Started sketching again. Mixing tarot card imagery and Christian Gnosticism, this was the result. Gnostic three of swords.

Originally created this when I was putting together Babalon Babes issue 4. Otherwise known as the Astrology issue, I drew this around mid-late 2009.
After watching news footage of Japan, I remembered this piece. So I’ve posted this up in honor of that country.
Gemini. Draw by Michele Witchipoo, late 2009. Originally self-published in Babalon Babes issue 4 (Astrology Issue)
It’s a mixture of the Thoth (Crowley/Lady Frieda) tarot deck, and the old Godzilla movies. Today some of you kids call it a “mash-up.”
Since the Lovers represents Gemini, I took elements from that card. In the background you can see Godzilla and Mothra. As in “Mothra Vs. Godzilla.“
Now some people are probably wondering – “What the hell does Godzilla and Mothra have to do with Gemini?”
I’ll explain. Do you see the twin girls in the front of the illustration? They were known as The Shobijin. The Shobijin could be described as deities, priestesses or faeries who would call to Mothra with either song or prayer. The twin imagery also corresponds to the Gemini sign. The twins is the symbol for Gemini, and it’s element is air. The twins shown here communicate to Mothra with words and song. Air signs deal with communication.
As for Mothra and Godzilla…sometimes they are allies, sometimes they are in conflict with each other. A contradiction of sorts, which can describe Geminis a bit.
In March 2011, I recalled doing this piece. Seeing Japan with the tsunami effects and the nuclear crisis, figured I would post this. It’s not only my tribute to the Japanese monster movie genre, but to Japan as a whole.

Mercury in retrograde has officially started. Due to this, I’ll continue with the trend of uploading old art.
This one’s probably like three or four years old. Originally used for the cover of my self printed sketchbook “Babalon Babes,” issue three.
Michele Witchipoo Illustration from 2006-2007.
If you find Babalon Babes issue three, hang on to it. Dunno if I’m going to print those up again.
Ugh. Already I’m getting tired of reliving these old memories. See you soon.

Back in the ’90s, I used to do tarot card readings here and there. Mostly at club parties. I think maybe two-three times filling in for this girl. The majority was for my friend Bejay Rose. He used to promote Club Kid/Rave/Underground parties at various NYC clubs. Those were the days. Never made that much money, but it was fun as well as practice.
Last time I did some club tarot readings was Bejay’s “Too Far Gone” party located in NYC’s Lower East Side area. Like around early 2000s. However, I soon stopped that altogether. Started taking the tarot and other divination methods more seriously. It had felt odd charging strangers for a mundane fortune telling, just didn’t feel right. Today, I only do tarot readings for trusted friends.
Well, anyway, tonight I had came across this online article about the murder of a professional psychic. Turns out some woman had gotten enraged over her reading, she decided to put an end to the psychic’s own fortune, once and for all. Geez.
I know this is a rare case, but still…makes me glad that I no longer do this:

An iv17 Sol 8° Aquarius, Luna 20° Cancer Dies Jovis

Now its time for an utterly ridiculous blog post.
Right before New Years, going into 2010, me and the boyfriend went down to a local pub. Basic fare, fried food and beer. You know, get in those extra calories before the new years’ resolutions. The ones where you swear not to overeat and drink. Yea, that one. Anyway, since the serving portion was huge, we decided to brown bag it.
Next morning…too lazy to make a proper nutritional breakfast and discovered this:
Interesting huh? Now you’re probably thinking, huh? At a glance it just looks like over-fried food. On the contrary, however. a closer look and this piece of leftover onion ring resembles the infinity symbol. The meaning of this infinity symbol is a mathematical one, (as in the number 8 sideways). Also in mystical terms, representing eternity with the universe. Sort of like the Ouroboro, the serpent devouring its own tail.
Take this tarot card for example. We’ll use the most famous deck of them all, the Rider-Waite deck. Here’s the first card, The Magician:
Look above the magician’s head. He is connecting himself with the universe:
Not satisfied with this, I decided to “magically” play with my food:
Now compare:
I was being silly, of course.
As for the food itself? It was consumed afterwards, except for the Infinity shaped onion ring. It had become inedible hard, so it went in the garbage can. To Will, to dare and to silently go into the trash.
