Intuitive Strategies Will Help Us Survive (And Win)

Intuitive strategies for surviving capitalism are the central focus of my work.

Most of the Hoodoo, cartomancy, tarot, intuition, and herbalism courses I’ve found are somehow completely divorced from the reality of the moment. Many readers are too.

My Clients Versus Capitalism

My clients and students are people of integrity, they’re people who strive to live their highest values.

They also have one more thing in common, more often than not:

They’re burnt the fuck OUT!

Why I Do This Work

Turns out most spiritual shops and spiritual spaces more generally are unwelcoming to queer and trans people. And that’s when they’re not openly hostile to us.

What is a Rootworker?

Though a medicinal rootworker may look the same as a clinical or community herbalist to the untrained eye, there are important differences between the work of most rootworkers and that of an herbalist working in another tradition.

Burnout is a Constant Under Capitalism

Burnout is a spiritual problem. Burnout occurs when your spirit asks for ease, and capitalism forces you to say "no."

Capitalism is a spiritual enemy. Capitalism is an enemy of wellness. Capitalism is an enemy of the body itself.

The Ace of Hearts :: The Light

Like a kiss, the Ace of Hearts is a catalyst.

It's among the most blessed cards in cartomancy.

Hearts are the suit of the priest class and human desires. Hearts emphasize the turns of fate around our emotional lives.

Cartomancy as Ancestral Citation

The truth is I've always been able to read without them. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

Its a mark of the lineage. A long conversation between the dead and the living. To work the cards is to remember those who worked the cards.

In Praise of the Herbal Mind Menders

Mind menders are what I call the herbs that keep my mind well enough to go about my daily business. They’re all nervines, many with a tonic function — and they’re soothing to my body/mind as much as my spirit.

Hoodoos: It’s Your Spiritual Obligation to Care about Black Trans People

When you say hoodoo is liberation-centered, that's a promise.

Spiritual Sovereignty: Liberation is a Spiritual Practice

Spiritual sovereignty helps us maintain purpose-driven autonomy despite colonizing forces that work to create god for us in their own image.

Intuitive Strategies for Feeling Free

The opposite of feeling used up, drained, and burnt out is feeling free. There is nothing more intuitive than feeling free.

Working for Liberation, Reading Tarot

You can't read tarot for the purpose of liberation without addressing tarot's relationship to power.

Capitalism, Scarcity, and Tarot Love Readings

In leftist communities, the phrase "scarcity is a myth" is practically an article of faith.

One part self-help, two parts flat out lie, the belief that scarcity doesn't exist gets smeared across a range of scenarios.

Money Work for Anti-Capitalists

Money work, or money magic, is among the top two reasons that people turn to magic. The other, of course, is love.

Houses & Husbands: Working with Saint Joseph

Saint Joseph is generally associated with homeowners, but I doubt he’ll leave us landless millennials to suffer without his care. Here’s how I modified traditional Saint Joseph work to help me as a renter.

3 Elements of Dream Interpretation

The insights I’ve gained by interpreting my dreams, and moreover, by consigning myself to a particular system within dream interpretation have been unparalleled–even by tarot and playing cards.

Skullcap

Skullcap is a nourishing, bitter nervine. It has an affinity for anxious, stressed out folks.
