Reclining Nude By Alphonse Lecadre (1870)

Sun darakaraka?

Sun darakaraka would give partner quintessential Leo traits. They are a good leader, royal being and someone who is loyal. They could be confident, fun loving and charming. They are amiable and social and a very party person. They have the centre stage presence. Could be a performer. Have artistic tendencies. Maybe plays an instrument or any music connection. Or just very fond of music. Maybe likes loud music. They could be too proud, arrogant, egotistical and a narc, if sun isn't placed good. Jupiter and Mars are friends of Sun so if they form association, they will help the dk. They could have a prominent leo in their chart or a prominent sun in their chart. Or their Atmakaraka could be sun. Sun is also associated with politics in vedic, so maybe has an political connection. They could be very controlling and authoritative even. Have high self worth, doesn't like if their integrity is questioned. Could be expressive, and dramatic. Dependable even. The sign it's in could help determine their nature more. If sun is good, fun relationship dynamic. If not the controlling and narc tendencies can cause conflicts.☀️❤️

Common Signs of a Fire Witch

🔥 Very physically active, even if they're not interested in sports. Just has this overwhelming urge to move or fight, and may often get out of bed because of this

🔥 Your body, especially your hands or core, feels very warm. You're like a human heater

🔥 You were particularly energetic as a kid, or even now. You're spunky

🔥 You're very brave, especially with standing up to people

🔥 You prefer cooler temperatures because it doesn’t bother you as much

🔥 You constantly feel hungry, or have an active digestive system and a fast metabolism. You may get acidity or heartburn a lot

🔥 You prefer hot drinks and food over cold ones

🔥 You feel thirst more often than most

🔥 You are energetic, passionate, dramatic and prone to irritability or being emotionally volatile

🔥 You are very eloquent and expressive, and often may talk too much or too quickly

🔥 You’ve been praised for your leadership ability

🔥 You are very very curious, and may be easily distracted

🔥 You suffer from: anxiety, insomnia, circulatory issues like anemia and palpitations, dizziness or light-headedness, inflammation, skin rashes, aches and pains, loneliness or are easily overwhelmed

Ways to bond with Fire

🔥 Teach yourself not to fear it, or at least not too much. If you’re anything like me, fire kinda scares you, despite your connection to it. Light a candle and meditate, and teach yourself that fire is a part of you, so you shouldn’t fear it without reason.

🔥 If you’re an artist, try using charcoal pencils more often

🔥 Meditate with candles

🔥 Drink warm soup or tea (don’t burn your mouth though)

🔥 Release your passion and/or anger. I recommend getting a punching bag for when you’re feeling particularly riled up

🔥 Working out, or any other activities that make you sweat

🔥 Burn Bay Leaves with wishes on them to make them come true

🔥 Get a Himalayan Salt Lamp. Don’t use it if you have pets though, as it might harm them

🔥 Use a Heating Pad when you’re in pain

🔥 Take time to notice your body heat more often. Appreciate how warm your skin and breath feels

🔥 Pursue your passions, whatever those might be. If it makes you passionate, go for it. Fire is the element of not holding back

🔥 Channel your passion and especially your anger into productivity rather than pain

🔥 Drink tea with warm spices

🔥 Eat spicy food if you can handle it

🔥 Be brave in all things

🔥 Use more Dragon imagery in your life

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 🕯️💀

I didn’t think I could like him anymore then I do but I guess that was a lie. 😍😍😍

🌠 Miscellaneous Thoughts 🌌

It contains +18 themes❤️‍🔥

Usually Pisces mars or Pisces placements are (in)famous for being a fetishist; but personally I found more subtle placements in Pisces liking feets, like Lilith, Eros, asteroid Lust or Mars being aspected by Neptune. Also to some degree even placements in Aquarius but mostly Capricorn could have a liking for legs and feets.

Talking about legs; Sagittarius and Libra placements have the biggest love for tights and butt. They love to touch or being touched in those area.

About butt, I've noticed that Virgo sun males like anal sex, low-key obsessed with. The type to ask you to do it or just playing around trying to understand if you're down for it or nah.

Leo venus + Scorpio placement (s) tend to be so obsessed or lovesick with their partner, but also they tend to be overwhelming and usually suspects the partner of cheating or having another lover. In some cases it happens; what they fear materializes which leave them even more possessive and paranoid.

Scorpio moons are so good at reading people except when it comes to best friends or lovers, unless you're hella obvious. They can create a psychological profile of every person they take interest or interact with.

Mutable risings are so chill and playful, the type to scam you (if they wished) without you thinking twice or doubting them in some way.

Furthermore mutable risings are so theatral lmao, they're such good actors but usually they act to make a good impression (because anxiety) or just for fun <3

Can we talk about Gemini rising beauty? So charismatic and pixie like even men, like damn so charming and their smile? Absolutely stunning and attractive.

Virgo men sun are definitely a practical "sugar daddy" placement, the type to buy stuff or gifts you need; like a new bag, shoes or stuff like this. Rarely they'll give you money, and usually they give you money only if you need it, like for rent or groceries. Always for necessities, never for pleasure/vices.

Leo sun men with Virgo venus tends to cheat, a lot. I've meet so many man with this placements, that at this point I can say with certainty that it's a fucking pattern. I'm sorry for their wives.

Cardinal venusians love with intensity and it's really sexy. They can be really slow or really fast. In my opinion and experience they can be very compatible and have a more deep connection with other cardinal venusians. The type to seriously think about marriage.

Man with mars/jupiter aspects 🔥🥵 kinky, high sex appeal, usually lasts a lot, multiple times, leaning to Dom and BDSM even a Libra mars can be your "Daddy/Master"

Capricorn mars are the type to look for mastering positions, tongue technology (🤭), and whatever pleases their partner or them.

Cancer mars aren't so loyal or clingy as portraid, they can be very selfish and prone to enjoy multiple partners, always acting like a loyal puppy in front of their lovers, particularly men.
