Yes, they left you behind. And yes, it was deliberate. And yes, acknowledging that will be one of the hardest things you will do today because you had faith in something that never had faith in you and reconciling that will hurt more than everything they have done to you. Forgive yourself for believing them. Forgive yourself for doubting yourself. Forgive yourself for your errors and then take that rage seeping up and use it to remake yourself. Now that you know what you are capable of doing when held back, stop holding yourself back for the comfort of others and start going forward to create the comfort you need to live. And then, live.


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.
