Hermit Mode: The Value of Introspection

 Introduction      It's been roughly two months since I have posted to this blog space. Hold up! Before you call me a slacker I can explain - a lot has happened up to this point. As I type this, it is November 25, 2025, just a few days shy of Thanksgiving (fuck Christopher Columbus) and about a week away from my 25th birthday. In October, I made arrangements for a major milestone in my life - getting a bilateral salpingectomy. I worked my ass off for all of October once my surgery date was scheduled for November 13th so, that I could afford the minimum of two weeks off. I also experienced heartbreak, when my relationship of five years ended abruptly, causing me to grieve and cry for 4 days and 3 nights exactly. My work days were hell on my body, there were times where I was working from can't see to can't see consecutively. There were days where I stressed and cried due to worrying about not being able to afford my surgery copay, and when I had to rush and find a rid...

How Finding My Ancestors Helped Me to Find Myself

  Introduction         Have you ever heard of something called "the Dark Night of the Soul"? It's a period of deep loneliness, despair, and often the mark of a crossroads in a person's life. For as long as I could remember, I was praying to something, or someone, whom I thought looked upon me with love - a giant benevolent man in the clouds that was omniscient,  and according to the Bible made the world in about a week. I prayed to the Christian God devoutly (or whatever devoutness could look like for a 6 year-old), and made sure to thank Jesus, his only begotten son, for whom he had sacrificed to absolve everyone's sins. I also called on the Holy Spirit to "fill up" my life and lead me to salvation, in hopes that I wouldn't go to yet another hell because Lord knew my life on Earth thus far had been hell enough.     Over the years leading up to that night, I had really taken the time to build a catalog of my life up until then. It was my junior ye...

From Pain to Power: My Journey as A Conjure Woman

 Introduction           Welcome to Musings of a Conjure Woman, a space that found me when I needed it the most -  a place where I could let my thoughts, experiences, teachings, and learnings flow freely from my heart and spirit to the web, and maybe to the world. I hope that with this page I can walk in my purpose with honor as a Griot, as a Black Woman, and as a soul that seeks to guide others. Mainly because I didn't have the help when I unlocked my healing journey, or the deep dive into my history to cultivate a spiritual renaissance, and had many moments of longing for guidance in human form. Human form? Yes, because a large portion of my research and studies came from books, personal anecdotes, answered petitions set underneath glowing candles, and cry outs to my Ancestors and Spirit Guides many nights at 3AM for their wisdom.      As I develop this blog, I want you the reader to know that it will be a place where you can learn...
