✩ about me ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧

My name is Glenda, and I've been reading tarot since 2019, and making zines since 2018. I’m looking forward to giving more readings to practice my skills. I use my intuition and the usual meanings of the cards. I’m also so excited to share my zines and become more connected with the tarot, zine, writing, and art communities. 🥰

Videos are uploaded to PeerTube and I will directly message you either the unlisted video link or a password to access the video. Reading topics are your choice. I can do the month ahead, love, career, spiritual guidance, pretty much any topic or question on your mind. If you can't decide, I will surprise you with a topic I chose for you.

⁺₊✧ DISCLAIMERS ⋆˚˖°*ੈ♡⸝⸝🪐༘⋆

entertainment purposes only!! I do not answer health, death, or legal questions. if you are in a state of crisis of any form, please seek help from a professional, hotline, or other relevant help instead.

I do free readings when I can, and I can refuse any reading as well. Please allow for about a week for me to do your free reading (I do these in my spare time). To get a free reading you must: 1.) follow my blog 2.) say in your message you read the disclaimer completely (and I ask that you actually read the entire thing)

no third party questions, I will only read the cards for and about you, or a person you are in direct contact with (ex. advice about the person you're dating, your job / boss, etc).

no celebrity readings

no nsfw readings (I'm not against them. I've realized it'll be easier to make sure I'm only doing these readings for people over 18 through Patreon. I've also realized I only feel comfortable doing them if the question is about advice on how to improve a sexual relationship, or explore your desires. Basically, I'm not a reader who will answer fantasy based questions on this topic. Example: future spouse, crush, etc.)

tarot reading only reflects the energy of the present moment, and therefore the real life outcome can be changed / different than what was read. also, I could simply be wrong (I am human after all). take all answers given with a grain of salt.

I will never message, dm, or mention anyone as a form of solicitation. I only accept potential clients who come to me. I will only advertise available readings by way of general posts. If it looks like I'm messaging you / offering you a reading, it's a scam.

I work hard on my writing (especially for long posts). For people making AI chatbots that are supposed to do divination (or people teaching any form of AI anything), I do not consent to my writing, blog's likeness, or anything associated with my work, to be used to teach any machine learning software for any purpose. My answer is no.

“Unfinished Painting” — Keith Haring

This painting was left intentionally incomplete. Haring began it when he was dying due to complications from AIDS, and knew he didn’t have much time left. The piece represents the incomplete lives of him and many others, lost to AIDS during the crisis.

“AIDS Memorial Quilt” — Multiple

This quilt is over 50 tons heavy, and one of, if not the, largest pieces of community folk art. Many people who died of AIDS did not receive funerals, due to social stigma and many funeral homes refusing to handle the deceased’s remains, so this was one of the only ways their lives could be celebrated. Each panel was created in recognition of someone who died due to AIDS, typically by that person’s loved ones.

“Untitled” (Portrait of Ross in L.A.) — Felix Gonzalez-Torres

This pile of candy weighs the same amount as Gonzalez-Torres’ partner, Ross Laycock, did. Ross Laycock had died due to AIDS-related complications earlier that same year. Visitors who see this piece are encouraged to take some of the candy. As they do so, the pile of candy weighs less and less, like how AIDS had deteriorated the body of Ross Laycock.

The SF Gay Men's Chorus

This photo was taken in 1993. The men in white are the surviving original members. Every man in black is standing in for an original member who lost their lives to AIDS.

“Electric Fan (Feel it Motherfuckers); Only Unclaimed Item from the Stephen Earabino Estate, 1997” — John Boskovich

After the death of his lover, Stephen Earabino, from AIDS, Boskovich discovered that his family had completely cleared his room, including Boskovich’s own possessions, save for this fan. An entire person, existence and relationship had been erased, just like so many lives during the AIDS crisis. Boskovich encased the fan in Plexiglass, but added cutouts so that its air may be felt by the viewer, almost like an exhalation. In a sense, restoring Earabino’s breath.

“Blue” — Derek Jarman

This was Jarman’s final feature film, released four months before his death from AIDS-related complications. These complications had left him visually impaired, able to only see in shades of blue. This film consists of a single shot of a saturated blue color, as the soundtrack to the film described Jarman’s life through narration, intercut with the adventures of Blue, a humanization of the color blue. The film's final moments consist of a set of repeated names: “John. Daniel. Howard. Graham. Terry. Paul". These are the names of former lovers and friends of Jarman who had died due to AIDS.

“Untitled” (Perfect Lovers) — Felix Gonzalez-Torres

Created by the same man who created the previous untitled piece, this piece was also inspired by his lover’s deterioration and death due to AIDS. This piece consists of two perfectly alike clocks. Over the course of time, one of the clocks will fall out of sync with the other.

In a letter written to his lover about the piece, before his lover’s passing, Gonzalez-Tourres wrote, “Don't be afraid of the clocks, they are our time, the time has been so generous to us. We imprinted time with the sweet taste of victory. We conquered fate by meeting at a certain time in a certain space. We are a product of the time, therefore we give back credit were it is due: time. We are synchronized, now forever. I love you.”

"Dear God" - Derek Jarman. Mixed media, (1987)

Untitled (Sometimes I Come to Hate People) - David Wojnarowicz (1992)

The last work of art created by East Village multimedia artist and activist David Wojnarowicz. Originally intended to be part of a series of 3, Wojnarowicz became too sick to finish the 3rd work in the series. Featuring red text sourced from his diary superimposed on a black and white photograph of wounded, bandaged hands, Wojnarowicz confronts his deterioration and impending death due to AIDS. He died on July 22, 1992 at the age of 37; the public demonstration held in the wake of his death would be one of the first political funerals of the AIDS crisis. In 1996, his ashes were scattered on the White House lawn.

“Every time somebody dies of AIDS, I think their lover, their friends, should drive with their bodies 100 miles an hour down to the White House, and throw their body over the White House fence.” - David Wojnarowicz, Close to the Knives

“Do it scared” “do it alone” are all great tips, but my biggest takeaway from therapy is do it messy. This is especially true if you’re getting out of a burnout, which I experience often. Literally just do it messy. You don’t need to pick the perfect trail to walk, the perfect playlist to listen to, whatever the fuck it is. You don’t need to have a meticulous to do list and wake up at the exact time you planned and drink the exact amount of water you planned to drink. Like the biggest thing for people like me to remember is sometimes it’s okay to do it messy. Put on a random yt workout and just get it done in sweats. Do 5 minutes of a daunting task and go from there. Sometimes just getting up is a win during intense burnouts or depressive funks. Literally just do it messy.

Being into the occult is really hard when you've done actual research because 99% of it in any western tradition is "white guy made it up/stole that from a different complicated system of occult philosophy (from a closed or semi closed culture of course) without any key context"
