THE RECORD OF NOVEMBER: IN VAIN
Playing cards come solely as triggers for my ancestral spirits' words, but they especially like to come with poetry + embedded codes when divining this way.
Let us see what they have to say to us (me, Black people, the world) today.
•••••••••••••••••
ACE OF ♠️
Where are you located at in your heart right now?
In your mind?/your place of intellect? Be grateful for who you are, and all of the decisions that you make. The thoughts that you come across are not all yours, but they are all worthy of being considered, of being valued, of being understood. The ones that seek to crush your spirit can be ignored, but they can also be thoroughly examined. For what they tell us is the truth we need to hear, deep and encoded in this/its vortex of lies.
What do we mean to ourselves?
Who do we really need to be in this world?
And why do we keep listening to others command us to tell our stories in vain?
Where is the sacredness,
the community,
the gratitude,
the honoring of every person's story?
Be mindful of the mind and how it can affect you. Be mindful of the wins and how it can affect you. Be willing to accept that your order may not (ever) be the way. Willing to sacrifice what is (or feels like) yours. Let your arms be open to receive something new.

2 OF ♣️
Zero grams of silence, and zero grains of rice.
Stock up on your currency + meaningful notions of abundance. Your friends, your love's love, your science of it all.
There is greatness to come, and it won't come from you being outside, but being back in. Stay and figure out what you must do to survive the harvest, and survive thee new collections. Death is on her way, and she is not smiling.
But you can be.
It's okay to relax. Just do it in/behind closed doors, and watch who watches you (the babies included).
Mind yours.
