More random memes and stuff pulled down from my phone. I’m trying to clean it up manually.

“Someone asked me, “Aren’t you worried about the state of the world?” I allowed myself to breathe and then I said, “What is most important is not to allow your anxiety about what happens in the world to fill your heart. If your heart is filled with anxiety, you will get sick, and you will not be able to help.”” -Thich Nhat Hanh

I was religious growing up. Those who know my past know that I was made to go to church and participate in church activities. Heck, I even highlighted and wrote all over the bible I had. Oh and I also was painting graffiti at the time.

Do not be scared of the word “entity” – depending on your personal beliefs, an imagined creature or ghost could be an entity. So could a thought form, or the many contradicting thoughts inside your mind. Remember, the all is mind.

For those who are simply ‘sitting’ behind the computer – we are thinking about everything and nothing all at once. It gets exhausting.

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.

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?

Posted on by savethesavages

Ugh, not the best screenshot stitch I’ve done but it’ll do. Westworld is a sci-fi show about humans and androids, technology, consciousness, death, rebirth, reincarnation, past life memory, playing God, becoming a god, the future and so much more; subjects that my air (Aquarius rising & Libra moon) signs love. We started watching in 2016 but had to cut off HBO for a couple of years. We finally caught up in 2022, just finished S4 and are now revisiting the first season.

Have you ever questioned the nature of your reality?

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.

bookmark_borderDrawing: Transcendence

Posted on by savethesavages

I drew this sometime last week but added some stuff last minute:

like the zodiac symbols. I am aware that I have Sagittarius & Scorpio in the wrong order, counterclockwise starting from Aries.

I was curious about when I was actually going to die so I googled ‘death astrology’ and entered my birth date – it gave me 2055. I filled out another one and it gave me 2042. I guess we’ll see, right? Live everyday as if it were your last.

I was reading something on Reddit recently. It was about Witchcraft or Psychosis – something along those lines. The person was asking when is their practice considered witchcraft and when is it considered a mental illness?

I can’t speak about the mental illness part but here’s what I will say about my experience with witchcraft / meditation or spiritual practice:

+ You must always set an intention.

+ Always call upon your highest and best guidance when tapping in – your higher self, your guides, your angels, loved ones, etc.

+ Imagination is a key component to seeing with your third eye. How do you know if you’re connecting with something else?

+ Pay attention to how you actually feel when communicating with this entity. Do you feel scared or anxious? Or calm and peaceful? Are you projecting this being from your unconscious self?

+ Grounding and anchoring yourself to this earth would probably help before traveling; meditating often to clear out any debris or baggage in your mental and emotional bodies before you begin.

+ My favorite protection mineral will always be Black Tourmaline which I like to pair up with Selenite. I also like gridding with Quartz crystals and sitting inside a circle of them.

+ Know yourself inside and out. Your strengths and weaknesses. That way when a negative thought or voice enters your mind, recognize where it’s coming from and banish it.

+ Just like with people, you have to set boundaries with these spirit beings. Which is why you must always set an intention.

+ It’s possible to self-sabotage your practice. If we are creating our reality then we are most certainly thinking of it ALL.THE.TIME. What have you been thinking about lately?

I don’t know why I’m writing about this. There were a couple of times when I was new when I started to question my sanity, but not in a way that I thought I was actually crazy although I had moments of feeling like I was. But I am aware that there are people who actually feel this way 24/7.

Some of us are more ‘open’ to these kinds of energies so you’ll have to figure out what works for you to maintain a healthy spiritual practice. It also could be that your third eye might be overactive.

Something I personally like to do is check the astro weather. I learned recently that when Neptune is making a transit in your natal horoscope – usually with the Moon – the archetypal energies are amplified – dreams, delusion, fantasy. You might even be more open to psychic impressions.

Conclusion: if you find that you can’t control what’s happening to you then it’s best to find a therapist best suited for your needs.

bookmark_borderAm I a Tomboy Feminist Marketer??

Posted on by savethesavages

via GIPHY

I noticed recently that I’m not really into super feminine pages on Instagram – pages that look soft, pretty and overtly feminine. Super curated and absolutely perfect. They’re great, just not for me.

Look, I’m a woman and I’m definitely soft. And I’m also straight. But I’m not super feminine and girly at all, but I really like hot pink and pretty things. Even the word ‘tomboy’ is not a fit to describe me, as looking at the definition of a tomboy – I don’t even like nor participate in sports. Who the fuck came up with these definitions anyway?

So what’s this really about then? I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’m not a super feminine person; I don’t follow all the witches who worship goddesses as well as the moon. It’s sort of becoming a cliché, don’t you think? Even witchcraft is becoming a look and everyone is doing the same exact thing…

I’m down for all that stuff just not too much of it, you know?

Speaking of doing the same exact things, I’ve been following a marketing guy on Instagram who is abrasive and hard to like, but he is interesting af to me because he’s one of the very few marketing people out there who dare to be different, saying some real shit; and trust me when I say that I’ve come across a few marketing people already and have subscribed to their emails & bought their e-books. A lot of the stuff they teach is mostly the same bullshit, just packaged different.

I basically saw an ad of his – Ryan Orrico – and started following him. And trust me, I’m very hard to convince, I reject a lot of ads on IG; a lot of them are pretty bland and cookie cutter. As a matter of fact, Ryan “inspired” me (I put this in quotes because I know to him, the word ‘inspiration’ is a loaded term and he talks in depth about this in his emails) to start doing these random talking videos on my crystal shop’s Instagram page – where I talk unedited about whatever it is I want to talk about. This is actually working for me. How is it working? Let’s just say that by looking at my analytics, the talking videos are what people watch the most.

Now am I getting more sales? Not necessarily but really the whole point of these is to put yourself out there, imperfect & unedited…especially when you feel anxious and nervous about doing it, do it anyway. Because the truth is, you will never get it done if you are expecting perfection – literally spending hours editing the fuck out of a video to make it perfect or making sure your face is as beautiful and as flawless as it can be. Fuck that. This is what got me fired up to start doing these videos. Ryan literally destroys yoga people on Instagram who have these ultra cliché photos of themselves doing yoga in the jungle and basically making the rest of us feel like shit because we can’t live up to that.

I feel like the perfection part is what’s been keeping me from actually doing YouTube videos – I’ve only been talking about it. Now that I’m practicing doing these random talking videos on my IG page with a small amount of followers, I can feel more confident in doing it for a larger audience down the road.

So Ryan aka Yoga Sex Rock God if you happen to see this – thank YOU!

Anyways, what I’m trying to say about marketing and why I follow this guy is this: you have to stand out somehow. Marketing is all about getting noticed, it is NOT the same as advertising. Advertising just gives the information needed to make a purchase. It took me a while to understand this. Most people see marketing & advertising as one and the same because they can be used in that way.

Marketing is getting people to react to you or whatever it is you’re offering, whether it’s perceived as a good or a bad reaction. The fact that they even reacted means that it’s working, right? They gave you their attention. It’s works the same exact way when someone hates you – they hate you but they CAN’T STOP THINKING ABOUT YOU. They check your Instagram page daily, they constantly need to see what you’re up to.

This is what I’m learning right now from Ryan. New ideas and concepts cannot be created if we don’t challenge the status quo. The greatest minds of history were not liked at first, they were hated because their thoughts and ideas were different.

By the way, The Devil tarot card appeared this week yet again. I now recognize him as the antagonist, the angel who challenges God.
