Introduction[ edit ]

Returning to Houston after several years abroad in Austria on what he calls a "research sabbatical," Cedric Washington blends into the city like he never left. Charismatic, local, approving, almost playful, vaguely numinous, he is every inch a mystic.

Since his return, he's had his ins and outs. As the consummate conversationalist, he's traded introductions and invitations in equal measure to rebuild ties across music scenes, cultural circles, and backroom community boards. His warmth and curiosity have won him many friends, but only a handful of confidants. He's also been figuratively taken apart at least once by the weight of the city's new politics. Beneath it all, he seems genuinely devoted to Houston itself - Third Ward in particular - and to some quiet network of mentors and obligations. As a result, in mere months he's managed to become a familiar name in places most scholars never go, though whether that's an asset or a liability remains to be seen.

Cedric Washington, The Kabbalistic Scholar

Cedric's mystical practice is rooted in Kabbalah and Jewish mysticism, filtered through his background in the Black Hebrew Israelite community. His years spent under institutional authority and the perspective it brings has sanded down the extremes of his old ideology, but he still reads omens through divine language.

His approach is syncretic and sometimes unorthodox: he studies the Sefer Yetzirah's letters of creation, and practices merkavah mysticism. To more traditional practitioners, his methods can seem sideways, but he finds his own coherent framework in the Tree of Life and its shadow.

Occult Services: Cedric can read omens about upcoming events or warn about spiritual dangers, help designing or performing rituals, interpret dreams, and give spiritual diagnoses and research assistance and teaching.

The Catch: Cedric's loyalties are complicated. He sometimes asks for unconventional favors in exchange for his help. His methods can be unorthodox, and there's the risk of strings somewhere in the weave, even if he didn't tie them, himself.

C-Wash From Third Ward

Before his career took a turn, Cedric was a student at Texas Southern University: pre-law and religious studies. Years gone have left holes in the life he remembers, but now that he's back home, he's eager to exhume what's left of it: the music, the community, the city that moved on without him.

Music: Cedric is hungry for the pop-up shows, the word-of-mouth house parties, the connections. He's into rap, classical, jazz, soul, and trip-hop, and he plays trumpet and bass.

Mot: Mot was the Canaanite god of death and the Underworld but he's also the Great Devourer, a god with a monstrous mouth and unspeakable hunger. Mot is also the name of his '85 Coupe De Ville because it's the death of his wallet and it eats all his fucking money. It's candy-painted atomic orange and outfitted with details like trunk lights that say 'KISS MY ASS'. If you don't notice Cedric, you might notice the car. You'd have to be blind. And deaf - when he drives it, he drives it slow, and he pours out grey tapes at full blast.
