I love my mutuals that have clearly done the nitty-gritty studying to be the kind of christian blogs they are. Their takes are great 10/10.

But I need my followers to know that my takes are 100% based on the Bible (and the historical context that goes along with that) and my own life experiences trying to see God in everyone/the ways God has talked to me.

Like I love that y’all can quote centuries old philosophers and monks. I, on the other hand, am gonna quote the homeless guy I met on the street because what he said about the prison system radically informed me how to love better.

When my communist-Christian hot takes leave my communist-Christian bubble on tumblr and now people are arguing left and right in the reblogs. (I am currently realizing why hot takes are called hot takes)

Like babes I was just talking about how capitalism destroyed Christian tradition… why are we fighting?

Soooo, Christmas snuck up on me like a thief in the night. If Chrismas was my opp, I'd be rolled in Santa's blunt currently.

I'm shifting the cards of the day schedule to accommodate the holidays, and then I will take a break from MWF messages until the second week of January.

I do have some New Year's Day content for you though. It just won't be a card of the day.

Ever think about how Mary wouldn’t be able to make the Journey to Bethlehem today because of the apartheid walls? How if Jesus started his teaches today he would be trapped in a segregated state?

When I was new and unstudied in the esoteric arts, I excelled because of...I would say four things:

1) Intention

2) Intuition

3) A thirst for *correct* knowledge

4) A willingness to get my hands dirty and make my own products

I’m just going to say this, I’m actually pretty afraid if anyone thinks I am in the wrong in this, but many of you know that I am a huge advocate for Palestinians and for the cease-fire and the total liberation of the Middle East, however, many of y’all who voted third party, this was NOT THE ELECTION to vote for third party! I know that many of us want to dismantle the two party system and a free Palestine but this election was really important for many marginalized communities. I hope y’all know what this means for so many of us, for women, for people of color, for the lgbtq community, for immigrants!!! I am disappointed in many of you. BECAUSE many of those votes could have helped Kamala and yes I know the Democratic Party are hypocrites and very pro Israel. “ Kamala isn’t a perfect candidate either” YES WE KNOW and I will admit that however I had hopes that if Kamala Harris won that all of us would nonstop demand a ceasefire under her presidency. We had an opportunity to make a greater change under her. Now that Trump won how can we help Palestinians if we can’t even help ourselves under his regime?

Fight trump and the far right, ORGANIZE, PROTEST & STRIKE AGAINST THE WHOLE SYSTEM!

Remember to build community, support each other and look after each other 🫶

Today's message of the day is a bit of a warning against using drugs to achieve altered states of consciousness in attempts to have a spiritual experience. Not only can this be dangerous, but the things you experience are very likely to be hallucinations.

Allow me to be very clear: If you have to use drugs to induce what you think is a spiritual experience, then you aren't ready.

This is dangerous. It leaves you spiritually vulnerable, and depending on the drug used or amount taken, you could be at physical risk as well.

Today, I'm largely speaking of psilocybin or "magic mushrooms."

There are cultures in the world who know how to use this safely for spiritual experiences or ceremonies. We do not live in one of those cultures.

Most of us have never been taught proper processes and precautions.

If you decide to do this in the US, UK, Canada, or any similar place that does not typically have many shamans you can trust to safely guide you through this journey, I want you to understand the dangers you face.

Nothing you experience is real, and this unprotected state of altered consciousness leaves you vulnerable to meeting tricksters or being attached to by malevolent/parasitic entities that will follow you back into the waking world.

Using drugs to achieve spiritual experiences is dangerous. Period.

Including alcohol and cannabis.

Depending where you live, those things may be legal, and it can be safe to enter the spiritual realm. But proper safety precautions must be taken.

Anytime you open a portal, whether through divination or indulging in substances, you are putting yourself at risk.

And if you don't know what safety precautions to take, then you don't have any business doing it.

Praying for your health and safety 🙏🏼
