The Year Of Transformation

A Mid-Year Reflection From the Journey

I’m On A Journey—literally and spiritually.
We’ve hit the halfway mark of 2025, and to say this year has been anything less than a whirlwind of growth, losses, lessons, and divine breakthroughs would be an understatement. Transformation doesn’t come pretty—it comes with cracked mirrors, unexpected solitude, and days when you’re just trying to remember who you are.

As a healer, I’ve come to understand something deeply humbling:
The healers need healing too.
I’m not writing this from some mountaintop of perfection. I’m writing this from the middle of my own transformation—still healing, still hurting, still rising.

But what’s changed is this:
I’m no longer hiding the parts of me that feel unfinished.

🔓 Stepping Out of the Spiritual Closet

For a long time, I sat on my gifts—afraid to be seen fully. Afraid my brokenness disqualified me. But Queology was never meant to be perfect. It was meant to be real.

So I’m reclaiming my voice. And I’m finally ready to share what’s always been inside me:
✨ Tarot
🧘🏾 Meditation + Yoga
🌌 Astrology + Numerology
📿 Words of wisdom, downloads, & spiritual storytelling

I’ll be sharing more on my YouTube, blog, and social media—offering guidance, tools, and real conversations about the Universe, energy, shadow work, self-love, and this beautifully chaotic thing we call life.

🌱 Where I Am Now

This isn’t a “look how far I’ve come” post.
This is a “look how far I’m willing to go” post.
And if you're on a similar path—messy, magical, and in motion—then this space is for you.

Welcome back to Queology.net
We’re just getting started.
Make the Universe bend for you.

'Mufasa: The Lion King' Movie Review + The Impact On Black Culture

As an actor I have had the privilege of being a bodyguard in the movie ‘Jurassic Games’ (2018), an extra/stand in for Actor ‘Ricky Whittle’ in the TV Show ‘American God’s’, and various commercials work, and theater performances which has earned me an IMDB credit. Movies/TV Shows, and Entertainment have played a huge role in my life since childhood. The stories, the characters, and the Worlds (sci/fi, fantasy, horror, fiction, animation) have captivated my imagination, and have influenced my creativity as an artist, which is why I am so excited about starting something new on my website. I will be reviewing movies, and TV shows, and giving my critical opinion, as well as a breakdown of the message, and theme’s I took away from it. The first movie up is ‘Mufasa: The Lion King.’ A sequel to the live of ‘The Lion King’ an adaption based directly on the original animated classic from 1994.

Many of us millennials who were born between the years of 1990-1999 remember that a huge part of our childhood was the era of Disney known as ‘The Renaissance era.’ The period was marked by a return to critically successful animated films such as the classics ‘Alladin’, ‘The Little Mermaid’, ‘Beauty and The Beast’, Hercules, Pocahontas, and ‘The Lion King.’

The original Disney animated feature follows the adventures in Africa of the young lion Simba, the heir of his father, Mufasa (played by legendary actor James Earl Jones). Simba's wicked uncle, Scar, plots to take over Mufasa's throne by luring the father, and son, into a stampede of wildebeests. But Simba escapes, and only Mufasa is killed. Simba returns as an adult to take back his homeland from Scar with the help of his friends Timon (a Meerkat), and Pumbaa (a warthog). The original ‘Lion King’ is most notably remembered by its incredible songs, and music such as ‘I Just Cant Wait To Be King’ and ‘Can You Feel the Love Tonight’ by Elton John. Followed by memorable merchandise, nostalgic kids bed sheets, and video games. The live action version was released in 2019 and stared music artist Beyoncé, and Childish Gambino who played Simba, and Nala (Simba’s childhood best friend, and love interest).

‘Mufasa: The Lion King’ the direct live action prequel was released December 20th, 2024. I took my cousins Jasmyne (25) and Marcel (10) to see the new movie and all of the nostalgia came rushing back, reminding me how much I have loved Disney movies since childhood. Lost and alone, orphaned cub Mufasa (Simba’s Dad) meets a sympathetic lion named Taka (Scar), the heir to a royal bloodline. The chance meeting sets in motion an expansive journey 🐫of an extraordinary group of misfits searching for their destinies. This movie stars two rising black male lead actors who are taking Hollywood by storm, Aaron Pierre (Mufasa), and Kelvin Harris Jr. (Take) What I loved most about the movie is the nostalgia factor, and getting a back story of the relationship between Scar, and Mufasa as we know them from the animated classic. It was refreshing to see the characters as young innocent Lion cubs, before they became enemies. A reminder that every villain has a backstory, and a reason why they became who they are.

The music in ‘Mufasa: Lion King’ was also good, and one of my favorite songs was ‘I Always Wanted A Brother’ the new ‘I Just Cant Wait To Be King.’ Growing up in a single parent family, with no siblings, the soundtrack really spoke to my soul growing up as an only child. The movie also featuring a returning Beyoncé (Nala), and her daughter Blue Ivy as lion cub Kiara.

I took my cousins to see the movie for the ‘New Years’ Holiday at our local movie theater ‘AMC Southroads 20’ (4923 41st St, Tulsa Ok 74135) We purchased the collectible popcorn bucket, cup, and plush for the movie. I also brought with me a painting of Simba’s son ‘Kion’ that was given to me for free by a local artist in Oklahoma City at an event where I was a keynote speaker.

The ‘Lion King’ Disney franchise seems to have made a lasting impact on black culture. I believe this is due to the setting of the story taking place in Africa, and the themes of African royalty, family dynamics, and a thirst for the African American audience to get back in touch with our African roots. Ask most black people what their favorite Disney movie is, and most people will tell you it’s Lion King. Most of us 90’s baby’s remember our McDonalds Happy Meal toys, or bed sheets, and plush merchandise for the movie which has left a lasting impression on our inner child.

If there is one thing I’ve learned as an adult at 33, it’s that the most powerful muse of all is our own inner child!

Sometimes I think I’m a star✨, and sometimes I want to quit! Sometimes I am celebrated, and sometimes I dont feel visible. Sometimes I am the most confident person🦋, and sometimes the demons in my head win.

I’ve been making music independently since 2015, and sometimes I dont know where this journey 🏜️ is leading me since I don’t see everything fully manifested or have everything figured out, but I hope the Universe is leading me to where I’m meant to be! 🐫

Interview with BOLDJourney: On A Journey With Quentin Marcellis

https://boldjourney.com/on-a-journey-with-quentin-marcellis/

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Quentin Marcellis. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Hi Quentin, we’re so appreciative of you taking the time to share your nuggets of wisdom with our community. One of the topics we think is most important for folks looking to level up their lives is building up their self-confidence and self-esteem. Can you share how you developed your confidence?

I developed my confidence, and self esteem from spiritual practices such as meditation, yoga, and breathing exercises. I also developed my confidence by exercising, and working out.

Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?

I am a model, actor, and music artist who is also a writer, and entrepreneur. What’s exciting, and special about it is that l I get to be authentically me, and effect my community, through, art, music, and entertainment. My brand also extends to be being a yoga instructor, tarot card reader, and spiritual healing for the community. I’m also a wardrobe stylist, and fashion is a big part of my brand as well.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

The skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in my journey were being digitally proficient in a digital age. Writing, and speaking are also a big part of my skill set, and success. The best way to develop, or improve skill is to read, and educate yourself. Also it’s important to gain some experience in the field.

Thanks so much for sharing all these insights with us today. Before we go, is there a book that’s played in important role in your development?

The book ‘ The Secret’ changed my life, the ways I thought about my own power, and the way the laws of the Universe work.
