Regardless of why you’re sitting in time out, it remains that you’re sitting in time out. And how you deal with this moment of isolation will be more important than the first actions you take once you are released back into the wild. So put the time to good use by resting and being at rest. At rest with yourself, at rest with your circumstances, at rest with the limits you are bound by, temporary or not. How you carry yourself in private will be evident the moment you are back in the public eye. Make your report a peaceful one.


The Dust II Onyx tarot deck is Courtney Alexander’s homage to her Black heritage and to the Black matriarchs and leaders of her communities. The deck is also a love offering to the LGBTQIA+ community and is presented as a tool for every person within the African diaspora to feel a connection to without prejudice.
