The Kongo people: Part 3

[spiritualbaetribe]

The greatest miracle Christianity has achieved in America is that the black man in white Christian hands has not grown violent. It is a miracle that 22 million black people have not risen up against their oppressors – in which they would have been justified by all moral criteria, and even by the democratic tradition! It is a miracle that a nation of black people has so fervently continued to believe in a turn-the-other-cheek and heaven-for-you-after-you-die philosophy! It is a miracle that the American black people have remained a peaceful people, while catching all the centuries of hell that they have caught, here in white man’s heaven! The miracle is that the white man’s puppet Negro ‘leaders’, his preachers and the educated Negroes laden with degrees, and others who have been allowed to wax fat off their black poor brothers, have been able to hold the black masses quiet until now.

lunar ritual: breaking vows & welcoming abundance

this is a very effective ritual for creating change in your life. if you’re holding on to doubts about change or fear “losing” people/situations that you’ve become attached to, you may want to gain more certainty and clarity before beginning this process. but…if you’re really ready to release and shift, this is definitely for you. also: i have seen this reversed. some people release on the full moon and give thanks on the new.  this method worked for me, but if your intuition leads you in another direction, follow that. on the new moon…

write/materialize your obstacle list.  what’s in your way? what needs improvement? what’s keeping you from achieving your goal(s)?  it should be made tangible so you can destroy it later. 

prepare for prayer.  ground & protect yourself (visualize being surrounded in pure, brilliant white light from the bottom of your feet to the crown of your head).  open your prayer as you normally would…calling in directions, protective spirits, etc.  you can say your prayer on the morning or night of the new moon, whenever your energy runs highest. 

say the vow break prayer. at the bottom of this entry, i’ve listed the vow break prayer as it appeared on the website i used (if anyone finds it in this language online, let me know). my notes are in brackets.

banish. safely burn your obstacle list, or tear it up.  after your prayer, gather the ashes/pieces and place them on your altar or in your bathroom overnight.  in the morning, drop the ashes/pieces into the toilet, cover them with “first urine”, and flush. 

during the waxing moon…

reflect on what you want to create in the “new” space you’ve created with the obstacle removal. 

take note of your dreams.  visualize. plan. 

give thanks when you see signs of negativity and other unnecessary things leaving your life. 

on the full moon…

give thanks.  you can make a special time to do this, or incorporate it into your typical daily spiritual ritual.  the point is to consciously express gratitude for the obstacles that have been and will be removed through your work. 

write a gratitude list. start each sentence with “i am grateful for…”

have a party! celebrate the fullness and beauty of the moon and yourself.  

~~~~~ VOW BREAK PRAYER [even if you only use their list, still put it on paper.  definitely add obstacles/issues in your own words as needed and necessary. again: be confident that what goes needs to go.]

I rescind any and all vows & contracts I have taken, anyone in this body has taken, and anyone within my genetic lineage has taken pertaining to: Going to sleep and forgetting who I am Participating with limitation Making limitation Real Not following Spirit Not trusting the movement of Spirit Denying karmic interaction Resisting Divinity, Infinity, and Ecstasy Resisting communion with Spirit Resisting full embodiment of Spirit Parasites, fungi, bacteria, microbes, mycoplasma and/or anything else which feeds upon my bodies or beingness which are not in alignment with my highest good… Vows to ignore a given chakra or body Denying the mastery of myself or others Denying the sovereignty of myself or others [add your own language here] I now declare these vows & contracts null and void in this incarnation and all incarnations across space and time, all parallel realities, parallel universes, alternate realities, alternate universes, all planetary systems, all source systems, all dimensions and the Void.

#blackwitchesmatter #stopkillingus #sayhername 💓Rest In Power Erica Garner 🌻🌹🌺 May you know the truth of who we all are and find peace,joy,and wholeness as you transition back home. - Hearing that Erica Garner had a heart attack and then passed,reminded me of my mother,it reminded me of kahlifa Bowden’s mother.Who all I believe passed due to broken hearts. Black women die from heart issues at an alarming rate but why....our Hearts endure so much....weakened by poverty,by misogyny,by abuse,violence,having to grow up to fast,holding up our kids,families + partners, and the world on our shoulders....and add on injustice and the other oppressive systems we endure daily...you get Stress which = inflammation. - We just can’t bear the weight of change alone oppression will slowly kill us.We can’t see more of our brothers and sisters shot down in cold blood,profiled,locked up in jails w/o bail and/or with excessive sentences,and isolated as the new slaves. The stress of injustice has a ripple effect,breaking our hearts and wearing us all down.Sometimes we beat it & sometimes we become shells of who we were. That was my experience after my hearings + sentencing. I will never know how much my experience with injustice impacted my mother or her health but I know it did. - Here we are BIPOC dealing with politics who see our children as monsters.Add on Educational systems that teach our kids how to blindly follow and take orders. Religious systems forced onto us by our oppressors become one of our only sources of comfort. ironically tying our liberation into our faith.Self-Care what is that? - All the while we are suppose to bear the weight of changing this system while trying to survive it. - Dismantling this system is what the collective must bear not more BIPOC bodies we’ve carried the weight of an oppressive system for so long sacrificing our education(mind),health (bodies),and Spiritual heritage (spirit). This is not emancipation!!! - So How can we create the world we want to live in. One that sees us all as humans and supports,uplifts,and protects us All? - Model @thespiritualbae black witches matter 90v sweatshirt in the shop up to 3x . . #spiritualbae (at Papago Mountains)

Today a cashier referred to me to as a sir twice ok 😒. You better believe I said something. He went on to explain that he only saw the side of me,which means he made an assumption. I thought to myself how did he miss this banging ass fat body,but fuck what I have on right!!We all can and should be able to wear what we want and our clothing nor our physical anatomy shouldn’t determine our gender or sexuality. Don’t assume just ask. - I’m a Taurus and this was a teaching moment Bih....so I gave him a quick lesson on gendered language and not assuming someone’s gender identity by what they look like or their body anatomy. He finally apologized. I mean finally 👏🏾😒 - The reality is society openly recognizes and accommodates my identity as a cis woman without question. - Transgender+non-binary+intersexed Folx still have to fight to be recognized for how they identify. I want to send all of y’all love like a MF,this one experience reminded of how dismissive,offensive,hurtful and disempowering it can be for someone to misidentify you. - We need to acknowledge their gender identities and fully accept them as they are,not the way we want them to be,the way that make us most comfy,or the way that books say we should 😒 uhhh ISSA No. Compassion and love bitch!!!! This is allowing Folx to be who they truly are. Love is not making folx hide so you feel better....uhhh no bitch. Love is not telling Folx something is wrong or broken in them because of how they identify and who they love uhhhh Issa no bitch. Love is what are your pronouns bitch!!!! - Lastly,miss me with that my beliefs shit. If your beliefs allow you to think it’s ok to dehumanize people....trash em asap!!! We cannot keep harming people because our belief is say so,that👏🏾is👏🏾not👏🏾ok!!!! - Lastly,Let this be known This shirt CPP was made for ANYBODY that identifies as a woman,anyone that understands the power of embracing the divine feminine within ourselves,and anyone who wants to look bomb-AF as we smash the patriarchy ayyyyye 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾.

Now for the #realtruth • Black Women have been using our magic to bear the physical&emotional weight of this fucking country that still don’t see us,won’t listen to us,won’t support us,won’t hire us,won’t believe us,won’t acknowledge us,and that continues to dehumanize us. Hell we still waiting on our reputations....where they at hoe???? - Fuck it...Black Folx will do the grunt work of dismantling what we can even we it will come at our own expense and this is bs...we show up for change using common sense every fucking time even for a mediocre white man ty Black Women....but we can’t save wyte Folx from themselves every mf time. Wyte Folx Y’all are gonna have to step the fuck Up. Demand more,require more and Listen to us,Evaluate Us,Support Us,believe us,we ain’t ya scapegoats to avoid having the real conversations on why wyte Folx just torelate trashcan politicians and leaders. Like speak 👏🏾 on 👏🏾that👏🏾!!! This is such a vicious cycle for black folx and it’s so tiring. - In the meantime run us our 💴 💵 💰 and since we don’t have another party let’s require more of the Democratic Party,change isn’t gonna happen in one swoop.
