About Me:
Paths:
{made with the Ancestors and Great Spirits of the African Diaspora in mind, here's what I associate with each day of the week and the children of the diaspora born therein:
Monday's child is fair of face
Tuesday's child is full of grace
Wednesday's child is full of woe
Thursday's child has far to go
Friday's child is loving and giving
Saturday's child works hard for a living
And the child born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, good and gay.
Monday: masters of finding new roads and moving forwards, tearing down blockages, trailblazers and warriors. Artists of all kinds, writers, poets, singers.
Tuesday: embodiment of thunderstorms, winds, omens, they're powerful conjurers with hot hands, always busy, always moving. Often times scholars, historians.
Wednesday: defenders, protectors, of humanity and nature as a whole. Warrior spirits at their core, but also great diviners and mediums.
Thursday: eloquent muses of the arts of love and war alike, great beauties who lead armies with equal charm and force. Sweetening, love and luck workings come easy to them.
Friday: personification of abundance and status. A commanding presence. Building legacy, great manifestors and conjurers, specially for work and finances.
Saturday: guardians of waters and the beyond. Community leaders, gifted healers, divine messengers. Carrying all the wisdom of the Elders and Ancestors.
Sunday: priests and priestesses that defy status quo, very old Ancestors coming back to reshape and rebirth reality. They will enter your life and purge every aspect of it.}
Me gatekeeping and protecting Hoodoo from thieves and invaders:
Tuesday, December 5, 05:49 UT - Last Quarter Moon, 12°49’ Virgo
The key phrases for the Last Quarter lunar phase are “turn away” from what we’ve been doing, and “tear down old structures that no longer serve us well.” We might want to look at our daily routines and habit patterns, for what ought to be jettisoned.
Saturday, December 9, 07:16 UT - Balsamic Moon, 1°56’ Scorpio
The key phrases for the Balsamic lunar phase are “let go of the past” and “envision the future.” The way a snake sheds it skin - shuck off that outgrown past.
Monday, December 4, 02:11 UT (Leo) - 03:50 UT (Virgo)
Wednesday, December 6, 13:50 UT (Virgo) - 15:35 UT (Libra)
Saturday, December 9, 01:05 UT (Libra) - 03:35 UT (Scorpio)
Pre-retrograde shadow: Mercury/Capricorn, Juno/Virgo
Retrograde: Vesta/Cancer, Jupiter/Taurus, Chiron/Aries, Uranus/Taurus, Neptune/Pisces (until Wednesday the 6th), Eris/Aries
Post-retrograde shadow: Saturn/Pisces
Transiting Mercury has its “greatest eastern elongation” on Monday the 4th, 19:34 UT, at 3°32’ Capricorn. A similar feel to the Last Quarter lunar phase - some old thought pattern or habit needs to go.
Transiting Neptune stations direct Wednesday the 6th, 13:20 UT, at 24°53’ Pisces. We are now a little clearer about our true vision.
Transiting Mercury enters its Storm on Saturday the 9th. This acts like the retrograde - even though Mercury is technically still moving forward. Expect some of the typical Merc Rx shenanigans to crop up.
Monday, December 4, 18:51 UT - transiting Venus enters Scorpio
Venus moving through this sign wants truth and honesty above all things. Charm and good manners don’t cut it, any more - we want something deeper.
There are two Opportunity Periods this week:
The Moon is waning, and Mercury is on the verge of a retrograde station. This makes it a good week for us to rest up, if we can. As the calendar year draws to its close, and as we near the Capricorn Solstice, we’re probably in a more reflective mood, anyway. It isn’t a good time to start anything - we need to wait for the Cap Solstice at the earliest, for that - and if you want Mercury to be direct, you’ll have to wait for the Capricorn New Moon on January 11.
If you’re a African-American Hoodoo practitioner, please do not get these three books, as they are written by white people who are doing digital blackface.
Hoodoo is a closed African-American spirituality practice that only African-Americans can practice. We do not have a lot of resources or books written by African-Americans so I will try to provide all the books that I use by actual African-Americans.
It’s upsetting that I find a book about Hoodoo thats written by a white person or a non-African-American person. I don’t like that.
Some African American Hoodoo authors I suggest are:
Stephanie Rose Bird
Monique Joiner Siedlak
and Tayannah Lee Mcquillar
The big event for July. I’ve already blogged a little bit about it. Basically it’s almost almost a cartoonish consideration of Libra’s bad qualities and Aries’ positive qualities. A recap:
South Node in Libra - where are we “going along to get along,” and where is that actually damaging us? Where are we too dependent, co-dependent, etc. on other people? Where are we too apt to be superficial, valuing only the appearance?
North Node in Aries - where do we need to take a stand? Where do we need to act independently? Where do we need to look at life more realistically?
Transiting Pluto has been closely square the transiting Nodes - and this is easy to see as it plays out, over climate and environmental issues. The powers that be, represented by Pluto/Capricorn, have made an unholy mess of the planet. And too many people have “gone along to get along” - I’m thinking of people specifically in the US here - we’ve valued our own comfort and convenience beyond what the planet can handle. Easier to let the corporations ruin everything, as long as we still have it cushy.
It’s time for us to be courageous, to show some leadership, and to fight back. Aries is sometimes just plain belligerent, but it also can be roused to take the role of protector.
To see where you as an individual need some work, one trick is to look at the rulers of Libra (Venus) and Aries (Mars) in your own chart.
Jupiter Planet, June 2023
✨Blessed Juneteenth✨
Remember your African & Black American ancestors, read their names aloud (and call the ones whose names are lost to history as well). Light a candle for them and leave them offerings of food & libations as well. Pray for their well-being in the next world 🙏🏽.
Also make a point of buying from Black entrepreneurs and businesses today (and onward). Cook with Diaspora foods and thank your ancestors.
if you’re still open to requests, could i get a scorpio sun, leo moon, virgo rising moodboard? thanks!
There is a deeply analytical vibe with the combination of Scorpio sun and Virgo rising that is brightened up by the joyful Leo moon. Everything may be well thoroughly thought out ahead of time, or you may excel at understanding people and even possibly helping them understand themselves.
Starry starry night 💫
It is our duty to spiritualize the periodic table
Carbon, the bridge, that which can be anything, the bond maker, the peace bringer, it of substance and warmth and strength and body
Oxygen, the destroyer, it who breaks and it who breaks and it who burns, the spark of the entropy that is life
Hydrogen, the pure, the begining, it who made all else, the one point kept, the capper of carbons ends, the ignition of oxygens fire
You. You get me.

So recently I made some rose water for Aphrodite :) Well in honor of her this April. So this is my How to and What Rose water is good for etc. Enjoy!!
*****************************************************************************************
Rose Water is water with roses infused into it through cooking on the stove, microwave etc. It is technically a type of tea, but has many uses for beauty and health.
There are many sources out there on google and on tumblr if you don’t like mine. For the most part I make mine like this:
While rare, you may get some side effects from rose water if you digest or use it on your skin, which can include, but may not be limited to(always do a patch test if you plan to use it on your skin) Go to a doctor if you have these symptoms and they worsen after usage as you may have signs of an allergic reaction:
With Medicine:
Fever, tightness in the throat or chest, trouble in talking, swallowing, breathing, wheezing, unusual hoarseness, swelling of the face, mouth, throat, tongue, or lips
In the Kitchen:
Can affect the digestion system and can cause similar issues like when you take medicine
Hair Care:
Can lead to hair damage if it is over used
Skin Care:
Can Cause rashes, hives, itching, peeling skin, swelling to the face/skin
