@Creaturista thanks. Are you sure you got the right names? Can’t click on their names here, I’ll look them up and see their work

@Wetdryvac thanks for your reply. I looked at your art... I love what you do. It’s very different from what I had in mind, so I need to think because I like different. And yes I expect to pay for it but my budget is limited. Up to €70 (I’m not sure if it’s realistic or not though)

Is there an artist or illustrator who’s able to make me an avatar? Recommendations and boosts appreciated. Thanks

@Mwenyi Lovely list! Dunno if you're interested, but I thought of it because I saw ifa, palo, Santeria, and voudou--

There are a couple of books I love on rootwork/ hoodoo/conjure (which is an AfAm derivative, similar to voudou, Santeria, etc.):

Old Style Conjure by Starr Casas
Working Conjure by Hoodoo Send Moise

It's how my practice is mostly based, also coming from a heavily Christian family (southern baptists tho)

I want to make it clear that I'm not proselytising here. It's not how spirituality works. But as a black person who comes from a catholic family that does not discuss anything ancestral I had nowhere to turn to. So this thread is for those who don't know where to start safely.

The lists are not exhaustive, just enough for you to carry on on your own.

5. SOCIAL MEDIA

On twitter, @kukundabula A must follow. Everyone else talks spirituality but they don't go in the way he does. If you're LGBTQ+ and trying to reconcile this with your spirituality, you may find a personal interest in his posts.

I follow others on twitter but tbh if you're looking to understand and learn some things, I feel that on that platform he's pretty much the only one I know who's doing the things.
