🌿 Saturday Love Reading – Earth Signs (Ta**us, Virgo, Capricorn)

Theme: “If it’s real, it won’t rush you—and it won’t run from you.”

⸻

💖 Card Pulled: Four of Wands (upright)
Message: Something worth celebrating is either here—or it’s on the horizon. Whether it’s emotional alignment, a deeper commitment, or the realization that you’re ready for real, this energy speaks to stability in love. It’s giving: “finally being on the same page,” or “calling in someone who matches your energy.”

For some, you’ve been doing the inner work, breaking generational patterns, and now Spirit is preparing the physical blessing to match your emotional growth. For others, you’re recognizing that peace in love is not boring—it’s sacred.

⸻

🌾 Grounded Love Check-In:
• Is this connection giving you safety and celebration?
• Are you honoring your standards without shutting people out?
• Do you feel emotionally at home in this love—or just attached to the idea of it?

⸻

🕯️ Root Ritual (Hoodoo-inspired):
Dress a green candle with patchouli and vanilla to call in sweet, grounded, abundant love. Place four pennies around it (for the four corners of stability). Speak this into the flame:
“My love is sacred, steady, and celebrated. I attract what honors my soul.”
Let it burn down safely, and bury the pennies by your front door to draw in commitment energy.

⸻

🪨 Crystal Prescription:
• Green Aventurine – for emotional harmony and heart-opening joy.
• Tiger’s Eye – for discernment and attracting secure love.

⸻

💬 Affirmation:
“I am rooted in love that celebrates me, not just tolerates me. I deserve softness and security.”

🌬️ Saturday Love Reading – Air Signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)

Theme: “When the mind quiets, the truth of the heart speaks.”

⸻

💖 Card Pulled: Two of Swords (upright)
Message: You’re caught in a tug-of-war between what you know and what you feel. Maybe you’ve been avoiding a decision, delaying a conversation, or pretending everything is “fine.” Spirit says you’re trying to think your way through something that needs to be felt. You don’t have to overanalyze love—you have to let it land in your body.

This weekend might bring a moment of clarity, but only if you give yourself silence to receive it.

⸻

🧠 Love Check-In:
• Are you protecting yourself with logic instead of leading with truth?
• Are you afraid to choose because either option means losing something?
• Have you confused “balance” with “emotional suppression”?

⸻

🕯️ Hoodoo Wind Ritual:
Take a white feather, a strip of paper, and a touch of lemongrass oil. Write down your overthinking thoughts, your heart’s confusion, or what you can’t seem to say. Tie the paper to the feather. Whisper your intentions to the wind and release it outside (or near a window) to let Spirit carry it and clear your mental fog.

⸻

🌪️ Crystal Prescription:
• Blue Lace Agate – for calming anxious thoughts and opening the throat chakra.
• Clear Quartz – to bring clarity and amplify truth.

⸻

💬 Affirmation:
“My mind is sharp, but my heart is wise. I release the fear of choosing wrong and trust what’s real for me.”

🔥 Saturday Love Reading – Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)

Theme: “Don’t chase the spark—build the flame.”

⸻

💖 Card Pulled: The Devil (reversed)
Message: Whew. Some of y’all are finally breaking free from a cycle of toxic passion — that push-and-pull, that on-and-off, that “I know it’s bad but it feels so good” vibe. Spirit says you’ve been learning how to distinguish chemistry from compatibility. This weekend, a karmic cord may finally snap — or you’ll feel the urge to do better for your future self in love.

Temptation might still knock. But baby, you don’t have to answer. That’s your power now.

⸻

🔥 Passion Check-In:
• Does this love liberate or possess me?
• Am I feeding my ego or my soul?
• Is this fire warming me… or burning me out?

⸻

🕯️ Firework Hoodoo Tip:
Take a red candle and dress it with dragon’s blood oil or cinnamon and clove. Carve the words “I CHOOSE POWER” into it. Burn it while reciting your affirmation and envisioning yourself in a love that lifts, not traps. Let the ashes cool and sprinkle them near your front door to draw in confident, clean love.

⸻

🧱 Crystal Prescription:
• Carnelian – for bold confidence, sensual power, and sacred action.
• Black Obsidian – to cut cords with toxic or addictive relationships.

⸻

💬 Affirmation:
“I am no longer a slave to desire. I call in a love that fuels my fire without consuming me.”

🌊 Saturday Love Reading – Water Signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)

Theme: “Feel it fully, but don’t drown in it.”

⸻

💖 Card Pulled: Eight of Cups (upright)
Message: You’re walking away emotionally — or at least emotionally detaching — from something or someone that no longer nourishes your spirit. This isn’t about bitterness; it’s about choosing peace over persistence. Whether it’s a dead-end connection, unspoken feelings, or unrealistic fantasies, Spirit is showing you the sacred power in letting go. Not everything that feels deep is meant to stay. Sometimes love is the release.

You may feel nostalgic this weekend or caught in a memory loop — but ask yourself: Does this feed me or just flood me?

⸻

💧 Emotional Check-In:
• Are you giving more than you’re receiving?
• Is this love safe for your nervous system?
• Are you clinging to potential or honoring reality?

⸻

🕯️ Ritual Tip (Hoodoo-inspired):
Take a white bowl of water and speak your emotional burdens into it. Add a pinch of salt, a few drops of Florida Water, and one blue flower (like dried cornflower or blue hibiscus). Sit quietly and ask your ancestors to take the weight off your heart. Pour the water outside near a tree.

⸻

🔮 Crystal Prescription:
• Labradorite – to protect your aura and help with emotional transitions.
• Moonstone – for intuitive clarity and healing your inner tides.

⸻

💬 Affirmation:
“I honor what I feel, but I do not stay where my spirit is no longer held. I release in love, not lack.”

Tuesday is the day of fire, iron, and fight—ruled by Mars, the warrior spirit.
This ain’t the day to be soft with your boundaries.

Light your red candle.
Dress it with cayenne, dragon’s blood, or cinnamon.
Call on your warrior ancestors—those who didn’t bow, even when the world said they should.

📿 Carry your High John root today.
He’s a trickster, a freedom spirit, and he knows how to win without raising a hand.

🧂 Sprinkle a little black salt by your door to keep gossip and evil eyes out your house.

And remember this:
Not every battle needs your blade. Some need your prayers, your quiet, and your power.

Walk tall, work smart, and let ‘em feel your fire before you ever raise your voice.

🪶 Ashe & blessings on your Tuesday,
Mama Lalu

✨💨 Old Hoodoo Weather Wisdom 🌙🌿

Did you know our Hoodoo ancestors and folk in the rural South could predict the weather long before fancy forecasts and radar? They watched the land, the sky, and the creatures around them — letting Spirit and nature be their guide.

🐄 Cows lying down? Rain’s coming.
🐦 Birds flying low? Storm’s brewing.
🐜 Ant hills tall and high? Heavy rain on the way.
🌿 Leaves turning their pale side up? Get your rain boots ready.
🌾 Thick corn husks and onion skins? Winter’s gonna bite.

They listened to the wind’s secrets, smelled the rain miles away, and trusted signs like:
🌕 A ring around the moon means rain soon.
🌅 Red sky at night, sailor’s delight — red sky in morning, sailor’s warning.

Some conjure folk even worked with the spirits of the weather — calming storms, blessing fields, planting and harvesting by the moon.

Our ancestors were the original weathermen and women — rooted in wisdom, spirit, and deep connection to the land. 🌾✨

Keep an eye out next time you see the cows lying down or the trees flipping their leaves — the old ways still speak. 🔮💚

On this so-called Independence Day, I stand in true freedom — the freedom my ancestors fought and died for. May our chains break, our power rise, and our spirits stay protected. ✊🏾🔥

All you need is a cup of water, piece of paper and a pen, a nail and a candle (white and or black).

On the paper, write: “I break all chains placed upon me and mine. May my people rise in freedom, power, and protection. Ashe.”
Fold it toward you three times to draw the power in.

Call your ancestors:
Speak their names if you know them. If not, say: “Known and unknown, I honor you. I stand in your courage.”

Light the black candle:
Say: “I burn away oppression, bo***ge, and false freedom.”
Light the white candle:
Say: “I call in true freedom, power, and protection for me and mine.”

Hold the key or nail:
Say: “I unlock the gates. I break the chains. I open the road to freedom.”

Place the petition under the bowl of water.
Let the candles burn all the way down safely.

Dispose:
Pour the water at the base of a tree or crossroads.
Keep the key/nail on your altar or carry it for protection.

Let’s use these white folks energy of today for our own sake.

✨ Road Opener Tip

Feeling stuck? Sweep your front door threshold with a broom dipped in saltwater, then sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon near the door. This opens your roads and invites sweet new blessings in. 🚪✨
🧹 Drop a 🔑 if you’re ready to open your roads!

Y’all know I love keeping our old ways alive, so I’m bringing a little Sunday Hoodoo folk lore to your feed today. I believe our stories carry power, wisdom, and comfort — just like our grandmamas’ prayers stitched into a handkerchief.

This one’s called The Blessing Handkerchief — a reminder that some blessings don’t fade, they travel. Pour you some tea, get cozy, and let’s honor the root women who came before us. ✨🧵🕊️

✨ The Blessing Handkerchief ✨

They say long ago, down in a mossy stretch of Georgia pine woods, there lived a woman named Miss Clora Mae. Folks called her a root woman, though she never claimed the name herself — she just said she “knew how to talk to the Lord and the land.”

Every Sunday morning, while the church bell tolled three times, Clora Mae would sit on her front porch in a cane-back rocker, her Bible open beside her, a clean white handkerchief spread across her lap. She’d thread her needle with red thread, ‘cause red binds blessings tight, and she’d stitch tiny prayers into the cloth — blessings for protection, for healing, for safe travel, for sweet dreams and peaceful homes.

Women from all over would bring her handkerchiefs, scraps of their mother’s aprons, baby bonnets, or old pillowcases. Clora Mae would bless each one with quiet hums of gospel songs, dipping her fingers in Florida water and sprinkling a bit of graveyard dust — just enough to remind the ancestors to stand watch.

When the cloths were ready, she’d press them in the Good Book overnight. Folk tucked them under pillows to keep nightmares away, pinned them to children’s undershirts to ward off the evil eye, or tied them around the handle of the front door to keep sorrow from stepping inside.

They say Clora Mae’s own handkerchief still lies folded neat inside her granddaughter’s cedar chest — the red thread still bright as fresh blood, the prayers still humming quiet on Sunday mornings when the wind rustles through the trees. And if you ever find one of those blessing handkerchiefs in an old thrift store bin or tucked between hymnals in a dusty church, you best handle it gentle and speak Clora Mae’s name.

For in Hoodoo, some prayers never fade — especially the ones stitched by steady hands, under a Sunday sky.

✨Just a little reminder for my fellow Black girls and women-
Whimsy is a form of healing too. 🌸🦋💕

Lately I’ve been letting myself lean into more play, more softness, more magic for no reason. And I wanted to share some simple, soul-soothing ways we can all bring a little more whimsy into our lives:

🌼 Romanticize the little things – light that candle, pour your tea in your favorite cup, and sway to your playlist like it’s a movie scene.
📚 Read fairy tales or fantasy books with Black girl magic. Or write your own.
👗 Dress up just because – soft fabrics, flowers in your hair, waist beads under your robe.
🧚🏾‍♀️ Start a “magic journal” full of dreams, stickers, poems, doodles, and made-up spells.
🌿 Talk to trees, name your plants, or leave tiny offerings in your garden.
🛁 Take a spiritual bath with rose petals, glitter, and soft music playing.
🎨 Paint, collage, write… not for profit or perfection, just for joy.
🍰 Throw yourself a solo tea party. Cake included. Crown optional but encouraged.

You don’t need permission to be soft, playful, and free.
You don’t need to earn joy. You just need to allow it.

Whimsy is resistance.
Whimsy is freedom.
Whimsy is yours. 💫

Happy Monday!

✨🕯️ I release all things that no longer serve me.
Old fears. Doubt. Heavy energy. People who drain. Cycles that keep me small.
Today, I return to myself. I make room for peace, power, and purpose.

If it doesn’t align with who I’m becoming—it can’t stay.
If it doesn’t water me—it can’t grow with me.

This is my season of release and rebirth. 💫
And I receive all that’s meant for me, fully and freely.

🕯️Over here at Lalu’s Roots n Conjure, we don’t play pretty with the ancestors.

On this Juneteenth, we remember: freedom ain’t a vibe—it’s a fight that our people bled, birthed, and bound into the earth.

If your witchcraft, rootwork, or spiritual path doesn’t honor decolonization, reparations, and ancestral healing, then what are you really doing?
It’s giving gimmick.
It’s giving spiritual gentrification.
It’s giving “sage bundles and kkkrystal kkklusters” with no connection to the land or the lineage.

This work is about remembering, repairing, and reclaiming.
It’s about pouring libation with purpose.
Lighting candles with intention.
And using every herb, every prayer, every conjure to untangle us from the chains they thought would break us.

🖤 This Juneteenth, may your altar speak loud.
May your spirits rise up.
And may your practice reflect the revolution our ancestors never stopped dreaming of.
