The Rider Waite Smith tarot deck, originally published in 1910, was illustrated by Pamela Colman-Smith. Although she is quoted as saying the project was "a very big job for very little cash," in the hundred-plus years since the deck was published, it has become the gold standard for tarot readers all over the world. It is by far the most popular tarot deck ever created, and is considered the most basic and important unit of tarot reading to build upon.
Although the deck was meant to showcase universal archetypes to spark the subconscious mind of every man and woman regardless of race -- and although Colman-Smith was a bi-racial woman of color who spent her early life living in Jamaica, she was paid to draw scenes depicting only whites...

Those who believe tarot cards are evil, quote the bible for proof. They will tell you, "You can only enter the narrow gate; the highway to hell is broad & its gate is wide for there are many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow, & the road is difficult & only a few ever find it." Interesting. If I was looking for a narrow, difficult path that only a few ever find, it seems to me I'd have to do a LOT of looking, seeking, searching, climbing, falling, getting lost & found again, and most importantly, thinking for MYSELF. I think if I was pretty comfortable, surrounded by a bunch of other people who showed up (right on time!) when they were told, where they were told (even got a great parking spot!), all saying the same thing (Amen!), from the same page in the same book... that I might should turn myself around and read some different books. Learn some new key words. Gather around some new gates. Unlock some new understandings. But don't feel bad if you don't want to hear all that. Most folks don't. In fact, only a few of you will want to read this (new) new testament. Only a few. |

Fairytales, while wholesome & entertaining, sometimes do us a disservice because they enforce self-defeating behaviors that can low-key fuck up our lives.
Take Cinderella for example; you have a girl who was a slave to others, demeaned, ridiculed, gaslit & abused; in a desperate attempt to reclaim her autonomy she violated her morals to deceive her captors, inadvertently also deceiving the one person who could & would love her for who she truly is.
Glass slipper, good old fashioned determination & happy ending aside, we often overlook the most important part of the story: these hoes were running Cinderella ragged in her own damn house. Check the facts- her stepmother & step sisters were inherited from her father's marriage. When her father died, even though the house "technically" belonged to his wife, ACTUALLY it was Cinderella's home too & she "technically" had the right to take no shit & tell those hoes to stfu. But instead of shifting into bitch mode & plotting to reclaim her estate, she defaulted to people pleasing, singing to birds, crying in her pillow & complaining to imaginary friends. Sometimes being sweet & selfless to others equals being absent & neglectful of yourself.
This month, we may find ourselves in situations where we feel victimized; it will seem easier to give up & disassociate rather than boss up & assert our authority. The universe is confronting us with our perceived powerlessness so that we'll snap out of it & realize its "technically" an illusion. We are being forced to exercise our rights because "technically" we've never learned to stand up for ourselves & demand respect. In fact we've been fairytale trained to do the opposite: cower, hide, lie, wish, hope, deceive, disappear- with the magical belief that these elements will somehow alchemize into rescue.
But chile ain't nobody coming, at least nobody you want. People who are in the business of rescue are "technically" slave catchers, presenting themselves as charming problem-solvers so that you will gladly leave one cage & willingly enter another. This month its best you solve your own problems, lest you start looking for pumpkin carriages, fairy godmothers & solutions from the sky. If you must play a role in a fairy tale, be the wise neighbor side-eyeing the glittery slave girl singing to mice instead of clapping back at her tormentors.
For the next 30 days, if you want to walk tall amongst the freemen, the only person you can rely on is Bippity-Boppity YOU.
