Tarot Deck
Hey everybody! I want to purchase my first tarot deck and am looking for recommendations. Preferably something Afrocentric with beautiful imagery. Any thoughts?

🔥 The Erotic Gift of Being Alive
“Do you already know that your existence—who and how you are—is in and of itself a contribution… Generosity means giving of what you have without strings or expectations attached. Vulnerability means showing your needs.” —adrienne maree brown Every part of you is a pulse in the erotic ecology of life. The scent of your skin. The sound of your laughter. The way your hips shift when you walk. The hunger in your eyes when you want something—or someone. You don’t have to earn your place here. Your existence *is* the offering. Your pleasure, your desire, your yes, your no, your deep aching need for touch and truth—these are sacred contributions to the spacess we all share. Generosity in erotic life isn’t just about giving pleasure. It’s giving presence. Letting someone feel you. Letting your authenticity, your aliveness, shine through without controlling how it’s received. And vulnerability? It’s the art of showing what you need, what you long for, what you fear—without wrapping it in apology or armor. 💋 So let’s open this up together: - What does erotic generosity feel like in your body? - When have you risked vulnerability in connection—and what changed because of it? - Where in your life are you ready to show more of who you *really* are, without performance or pretense?

Erotic generosity feels like a pause in my body. It’s an awareness of the give and take of presence. And where I could naturally take up more space, I invite another’s presence to inter in to experience my depth. That’s the pause, the steadiness. I’ve risked vulnerability in connection with friendships. When they become too surface level or are not able to meet/see me where I am, I become more aware of my own projection of this type of energy that made it feel okay and acceptable. I am ready to show more who I really am in those same friendships.
What emotion is most present for you today?
Take a moment and feel it—not just think about it. Where does it live in your body? What texture does it have? Is it sharp, full, restless, warm? Now ask: what does it crave? Every emotion has a want underneath it. Anger might want movement or release. Sadness might want to be held. Desire might want to be seen. Joy might crave space to expand. When we let ourselves feel those cravings all the way through—without tryingto fix or analyze them—we open the door to pleasure. Pleasure isn’t separate from what we feel; it’s what happens when we meet our emotions with curiosity instead of control. When we breathe into what’s real, the body begins to soften. The senses start to wake up. We return to ourselves. Pleasure lives there—in the simple act of presence. So, what’s the emotion moving in you right now? And what would it feel like to let it have what it’s craving?

Today I feel calm. I started my menstrual cycle yesterday and biologically I am more low energy than most days, so I choose to listen to what my body is asking me for—stillness and rest. There is nothing to “do”, just be…a vessel for a natural cycle of release. And I am grateful for that, since this season for me has been about regulating and finding neutrality. That feels good.

@Angela B Grief will take you on a ride, won’t it?! And it also can make clear to you what’s available here and now. Wishing you a restorative vacation in Punta Cana. May the sunshine remind you to dance in its light, may the water wash away any attachments to who you used to be, and may you find joy in your rebirth . Sending you love, Angela. 💚

Happy Full Moon 🌕 I’m Latoya. Goddess Amina’s challenging, and insightful teachings bring me here. I’m currently exploring my own internal concept and dance around desire and responsibility (to myself). The foundations that my nervous system was built on telling me that desire is reckless and needs to be earned to prove responsibility first. I am repatterning my self-concept to embrace a more inclusive approach so that I neither fall into self-denial or rigidity. One intention I’m holding is to trust myself to ask questions here relevant to this new journey and let myself be supported.
