In observance of Black History Month, Sarah dedicates this episode to all the Black spiritualists, hoodoos, conjurers, healers and medicine keepers who, despite everything, keep the tradition and the magick alive. You deserve the world. One day, may the world deserve you.
In the wake of her personal Tower season, Sarah takes a silent retreat in Joshua Tree, CA to get right with the Spirit of Justice. Pulled straight from the archives of Sarah's audio journal, she shares her reflections on spiritual justice, ancestral intervention, and the unchecked violence of white supremacy as she process the gap between the justice she deserves and the justice that's materially available to her.
