#Ivo Dominguez Jr.

[majorarqueerna]

I seem to have written an astrology book?! ♐

You know what’s awesome? Writing a book and getting it published.

Know what’s awesome-er? Getting the opportunity to write a book with one of your mentors.

I’ve had to hold in my squee about this for many months, but I’m super excited to finally tell you that I’m the second author on Sagittarius Witch, one of twelve books of the Witch’s Sun Sign Series written by Ivo Dominguez, Jr. and published by Llewellyn over the next year. The first few volumes are available now, and the Sagittarius volume will be released in April 2024.

Here’s the official description of the Sagittarius book:

Travel off the beaten path in both your daily life and magical practice with this book on maximizing the power of your Sun sign. Sharing numerous spells, exercises, recipes, and stories, Ivo Dominguez, Jr. and Enfys J. Book show you how to make your witchcraft greater than ever with Sagittarius energy. This book offers many ways to channel your natural tendencies into stronger magic, including Sagittarius correspondences, cleansing and shielding methods, self-care routines, and divination techniques.

When people ask what I wrote for the book, I basically sum it up as “Ivo wrote all the crunchy astrology bits, and I wrote several blog-style pieces about the lived experience of being a Sagittarius witch.” (Also, no pressure, but Ivo himself is a Sagittarius. So that wasn’t intimidating at all!)

About the Witch’s Sun Sign Series

The Witch’s Sun Sign Series, the brainchild of brilliant Llewellyn editor Elysia Gallo, is a unique and exciting project to be part of. Each book in the series is jointly written by Ivo Dominguez, Jr. and a witch of that particular sun sign, and includes several additional contributions from other witches of that sun sign. The Sagittarius volume includes contributions from Mama Gina, Donyelle Headington, Devin Hunter, Cosette Paneque, Michael G. Smith, Natalie Zaman, Dawn Aurora Hunt, and Sandra Kynes.

And these books are so pretty, too. The cover and interior design of each volume is lush, vibrant, and gorgeous, thanks to Llewellyn Art Director Shira Atakpu (who was also the cover designer for Queer Qabala!). Each book is accessibly-priced and presented in a friendly, giftable size. Consider getting one of these highly-personalized and extremely useful books for each of your witchy friends!

I had a wonderful experience collaborating with Ivo and Elysia on this book, and am deeply honored to have been part of the project.

The book is available for pre-order, along with most of the other books in the series. Links are below!

Qabalah Books I'd Recommend

Today, I’d like to talk about the Qabalah, otherwise known as Kabbalah and sometimes Cabala. Specifically, I’ll be talking about how other people talk about it… and what I think about what they have to say. Pretty meta, right? No, it’s just a book review post. First of all, why is this one word spelled so many different ways? Well, I believe Ivo Dominguez Jr answered this question most aptly, by…

[maeviuslynn]

It's Taurus season which means I am posting about this amazing book. Much love to all my fellow Tauruses out there. This book is part of the witch's sun sign series available through Llewellyn Books . 

"Improve your magical practice and personal development with the power of your Taurus Sun sign. Ivo Dominguez, Jr. and Thorn Mooney share what strengths and challenges your sign brings to both witchcraft and everyday life. Featuring recipes, exercises, stories, rituals, and spells from the authors and a host of Taurus contributors, this book teaches you how to best connect with your sign's energy, manage your power, shield yourself, tailor-fit magical workings to your sign, and more."

Thank you to Llewellyn for sending me a copy of this book!

What up y'all, there's a release date now for the book I have an article in:

JULY 8TH

Woot woot!

I don't get royalties but they paid me and it's really short so 🤷‍♀️

My article is a short bio of Pamela "Pixie" Colman-Smith, the artist behind the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot. If you want a long bio, this is the book I used the most as a source:

Finally using my history degree for something 😂

Beneath the Skins, by Ivo Dominguez, Jr., examines such Kink and Fetish Community issues in a forum that, from the start, embraces the concept that people may define themselves and the community to which they belong by their erotic orientations and preferences. This special community is coming of age, and this book helps to pave the way for all who are part of it.

A Timeless Message for the Collective with the Shamanic Healing Oracle created by Michelle A. Motuzas 🌹

5. Psychic Development

Very soon, if it has not happened already, there is going to be a burst of psychic development for you or someone close to you. Latent abilities, or abilities already being explored, will receive an upgrade of sorts that bring a sense of clarity and insight to a situation that may have been confusing before.

For example, there may be an increase of dreams, whether in quantity or intensity. There may be an increase of your clair abilities, whether it be hearing, seeing, knowing – even smelling, tasting and/or touching!

If you’re an empathic individual, (and to be honest, even if you’re not!) then your sensitivity may be enhanced. When it comes to spiritual and psychic upgrades, there may be some discomfort. It may be physical (cold-like symptoms) or emotional (sudden crying or bouts of anger.) Drinking lots of liquid, (water preferably!) eating fruits and vegetables, and avoiding processed foods and harmful sugars is best for the process.

Another beneficial thing would be to take a closer look at the people around you: do you feel drained and small during or after interacting with them? Then it may be time to limit or sever the connection for your well-being. You are meant to thrive and prosper, not struggle! If the individuals around you are making you feel like you yourself are a struggle, or that it is a struggle to interact with them, then it’s high time to let go with love and gratitude. Thank them for the lessons you’ve learned with them, and be kind to yourself during the mourning process.

Your intuition, sixth sense, inner knowing/wisdom, Higher Self — whatever the label you wish to place on this subtle perception to have faith in its existence — will be attempting to guide you at this time. Allow yourself to surrender and let it. Your Guides, Ancestors, Spirit Helpers, Soul Family, Ascended Masters, and others with unconditional love for you may be attempting to reach you at this time as well. Patience, trust, and allowing surrender will greatly benefit you.

If you’ve been curious and/or wanting to develop your psychic and spiritual abilities and connect with Source, your Soul Family and your Spirit Team in a deeper way, then this card is your green light to start researching the possibilities!

Personally I’ve found Pinterest to be a wonderful resource to start with bite-size chunks of info without overwhelm. If you’re a reader, then “The Keys to Perception” and “Spirit Speak” by Ivo Dominguez Jr are works to start with. “Psychic Development” by Edgar Cayce (known as the Sleeping Prophet!) can be a starter as well.

If overall Energy Work is your vibe, then "Energy Work" by Robert Bruce can benefit you, especially if you have trouble visualizing energy since he provides tactile exercises!

"Spiritual Protection" by Sophie Reicher is a fascinating resource as well!

Any work that teaches you the fundamentals such as grounding, centering, meditation and breath work seeks to benefit you. Be wary of works that exclude these foundational aspects!

The world is limitless Beloved, and so are you! Go for it and be safe while you do so

Affirmations: “My full sensory perception is clear. My intuition is on point, and I follow it with gusto. I am open to the wisdom and guidance of my Soul Family and Spirit Team. I have faith in the interconnectedness of All. I clearly receive and understand what the Subtle Realm is trying to tell me. Through connecting with Source, healing is manifested. Logic and intuition are in balance within me. I trust and surrender to Source which guides me to joy, peace, love and greatness. I AM that I AM. I am connected and balanced with the practical and spiritual, the Subtle and the Mundane.”

I’m so excited to finally be able to talk about this project that I have been part of! Thank you Ivo Dominguez Jr. for including me and for putting together this HUGE project! @ivodominguezjr @llewellynbooks Asking a Leo to write a book about themselves is a lion’s dream come true 👑 so I immediately was excited to do this project.
