This is Episode 5 ya'll! I'm rockin and rollin and in this episode I go into some musing about lessons I am learning from Osun through the planet transits of Venus and her signs of Libra and Taurus. For me Venus and Osun energy are parallel and it is through astrology that I learn from and work with my ancestors and Orisa. Here I talk love, relationships, and coming out of hermit mode. And it is the nodal transit in the signs that Venus rules (Libra and Taurus) along with Venus herself being in the sign of the sun - Leo - all summer that is really shinning a spotlight on what relationship really means and looks like when you get real with yourself.

In this episode I talk about the relationship between our ancestors and queerness. To know our ancestors means to gain a deeper understanding of Self. Which means we have to question the assumptions we have about who we are and how we are trained to see ourselves in rigid/binary ways. This is where queerness enters. For me it was my elevated queer ancestors and Orisa who helped me not only see and embrace both my queerness and gayness, but in doing so I was able to see the larger ways the spirit of capitalism and Christian white patriarchy makes its ways into Black spiritual spaces. And it clouded the ways my readings were interpreted by babalawos who were aligned with a more patriarchal lens of relationships.

In this episode I open with the Montgomery Brawl of August 2023 as a way to introduce the topic of the Body and how the more we are in our bodies the more we can learn to connect with our elevated ancestors. And this is part of us deconstructing from the dehumanization we learn to do to ourselves and one another in these capitalistic societies. I talk about my own institutionalization of seeings my body as a location of service and sport, and how neither really allowed me to fully see myself until I let it go. And in that letting go, that is the space needed for our elevated ancestors so we can truly hear them and begin to trust in ourselves and our own knowing.

This episode I talk about what the spirit and energy of Pleasure has been teaching me, starting with the Orisa Osun and continuing with astrology and the conversations Venus has been having with all us lately. I explore how I have been working with my pleasure through classes, in my dating life and fashion, and through body work.
