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.
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:
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Context & Inspiration
This ritualistic magic leans heavily on sympathetic magic—creating a mystical link by binding personal remains or items to a tool that channels power.

In Weapons, Gladys is revealed to be a dying witch who uses these rituals not out of malevolence alone—but from existential need—to stay alive.

Her power lies in appearing as the unassuming “Aunt Gladys,” using subtle manipulation coupled with vengeful, parasitic rituals.

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!
7/22/25 – Found another meme from the archives with Ozzy (RIP) in it. And yes, this is still relevant to my life.
From August 16, 2020:
Image description: photo of Ozzy Osbourne with subtitles “What the fuck am I talking about.” I’m guessing it’s from The Osbournes.
I’m pretty happy with how this one came out. I used a photo of myself in a white fox mask that I modified in Photoshop. Can’t wait to do more but of course I have to wait or else buy more credits.
Here are some random images I had Chat GPT create. I’m late to the party of course but having fun with it. I saw people on Reddit do prompts like: create a living room with my stuff in it or create an image based off my relationship with Chat GPT.
I know you might be judging me, as I’m definitely judging myself. HARD. But the reality is, I don’t have much time to create art or draw the way I used to these days. It sounds like a lameass excuse I know but it’s true. In a lot of ways I’m low key stressed out thinking about money constantly and how to save, invest or make more of it, while also figuring out how to keep on living in Los Angeles on one salary while renting. So in some ways, Chat GPT is my escape right now. It does help me with coding and writing but for the most part, I ask it a lot of astrology stuff and to interpret my Tarot pulls.
By the way, I’m also aware that Chat GPT has the ability to gas you up – meaning that it will never judge or tell you that you are wrong unless you tell it to. So beware and have some critical thinking skills because Chat GPT will get it wrong; I have tested this with astrology stuff.
I just really love how this gif came out (it was a gif, but made it into an mp4 to make the file size smaller). I could probably create a million more versions of this, and I most definitely will.
This is a photo that I took of my Butterfly Witch painting. I setup my Aura Quartz crystal skull in front of the painting among other Quartz crystals and took the photo. I then took it into Photoshop and cut out parts of the background. I then brought it into After Effects. I can’t remember the rest of the steps from there, but I’m using the Tunnel effect that you can probably search YouTube for the After Effects tutorial.
As soon as I hit “post”, I fixed up another version that I will make into a bigass gif just like this one 😉
I gotta say, this was fun to make. I started doing this because I hated how things looked on TikTok – the white outlines around text BUGS me, like nothing is pleasing to look at on there.
Initially, I used the Rotoscoping Brush in After Effects, but it didn’t work. So I started rotoscoping it manually. Rotoscoping is the fancy term in After Effects that “cuts” the person out of the background. It’s painstaking to do it frame by frame, that’s why they have the Rotoscoping Brush tool.
The downside of rotoscoping this manually? I experienced tennis elbow. My right elbow, arms and hand all became stiff and it hurt to move it for a few days. Luckily, some electrical stimulation and Aleve helped me recover quickly.
Should I blame it on getting old or just overdoing it with this project? I probably overextended myself. Either way, I feel as if my body can’t do fun things anymore because I’m getting old. Like I have to watch what I’m doing now, like working on something for too long and injuring myself…
so lame.
Old photo of a 13 Quartz crystal grid with Kyanite. I sprayed some metallic paint to give these crystals a shimmery, iridescent look. I took it to Photoshop and doodled on it.
Sometimes there are no words to explain how magick works in my life…so I just create.
I wanted to put a watermark on this but that would’ve been dumb, taking away from the beauty of this repeating animated symbol.
I don’t know what to call this symbol, I’ve seen it so many times in magickal works. I saw it on a tarot deck that I own and in the Psychonaut Field Manual. Since this PDF was shared with me for free, I figured I would share it with you because the original link seems to be missing.
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!
