To use colored emojis when you can just use the yellow hands… DIVIDATORY means to divide people based off race… no matter how big or small the inclusion is.
A pattern in which a spiritual or divinatory practitioner uses gendered relationship narratives, promised future outcomes, and repeated uncertainty to keep another person emotionally invested, seeking additional readings, validation, or guidance.
Divinatory extraction culture — a spiritual-media economy in which uncertainty is continually produced and then sold back to the person as interpretation, hope, prediction, and energetic resolution.
All of these new age tarot and energy reading folks are lacking a lot of context in oppressive frameworks that hold complexity for intersectionality thereby creating a vacuum of divinatory energy extraction to exist. Folks can be seers and oracles and leverage information and with hold other information as a way to generate profit and personal gains which goes against spiritual concepts supporting healing with the use of psychic gifts.

However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
