Crossroads Day Reflection
I was at the crossroads writing this out and I felt how Rev Run feels when he used to do his reflections from the bathtub. 🤣🤲🏾✨💜
Today felt super important to me from the moment I woke up. Sitting at the Crossroads currently, I decided to use this time to drop a reflection on the energy surrounding my favorite day….
Today we stand at the meeting place of worlds, where spirit and flesh, dream and duty, past and future all shake hands. This is the Crossroads, and this day belongs to The Crossroads Man.
In Hoodoo, the Crossroads Man is not just a figure; he is a living current. A teacher. A mirror. He meets us at the intersection where our choices summon our destiny. Some call him a trickster, others a teacher… but either way, he reminds us that power is never given; it’s chosen, earned, and embodied through the work we do in those liminal spaces.
The Crossroads is holy ground. It’s where the veil thins and the air hums with possibility. It’s the place where your prayers echo back as instructions and where the unseen world tests the weight of your word. This is not a place of comfort, but of clarity. Here, you must decide who you truly are, and who you’re willing to become… in your heart…
In your midnight hour…
The Crossroads Man asks: Will you walk the path your ancestors cleared, or will you forge one of your own?
He doesn’t answer your prayers, your choices knew you before you knew them. Here, he not only watches the unfolding of your choices but he watches to see if your spirit can carry them. He gives all of your choices just to see what you decide, and in that choice chosen, he gives you freedom to navigate those choices how you see fit.
And that’s the hidden teaching (I feel like I’m preaching and want to say, “Come on now! You didn’t hear me!” lol) that the most potent magic isn’t in the candle, or the dirt, or even the offering laid at the four corners. It’s in the courage to act when the way forward is uncertain. It’s in listening when spirit whispers through the wind, “Now is the moment.”
So today, honor the Crossroads Man not with fear, but with gratitude. Thank him for the tests that make your faith solid. Thank him for standing between you and your own hesitation. Thank him for the lessons that sharpen your intuition like a blade.
Because when you do your work in the liminal, in those in-between spaces where the world blurs, that’s when the magic happens. That’s where time folds, ancestors gather close, and the invisible becomes visible.
At the Crossroads, you will always be reminded:
Power lives in the choice.
And the choice lives in you.
Love to you and yours 🤲🏾🗝️✨
