Living in late stage capitalism is really no joke. You are many times forced to do what you don’t want to do, just so you can survive or not end up in the streets. So you work 10 hours grueling shifts that everyday are surely breaking your body. Or you work two or three jobs just to pay bills and stay afloat. It’s never ending and it’s also all part of the plan, part of the system. You can’t fight back if you’re too exhausted, or too worn.
I participated in this system because I thought this was what was asked of me. See, my family came on the boat the Mariel in 1980 from Cuba to escape a dictatorship, only to have their very soul’s broken by the supposed American dream. My mother worked 3 jobs when I was an infant. My father broke his back everyday working demanding jobs til he died of cancer at the age of 68.
It felt like a dishonor to do things differently since hey they came here to escape an authoritarian government. However, my body, my soul always yearned for something different. I was an artist, singer and witch from the moment I was born. I was magical and with the years and life I was slowly letting it die.
However, because I work with Hecate, Lilith, Dragons and even the Morrigan… my spirit team wasn’t going to let that happen. So they let me do what I had to do until, they saw that I needed a life line. So they stepped in and put me through the type of initiation where you go down into the underworld, are stripped bare, die and then come back up to the surface a new person.
At this point I had already almost lost everything and then they told me that I needed to become a priestess and help other’s reclaim their power and sovereignty. The power our ancestors had, the ones we call on when we need help. But I also learned that I wasn’t doing good by my ancestors living a safe life. I was participating in the colonized life that had almost wiped them out. I was being part of the problem.
Think about it, like isn’t it convenient how the practices of our ancestors are supposedly evil? Haven’t you noticed how anything that isn’t compatible with the system is deemed evil? Why? Because you not being compatible with the system terrifies them because then they can’t control you. You were never meant to be controlled by the system. You were never supposed to be shamed for being human.
So the way we honor our ancestors is by dismantling the systems that oppressed them and oppress us. We need to take back what is our birth right: our power, our sovereignty. Only then can we really dismantle the system, with us taking back our thrones one by one.
You see, I realized that the “safety” of a paycheck from someone else was actually a parasite. It was eating my time, my music, and my sovereignty. I’m done. I have walked away, even when it means me facing the edge of homelessness. I have to honor my ancestors in this moment by honoring my sovereignty.
This is why I am building The Throne for the woman who is tired of clutching her fear like a shield. If you are living a life that is a mere shadow of what your ancestors bled for, you aren’t being “careful.” You are being a parasite to your own potential.
The Throne is a 3-month, one-on-one container for the woman or person ready to inhabit their own power. * The Investment:$4,500 upfront (includes two extra calls and a custom made ritual kit sent to you) or $1,500 monthly.
The Result: You stop asking for permission. You start building the infrastructure of your own sovereignty.
I have limited space for those ready to take The Fool’s leap with me. If you’ve felt the “ancestry rage” bubbling up, it’s because it’s time to move. Click the button below 👇
