1. Consent is Non-Negotiable

All readings require active and fully-informed consent. This is non-negotiable.

Non-consensual acts of spiritual work can look like:

1. Purposefully misleading clients to encourage repeat services.

2. Pulling cards or reading charts on behalf of an unknowing or otherwise non-consenting party.

2. Truths Shall Not Be Weaponized

Truths are tools, not weapons. Applying a trauma-informed lens to my work involves treating truths and truth-telling insights as tools for self-accountability and empowerment, not as a means to intimidate, manipulate, or provoke shame.

3. Care is a Deliberate and Radical Act of Liberatory World-Making

Care work is an essential, indispensable part of our collective transformation and survival. It fortifies our communities with the resources we need to imagine and live into liberatory futures. In a world that allows those who need the most care - by which I mean, those most impacted by systems of oppression - to be swiftly disposed of in the face of local and global emergencies, giving and receiving care are defiant acts of self and community preservation.

4. I Reserve the Right to Protect My Energy

It is both my right and my responsibility to protect my energy. Boundaries shape my practice as a reader and allow me show up fully for my clients. As such, I reserve the right to decline services to anyone who attempts to infringe on my emotional, physical, psychological, and spiritual boundaries.

At this time, infringing on my boundaries can look like:

1. Using my inbox to emotionally unload. While I absolutely welcome (and love reading!) updates about your progress, new insights, or specific questions pertaining to a recent reading, please refrain from sending long stream-of-consciousness emails that serve no other purpose than emotional dumping. Please be mindful.

2. Asking for discounted or free services that aren’t already offered. I offer free resources and a limited number of sliding scale services per month in accordance with what is financially feasible for me.

5. Center Black Liberation and Indigenous Sovereignty

The American Indian Religious Freedom Act was passed in 1978. This means that, up until 1978, Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island were legally persecuted for practicing traditional ceremonies and rites, accessing sacred sites, and otherwise possessing culturally specific sacred objects. Similarly, trafficked and enslaved Africans were persecuted for practicing spiritual rites and traditions of Traditional African Religions. Hoodoo - a Black American spiritual and magickal practice born from the American South - was born out of the ingenuity of Black survival and Black-Indigenous solidarity.

My tarot practice is shaped and heavily informed by Black American Hoodoo traditions. It is, therefore, crucial that I build a practice that protects the integrity of these spiritual roots. This means recognizing the impact that colonial violence, capitalism, and White Supremacy has had and continues to have on my ancestors and kinfolk. My commitment to acting from a place of ongoing resistance and solidarity often looks like prioritizing the needs and voices of Black, Indigenous, and otherwise non-White community members. It also means pushing back against the whitewashing and gentrification of these practices.

While I do offer my services to White folks at this time, I do so with acute awareness of how Whiteness (and White supremacist definitions of health and wellness) is centered in far too many spaces where spiritualism, occultism, and old medicine intersect. It’s important for all my clients to understand that, here, we center Black femme voices, visions, boundaries, and needs.

For White folks who are seeking my services, I ask that you deeply consider what it means to build a meaningful professional relationship with a Black, multiracial, queer, working class femme and to prioritize reciprocity as the central building block to our working relationship.

6. Interior Landscapes Are Sacred Sites

Spiritual care services often involve turning over old logs in forgotten or neglected areas of your interior world. I recognize the distinct honor and privilege I have in accessing those sites as a practitioner, and I don’t take your trust for granted. I am, therefore, committed to honoring your privacy and approaching with the utmost care.

This is delicate work and it’s perfectly reasonable to pipe up about any needs you might have before we proceed. I welcome any conversations about any boundaries or access needs you might have around receiving readings.
