New to Hoodoo cartomancy and don’t know where to start? Here are the card meanings I suggest for all fifty-four playing cards as a professional card reader!

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 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!

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.

Whether you’re interested in rootwork, herbalism, Hoodoo, playing card cartomancy, tarot, or dream interpretation, I have only one thing to say: welcome!

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
