‘All of us are magicians’ — Amber the Alchemist
Happy August, beautiful souls! I’m so happy to share that this upcoming week will be overflowing with wealth, generosity, miracles, and magic. What a rich way to begin the month!
For the third week in a row, the six of cowrie extends its message of expansion and collective abundance. Check out last week’s and the prior week’s Spirit Medicine for more tea.
Full transparency: When I pulled the six of cowrie this week, I slid it back into the deck hoping to share a message. But guess what? It flew right back out two seconds later. …

Amber the Alchemist reminds us to set up boundaries but also, to give freely. Yes, it’s a balance.
The energy surrounding the collective is an extension of last week’s message, with the 6 of Cowrie reminding us that reciprocity is every damn thing! The medicine asks us to extend our wisdom and knowledge to our respected communities, but with that action comes the necessity of exploring the balance between service and protecting our energy. This week, part of your responsibility will be enforcing clear boundaries to ensure your needs are met and that you are prioritizing what’s most valuable to you — be it your time, finances, knowledge, resources or mental health.
My biggest challenge since stepping into…

Amber the Alchemist has solid advice on how to focus your intentions and actions this week
When I pulled Knowledge this week, I was immediately directed to the pursuit of childhood curiosity. As a part of my inner child healing, I’m continuing to be led by my natural curiosity, the part of me that investigates first and trusts late. Spirit encourages you to do the same this week by falling into an inquisitive state of being. Be led by a new world of information and knowledge; new books await to inspire your next artistic creations, healing journeys, and academic careers.
With so much to learn and be brought into perspective, we can learn from anyone to…
SPIRIT MEDICINE
This week, look at song as a spiritual practice, inviting vibrations that support your intentions or goals for the week.
Music is a universal language used since the beginning of time to heal, invoke, celebrate, connect and so much more. Music is also an energy exchange, and for many listeners, the vibrations of songs often go overlooked. Different keys align with different chakras (or energy centers) in our bodies just as different frequencies, lyrics, instruments awaken different emotions. …

This week, you have the power to say no to what is no longer serving you. Amber the Alchemist shows us how.
We are all due for a lesson in sovereignty, self-control, authority, and accountability this week.
Stoicism, or The Hanged Man’s energy typically arises during moments where the universe requires us to see things from a higher perspective; one that extends beyond the material into the spiritual. The divine often pushes us into a sacred pause, where areas of our life appear to be on hold so that we can address the transformations that are taking place.
Collectively, we are fully aware of the things that are not serving us in our lives, yet we’ve continued to repeat cycles, indulge, and…

Words matter, so use them wisely, advises Amber the Alchemist in a weekly oracle and tarot pull for the ZORA collective.
Last week’s guidance of rest and meditation revealed the fundamental steps necessary before we face the upcoming cycles ahead. This time and space we’ve granted ourselves illuminated any negative beliefs or patterns (including impatience) that may have been preventing us from aligning with our highest potential.
The Mantra card that I pulled for this week invites us to bring our attention and focus to how we communicate with ourselves and others. The basic foundational belief of manifestation is that our words and thoughts hold the power to create our reality. …
How you can help pass the For the People Act
Summertime has finally arrived. After a lengthy pandemic-inspired hibernation, many women feel excited about their hot-girl summer plans. Tourism around the globe has recently hit record heights. And while these vacations are well-deserved, conservative voter suppression tactics are surging. Systemic racism does not take time off, but that does not mean Black women have to stick to the picket line to make a difference.
According to MSNBC : “Stacey Abrams has launched her ‘Hot Call Summer’ campaign to get Congress to pass the For the People Act. The ‘Hot Call Summer’ campaign asks supporters to call their U.S. …

Heal your spirit with advice from Amber the Alchemist.
This week’s Spirit Medicine includes messages from the 4 of Cutlass tarot card + Gratitude oracle card.
Eclipse season continues to shower us with a new wave of perspectives and visions, by way of tough conversations and facing truths that may have felt like a thorn these last few weeks. These revelations are pushing us into a new reality, and as we face the changes ahead we must take time to rest, recuperate, process, and realign.
4 of Cutlass shines a light on the necessary practice of rest before we move on to the next cycle where we’ll be met…
National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month
Choosing yourself is revolutionary
First and foremost, Naomi Osaka is an amazing athlete. She is a four-time Grand Slam champion. However, as a Haitian-Japanese woman, Osaka has faced tremendous pressure on and off the court. After using her platform to speak against racial injustices, the backlash came swiftly. When athletes faced harsh critiques for branching out beyond the realm of sports, Osaka stood firm in her conviction. Some of her motivation comes from activist athletes like Muhammad Ali. Last fall, at the U.S. Open Tennis Championship, Osaka wore a Black face mask with white letters reading Tamir Rice.

A reading for the collective: Reflect on who you are and how far you’ve come.
This week we are guided to reflect on our individual journeys of the last few months and years. The Onija cowrie tarot card draws our attention to the slow and steady building blocks of our day-to-day lives paired with our devotion to the tasks at hand. This energy can be a humbling reminder that the things we want most require dedication, focus, consistency, and most importantly, patience.
These are sacrifices and choices that we make daily that contribute to the greater picture-at-large. For example, if you desire to be a best-selling writer, writing consistently is a task that comes with…
