BB Of Red Jasper — From 17 Years Of Addiction To A Crystal Shop In The Heart Of The Bible Belt | Astrology Ride of the Day
Description
A vendor table at an event in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. A 10-minute conversation that turned into this. Brandiilyne "BB" Mangum Dear grew up in rural Mississippi, a tomboy raised in the woods, in a family church with no actual congregation outside her own cousins. At 28 years old she walked into a church she didn't want to be in, wearing the shortest Daisy Duke shorts she owned out of pure rebellion, and a woman touched her on the third eye. Seventeen years of addiction left her body in that moment, like lightning, like a possession, like being electrocuted on the floor. That began a decade as a pastor, building the biggest recovery ministry in her church, suing the state of Mississippi over an anti-LGBT law, marrying the first same-sex couple in her state, and eventually being crucified by the same community that once called her a hometown hero, the church erasing her name from the ministry she built. From the wreckage she opened the Red Jasper, a crystal shop in the heart of the Bible Belt, and built Akashanadi Healing, a retreat combining Reiki, past life regression, and soul retrieval. This conversation moves through fate and free will, the Last Supper as a map of the zodiac, why every trigger is actually a guru, and the moment BB realized the church that built her up was also the church that broke her down first. Know thyself. Balance your energy. TAKEAWAYS 1. At 28, the exact start of her Saturn return, BB walked into a church in rebellion and experienced a profound spiritual awakening that instantly and permanently ended a 17-year drug addiction. 2. She built the largest recovery ministry in her church, became a hometown hero covered by local news for 12 consecutive weeks, then was publicly crucified by that same community after coming out and leaving both her husband and the church. 3. BB and her wife became plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the state of Mississippi over a law permitting discrimination based on religious belief, winning locally before losing at the Fifth Circuit and being denied a Supreme Court hearing. 4. She reframes Judas not as a traitor but as the most trusted disciple, the treasurer entrusted with a sacred contract to help Jesus fulfill his fate, a reading that reframes betrayal itself as necessary rather than purely adversarial. 5. Her core teaching, "every trigger is a good trigger," argues that people who provoke us are pointing directly at unhealed wounds still being carried, and leaning into the trigger rather than avoiding it is the actual path to release.
