01: Decolonizing Black spirituality

Do you feel uncertain about the spiritual validity of some of the practices that are becoming trendy?

The truth is that many of the practices that are now referred to as “witchcraft” have African origins; they are rooted in indigenous Black and Brown cultures. Many of them hold ancient wisdom that is our birthright.

In episode 2 of I’m not crazy I’m clairvoyant, we talk about the historical roots of modern Western spirituality in America, the ethical questions raised by the wellness industry, and why we need to decolonize our spirituality, highlighting in particular:

  • The spiritual/wellness industry has boomed in the last few decades and some people have got fame and wealth, but the origin of these methods and tools is our heritage
  • The historical legacy of Black and Brown spiritual practice, and why we need to decolonize our spirituality
  • Intuitive Black women who played a pivotal role in history
  • How to start decolonizing our spirituality and reclaiming our ancestral wisdom

“We must learn to decolonize our minds and decolonize our bodies and decolonize our spirits in order to decolonize our spirituality. Because Blackness has been demonized in every single way, yet it has been Spirit, it has been faith that has kept Black people and Brown people going.”
