To the Over-Giving Matriarch:
You are allowed to say no
without explaining yourself.
You are allowed to discipline
without remorse.
over-giving is not love.
It is survival adaptation
dressed up as
“I am a good mother” devotion.
You are allowed to live
without sacrificing yourself.

The Over-Giving Matriarch didn’t choose exhaustion.
She chose survival.
And somewhere between then and now, Survival became personality.
Pour a libation for the over-giving matriarchs in your lineage.
May they finally rest.

Mercury is a Roman road deity.
My Ancestors were watching the moon, the land, the water, and the crossroads.
Different cosmology.
Different interpretation.
Hoodoo Skywatch ≠ panic astrology.

You lit a road opener. Then stood in the doorway afraid to walk through.
The door is still open, baby.
Walk through.
Love your Ancestors 🕯️
Ancestral Psychology
Low Country basket weaving was never just art.
It was an Ancestral communication tool.
Fanner baskets. Winnowing baskets.
Sweetgrass, palmetto, pine needles.
Low Country descendants still weave.
Still carry the Ancestors’ hands, prayers, and messages.

Before Black church denominations, there were Praise Houses.
Black-governed spiritual spaces.
Spiritual governance came first,
before choosing a religion.
Black History 365.
Black people, may you find your joy…
A joy that endures.
Hoodoo doesn’t bypass pain.
It supports healing
without skipping self responsibility.
Anything promising relief without that
is lying.

Your crown is your glory.
If you can’t sit with your own head,
You can’t hold money, love,
or protection work with integrity.
Crown work comes first.
Take care of your CROWN!

They will remember him forever
To the smaller creators whose work is being lifted without credit!
A lot of people with bigger audiences get “rewarded” for ideas they didn’t originate, straight stealing
It's important to protect your content intellectually AND spiritually
Hoodoo your everyday life, y'all.

What colonial beliefs do you remind yourself to release?
Evening Decree:
I let go of the colonial ideas that taught me that my Ancestors are evil.
No matter how long I practice, I keep this as a reminder.

Famous for his quote, reminding us all “Violence is as American as cherry pie." Jamil Abdullah al-Amin
A giant has transitioned.
A man who carried liberation in his bones.
“Violence is as American as cherry pie."
May he rest well

I keep a Bible in one hand.
I keep my Roots in my other hand.
God in me, Ancestors in the bones.
May you remember the Hoodoo your people carried.

I am sooooo excited.

Remember to rest and go to bed early as often as you can during this Retrograde
Goodnight, Sweet Souls
May your Ancestors cover you while you rest.
May your dreams be gentle and guide you.
May your bones and your mind finally exhale.
Rest is for our protection.
Rest is a prayer in action
Rest is holy.
Love,
YJ 🕊️🤍
Sweet Souls,
Sometimes you don’t need to perform a new ritual.
Or leave another offering.
Or do any more spiritual work.
Sometimes you need a real week off.
To cool your waters.
To let your work actually work.
Rest is part of a healthy Spiritual practice.

Hoodoo, Rootwork, has always been a safe place for ALL Black People!
We never needed your letters, pronouns, or bedroom business
What we need …… is your love for your Ancestors and Black Liberation
Some of y’all need to go back to the colonializers' church with all these exclusionary regulations
“Taurus Full Moon aftercare: reviewing, revising, your boundaries are a love language.”
Blessed Hearth Medic.
Ancestors, I am grateful to you.

I give praise to all the Saints and holy helpers who crossed the Kalûnga line.
Not just the canonized ones of the church, I give praise to all the Hoodoo Saints, known and unknown, who lit lamps so we could see freedom.
I thank you.
May your names never be forgotten.

Yes, that is beautiful because memories are gifts that keep giving
Christmas fuels corporate capitalism
I'm referring to Christmas in the USA. If we want actual change, we need to reimagine how Christmas looks, not with expensive gifts, and spending at the same corporations that are killing true democracy
What are your thoughts on holiday reimagined this year?
