  • Incantation


    (Taught to me by Armah and Kambon)
    Two thousand seasons of restless sleep
    Beneath the destroyers’ fragmented image
    We used their definitions of ourselves
    To disconnect our consciousness
    Lines drawn in denial of deeply textured souls
    Okra/Ka/Se
    Life/Force/Energy
    Nyama.
    They knew even as we slept
    That our spirit was more powerful
    Than their white death.
    In our will-less sleep
    We have allowed the Earth to be defiled.
    The wake of two thousand seasons
    Of Spiritless matter. ..
    Destroyers’ work.
    Confusion in Maafa aftermath
    Within our lost knowledge
    Enemies have blurred the line
    Between us and them.
    Are we destroyers ourselves?
    No -We are the Springwater
    Compelled by Ancestral consciousness
    Egun/Nsamanfo
    Issuing from Ani’s Wl)mb
    We divine il victorious destiny

    We are awakening,
    Announcing ourselves, self-determining
    With Nubian will
    Crystal vision
    Shaping a new reality
    Ancient genius rediscovered
    So Dayi – The Clear Word.
    Balancing the scales
    Restoring spirit to matter
    The Whole completed
    Made cosmic again.
    Rhythm is the key to the Way
    Alternating Death with Life
    Joining us to each other.
    We are the Healers.
    The Victory is ours!
    We call upon Onyame, Olodumare, and Amma
    Invoking the Nommo-power of Blackness
    Carried in the genes of Race Memory
    Hesse!
    Ancestors and Children to be born
    Keys to the circles of connectedness
    and clarity
    Africa redeemed
    The universe in harmony
    Return and move forward
    To the Way
    Of a natural order
    African World Order
    Resplendent reflection of Ma’at.
    Ase!

  • Not My Shadow, Not My War

    Carl Jung once said that “the most dangerous psychological mistake is the projection of the shadow onto others.”
    I feel that on this holiday break. Most conflict: interpersonal, communal, spiritual, starts when someone wrestling their own darkness mistakes you for their battleground.

    I used to think I could avoid this if I just explained myself well enough… moved gently enough… was compassionate “enough.”
    But I can’t outrun someone else’s shadow. It walks with them—cast on me.

    What I can do is learn to recognize the moment their shadow lands on me.

    For me, the first sign is intensity.
    Not every disagreement or discomfort is a projection. Humans clash all the time. Personalities don’t always mix: different values, different morals, different goals, different perspectives, different trauma, different strategies for getting needs met. I get that. That’s normal.
    But when the emotional charge is strong, out of proportion for what happened, or strangely personal… that’s usually not about me. That’s their shadow searching for a new battleground.

    My strategy starts with simple observation:

    Notice the flare.
    When someone’s reaction is harder than the situation called for, I pause. I feel it, but I let it pass.

    Acknowledge it instead of fighting it.
    If I argue with their projection, it only grows. Shadows get stronger when you deny them.

    Name what’s happening.
    Not out loud, but to myself: “This is not about me. This person is projecting.”
    That one sentence keeps me from internalizing their story.

    Stay rooted.
    Their shadow doesn’t overwrite my truth.
    Who decided their darkness swallowed my sun?
    The only one who can decide that is me.

    And sometimes the simplest thing you can do is let their shadow pass like a wave hitting a rock.

    The goal isn’t to be liked or understood, but to see clearly—your shadow and theirs—and not let either pull you out of yourself.

    How do you deal with it when someone’s shadow tries to make you their mirror?

  • Sovereign Desire

    Lust is more than hunger of the flesh—it is the spirit set ablaze. It floods the mind, bends the body, and moves through every heartbeat like a relentless drum. It lingers in the silence between breaths, in the gaze that refuses to look away, in the heat that dissolves the boundary between self and other.

    Lust does not wait, nor does it bow. It rises in the hidden places, the forbidden corners where shadows stir and desire burns without shame. It is raw, sovereign, and absolute.

    Have you ever surrendered yourself to its fire—without resistance, without return?

  • Step-by-step: how a session works

    For those who are curious about stepping into this work, I’ve created a short video overview. In it, I walk through what you can expect in a session with me—how I approach rope as both a spiritual and somatic practice, and the ways I weave consent, boundaries, and intentionality into every step.

    Whether you’re new or returning, this video offers a clear sense of how sessions unfold, what the energy feels like, and how we co-create an experience rooted in safety, trust, and presence.

    If you’d like a deeper dive, I also provide written guides and personalized consultations to answer questions directly. My goal is for you to feel fully informed and aligned before we begin.

  • Consent, Boundaries, and New People in Erotic Work

    Lately, I’ve noticed a trend that gives me pause: people reaching out, offering to participate in erotic or sexual shoots with no prior experience, no clear expectations, no prior history and no stated boundaries. When I hear this, my first thought is “red flag.” Lack of boundaries doesn’t just make me uncomfortable it foretells fuckery in coming.

    Consent isn’t just about saying “yes.” It’s awareness, mutual understanding, and the ability to communicate limits clearly. Jumping into erotic or intimate work without boundaries is risky for both the participant and the professional. Many consent incidents arise not from bad intent, but from mismatched communication, unfamiliar conflict styles, or unclear expectations.

    I often find myself struggling with a question: should I step away from these people entirely, or attempt to educate them about consent, boundaries, and safer practice? On one hand, stepping back is a protective choice. On the other, education can help cultivate responsible, informed participants but it requires time, patience, and the willingness of the other person to learn and have patience.

    For me, I like to see:
    • see how someone interacts in community spaces, with peers, and under low-stakes conditions.
    • how they discuss limits, expectations, and experience before any session.

    I think it’s important to normalize setting expectations, protecting boundaries, and valuing the educational aspect of kink and erotic work. Consent isn’t just a yes or a no it’s a mindset, a practice, and a responsibility.

  • The Philosophy of Flesh

    The Philosophy of Flesh is a deep exploration of embodiment, desire, and transformation. It maps the intersections of body, spirit, and experience, revealing how sensation, ritual, and practice can become tools for self-discovery and empowerment. Through my work, the flesh is not just a vessel—it is a medium for sovereignty, connection, and the alchemy of personal transformation.

  • The Unseen Communion

    The Unseen Communion explores the architecture of my inner system of thought — a web of ideas, experiences, and insights that shape how I perceive, interact with, and transform the world. This video is a guided journey through the unseen connections between sovereignty and surrender, ritual and reflection, the personal and the collective.

    Here, concepts that have lived across pages, essays, and reflections converge into a living overview, revealing the patterns, themes, and philosophies that underpin my work. It’s less a lecture and more a map of thought — a communion with the unseen forces that guide creation, understanding, and transformation.

    Dive in, and let the threads of this system unfold, showing how ideas, experience, and intention interweave into a singular, evolving vision.

  • Sovereignty of Boundaries

    Thank you for sharing your truth. To honor your boundaries is to honor your sovereignty. Protecting your energy is not retreat—it is self-worship. Not every room, not every crowd, deserves your offering. The unaligned will always seek to provoke, to tether what they cannot comprehend. Your gifts are not for everyone, and they should not be.

    I hold this truth: alignment is rare, sacred, and worth protecting. I will continue to cherish and nurture the connections that meet me with reciprocity. The rest is noise.

    I have lived through struggle, harm, misunderstanding, and conflict. Each left its mark, carving wounds meant to break me. Instead, they became rites—initiations into strength, discernment, and devotion to my own energy. I do not wear them as burdens, but as sigils etched into my body and spirit.

    This is the cost. And this is the value.
    Magick is not cheap, not casual, not for the unprepared.

    So walk boldly in your divinity.
    Do not let the world dim what it cannot contain.
    The universe is already conspiring in your favor.
