It's the first of the month and that means we're ready for a new Adinkra reading from Simone Bresi-Ando to help you navigate your October.

You'll see this month that Simone is emphasizing the importance of cleansing the space before conducting a reading with the Adinkra Ancestral Guidance Cards—a deck comprised of 44 Adinkra symbols to help you channel information, messages and direction from your ancestors using Adinkra symbols. First she burns some palo santo, or "holy wood", to invite positive energy and clear the air. She also uses an energy clearing spray to clear the cards and ensure the reading isn't holding on to a previous time.


Simone gives a general reading on what October has in store and help you see what's necessary to get the best out of it. Watch below.
