Totowosu Tarot

🌞Good afternoon, good afternoon 🌞 Happy Sun’s Day 🌞 I just brewed this medicine to first drink as a tea and then use the remainder for a post-period yoni steam after 🌺🧖🏾‍♀️

🪵Blue vervain: supports liver health and womb health, relieves anxiety, antimicrobial properties, antispasmodic
🌹Red clover: womb toner, skin glower, contains isoflavones which have estrogen- like influences in the body
🍃Bay leaves: digestive health (inflammation, bloating, constipation), an antibacterial; immune boosting (vitamins A, B6, C)
🌿Spearmint: lowers blood sugar, helps regulate hormone imbalances, mental clarity/ reduces headaches, soothes digestive system by reducing inflammation; helps regulate excessive heat in the body (which causes inflammation)

🍯Bring everything to a boil for 10-15minutes. Turn fire to low or off, cover and let simmer/steep for another 5 minutes. Strain a portion for a cup or two of tea; sweeten w/ honey if ya want. Sit/ supported squat over pot of remaining brew and the let vapors caress your flowervulvacoochiepussygenitals for up to 20 minutes or until the steam dissipates. I like to add a few drops of rosemary oil right before I sit and cover legs and pot in a blanket or towel for maximum steam power! Rinse or shower after.

See you in the Future! 🫧🧜🏾‍♀️

🌅Gratitude to .erazo 🦋 for inviting me to offer Tarot readings last night at “CINEMA + RITUAL”! A beautiful activation to mark the culmination of their thesis and to uplift these films and their makers✨

My favourite way to practice this craft continues to be in the midst of my communities’ goings-on. A particular type of bubble is created around reader and seeker that encourages us to focus more on our intuitions, those stories that slip through even while the world continues to spin. Thanks to everyone who sat down with me filled with self-inquiry and trust!🐚

T H E S T A R 🌟 // ♒ Archetype
Aquarius Szn Blessings, y’all!
The Star, number XVII (17) is the archetype of Aquarius in tarot. The archetype of the water bearer is in fact an AIR SIGN, and brings inspiration & hope from the heavens (our minds/higher consciousness) down to earth & into our lives. Inspiration is the word for this card. The thoughts, dreams of our present & future works ✨ are available to us via engagement with the Star. Aquarius is the sign of fixed air; you can depend on this energy being consistent & putting in sustained effort over a period of time in a *unique, trailblazing, futuristic, humanitarian style.*

Aquarius is concerned with both the individual AND the collective, prioritizing humanity. It finds ways for its own inspired inventions to work not just for themselves, but for everyone. It sees clearly how the individual is part of the whole & how the whole can thrive via these individual points of starlight. The Star is concerned about the future & is often depicted as a bearer carrying water (inspiration, hope, life) in a vessel & distributing it where it is needed or required! This is an act of creation. In this way the Star speaks to what we feel inspired to pour life into, individually & as a community. Transition, transportation, transmutation of the ethereal, thoughts & ideas, to the material— open discussion, plans, art, action, protest, dissent if required.

When this card appears in a reading you are being encouraged to focus on what truly inspires you, to take what you’re hopeful about, dreaming about, & make it reality! Bring it down to earth, make it functional for a sustainable future. These are the ideas & inventions that keep us awake at night with excitement & fear; the ideas & inventions that could potentially change your life, & that of others. What bright ideas exist in your heavens? Pull them down from the sky & pour them onto the earth for your communities to learn & grow from. Other key words/phrases: distill, purify or clarify, carry or transport, inner light, inspiration, hope, spiritual expression, satisfy your soul, working towards manifestation. ✨

🤎 Capricorn New Moon Circle - Sat 13 Jan 3pm~ 🔗 in bio to register.🤎

Thursday’s (11 Jan) New Moon 🌚 at 20 degrees of Capricorn is the first new moon of 2024! Join me, virtually, on Saturday 13 Jan for a Capricorn New Moon Circle to unpack the astrology of the cap new moon and how best to work with it collectively and individually. On the 13th Mercury moves into Capricorn (highlighting representation and communication), joining Mars who is already there (since the 4th) encouraging action in Capricorn’s style. Capricorn is the cardinal Earth sign of the zodiac, which means it is initiatory, methodical and unrelenting in dealing with all matters, especially those of the material realm, including but not limited to resource management ,tasks, work/career matters and anything to do with personal success). Capricorn is associated with the anatomy of the BONES, joints, knees and teeth, so through our yoga asanas and tarot pulls, we’ll be concerned with all that is bone deep! - Sat 13 Jan 3pm~ 🔗 in bio to register. See you in future! 🧜🏽‍♀️🐚

Hey folks👋🏽Happy 2024! 🥂✨🐚 I wrapped up a year of readings with tarot readings at my university department’s winter social and it was such a wonderful experience. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to integrate my intuitive tarot practice into an academic institution. I love the interdisciplinary approach I can take , yoking my studies and spiritual arts practices within the MA women and gender studies. It was also a full circle moment because the room the event was held in was the office where I interned back in the day (summer 2012- see slide 3) and if you had told 22yo me that I’d be back over a decade later reading tarot cards for my peers and colleagues, I would not have believed you. But, that’s it! That’s life. Unbelievable things continue to happen (the glorious, the truly horrific and everything in between). This is glorious! Big thanks to my advisor and Director of the program for including me in this way! 💐💚

This year, expect a return of moon circles and more! See you in the future!

My readings just got a whole lot *sharper* thanks to ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡💅🏾

How are folks surviving the Uranus x Mars x North Node conjunction? The upcoming Full Moon in Aquarius makes a Square 🟥 to this topsy turvy trio & also closely conjoins Saturn retrograde. CONNECTIVITY strikes me as a theme; macro: our groups, organisations, associations, friendships; micro (& macro): WiFi & other technologies. I interpret this astrology to be a baby & the bath water type situation; fortunately, or unfortunately 🤷🏽‍♀️ the baby gets thrown out too? Player's choice!

What do you & your communities want the future to be/look like, feel like? There's an energy about choosing, deciding to start a fresh vs continuing with what we have. Like Roe v Wade, what other precedents may get thrown out for the collective, & then like in Kansas, what does the collective respond saying we're going to keep?

We might all find or reinvent tribe, make new & more sustainable associations, start organising & think tanking with more innovative groups. Who are your people? What y'all wanna be doing? But Mars been bound up here in Ta**us, instead of actions towards commitment & comfort unsteady grounds, lack of planning, lack of co-operation may run group actions into the weeds. The Moon in Aquarius ain't great at expressing feelings either, so how we gonna make sure everyone's on the same page? The fixedness of Aquarius & Ta**us are not effective here; fixedness has left the building. We may be called or forced to make new alliances for.... a different future. How are you choosing, or not, to connect? This Full Moon may be a chance to bye-bye tried & failed methods of connectivity.

🌑♌ LEO NEW MOON A matter that arose during Cancer szn which centres around self expression is up for resolution with this Leo New Moon. Don't stifle for your own truth or feelings, it will wreak havoc on your mind. You aren't doing yourself or others any favours by staying silent; you are likely doing yourself harm, or harm is being done to you because you may feel it is unsafe to express your thoughts/feelings. It's better to have friends than enemies, & this matter can be joyfully resolved within a small circle or community. If you speak up, you'll find tribe, folx that feel or think the same as you, are like minded or share a specific passion.

Beyond the personal, the cards suggest this could be a social justice issue, where organising with others is key for building Strength in numbers. Embody the Queen of Wands, step into leadership, be courageous & adaptable, conquer your fears & through your actions others will be inspired to do the same. A just resolution of the matter~whether private or public~ will be dependent on grasping these qualities, & also dependent on the sharing or redistribution of resources. Give & receive whatever you can until everyone's coffers are full~ of time, energy, cash monies, information, courage, strength.

Mundane examples of how this energy may function: if you know the answer to question that is being asked, raise your hand, share what you know. Express/ tell your own story or experience of thing/a time/place; your storytelling may hep inform others in important ways, that could result in justice, strength, empowerment.

However this lands for you, set intention this Leo New Moon to "'Speak Up", as Mame Coumba Bang (Senegal, water) instructs us. Create a ritual around speaking or singing to this Goddess, your own Goddesses & Ancestors. Offer them your own voice & truth. With others, be clear about where you stand on important issues. "Stand up for something, or fall for anything." Leo energy is never about neutrality! Pick your side, based on your values & passions. Affirm: "I reclaim my voice. I speak out & speak out."

🗣 Kaleidadope Tarot x African Goddess Rising Oracle

🌑🌒Join me on Sunday, May 1st at 4pm EST for a post eclipse wash down/ flow out/read out/cry out.

🌿I love to see the plush, luxurious & easeful qualities of the Ta**us archetype highlighted, but not to be forgotten: Ta**us is a fixed earth sign, & it do usually get s**t done! Alas, this eclipse is putting a little damper on the otherwise stable, pleasure loving energy of a Ta**us new moon. Under this solar eclipse we may have accept that sudden, constant change is a fixed part of life. We may have to look for & call on stability, security, comfort & rest from *within* ourselves, & rely less on our unpredictable environments, & the folx in them. Despite the lalapalooza energy the planet party in Pisces may be temporarily giving, this new moon & solar eclipse in Ta**us is giving "ain't nobody coming to save you; you better save yourself," energy... mmkay?

🥲I don't usually don't host circle the day after a lunation, preferably before or on, but now 'til Saturday is giving me ridin' solo vibes. Plus, an eclipse is nuntin' to play with. Fixed signs (yall aright? 👀) or energies that don't bend may snap now. No magic! No big intention seeding! Flow with natural openings & closings, & don't ignore that which gets pulled into shadow.👥 That part!

📢Ta**us is assigned the anatomy of the neck, larynx, throat, & vocal cords, so apply some extra TLC to your throat chakra. Is your voice being heard? Have you even heard it in a while? Do you feel safe to speak your truth? For Sunday's circle I'm feeling mantra, throat openers & grounded moves. Yes, we can cry in child's pose too, & prep for merc rx (May 10 - June 2).

Let's just go into this newmoonsolareclipseconjunctUranusplusjupitervenusconjunctioninpiscesandpremercrxshadow weekend easy, ok? We convene on Sunday! Gtg... much to do, & too little time. Bye! 🧜🏾‍♀️
