Homegrown Hoodoo (2025)

20/01/2025

If y’all will notice, I skipped over the Wheel to show you Strength and Justice and to allow y’all to decide which one should come first.

Already, yesterday’s post is one of the most popular yet. Nothing like putting everyone on blast to get people interested. Gossip Queens hooked on the tea.

The Wheel — YOU WON’T SEE THIS COMING, BUT HERE’S YOUR TEST. WILL YOU PASS IT, OR WILL YOU NEED TO REPEAT THE LESSON.

Remember what I said about pointing that finger to yourself first? I gave those Gurus multiple chances to do the right thing. I apologized over and over, even though I had done nothing wrong. A mortgage loan officer and a real estate agent bullied me. Called me absurd and a washed up has been.

I told y’all I set a trap. Did you really think you weren’t part of this whole teachable moment? Here, you too, we’re given a second chance to do the right thing. And you failed, miserably. Seriously, if your ego can’t allow you to do the most simple of things like thumbs up a post, what the f**k are we even doing here? And I don’t mean that from a place of anger, I mean it because y’all show me that you are a waste of my time.

The card up after the Wheel is the Hanged Man. I’ll go ahead and cover it quickly as well, since it doesn’t need a whole lot of talking over. Here is where we realize OUR LIFE IS COMPLETELY FU**ED UP. Life choices and repetitive actions keep us stuck in the same tired ass, destructive circles (WHEEL) and we’re finally realizing if we ever want to be or have anything in life, we better get busy turning things around. Hanged Man — PEOPLE NEED TO RESOLVE THEIR ISSUES PERSONALLY, AND THIS IS GOING TO TAKE A WHILE.

711/717 — people will show you who they are through their words, behaviors, actions and reactions. 929 — a relationship is ending. My recent stalker numbers. You all have disappointed me, and I don’t want to do this anymore.

May God bless and keep each of you, always. Sincerely, babes. Ase

Oh, babies. The tangled webs we weave. I needed material for a teachable moment, and so I went trigger trolling and set a trap. I admit, it was very 7 of Swords of me, but at no point did I coerce anyone into taking the bait or dug the hole they found themselves in. False prophets that talk a lot about nothing and publicly shame others just because they can be a keyboard bully. And they’re supposed to be influencers. I keep telling y’all, that Devil comes humble in his approach.

JUSTICE — REMOVE EMOTIONAL TRIGGERS, LOOK AT THINGS HONESTLY, REMIND FOLKS YOU HAVE VALUE AND NOT TO BE PLAYED WITH. AND MEAN IT.

But as you begin to point fingers, make sure you turn them on yourself first. Doesn’t matter what another has done. The way people treat us is their karma. The way we respond is ours.

This really is my paid house with a $32k roof. I really am a carpenter. And this really is my cowboy. The haters will always hate, but we choose what chaos we do and don’t want in our lives.

A cowboy from Kansas rode into town disguised as a Tesla engineer. He showed up like a Morgan Wallen song, told me I was super dope and asked how I felt about him changing my name. And I told him I kinda like the sound of that. So now I humbly fall before y’all and any good spirits listening and sincerely ask for the STRENGTH to not go and f**k it all up. To be JUST and fall on the sword when I come up short, so I may preserve the good that sustains me. Cause I worked too hard for this one to let some old hurts or haters destroy it all.

What comes first babies? Taming our destructive ways or holding others accountable for theirs? Many times, it depends on our personal stage of growth and is why depending on the deck, these are flip flopped. Either way, both a required if we ever want to turn things around and free ourselves of self imposed traps and empty holes.

May God bless and keep you always, angels. Ase

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that yesterday’s post was not my most popular by any stretch of the imagination. Don’t worry, babies. I have placed myself in a much needed time out to reflect on my behavior and what would ever provoke me to make such poor choices and lash out the way I did. The Hermit. IT’S TIME TO DO SOME REAL SOUL SEARCHING. But as you do and seek guidance from others to help you on your path, BE MINDFUL OF FALSE PROPHETS.

On soulful level, the cards speaks of a time to go inward and really get to the root an issue — what makes us do the things we do, and what behaviors do we need to modify moving forward. But this card brings warnings as well. It’s a lot of snake oil salesmen out there, ladies, who have a way of preying on the weak. Kinda like a man who dominates a women’s group and monetizes victim shaming through humiliation and degradation tactics. You know, in essence trauma bonding his constituents to him.

And you can take that same advice and apply it to all the relationships in your life, whether platonic or romantic. Take the time to understand your hurts, what caused them, what you need to sustain you, and what you are no longer willing to put up with ever again in your life. And if you find yourself drawn to someone, make sure they practice what they preach before becoming invested. Because as you’ll see with the next post, everyone is about to be held accountable, including ourselves.

May God bless and keep you always, babies. Ase

The second triad, where it all goes to s**t. First card up, Strength. I’m gonna be brutally honest with y’all. As a whole, y’all are a totally and completely uninspiring group. FB shows me how many views each posts gets; and when you see HUNDREDS of views per post and only a handful of regular people engage, it makes one card come to mind — 2 of Pentacles — why are you helping the ungrateful? And in addition, I go back to the site we all came from, and the supposed gurus on that page, suddenly they’ve adopted a style that mimics my own and throw some made up catch phrase of “Tarot verbatim” and start writing books. And that brings that same 2 back to the light again. Protect your secrets and use what you know for yourself first. But hey, like they say, imitation is the best form of flattery; so let me say I am honored.

Hmmm. That was a whole bomb right there, wasn’t it, babies. And how the hell does that even begin to relate to Strength? IT’S TIME TO TAME THOSE DESTRUCTIVE WAYS. And as you can see by me going all scorched earth, I did intentionally what we all do subconsciously. When we feel used up and attacked, it is almost instinctual to strike back, as the lion in this card would, even when we know the fallout will be disastrous and how our acting in haste could ruin everything we’ve built. How we handle and delegate power speaks volumes over our character. Where our power should come from a place of spiritual purity that allows the things that sustain to enter our lives, the reality is most people find their power through force, control, theft, jealousy and greed. And these poor choices ultimately show the world who we really are, imitators and haters who go around pretending to be what they’re not instead of looking inward to see what it is inside of themselves that causes them to destroy everyone and everything around them. And, babies, we’re only getting started. Cause it only gets worse from here.

As always, babes. Ase

We made it through the first triad, babies. Let me explain to y’all exactly what that means. Remember, the Fool is a wild card. He can appear anywhere, at any given moment and reflects what’s going on in your life at the time. Taking him out the equation, we are left with 21 cards. Break those down into three rows of 7, and you have the triads of the Majors.

The first triad, the Magician through the Chariot are those base needs, skills and nurturing we need to grow into healthy, successful, good humans. In a perfect world, we would understand our worth (Magician), trust our instincts (Priestess), grow up with loving and attentive parents (Empress/Emperor), have a strong moral foundation (Hierophant), find and foster deep, loving relationships (Lovers) and find all the material success and comfort we need in life (Chariot). And in a perfect world, this is where Tarot would end. There would be no more cards. End of story.

However, rarely is that the case. The way the significant people in our lives loved us, nurtured us, believed in us, supported us and showed up for us is what ultimately defines us in life, and that is why Tarot is so highly tragic. Tarot is not light and love. In reality, Tarot sheds light on our hurts, flaws, destructive ways, shadows and those repetitive cycles that tear us down. If a person’s base needs (Root Chakra) aren’t met, nothing else can prosper effectively. And most people carry some kind of wounds or trauma that impacts the rest of their lives.

You’ll see as we move into the second triad, this is where it all goes to s**t and we realize our life is completely f**ked up. Real talk. Then the third is where we turn things around and begin our glow up, if we can pass the tests. If we do, the World brings it all to a closure, and we begin again with the Fool. Life is a cycle, babies. And if we apply the lessons properly, the next go around doesn’t have to be so hard. That’s what Tarot is all about.

Babies I’ve been out of touch for a while. I have a tendency to go ghost when life gets a little exciting ☺️, but Happy Solar New Years to you all.

We left off with the Lovers. The Fool has met the love of his life or his toxic crush, and now comes the Chariot. Chariot is a really simple card, overall. Its main message is VICTORY OVER THE OUTER CHALLENGES OF LIFE. In the next post, I am going to break down the triads of the Majors, so you see how they work in stages and phases. But the Chariot represents applying all the lessons learned up until this point. If you look at the card, there are symbols from each Major that comes before it embedded within its imagery. It is the first victory card of the Majors. It’s where we become successful in the material world, maybe not necessarily wealthy, but this is where we have financial security, the great job, the 2.5 kids and the white picket fence. To the outside world, it seems like we’ve got it all together. But notice something, babies. The armor on his shoulders depict the famous stage masks of tragedy and comedy that represents the ups and downs of life experiences. And those sphinxes that have no reigns and seem to almost go in opposite directions symbolizing holding it together on sheer will alone. So take note if this card comes up in a relationship spread, as it may be hinting to a man who appears to have his life in order and the status and stature we imagine with success, but between those masks lies an impassive face. Has he risen above the highs and lows and found his balance in life? Or is he just wearing another mask?

May God bless and keep you always, babies. Ase

Babies, I have to admit. This one has been completely uninspiring for me. The card everyone thinks is so dope, but in reality is the worst card in the deck. The Lovers.

I’m not a huge fan of repeating myself, and I don’t mean that in some kinda way. I mean it as I take a stance in life to stand on my word, I don’t explain myself to people, and I mean what I say. Period. And babies, I sincerely hope you have adopted this same attitude as well. And if you haven’t, then the Lovers is a good indicator that it’s time.

If you scroll back through the history of this page, I went into extremely long and detailed meaning for the Lovers. Those who really want to understand this card will find the post. It was a comparison of the Lovers and the 2 of Cups. THE ONLY LOVE CARD IN THE ENTIRE DECK. There are only 78 cards to cover every, single, solitary human condition. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there was no space to dedicate half the deck to “love.”

I’m a truth speaker. For better or worse babies, the one thing you can always count on me for is honesty. If you’re on the group page, you know I don’t have secrets. I’ve been through the absolute worst of the worst. And I’m not gonna give a rundown here because no one should be competing for who had the most s**t men in their life. There is no glory in being abused, cheated on, lied to, manipulated, robbed, imprisoned, single motherhood, none of it. Believe me, I know what I’m talking about.

And so what does all this have to do with the Lovers? In an ideal world, we meet a man, he loves us, protects us, provides for us, meets our emotional and physical needs and we have babies and live happily ever after. But real life shows you if you really believe that’s how real life works, you’re living in a fantasy world and bless you, sweetheart. Life is about to show you wtf it’s really made of.

The Lovers is simple. WILL YOU CHOOSE VIRTUE? OR WILL YOU CHOOSE VICE?

As always babes. Ase

Babies, we’ve talked about the Empress, Emperor, Hierophant and next up is the Lovers. Y’all, I see so many super sad posts on the other site we all came from. There is a part of me that wants to help, the Hierophant in me, but also knows it is a waste of my time and effort. I don’t brag on myself a lot, I don’t find value in pointing out people’s flaws, but I am one of the best you’ll ever meet when it comes to reading cards accurately and for what they are; and some of these cards on there, man, these girls are in some highly f**ked up situations and my heart sincerely goes out to them. But babies, be careful who you help. Be slow to judge and be mindful of what you do with other people’s secrets. Who is the teacher of teachers? The teacher themself. Know that what you speak over another, you are next in line to receive. So be careful about investing in readings that are highly tragic and have little room for change as you could meet the same fate.

I watched this movie on Netflix. Everyone watch it. Make your sons watch it. Make your daughters watch it. When people think of abuse, they imagine it as very blatant and in your face. But this movie right here shows you the true face of violence. The Devil comes humble in his approach, babies.

May God bless and keep you always, angels. Ase

The Fool now goes to church and learns what it means to be a good person by giving himself to the blessings and wisdom of the Hierophant, God’s chosen representative on Earth. The person who has the wisdom and experiences to pass on the mysteries to which they’ve been initiated. In older decks he’s known as the Pope, symbolizing that though he may help anyone, only the worthy are given his secrets.

In readings the Hierophant is a tricky one. You’ll see this in a few cards as we go along. In very general readings, especially if you’re asking what you should do, the Hierophant’s message is pretty clear — it’s time to do the right thing.

But in more complex situations, its meaning can go a few ways. Religion and politics are as old as time. Laws based on “God’s” teachings, indoctrination as a way to make citizens compliant and obedient, religious institutions exempt from taxation and government interference. Point being, churches are powerful institutions all in themselves. They hold land, wealth and even get to judge you in the afterlife. And rarely does that kind of power remain pure. They are still ran by people, and people innately are always out for themselves.

When reading on relationships, it can point to a man being married or a man tied in a situation he’s not crazy about but is doing what is socially expected. But it can also be a card of manipulation. The Church threatens you with hell and chooses who it will help and support and who it deems unworthy. So this card also represents greed and condemnation and how PEOPLE WILL TAKE WHAT YOU HAVE/KNOW AND USE IT AGAINST YOU and represents a GOAL THAT WILL REQUIRE A LOT OF SACRIFICE AND KEEPING YOUR EGO IN CHECK. Be careful who you share with, babies, because you may be setting the trap for your own demise.

So now the Fool hangs with Dad and learns what it means to be a leader in life. The Emperor is a card of power, but how well we utilize that power often determines whether or not we are able to keep our crown.

In a personal reading, if you are a female, this is a highly fortuitous card to receive. The Emperor as a reflection of a woman says that she straight up isn’t having it anymore. Tired of the bs, she’s laying down the law and removing anything or anyone that’s holding her back or keeping her down. Generally it’s not under the best conditions; but when it all goes to s**t, would you rather be a victim or be empowered? Empowerment, please.

In readings involving a man, this can go many ways. In an ideal world, the Emperor represents the true Alpha male. He puts the needs of his family before his own, and he is fearless and above reproach in all ways. But to expect this to be the norm every time is living in a fantasy world, girls, and what you find is that common traps like greed, power, control and even improper sexual relationships have a way of becoming dominant things in relationships involving powerful men. And I’m not gonna hate. There is nothing I love more than a take charge man. But you have to watch this card, babies. When combined with other powerful male cards, it points to a more ruthless side. With the Wands King he can be super aggressive, controlling, dominating and even abusive. Swords King mentally dominating and abusive, always chopping you off at the knees when he doesn’t get his way. Cups King a moody as***le with a drinking problem that blames everyone for his problems. The Pentacles King, all this s**t is mine and you better know your place around here. But regardless, the main thing you need to know when this card comes up is this: THIS IS A TIME WHERE SOLID BOUNDARIES ARE REQUIRED FOR THINGS TO ACTUALLY WORK.

The Fool now meets Mommy, and here is where he either learns what it means to and be loved and nurtured. Or he gets his first dose of a hard core wound. Like it or not, the way our mothers loved us or failed to do so plays a significant role throughout our entire life.

We all know the textbook definitions of the Empress — mother, pregnancy, fertility, calling in the blessings, blah, blah, blah. Sure, these are real meanings. But every time you get the Empress it doesn’t mean someone is pregnant, but you can be assured that a mother influence is somewhere in this situation. This one can actually go a few ways; so like always, be objective and look at the cards surrounding it to really get your answer, but these will be the biggies:
1. Relationship readings that have cards like 7 swords, Lovers, Hierophant — your man has a wife and family. When this card shows up for a man, it’s generally pointing to his wife or mother. So pay attention, girls. It’s not talking about you unless you’re his baby mama.
2. Relationship readings that have cards like 4 of Cups, 6 of Cups, your man has severe “mommy” issues that keep him from being able to open his heart to love. Y’all remember Jason? He should be the poster child for this combo.
3. And this is the big one right here. A RELATIONSHIP THAT IS COMPLETELY UNSUSTAINABLE BECAUSE ONE PERSON EXPECTS THE OTHER TO FIX ALL THEIR PROBLEMS AND BE ENDLESSLY AVAILABLE TO THEM. Y’all know these types. Mamas boys or those desperate for “love” who just drain the s**t out of you because they have become more your child than your man. This case right here is usually the biggest take away you’ll find when you just need to know something. He’s an emotional drain; and if you’re not careful, y’all are gonna slip into some of that good ole codependency and other kinds of unhealthy power dynamics if some strong boundaries aren’t established and respected soon.

May God bless and keep you always, babies. Ase

07/12/2024

The Fool has learned how to apply all he has within to be successful in life, and now he meets the High Priestess who shows him what it means to trust and believe in yourself and your own wisdom. Y’all know I follow Yoruba, and divination plays a big role in this religion. Imagine going to church and the priest rolls some shells and tells you your destiny. Ifa divination is extremely complex. Tarot has 78 cards. Ifa has 257 signs that might arise in a reading, and these signs are called Odu. It is the energy of creation unfolding and is a work of magick in itself, as it allows a person to consciously align with what is going on around them. Ifa divination ends with the question, “is everything ebo ada?” Or “Has everything that needs to be said been said?” This is the Priestess. When doing that soul searching, she comes along to remind you to sit back and allow the messages to come, that control is an illusion but effort and attention will win every time.

But what about when we just need to know something? Is this guy right for me? Is this job good for me? Is everything ebo ada? There can be no guarantee in life that everything is going to be fine; we can only take the info we’ve been given and apply it as best we can to get the results we want. So when the Priestess shows up, and you just really need an answer, her message is this: it is through our own wisdom that we overcome the problems in life and ACCEPT WHAT IS BEYOND CHANGE.

You babies will see as we take this little journey that Tarot is more depressing than it is happy. Most of the cards highlight the destructive side of human nature and the hurts, wounds and how our shadows subconsciously destroy our blessings. It can be grim, but when you begin to learn their language, it really will begin to highlight where your weaknesses are, where you keep going wrong, the cycles you continue to play on repeat; and applied correctly, how to overcome them.
