝓶𝔂 𝓽𝓻𝓪𝓾𝓶𝓪."

"𝓘 𝓪𝓶 𝓰𝓮𝓷𝓽𝓵𝓮 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓮𝓶𝓹𝓪𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓽𝓲𝓬 𝔀𝓲𝓽𝓱 𝓶𝔂𝓼𝓮𝓵𝓯."

After:

Perfume (optional).

Face masks (optional).

Do your skincare routine.

Wear your favorite lotion.

Body butter or bronzer (optional).

Hype yourself up when you look in the mirror.

Only say good things about yourself and your appearance.

Put sticky notes with affirmations in your bathroom or room.

Wear your favorite makeup.

Wear something that makes you feel sexy (lingerie, suit, etc).

Put in the effort to talking to the person you have a crush on.

Tell your partner you love them.

Make plans for a cute date.

Learn what you like and dislike sexually.

Have sex with people with good vibrations.

If you're in a new relationship tell them what's on your mind (wanting be more serious, etc).

If you want to get married one day tell your partner (only for long term relationships or ask them on the first date if they would ever want to get married one day) .

Break up with your partner if you're in a unhappy relationship.

Don't be with fuckboys/girls.

Set standards for yourself of what you want romantically.

Hey, this is just a quick FYI for witchy friends with birds: be really careful with candles, oils, etc. because birds have really sensitive lungs and anything with an essential oil or strong scent might harm them.

Thank you for the heads up! And honestly this applies to other animals too. Always make sure you know how your oils and fragrances affect your pets!

Consider supporting me! Venmo:@AubreyEK
