bookmark_borderFound: Death and Taxes

Posted on by savethesavages

Praise Jebus, I just got done doing our taxes. This year I went with FreeTaxUSA; I should’ve switched over sooner but I got comfortable doing my taxes with TurboTax since they already have my info.

Two things that are true in this world: death and taxes; you’re going to die at some point, AND you’re going to have to pay taxes for the money (income) that you make.

Some random images that I held onto regarding death & taxes. Adulting sucks sometimes; you make more money, therefore you pay more taxes. Sigh.

You might be wondering as I have been myself – why tf should we continue to pay taxes if the entire system was, is and always will be corrupt? The short answer is: for the people. The USA is on the verge of collapse due to Pluto in Aquarius but people still gotta eat and pay their bills. Not everyone has the resources to fight the system, but at the same time nothing can ever be the same either.

Just some food for thought.

Found this photo in my Crystal Healer LA archives – I setup my Seeking Divine Knowledge 2010 painting with my Aura Quartz crystal skull along with other Quartz crystals and Selenite with sprigs of rosemary.

Look upon this image and breathe and remember – all is well. You made it through another day.

May all beings be free.

bookmark_borderThe Devil XV – HK Tarot & Occult Tarot

Posted on by savethesavages

Tuesday 2/10/2026 // Edit: I wanted to add a photo of HK Baphomet and Baphomet from the Occult Tarot deck. Side by side, they look aesthetically pleasing to me.

Feb 3, 2026: I love this particular card – it represents my style – kawaii occult graphics. Also, purple and orange just go together really well. Again this unique HK tarot deck was a limited edition purchase from Etsy years ago so don’t ask where I got it from. But hey, there might be something similar?

I’m sure people who read my blog – including family members – will assume I’m a devil worshipper or satanist just because I’m into occult shit. What most people don’t really know is that the devil isn’t an actual creature – it’s a composite symbol. It represents the material plane – worldy success, addiction, obsession, people, situations or things that ‘bind’ us to them in a negative way (bondage). It’s really just an invisible force that gets projected onto people and things; for example – women, booze, drugs, sex, white people, etc.

Like when people are trying to tempt us, or even something playful as an invite to something fun, daring, or out of the norm – we usually say ‘you’re being the devil right now’.

The Devil is also associated with Capricorn.

Posted on by savethesavages

A lot of people asked me when I used to paint – why tf did I pick the name “SHERM”? Do you smoke it??

The truth is, I had a homie that wrote “SHROOM”. At the time we were just young, dumb little taggers and into drugs (mostly weed, acid and shrooms lol). I never did sherm though, I didn’t even know what it was until much later on (it’s a marijuana joint laced with PCP). The only reason I started writing “SHERM” was because it sounded cool and the letters really flow together whether I wrote it, tagged it, or painted the letters in spraypaint – they just went really well together.

So yeah…that’s it. That’s the big secret. Honestly hated that name after a while, but I don’t regret painting it.

Edit: oh btw, if you’re thinking about talking shit to me about “stealing my name or whatever” – take the name, IRDGAF. I’m just an old lady now reminiscing about it.

02/05/2026 – Sorting through photos and wanted to add these. The bird was painted by my lovely friend, Femme9. Her Instagram

01/11/2026 – Just reminiscing about who I was…I think this was the last piece I painted in 2015.

11/2020

Do you ever mourn the person that you once were?

It’s a trip how one’s ego motivates you for a long time. For over 20 years, painting graffiti was all I ever gave a shit about. That and making sure my profession was somewhat creative.

Then my mom died in 2006 and even though I still painted, the desire to paint consistently started to fade away. I’m not going into details, but other people ruined it for me too.

Your consciousness changes over time. You are the same person but different.

I didn’t realize that I would also experience a death of some sorts, but I did. I’ve died over and over.

Copied and pasted from my birth chart report:

Your Sun is in the 10th House of your birth chart meaning that you’re the sort of person who likes to make your mark on the world, in particular through your profession.

 

The Sun is in Sagittarius

Your Sun is in the Zodiac Sign of Sagittarius indicating that you’re a sunny and optimistic individual, with a love of adventure. In fact adventure plays a key role in your life, whether it be literally traveling around the globe, or metaphorically speaking exploring the world of ideas and philosophy. You’re particularly enthusiastic about anything that expands your world and helps you forget about daily chores.

bookmark_border020326 – Video of This Magical Labradorite

Posted on by savethesavages

While people bring photos of their loved ones to work, I bring my rocks lol. Everything I say sounds crazy anyways but for a Fire/Air/Air dominant person – the stones actually ground me into the present moment. They literally keep me from floating away.

Here’s a video of one of my favorite Labradorite stones. Labradorite is a stone of magic and protection, I always have a Labradorite stone in my pocket when I’m driving. According to Gemini:

The Sagittarius Connection

  • Calming the Restless Mind: Sagittarians are known for a “busy” or restless mind. Labradorite is praised for calming an overactive mind while simultaneously stimulating imagination, making it perfect for your philosophical and adventurous nature.
  • Stone of Transformation: It is frequently called the “Stone of Transformation,” which aids in self-discovery and navigating major life changes—a natural fit for the expansive energy of Sagittarius.
  • Spiritual Intuition: It is believed to help Sagittarians trust their instincts and break through limiting beliefs during their quest for truth and exploration.

This stone has been in my Etsy shop forever but no one’s bought it. Perhaps it’s meant to stay with me? It’s already been with me for more than 6 years so…

Feb 4, 2026 – I’ve been looking for this photo, as I don’t really take photos of my own tattoos. I think this is from between 2015-2017. This California tattoo was done by skateboarding legend Eric Dressen. Eric if you happen to see this, hi!

Jan 20, 2026 – Bumping this up just because. Saying hello to myself from the future.

Aug 23, 2017 Hello friends!?

I don’t have a whole lot to say these days. Selling crystals and stones along with marketing and advertising the small business I started in April 2017 is keeping me busy as well as learning and expanding my knowledge of the mineral kingdom. I also became attuned to level I Reiki very recently; I wanted to bless the stones that I’m selling with Reiki energy. So yeah, I am very grateful for everything that I am experiencing. I don’t know where all of this is taking me, I’m just here for the ride and following whatever interests me.

This year has been so different, doing the constant work on myself has been life changing.

I am turning 40 at the end of the year, technically I already am.? I don’t know wtf that means anymore as I don’t feel like it. It used to be a big deal for everyone, right? I guess for me, it’s not…at least not anymore.

If you are reading this, I hope that you are having a transformative year, I hope you are living your best life.???
