WORST WITCH EVER

It's fun to speculate about alien civilization until you say early cultures weren't competent enough to build their own pyramids or until scientologists stalk you for every penny you have.

It's fun dressing symptoms in mystical language like "empath" or "indigo child" until you go through life undiagnosed, unaccomodated and feeling less and less human.

It's all fun and games until Tiktokkers tell you hallucinations are actually attunement with a higher dimension and that you should stop taking your antipsychotics.

It's fun to think about possession and changelings until mom starts trying to "save" her child's soul or dad kills his family for having "serpent genes."

It's fun to see natural formations as if they were manmade until you start believing cultists when they say flying saucers are Antarctic Nazis.

For centuries, people of all walks of life have turned to tarot to divine what may lay ahead and reach a higher level of self-understanding.

The cards’ enigmatic symbols have become culturally ingrained in music, art and film, but the woman who inked and painted the illustrations of the most widely used set of cards today – the Rider-Waite deck from 1909, originally published by Rider & Co. – fell into obscurity, overshadowed by the man who commissioned her, Arthur Edward Waite.

Now, over 70 years after her death, the creator Pamela Colman Smith has been included in a new exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York highlighting many underappreciated artists of early 20th-century American modernism in addition to famous names like Georgia O’Keeffe and Louise Nevelson.

Refreshing the studio! These shelves have become my mood board, housing my collection of magical treasures, antique relics, and mystifying wonders. The shelves are the first thing I see when entering my studio each day, and they never cease to feed my creativity or transport me to imaginative and magical mindsets. Over the years they have become such a recognizable part of my studio that they are now emblematic of the printshop! 🖤

Anyway here’s Lilly i love her (the drawing was done for my tarot deck)

One of the many interesting things about her is that she had deformities in her top vertebrae and the base of her skull that would have impacted circulation; blood supply to her brain may have been cut off when she moved her head a certain way, which could have given her very impressive episodes or fits. Of course it's not known how exactly this impacted her, but it might have included seizures, loss of consciousness, or rapid eye movements. In any case, things that would have been present from birth and look very unusual. Maybe this could be part of the explanation for her spiritual significance; she might have been viewed as being able to communicate with gods or spirits during her episodes. Of course there's no way to know that for sure. But the amount of grave goods she was buried with definitely suggest that she had a very important role in her society, and continued to be important after her death - some of the grave goods found there were a lot younger than the actual grave. Which suggests that people continued to visit her and bring her things long after her death.
