mrigashira nakshatra:

the fifth constellation— (23°20 to 6°40) taurus-gemini.

symbol: deer head 🦌

animal: female serpent

ruler: mars

these individuals seem to always be on the ‘chase’ or journey to seek what life has to offer them. the way they think is profound in a way because they are never really satisfied with the knowledge they accumulate in this present moment, making them used to the act of getting the answers that they both need and want.

the mind here is inclined in thinking of bigger and better solutions, ideas, etc. the search never ends with this nak. these people don’t really have a clue as to what it’s like to be in a fixated/stable situation or relationship. they have a tendency of thinking that the people around them have a motive against them.

mrigashira’s absolutely love being in the limelight, especially in front of cameras. they crave the attention. things such as multitasking, communication, curiosity and artistic ability are more emphasized here. they have the ability to learn different things in a very quick way, but just don’t want to go through the process.

these are the types of people that tend to ask the most complex questions known to man. they truly desire to know the reasoning behind their existence. the ones who consistently ask “why..?” to everything they were taught or told about their reality.

mrigashira are connected with themes of stalking and infatuation. (mentioned this on my tiktok, which includes more detail..) will ask you every question in the book upon first meeting—have a tendency to pry themselves into other lives. they want to be around people and learn how their mind functions. if you think about it, the more connections you have with people, the more knowledge and or resources one can gain within their life which can really benefit a person. for shorter terms, they are extremely clever with the type of people they associate themselves with, usually individuals that can get them ‘higher’.

the curiousness is everlasting. those with this nak prominent in their chart like the idea of jumping into tasks that require days worth of learning about and just do it without really knowing the accurate way of performing whatever it is they want to do. just like how deer run out in the middle of the road unexpectedly.

Sabbat Birthday Superstitions

I thought it might be fun for Imbolc to gather some superstitions for anyone with a birthday on one of the Sabbats. I included dates for both Northern and Southern Hemisphere. These are all from a book called All One Wicca: A Study in the Universal Eclectic Tradition of Wicca by Kaatryn MacMorgan. I’m not necessarily saying that any of this is true or good, I’m just posting it for anyone who is interested. 

Yule (20-22 December or 20-22 June)

A child born on Yule is said to have the power of the Sun God, and the mother is said to be blessed too, of especial sacredness are infants with black hair, who are said to have the powers of the storms, and very pale children born on Yule are said to come from the womb of the Goddess and be great workers of Magick. Some say the gift child is often a changeling, and will die by spring, but bring great prosperity to the family, not my idea of a Blessing.

Imbolc (1-2 February or 1-2 August)

Children born on Imbolc are said to be the “first children of Spring” and will always be one step ahead of everyone else.

Ostara (19-21 March or 19-21 September)

Children born or conceived on Ostara are said to be healthy, strong, imaginative and “green thumbed.”

Beltane (30 April -1 May or 30 October - 1 November)

Children, especially girls, born on Beltane are the “children of the Goddess,” and children conceived on Beltane are said to have “luck and fortune beyond the world." 

Litha (20 - 22 June or 20 - 22 December)

Children born on the Summer Solstice are supposed to be fiery, smart, strong, temperamental and willful, red haired children born on the Solstice are said to be marked by the Sun King, and will receive special blessings.

Lughnasadh/Lammas (1 - 2 August or 1 - 2 February)

Children born on Lughnasa, like children born on Mabon, are said to be like the crop that is brought in.

Mabon (19 - 21 September or 19 - 21 March)

Children born at Mabon are generally compared to the harvest. If it was good, the child is said the "Grow tall and prosper like the grain,” but a poor season usually boded badly for an infant, not because of his/her date of birth but because of the food supply, and the child was said to be lucky to survive past Yule.

Samhain (30 October - 1 November or 30 April - 1 May)

Children born on Samhain are said to be great in power but attracted to “necromancy, graveyards and other ghoulish things,” and children conceived on Samhain were said to be the incarnations of unsettled dead, so sex on Samhain is fairly taboo.

Hoodoo, Rootwork and Conjure sources by Black Authors

Because you should only ever be learning your ancestral ways from kinfolk. Here's a compilation of some books, videos and podcast episodes I recommend reading and listening to, on customs, traditions, folk tales, songs, spirits and history. As always, use your own critical thinking and spiritual discernment when approaching these sources as with any others.

Hoodoo in America by Zora Neale Hurston (1931)

Mules and Men by Zora Neale Hurston (1936)

Tell my horse by Zora Neale Hurston (1938)

Let Nobody Turn Us Around: An African American Anthology by Manning Marable and Leith Mullings, editors (2003)

Black Magic: Religion and the African American Conjuring Tradition by Yvonne P. Chireau (2006)

African American Folk Healing by Stephanie Mitchem (2007)

Hoodoo Medicine: Gullah Herbal Remedies by Faith Mitchell (2011)

Mojo Workin': The Old African American Hoodoo System by Katrina Hazzard-Donald (2012)

Rootwork: Using the Folk Magick of Black America for Love, Money and Success by Tayannah Lee McQuillar (2012)

Talking to the Dead: Religion, Music, and Lived Memory among Gullah/Geechee Women by LeRhonda S. Manigault-Bryant (2014)

Working the Roots: Over 400 Years Of Traditional African American Healing by Michele Elizabeth Lee (2017)

Barracoon: The Story of the Last "Black Cargo" by Zora Neale Hurston (2018)

Jambalaya: The Natural Woman's Book of Personal Charms and Practical Rituals by Luisa Teish (2021)

African American Herbalism: A Practical Guide to Healing Plants and Folk Traditions by Lucretia VanDyke (2022)

These are just some suggestions but there's many many more!! This is by no means a complete list.

I recommend to avoid authors who downplay the importance of black history or straight out deny how blackness is central to hoodoo. The magic, power and ashé is in the culture and bloodline. You can't separate it from the people. I also recommend avoiding or at the very least taking with a huge grain of salt authors with ties to known appropriators and marketeers, and anyone who propagates revisionist history or rather denies historical facts and spreads harmful conspiracy theories. Sadly, that includes some black authors, particularly those who learnt from, and even praise, white appropriators undermining hoodoo and other african and african diasporic traditions. Be careful who you get your information from. Keeping things traditional means honoring real history and truth.

Let me also give you a last but very important reminder: the best teachings you'll ever get are going to come from the mouths of your own blood. Not a book or anything on the internet. They may choose to put certain people and things in your path to help you or point you in the right direction, but each lineage is different and you have to honor your own. Talk to your family members, to the Elders in your community, learn your genealogy, divine before moving forwards, talk to your dead, acknowledge your people and they'll acknowledge you and guide you to where you need to be.

May this be of service and may your ancestors and spirits bless you and yours 🕯️💀

Breaking NEWS! NY cop allegedly savaged innocent Black youth

Surveillance video has been recently released and clearly showed that a cop assaulted  innocent Black man for his appearance. The victim, 23-year-old Anthony Brown, was brutalized by Sgt. James Nowak from NYPD.

Brownsville, NYC never had a reputation of the low crime rate area, but it’s not an excuse to beat Brown  so severely right on the Blake Ave at 10:34 p.m. for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

Police brutality at its finest. 

Another proof that the police don’t give a damn about Black people, secretly attacking them at night JUST FOR FUN. Luckily, the cop was caught on camera and NOW it’s OUR DUTY to make him receive the punishment he deserves.
