“In order to Live You Must Die”
Picture

She is the Spirit of the Niger River. Her winds in West Africa declare hurricanes in the Caribbean. A fierce Orisha warrior of lightning, storms, winds, and hurricanes. Just as powerful as Shango or Ogou, Oya should not be taken lightly.
​
Of the Orishas, Oya is the most intellectual and is Shango’s trusted wife and advisor. She presides over healing, and necromantic divination, rules the marketplace and cemetery. She is the only Orisha inclined to have contact with the dead. Of the cosmic forces, Oya reflects Uranus, the Dark Moon, and Shooting Stars.

​The
​New Orleans Voodoo Tarot Collection Reading III


Picture

     Hello, hello everyone! It feels good to be back to rework more Voodoo Tarot Collection Readings and see what type of energies are present in the atmosphere. I know it’s been a while since the last time I’ve been active online- It wasn’t that I didn’t want to, but instead, I took on additional responsibilities, which brought me right back here. Nevertheless, I feel more connected to this work and have a broader perspective on more things in the game of life.

     Alright now, so enough of my rambling. I’ll be sure to catch everyone up in a separate Blogspot. Alrighty, then, time to get into this Voodoo Tarot Collection Reading in no particular order, but we’ll see what cards populate and read them as they show. I also developed 52 power words oracle cards and will pull one card from my deck after the tarot reading to send us away within high thoughts.




​     The first Voodoo Tarot card is Ochosi- 10 Santeria, the wild hunter, and Orisha. I look at the vessel to see where the energy is being relayed from first, and here, the 10th vessel represents Spirit in the physical form, solidity, and all senses of the Earth’s domain. The Malkuth is the Earth’s domain preferred name where all experiences are present.
​
     Ochosi is an Orisha who provides what is necessary and more. Whenever I see this card, it always points in the direction of an accumulation of skills, creativity, or talents where the time to release them into the stars is now. The stars are the desire/goals that represent more than chance. According to the author regarding divine guidance is that “The Stars (NO. XVIII) and the destinies they carry were the object of the arrow's flight" (Glassman).
     
​     In reflection, the Ochosi-10 Santeria tarot card is the vision for what's gathered to progress into the stars but will spoil if not used this season. I would recommend that a person look at their expanded jewels and send them off to flight and reach for the brightest stars in great regard for the best outcome. You may have to be impulsive and act on what is multiplied instead of contemplating how to put the theme to use. Trust yourself and progress.

     Here is a voodoo tarot card that hasn't yet presented itself until now.  At the beginning of the Collection Reading, I mentioned that each tarot card has a higher reflection on a supposed action to counteract. Well then, the Zombi XII is one of the mentioned cards of the major arcana. Turning a supposed negative into a positive can only be done with a conscious, sound mind. 

     When this card appears, the signature energy states that actions know neither success nor failure. It means that a person has lost their way in life where the soul has become unattached from the meaning of Spirit in physical form occupying space in the body.

     

​     According to the author, “To create is to bring something forth from nothing.  With the Zombi, nothing is brought forth from something” (Glassman). All will is lost. The card’s general aspect is a form of externally motivated sacrifice. Hence why the woman on the slave block appears to be in desperation and agony with her hands flung in the air turning to the sky in sheer hopelessness.  


​
     This action is from forced external energy to create a sacred sacrifice. With that being said, no matter the hardship, it’s a path to a greater purpose, and sometimes it takes great pain to be aligned to a form of sacredness for the near future. The snake, Simbi, is wrapped around the woman's waist in the promise of potential redemption.

     Our final card in the voodoo tarot deck to appear is Madame La Lune- 9 Congo. I'm sure that we’ve talked about all of the general aspects of this card within a unit of reading other cards, but not as a singular energetic force. First off, vessel number nine represents the astral realm-the moon, stars of Yesod, and the high regions of the night’s sky.  It also corresponds to transport- the movement of one energy to the next, and the mirror- an illusion/magick.

     Madame La Lune surroundings are at full measure of peace and ease. The environment points to all signs of enchantment. She walks the waters (Congo) of the astral light (moon) covered in glamour. According to Glassman, Madame’s soul is the black mirror. My perspective is that conscious and unconscious minds are in sync with change.

​
​      The divination indicates a cyclic change returning to a new beginning after a cycle is complete in an orderly motion. Happiness, stability, and contentment are present here. In the Collection Reading video, I spoke about a completion being at the 9th vessel, and the channel was directly for this card only, not for the 9th vessel entirely.

💘​EZILIE FREDA


Picture

“Here, Erzulie is the virgin. By this is meant that she carries within herself a newness or freshness to experience.”
-Glassman/ Martinie

Queen, Goddess, matron Loa Ezili Freda Dahomey is one of the three crowns that inhabit the essence of my being. I chose this particular voodoo tarot card to do a reading because Ezili Freda has helped polish my internal and external realities on so many levels.

At first, I didn’t think that I would be acknowledged by Ezili Freda due to her popular demand, but with a formidable attitude, she’s patient with me and works on the most subtle levels.

Ezili Freda Dahomey is the Loa that embodies the spirit of hope, heartbreak, and disappointment. She exists as if living in a dream where her only desire is to see the good and the beautiful things only.

💘Ezili Freda Dahomey, 7 RADA


Let’s get into the primary aspects of this powerful Loa. Ezili Freda Dahomey commands the province of air that reigns over emotions. This venting and release allow for her vessel to link with a force of creative energy. A newness, fresh start, and resolution that generates a willingness to experience what the world has to offer from the aftermath of jolted, shattered dreams of the dream world.

Picture

It’s like when you finally let go of what’s not promised to you and find other creative ways to navigate your dreams to another reservoir of possibilities out into the world.

Shedding tears is for you to validate internal and external strength. Don’t be fooled by its vulnerability traits when the emotions fly to find stability in this world. With the aspects of Ezili Freda Dahomey, her heart is always on the line while often dreaming of beautiful possibilities. Ase!

​AYIDA WEDO
“Ayida Wedo is the rainbow, the Feathered Sky Serpent.” 
- Martinie/Glassman 

Picture

So, let’s get into the primary aspects of Ayida Wedo, the Rainbow Serpent, water snake. Ayida Wedo in an ancient Root Lwa manifested as the rainbow in the sky or a snake with rainbow-colored scales. Her origin is Ayiti (Haiti) Vodou and is often venerated with her beloved half, Damballah epitomizing a happy marriage.

Ayida Wedo, the royal serpent, is the purest influence of Congo (water). A depiction of pure consciousness is represented by Ayida Wedo here as an unequivocal state for concentration. In this voodoo tarot card, Ayida Wedo’s dance has joined in unison with the serpent used for contact or communication. 

According to the New Orleans Voodoo text, the rainbow feathered sky serpent is the bridge between the heavens and the earth.  In this voodoo tarot card, Ayida Wedo points to pleasure and happiness. Ashe’​

LOST WITHOUT PROTECTION: "Black" Women In Search for Truth | Blog Revisit from 1/18/2018

♡ Inspiring Affirmations 
△Sexual Abuse Awareness
​△Holistic Health Tips​​​​​

Hey there everyone, thanks for stopping by, and leave a comment below with your thoughts on this topic. I wrote an article about three years ago relating to the extreme disparities of violence and poor healthcare surrounding “black” women in the United States to bring awareness to these specific areas.  You can read the original article here.


In 2018, I wanted to highlight that “black” women and girls were Lost Without Protection- In Search for Connection to argue major points like,

➠“Black” women and girls only make-up 13% of the United States population, but comprises about half of female homicide victims.  

➠Homicides is one of the largest violent disparities towards “black” women in the U.S.

➠“Black” women experience rape and other forms of sexual or physical violence at higher rates in comaprison to all other ethnicities in the U.S.

➠The majority of “black” women in the U.S were sexually abused as children- addressed later in life.

➠“Black” women suffer from a form of PTSD encoded gene- leading to high infant mortality rates.

Picture

I decided to take a glance back to see where my mindset was at with these issues and then analyze the relevance for the progression of myself and others to move forward. I can say that I am still awfully disturbed by the disparities of “black” women and girls today in comparison to all other ethnicities in the United States. While I also have new insights on the topic, I was also able to refocus my thoughts with a new lens based on other information similar to forward-thinking "black" women. 


I questioned whether or not if the acts of violence towards “black” men due to the system of racism left “black” women lost without protection. I debated with myself by taking a look at my own experiences in search of truth. There has been a series of life experiences to become awakened to this information with a different outlook from my original thoughts only three years ago. 



These are the questions that I ask myself today-
Can systems be broken such as racism?
Should “black” women date outside of her race/class?
What are your thoughts?


In the blogs up ahead, we’ll take a look at each condition affecting “black” women in the United States today in 2021: High Infant Death Rates, Violence against “black” women, and Sexual Abuse Rates for “black” women and girls at disproportionate rates.
