In this episode, we explore The High Priestess with Ebony Isis Booth, a coach who supports primarily Black and Indigenous folks in transformation, leadership, and emotional alchemy. Our conversation explores the second Major Arcana card through the lens of intuition, self-trust, and Spirit, and we talk about internal and external resistance that arises when intuition delivers its wisdom.
Ebony also teaches us about "unclenching our butt cheeks" and takes us through an exercise to experience this act of full-body softening, which helps The High Priestess connect with us.
Ebony also shares about growing up Southern Baptist and finding her way to a personal spirituality that draws on African and other mystic traditions. She also talks about receiving an intuitive hit, and how she wrestled with that knowing before the follow-through.
We also talk about alcohol (and quitting!); The Matrix, The Color Purple, and Goosebumps; a drunk man in a banana suit who wanted a Tarot reading; taint-hairs and buttholes; being human as a revolutionary act; going outside; and more!
