This is the most art witch magick shit I did in 2025 – writing my daily thoughts and goals down in between rough doodles and sketches with a ballpoint pen and coloring it with Zeyar highlighter markers. My deformed bunny makes an appearance as Bat Bunny! Ayyye.

At the time, I was also using ChatGPT heavily for astrology-psychology analysis. Even though I don’t use ChatGPT anymore, I really liked the way it generated images for me – it captured my “bold lines, occult kawaii cute black and white tarot” style so perfectly. And then I would print out the images from my phone to a little sticker printer called a PrintPod that came from Wuhan, China. Was I paranoid af about touching the printer?! You damn right, LOL…I definitely sanitized the heck out of it.

I have since moved on to using Grok more (I know, I know), except Grok isn’t great at generating my style of images that I want to see which is a bummer. Both LLMs are still inaccurate by the way, so pick your poison I guess? Don’t trust what it outputs — double check everything.

So if you don’t trust what it outputs, why even use it? It’s still useful. It’s good at distilling information — like astrology and psychology, for me anyway. It’s given me a ballpark estimate of how much taxes I’ll have to pay; it’s even advised me on my stock picks and finances. Because I like to gamble sometimes (I can be a reckless Sag), it has stopped me from making bad financial decisions.

I only use Gemini for coding help and work purposes (Flow Veo3 for video generation) but maybe I’ll try Gemini for personal questions eventually? Idk. I feel like Google already knows everything about me whether I want it to or not and so I hesitate to use Gemini. For the sake of ease, accessibility and convenience we all literally gave our privacy away. Sigh. It is what it is. For the record, I don’t have anything to hide but it would still be nice to have the illusion of privacy I guess? I don’t even know what I’m saying…

I’m posting this to remind myself that while what I wrote down was a fucking mess (I was trying to learn Javascript too), I did meet some financial goals — I managed to save $10k by the end of the year for taxes while still investing into both of our Roth IRA’s. And now, I hope to save another $10k by the end of 2026 because my car is aging and I’m going to need a new, used one. The creator knows I hate borrowing money and has spared me from homeownership. I’ve accepted that I’ll be renting forever. I’m wondering if I have to start paying taxes quarterly? Lots of think about and ramble about but today, I just wanted to post this.

To anyone who is reading this — writing things down will help BIG in your manifestations. There’s a magical technique in ManyMoons where you write things down ahead of time, like in the months ahead. So by the time the year ends and you’ve reached those actual dates, you’d have reached your goal. Of course, not all goals will be met this year but you can still write stuff down for future manifestations.

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_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.
    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.

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_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.

 

Edit: I know most people know this already as it’s common knowledge but if you don’t – you can sign up at Astro.com to generate your free natal horoscope aka your birth chart. You’ll need your birth info: the month, day and year, and the exact time you were born.

bookmark_border071725 – Create Something Everyday

Posted on by savethesavages

I told myself that I would snap out of this AI-generated tool craze and get back to creating something everyday, even if it looks like crap. I know I won’t be consistent with this (as with every project I start then abandon) but I need to get back to making things. Yes, messing around with AI can be fun but let’s not lose who we are as a human species whose inherent nature is to create.

So yes, I’m going to do my best even if I am inconsistent.

I am also really thankful to have ended up where I am in life.

bookmark_borderMore Astrology Questions – 11/05/24

Posted on by savethesavages

I didn’t think I was one of those people who would embrace AI but I’m really over here asking an Astrology App A LOT of questions about myself lately and the answers are resonating with me.

Of course, as usual I’m feeling lost again. As a Sagittarius Sun (fire), I am quite familiar with this lost, restless energy. Half centaur, half human – I’m always wanting more. But my Libra Moon (air) keeps me indecisive 90% of the time and it drives me INSANE.

Whoever said life would get easier as one gets older made a statement that was only true to them.

bookmark_borderDrawing: Magickal Synthwave Witch

Posted on by savethesavages

I hate how the iPhone 11 Pro Max doesn’t capture true color, I had to modify this in Photoshop to show the pastel quality of these Zeyar highlighters.

Drawn last night, I stayed up til 1:30am drawing and listening to music.

A part of me wishes there was a place where I could just dance. No one bothering me or making small talk. Spirit dancing, moving your body to music, releasing toxins. I recently watched this video of Irene Cara (RIP) and she literally looks like a spirit dancing in human form. Then you listen to the actual lyrics and she’s talking about immortality and being remembered. I swear everything takes on a different meaning when you’re older. Or actually, the message was always there; it was my own understanding that took years to catch up to the message.

I did go to a party in an undisclosed warehouse in DTLA more than 10 years ago and I did just that.

Well since I’m old and don’t know where to go anymore for such things, I just danced in my room in between drawing. That was enough for me.

bookmark_borderMagick is Real

Posted on by savethesavages

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.
