The metaphysics of money is easy to understand if you remember two things. First, know that abundance is an infinite resource always available to you. Second, the purpose of abundance is create joy and happiness in life. 

In my activating abundance post, I explore the ways I like to attract abundance - including using plants and spices that represent Oshun on a regular basis.

Oshun is the Orisha over wealth, just as she is over love. When creating the Oshunita Collection, the focus was on attracting love especially attracting love for the self, but Oshunita can also support attracting abundance into your life.

Oya: The Orisha of Transformation

I found this in my notes, and felt inclined to shared after a beautiful sister asked about Iya the other day. I wrote this many years ago, possibly connecting to someone over email about this beautiful Orisha, OYA. Enjoy! “Oya is such a powerful force, and I am lucky to have her watch over me the way that she does. The woman who initiated me was crowned Oya, and Oya has claimed me as her child, even though Obatala is my mother who claimed my head. “But if you have a connection with her, it is for a reason.

2018 Holiday Gift Guide for the Beautiful, Black Mystic in Your Life

Over the past few years, I've made it a point to get at least 75% of my gifts from small businesses run by either black entrepreneurs or women of color. While supporting my community is very important to me, I've found that gifts from black-owned or woman-of-color-owned business get used and have been cherished so much more than other gifts I've gotten in the past in comparison.

I've been able to find some of the cutest holiday gifts for my family and close, close friends - from perfect cloth chokers, to ornate travel bags, or even glowy highlight - that still get regular use and wear after months and years. I wanted to bring this wonderful tradition to Ritual+Vibe.

Offerings for an Ancestor Altar (Beginner & Advanced Friendly!)

Creating an ancestor altar that you regularly work with is a powerful ritual that powers spirit work. It is a great way to connect with your ancestors as well as yourself. Strengthening that bond with your ancestral army will help you stay not only grounded, but properly guided.

This post is designed to be a quick, multi-tiered guide on the offerings you can provide on an ancestor shrine or altar. Whether you're a beginner or already have an altar you work with, you'll find inspiration and direction that can help support your spirit work and ancestral work.

Starting Out:

If you’re new to setting up an ancestral shrine, keep it simple when setting up your shrine. I posted steps on setting up a simple ancestor altar in this post, but to get started, all you need is a small table, ideally covered with a white table cloth. You can energetically clean the table, cloth, and area if you'd like with your preferred medium. Keep this table outside of your bedroom or places you sleep.
