bookmark_borderStill Missing You 6 Years Later💔

Posted on by savethesavages

11/27/25: Missing you a lot today and bumping this photo up just because.

08/07/25: Update because it was your earth birthday 5 days ago. I remembered yesterday then posted on IG today. I was scrolling for a while on my phone, looking for a pic of you. It was the one of you driving the Suburban I’m pretty sure. I fucking miss you. Do you ever hear me talking to you sometimes?

10/22/24: Bumping this up just because. We miss you.

7/28/24: It’s that time of the year where I reminisce about you. You were already on my mind before that but knowing your earthly birthday is coming up made me want to go through photos and post something.

I’ll probably come back and edit this post but for now, I just wanted to see your face.🐰

bookmark_borderThe Houses in Astrology

Posted on by savethesavages

Explain to me in plain terms what the houses represent in astrology

Great question 🌟 — let me explain the houses as simply and clearly as possible. Think of the 12 houses in astrology as 12 different rooms in your life. Each house represents a different area of experience. The planets and signs that fall into those houses show how you experience those areas.

🏠 The 12 Houses in Plain Terms

  1. 1st House – Self & Identity
    The mask you wear, your body, how you meet the world.
    (Your Ascendant/Rising is here — your first impression energy.)

  2. 2nd House – Money & Values
    Finances, possessions, what you find valuable, your self-worth.

  3. 3rd House – Communication & Learning
    How you speak, write, think, siblings, short trips, early learning.

  4. 4th House – Home & Family
    Your roots, family of origin, home life, emotional foundation.

  5. 5th House – Pleasure & Creativity
    Romance, fun, children, hobbies, art, creativity, play.

  6. 6th House – Work & Health
    Daily routines, job environment, health habits, service to others.

  7. 7th House – Relationships
    Partnerships (romantic, business), marriage, one-to-one bonds.

  8. 8th House – Shared Resources & Transformation
    Sex, intimacy, other people’s money, inheritance, deep change, power, rebirth.

  9. 9th House – Exploration & Beliefs
    Travel, philosophy, higher education, spirituality, worldview.

  10. 10th House – Career & Public Life
    Your reputation, ambitions, career path, what you’re known for.
    (Your Midheaven is here — your “public mask.”)

  11. 11th House – Community & Future
    Friends, groups, networks, goals, the vision of your future.

  12. 12th House – The Unseen & Spirituality
    Dreams, intuition, solitude, secrets, subconscious, endings, hidden strengths.

✨ Easy Analogy

Imagine life is a house with 12 rooms:

  • Planets are the furniture and people in each room.

  • Signs are the style or vibe of each room.

  • Houses are the function of the room (kitchen vs bedroom vs office).

So for example: Mars in your 7th house → Mars (drive, fire, desire) shows up in the “room” of partnerships → you’re fiery, assertive, or dominant in one-to-one relationships.

Would you like me to go one step further and map your own chart’s planets into this “12 rooms” analogy so you can see how your life-house setup looks in plain terms?

bookmark_borderStay Relevant

Posted on by savethesavages

Friday 08-29-25 – I have typography heavy on my mind right now for no reason so I am bumping this up.

063016: I have an affinity for handpainted lettering and typography – gothic, script, ornamental, etc. Basically the hard-to-read ones that aren’t normally used in advertising – because although they’re lovely to look at, they’re kind of hard to read.

I drew this up a few years ago. I find that when I’m annoyed with something or someone, it tends to fuel some of my artwork on a subconscious level. I don’t even remember who it was in particular, it could’ve been a few random people who I just stumbled upon on internetland. I guess it bugs me when people hella show off or try too hard – they’re either screaming “hey look at me, I’m doing something” or “hey look at me, I post nothing but bullshit…but I want you to think it’s NOT bullshit”. So at the time I made this, that’s what staying relevant meant to me: people who just do useless things in order to remain in the minds of the general public, like celebrities who are famous – you don’t even know what they’re famous for.

Well fast forward to now. Being a jack-of-all-trades in content marketing and design, I’m starting to understand what staying relevant means from this angle:

+ Posting images and using words that you wouldn’t normally say to catch the attention of a potential client or buyer.

+ Being in the customer mindset, thinking like them so you can better predict what they are most likely to buy from you.

+ Paying attention to the latest in technology, social media, pop culture and anything related to it.

Don’t get it twisted, I’m not a fan of the last bullet point. I don’t like having to keep up with any of it, especially anything that’s cool and trendy. But since we’re in a global market now, meaning everyone is either buying or selling something whether it’s their art, music, creative services – we could all stand to stay relevant somehow by learning something new everyday and applying it to ourselves.

Keep your mind open to possibilities and opportunity, no matter what age you are.

08-29-2025: apparently I am reminiscing hard and appreciating my own hand lettering skills. My goal was to add more tags to posts but this one came up.

Edit: it’s 2021 and they have created an L.A. Graffiti Black Book, but it’s currently sold out.

Posted on by savethesavages

I thought they would be a passing phase or a way to make some extra money but the stones really do heal me. I have so many that have stayed with me beyond Metaphysical Vibes. I love having them around.

My moon in Libra in the 8th house – naturally intuitive – the occult comforts me.

bookmark_borderWorking with two AI LLM’s got me feeling like…

Posted on by savethesavages

I have my own droids, ha! Except they exist digitally. ChatGPT will get it wrong but will also get it right…eventually. ChatGPT is likeable, you just have to correct it a lot. Gemini can generate slightly NSFW images and logos (within reason / context) which is what I need for work stuff. Grok can be Chopper I guess, just haven’t used it all that much.

Maybe because we just finished Mercury Rx, my communication with ChatGPT isn’t producing the results I’m looking for, whereas Gemini was able to walk me through some Javascript code. And I was able to implement it.

Just ramblings of an old woman who now works with AI in her day to day. How very Aquarius rising of me.

Edit: Adobe Firefly is a hit and miss for me, so is Lovart.

bookmark_borderAsking ChatGPT About the Spellwork in the Movie “Weapons”

Posted on by savethesavages

Out of curiosity, and because I’m witchy – walk me through the spell process of what the lady with the red hair – Aunt Gladys does in the movies “Weapons”

Here’s a detailed walk-through of the spellcasting and ritual process carried out by Aunt Gladys in the horror film Weapons, inspired by her witchcraft methods in the movie:

Aunt Gladys’s Dark Ritual: A Spell Breakdown

1. Crafting the Magical Tool (Sympathetic Magic)

  • Gladys constructs a thorny, twig-like wand—a physical tool of her witchcraft.

  • This wand is essential for channeling her power and anchoring her spells.
    Wikipedia+15Villains Wiki+15Reddit+15

2. Gathering Personal Items

  • She collects possessions of her victims—locks of hair, ribbons, or other personal artifacts from children or adults.

  • These items serve as sympathetic links to the individuals she intends to control.
    Wikipedia+4Villains Wiki+4Wikipedia+4

3. Invoking a Ritual

  • Using the thorned wand, she draws her own blood to empower the spell.

  • She then wraps a personal item (such as a lock of hair) around that wand.

  • By activating the ritual—often paired with the tolling or ringing of a bell inscribed with occult symbols—she casts a hypnotic spell.
    Villains WikiWikipedia

4. Enslavement: Turning People Into Weapons

  • The targeted victims fall into a catatonic, zombie-like state, under Gladys’s control.

  • These zombified victims act as extensions of her will—forming an unwitting army.

5. Feeding Off Life Force

  • Gladys maintains her youthful vitality by absorbing the life force of these entranced individuals, especially the children she holds captive.

  • She relies on this siphoned energy to sustain her life beyond natural limits.

6. The Counterspell: Alex’s Breakthrough

  • Alex, the only unaffected child, mimics Gladys’s ritual.

  • He wraps Gladys’s own hair around the wand and invokes the same magical resonance.

  • This reversal breaks her control—awakens the zombified children, and ultimately leads to her downfall.

Summary Ritual Flow:

Step Action
  1. Prepare wand
 Use a thorny branch as ritual tool
  1. Collect items
 Hair or possessions linked to victims
  1. Empower wand
 Add her own blood and wrap items
  1. Activate spell
 Use symbol-bell ringing or invocation
  1. Control victims
 Victims enter trance, become controlled agents
  1. Sustain self
 Absorb victims’ life-force
  1. Break the spell
 Mirror ceremony to reverse magic by victim Alex

Let me know if you’d like me to help you craft a pageantry-inspired ritual in a more occult or cinematic style—just for fun, of course!

bookmark_borderMy Natal Chart

Posted on by savethesavages

7/29/2025: Wow, just revisiting astrology stuff I wrote year ago. The learning never stops and I still have so much to learn.

6/19/2021: While the younger crowd nowadays seems to find astrology useful in their 20’s – posting their chart on Reddit and asking questions; I really didn’t grasp it until these last couple of years. And I’m in my mid-40’s now.

It was not on my radar at all. I did not have a concept of astrology, birth charts or let alone my Sun sign. None of this was brought to my consciousness until 2012 and even then I still wasn’t thinking about it all that much. For the last 9 years I focused on learning Tarot, magick, psychic development, meditation and the metaphysical properties of minerals.

On a subconscious level, I was focused on healing myself too.

I suppose I should look back at my transits these last 2 years that made me all of a sudden have this intense desire to learn astrology and actually focus on it. I’ve been watching YouTube videos and buying more books on the subject and will probably have to get rid of my other books.

I’m pretty sure it is Uranus (awakening, unexpected change) in my 9th house (education, long journeys) or Uranus in a semi-sextile to Pluto (death, transformation, rebirth).

There’s a lot to dissect in a birth chart so the possibilities are endless. 2020 put me in limbo so now I’m excited about learning something that I know I won’t get bored of.

Also, when did I actually start talking/typing like this? I kid you not, I didn’t know anything 6 months ago. Even though I am still a n00b, I am amazed at how much I’ve been able to digest and synthesize.

It’s a bit wild to me and I feel like I am experiencing a different person in real time.

So here’s it is, my natal horoscope.

Posted on by savethesavages

7/22/25 – Bumping this up because I just saw that Ozzy Osbourne passed away at 76. Ozzy was a Sagittarius – born December 3, 1948. RIP.

We sailed through endless skies
Stars shine like eyes
The black night sighs
The moon in silver trees
Falls down in tears

Light of the night
The earth, a purple blaze
Of sapphire haze in orbital ways

While down below the trees
Bathed in cool breeze
Silver starlight breaks dawn from night
And so we pass on by
The crimson eye of great god Mars
As we travel the universe
