White Sox pitcher credits his tarot reader Ruby for his good outlook

[tanglespiders]

Liam Hendriks had a tarot card reading from his reg person for this kind of thing, Ruby. He says 'yesterday won't happen again.'

Hendriks gave up a game tying HR in the 9th inning.

He also 'saged' his locker

White Sox closer Liam Hendriks says his Tarot card

honestly I even get hope from negative readings because many negative cards offer helpful advice for how to navigate challenges, and include affirmations about the growth that can occur from challenges. people knock tarot but even if you don't believe in the woo-woo side of it, just as self-reflection and self-care, it's an amazing tool. that being said, I am a full-on sage palo santo bitch too haha.

I was wondering why it said I wouldn’t lose weight in 2020. I see why 😭😭😭

[prettymorning27]

what a coincidence, I just got my first-ever Tarot deck in the mail.

Tarot is fun. So long as he doesn’t become codependent on his reader to chose what he eats for the day or wears I see no problem with it.

Not sure about using sage tho 😬

[tanglespiders]

Okay, but what if I told you the White Sox have been a complete M-E-S-S in recent years? Like, a player retired because the team was like "maybe don't bring your son around here constantly?" and this deep rift unfolded, and two of the players on either side spent the next couple years screaming at each other across the infield while playing for different teams, one of them publicly lamented that "we lost a leader" in the 14-year-old. And another time a player (also on the side of letting the kid hang out there all the time) had a hissy fit and cut up a bunch of softball-style throwback jersey because he didn't want to wear them. And then there's the pitcher who married and left Vanessa Morgan in that whole debacle.

Would you be tempted to sage the clubhouse?

[koushiba]

Unless one of the players is indigenous, and it is their cultural practice and they got their sage ethically. Than no.

[tanglespiders]

Sorry, I thought you meant it was too much, not that it was appropriation, and replied facetiously. You're right!

[backtoblack]

I'm very uncomfortable with how sageing has been completely disconnected from its Indigenous roots. It is a sacred plant to some, but now it's a random self-care ritual that's "spiritual" but without the spiritual context?

[dnttllhrry]

this is why I stopped saging a long time ago. As non indigenous black folk, we need to stop co-opting it as well.

[frankthesheep]

Black folk have their own burning rituals as well. People just latch on to what's popular rather than what's relevant to their own heritage.

that one shamed tiktok astrologer (maren altman???) must feel so vindicated by this after no one believed her that a lot of high powered people used psychics and astrologers in business

[she_can_rock]

she can take that vindication and shove it for being racist and stealing work from BIPOC astrologers.

[maggielizabeth]

shamed? did something happen?

[genbu_no_miko24]

I guess they must be young because the use of astrologers and psychics has always been a hollywood thing.

Especially Old Hollywood...numerology was a big one.

There's also the rumor that high power exec types are satanists for more power.
