This is an old photo of cards I pulled for Friday, May 6th…it may have been from 2022. Yet while searching for something else today (Wednesday May 6th 2026), this photo somehow came up. Time is wild, I can’t stress this enough. I’ll be back to add the message I’m getting from these cards 4 years later.
You have the power to become anything you want. Set your expectations for yourself, and know that you will become whatever you think about.
How do I read cards for myself? I will start with the tarot pulls since those are harder to interpret:
I read from one of my many tarot books that instead of looking at the cards, step inside the scene itself. What is going on inside each card?
Card 1: X of Wands – the doggie is carrying too many wands = you’re doing too much and overwhelming yourself.
Card 2: IV of Cups – are you meditating or procrastinating? Maybe you’re avoiding something or someone.
Card 3: VIII of Wands – no people just wands moving fast in the air. Perhaps you’ll need to act or create something fast or a creative opportunity is coming your way (sometimes they say within 8 days).
Card 4: V of Cups – the figure is upset because there are 3 cups that spilled, even though there are 2 still left standing. Disappointment, grief, not seeing the positive side.
For the oracle cards, they’re easier to read because there’s words on them:
Card 1: Power – you have power available to you at all times. What kind of power would you like; is it self serving or does it help others?
Card 2: Talisman – stones, crystals, keys, rings, necklaces or any object that has magical powers can be useful in enhancing the energy of your magical requests and manifestations.
Card 3: Focus – focus on what you want. But make sure it’s in service to your highest and best good.
By the way, when I ask questions during readings for myself – believe it or not, I am not there to judge (this takes A LOT of practice btw). The tarot and oracle cards help us to “see” and “hear” different aspects of ourselves. A lot of the times it can be contradictory but if you learn that everything in life is contradictory, you’ll eventually learn to make sense out of the cards.

Elle Stanger has been educating people while actively in the sex work industry for years. If you want to learn how to act around sex workers (online and irl), you should follow her. Because damn, a lot of you act like this EVEN around non sex workers…like idk, when a woman is just simply existing online, speaking up for herself or has an opinion you disagree with? It gets so exhausting which is why I disappear for weeks just to get people’s shitty energy off of me…

This is one of those visually stunning, surreal, trippy, abstract, spiritual movies that you don’t really understand what it’s about until you watch it time and time again as you get older. I watched this movie way before I started learning tarot, before I started working with crystals and stones, before I became witchy, occult-y and metaphysical.
The movie is called The Holy Mountain by Alejandro Jodorowsky
The tarot will teach you how to create a soul.
Each stone has a soul, formed by the work of millions of years.

bookmark_borderTarot and Oracle Card Pulls // Sunday May 3rd 2026
In order to make magic happen, we HAVE to act. We can’t just sit around and wish for shit to happen. Today is a good day to be around friends, and to be truthful when something doesn’t feel right. As we age over time, lying to make yourself or others feel comfortable is more exhausting. It’s just better to be truthful and honest, even if the truth hurts. It’s better to be yourself. Yes it’s uncomfortable but not telling the truth becomes a burden on your mind, body, soul and spirit after a while.
Lots of wands action today; wands = fire, creativity, passion, action.
Go forth and make magic with your friends. If you have no friends, then be a friend to yourself – especially the parts you don’t like. People in your life will come and go, but the only person you’re going to be with for the rest of your life is YOU. So learn to love yourself each and every day and ALL parts of you.

Hand drawn & digital from 2011, turned animated gif art.

Title: Smile Now, Cry Later
Description: Framed 11″x14″ black & white, mixed media drawing
Saturday, May 2nd 2026: I dug up a photo of this old, framed drawing I did. I feel that it pairs well with the Raiders chola girl; as a matter of fact I think I did these two based on a black and white themed art show. Anyways, “Smile Now, Cry Later” is an oldies song, inspired by gang culture in Los Angeles in the 90’s. I have to admit, as a young artist I romanticized it a bit, even the graffiti writers took part in the subculture of tagbanging around that time. I was just the outsider looking in, observing everything around me.
Oh btw, I just realized I edited this post exactly 10 years later! OMG. Time is wild and synchronicity never ceases to amaze me.

If you grew up sometime between the 1980’s and 1990’s, were influenced by gang culture and watched Mi Vida Loca, then this mixed media drawing would be the end result. This is pretty much a throwback to those times.
Echo Park wasn’t a safe place back then. I’m sort of amazed at how much the city of Los Angeles has changed, for better or for worse.
bookmark_borderTarot Wisdom and Encouragement // Full Moon in Scorpio // May 2, 2026
View this post on Instagram
My favorite crystal shop owners whose shop has relocated from Los Angeles to Palm Springs – Mark & Martin from Spellbound Sky – have some words of wisdom and encouragement for you, my dear readers of this blog. The tarot deck Martin uses frequently in his reels is Aleister Crowley’s Thoth – the artwork on the cards is a lot darker, also some people discovered later on that Aleister Crowley was a racist. I’ll leave that up to you to research & decide for yourself, but for now I just wanted to share this.
As always, take what resonates with you, leave the rest behind.
bookmark_borderHappy Full Moon – Meme
Thursday, April 30 2026 — the moon is in Scorpio for the next couple of days, with the full moon tomorrow (Friday, May 1st). Deep, dark, intense feelings about something or someone will probably come up again.
Sunday, February 1st 2026 — happy full moon in Leo! I hope you feel fired up to do something that lights your soul on fire. Keep going
Sat Jan 3, 2026 — Happy Full Moon in Cancer! May you feel emotionally nurtured tonight. Still my favorite meme so I’m bumping it up.
Some apps along with my personal calendars say the moon is in Sagittarius, others in Capricorn. Shrug if I know BUT I always tend to feel more energized & motivated when the moon is in Sagittarius since it’s my Sun; determined and ‘into my work’ when the moon is in Capricorn (my Mercury).
I don’t have anything to say, as you can see I’ve gone ghost on nearly all my IG accounts or simply deactivated them. It takes so much energy and effort to be on there; I don’t know when I’ll feel motivated to pick up my side projects again.
Introverts gonna introvert I guess…

I hope you’re doing well. I’m just here lurking and being on the internets and pondering the next stage of adulthood: do I want a house, or do I want to retire with lots of money? I constantly go between wanting everything and wanting nothing. It’s hard to decide when you’re a Libra moon!
