Weekly Energy Reading
Week of May 3, 2026
Welcome
Take what resonates and leave what doesn’t. Settle in before you begin. The ancestors are speaking this week.
Ogbe Irete
This week, the opportunity for victory may be missed due to stubbornness and arrogance. This week asks for some self-honesty.
What to Know:
Stubbornness and arrogance are getting in the way of a win this week.
The only thing standing between you and victory is you.
Get honest with yourself.
Ogbe
Stubbornness has a way of running things into the ground before the lesson lands. The honest look at what stopped working and why is the practical work this week.
Tarot Companion: 10 of Swords
The 10 of Swords is rock bottom. Coupled with Ogbe, it illustrates the tangible cost of unchecked stubborness.
This week, practically:
Whatever has stopped working is worth an honest look.
Rock bottom is information. Use it.
The practical road reopens when stubbornness gives way.
Irete
Arrogance has a way of tainting the spirit. In this case, refusing to slow down, take a break, and do somew self-care may be doing more harm than good. The spiritual work this week is simple: stop pushing, rest, and let things settle.
Tarot Companion: 4 of Swords
The 4 of Swords calls for deep rest and quiet regeneration. Coupled with Irete, rest is what arrogance refuses and what the spirit needs most this week.
This week, spiritually:
Stop pushing. Rest.
Sit with what needs to be processed before moving forward.
Arrogance keeps forcing. Humility stops and listens.
The spiritual correction this week costs nothing except the willingness to be still.
Egun (Ancestors)
Stubbornness and arrogance are what stand between where things are and where they could be. Get honest. Get humble.
May you hear what the ancestors are saying. May you have the courage to be corrected. May stubbornness give way to wisdom. May victory find you humble enough to receive it.
This Week’s Offerings
The ancestors are speaking. Honor them this week.
A glass of cool water set at the foot of a white candle
White flowers or white cloth at your ancestor altar
A plate of food from your own table shared with those who came before
Their names spoken aloud
A moment of silence to hear what they have to say
Spoken Prayer
Ogbe Irete, I receive your teaching. I hear the ancestors. I am willing to be corrected. Where I have been stubborn, may I find humility. Where I have been arrogant, may I find wisdom. The road is open. I will stop blocking it. Ase.
