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.

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.

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.

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.

bookmark_borderMeme Dump #5

Posted on by savethesavages

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:

Hearing myself talk outloud about the occult, magic, metaphysics, witchcraft and astrology:

What the fuck am I talking about.

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.

bookmark_border051625 – Images Created by Chat GPT

Posted on by savethesavages

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 😉

Posted on by savethesavages

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.

What does the number 13 mean in witchcraft?

Gemini’s response:
In modern witchcraft and pagan traditions, the number 13 is viewed as a sacred, lucky, and transformative number rather than a sign of bad luck. [1, 2]
Key Meanings in Witchcraft
  • Lunar Cycles: There are 13 full moons (and lunar/menstrual cycles) in a single calendar year. This natural rhythm connects the number directly to the power of the Moon and the Divine Feminine. [1, 2, 3, 4]

  • Coven Ideal Size: Traditionally, an ideal or aspirational size for a witchcraft coven is 13 members (often structured as 12 members led by 1 High Priestess or leader). [1, 2]

  • Death and Rebirth: Rather than a terminal ending, 13 symbolizes a cycle of shedding the old, transformation, and spiritual renewal. [1, 2]

  • Reclaiming Friday the 13th: Witches often treat Friday the 13th as a deeply auspicious day for divination, setting intentions, and space cleansing—reclaiming a date that mainstream culture branded as unlucky due to historical or religious bias. [1, 2, 3, 4]

As discussed by community members on Reddit Witchcraft, seeing or working with the number 13 is often interpreted as a synchronicity or a nudge to trust your intuition and embrace personal evolution. [1, 2, 3]

Are you seeing the number 13 in your daily life, or are you researching it for a spell, ritual, or coven structure?

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.

bookmark_borderGoodbye Horses by Q Lazzarus

Posted on by savethesavages

I’m posting this video because I want to save it here. I also want to talk about Chiron for some reason. What do the two have in common? Horses – being that Chiron is a centaur in Greek mythology.

More importantly (at least for me) is that in my birth chart, Chiron is in my third house in Taurus.

If the third house represents communication, it means that I have trouble talking, or speaking or saying things outloud. This is true, as I am an introvert to the core. I’m not very talkative.

Chiron represents the Wounded Healer in astrology, meaning everyone has a Chiron in their chart; everyone has a deep wound that they carry with them in this life that they have to work on healing.

I just discovered this recently which makes a whole lot of sense now, a breakthrough actually:

Copied and pasted from Tea & Rosemary’s blog regarding Chiron in Taurus:

The person with Chiron in Taurus will be afraid of losing something, whether it be safety, money, possessions, abundance, or love. The typical Chiron in Taurus will go to any lengths to avoid losing their home, their routine, the people close to them, their favorite possessions, their money, etc. Even if everything seems very permanent in their life, they will always be scared of some unexpected loss.

This resonates with me So.Damn.Much. Without going into too much detail, even though I have worked for other people most of my life I have always dreamt of being financially independent, like free from a job. I wanted to freelance; didn’t last very long. I wanted to tattoo; that didn’t happen. I wanted to have a small business; I’m barely even making it.

I can’t seem to do the things no matter how much effort I put into it. Not to say this is always true, but I try and fail A LOT it seems.

Or I just lose interest.

So yeah, that is my wound. I am afraid to not have resources and so I stay working. I’ve learned to work with this wound by accepting that I am meant to be working where I work. It is not creatively stimulating 24/7 but I am good at it; it has also given me the resources to be the provider and to live a life that is good. I’m also able to give to others freely. That is all I can ask for.

On the upside, I have found that learning astrology has been really good for me. This time though, I’m not trying to be an astrologer or be anything to anyone anymore…like that time I was trying to be a healer. Looking back I feel silly about it now tbh but for one reason or another, IT HAD to be expressed. That was the quality of that time period, where everyone and their mom wanted to be a healer including myself.

To be fair and not be so harsh on myself, my friend did pass away in Oct 2019.

Then 2020 came along and said ‘nope’! Being of service to others is not for me, not this year.

Then 2021 came and my cat had to be put to sleep.

I’m just learning for myself for once. And there is A LOT to learn and my Aquarius ascendant really likes it.

As a matter of fact, I’m learning so much by practice – interpreting people’s chart aspects on Reddit. So many people have questions and post their charts daily…

it’s almost as if getting suspended on Twitter led me to this, a blessing in disguise.

Anyways here is an old, rough drawing of a centaur, which I must’ve drawn when I had green hair. I’ve drawn centaurs a few times because me = Sagittarius.

One of my favorite sites that had tons of inspiring images of all sorts was ffffound and Tumblr. And weheartit, which surprisingly is still around. I guess I have to look for my login but anyways the point of this post is that I’m probably going to post all the images that I’ve snagged over the years. Right now they’re just sitting in my hard drive with no one to appreciate them so, yeah. Here’s some of them.

I also apologize in advance if only some of these are credited. If you happen to know who the original artist or source is, please let me know.

Happy new moon in Taurus. Are you buying crypto? Taurus is an earth sign ruled by Venus so this is a good time to invest or do some manifesting around your finances.
