Today’s cards: The Lovers – VI, The Universe – XXI, & Suspension – XII.

You gave up your everything for this, and let go of everything else because you were promised that this and this alone would be everything you needed. And after all that has happened, instead of evidence of growth, you are burdened with hardening scars as proof that your faith was abused. The scars are going to sting for a long while, but do not focus too much on them. That you have scars is proof that you are still here, and still capable of growth and recovery. It will be slow to start, but it is doable.


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.
