Tarot: A Path to Healing and Introspection
Tarot is more than a tool for divination—it’s a mirror to the soul. For centuries, people have used tarot to reflect on their lives, find clarity, and uncover hidden truths. Within the Black community, tarot has emerged as a powerful means of healing and self-discovery, offering a restorative practice rooted in introspection and ancestral connection.
By embracing tarot, Black folx can reclaim a spiritual tool that fosters deep understanding, resilience, and empowerment. It’s a space to pause, connect with intuition, and navigate life’s challenges with renewed perspective.
Our mission is to make this transformative practice accessible to all. By offering free esoteric healing services like tarot, we aim to introduce a restorative practice that uplifts the community, honors Black traditions, and creates pathways for healing.
Discover how tarot can help restore balance and ignite self-liberation. Let’s heal together.

Astrology: A Guide to Self-Discovery and Empowerment
Astrology is an ancient practice that maps the stars and planets to help us understand ourselves and the world around us. For the Black community, astrology has become a profound tool for healing, offering guidance, validation, and insight into life’s challenges and opportunities.
By exploring astrological charts, Black folx can connect with their inner truths, uncover patterns, and embrace their unique journeys. Astrology provides a framework to reflect, grow, and navigate the complexities of life with intention and self-awareness.
Our mission is to make astrology accessible as a free esoteric healing service, empowering the community to use the stars as a guide for restoration and resilience. By embracing this practice, we honor Black traditions of seeking wisdom and alignment, helping individuals find balance and purpose.
The stars hold wisdom—let them guide your healing journey.
Folk Healing: Honoring Traditions, Healing the Community
Folk healing is a practice rooted in the wisdom of ancestors, blending herbal remedies, rituals, and spiritual insight to nurture the mind, body, and spirit. For the Black community, folk healing carries the stories and resilience of generations, offering holistic and culturally grounded ways to heal and thrive.
Through folk healing, Black individuals can reconnect with ancestral practices that prioritize care, restoration, and community. It’s a way to reclaim traditions that honor the natural world and emphasize balance, protection, and empowerment.
Our mission is to provide free folk healing services to the community, creating space for Black individuals to rediscover the transformative power of these ancestral methods. By sharing this knowledge, we support a legacy of healing that is deeply personal and profoundly communal.
Reclaim your heritage. Folk healing offers timeless wisdom for restoration and renewal.

Sound Healing: Restoring Harmony Through Vibration
Sound healing is an ancient practice that uses the vibrations of instruments and voices to promote relaxation, balance, and emotional release. Within the Black community, sound healing serves as a powerful method of restoration, offering a space to release stress, reconnect with inner peace, and heal from trauma.
Through the resonant power of sound, Black folx can access a transformative tool for grounding and renewal. It’s a practice that transcends words, connecting directly to the body and spirit to create a deep sense of harmony and well-being.
Our mission is to provide free sound healing services as part of our commitment to offering esoteric healing tools for the community. By introducing this soothing and accessible practice, we aim to restore calm, foster resilience, and create opportunities for collective healing.
Let the vibrations guide you back to balance. Sound healing is where restoration begins.

The Black Altar is black woman led. In working with and for black, indigenous, people of color, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, non-binary, queer, and similarly identified communities in King County, The Black Altar acknowledges that white supremacy and settler-colonialism are enduring systems of hierarchy, division, and exploitation. These systems create significant inequities in our communities, but they do not operate in isolation. Oppression is mutually constructed based on categories including sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, race, ethnicity, indigeneity, social class, disability, religion, and immigration status. Just as all forms of inequality are interconnected, so are all forms of justice. Working for racial justice, indigenous sovereignty, economic justice, and all forms of social justice are part of the core mission of the The Black Altar.
The Black Altar works on the unceded, traditional land of the Coast Salish Peoples, specifically the first people of Seattle, the Duwamish People, original stewards of the land, past and present. We honor with gratitude the land itself and the Duwamish Tribe. We are aware that this land was taken from indigenous peoples violently – without agreement, consideration, or compensation. We acknowledge our responsibility to protect the natural environment.
To effectively support all people within the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ community, The Black Altar commits to proactively working in solidarity against white supremacy, settler-colonialism, xenophobia, ableism, capitalist exploitation, religious bigotry, and all forms of cis-heteropatriarchy.
