As far back as I can remember I’ve always seen my mother writing little notes here and there. She kept notes all the time on every thought that would enter her mind. Time eventually would go on and I’d spy her with coffee in hand, heading out to our back porch with the morning news paper, and her journal added to the mix.
I asked her once “Why are you always writing in your journal?” She simply said, “It helps make me a better person.” As a kid I kind of just accepted this because I had seen her do this practice so often. What I realized as an adult was that my mother was prioritizing her mental health in her own way.
Now that I’m an adult I’m trying my best to do the same thing with my journaling practice but, also using it with my spiritual practice. I always say, everything we do is spiritual in nature- What starts out as a whisper can turn into a scream if we don’t deal with it. The heartbreak you can’t get over, or the dream of owning your own home or starting your own business, those are all moments of inspiration we all need to listen too.
For this article I’m going to be working with the idea of manifesting a new job because currently in my real life that is actually what I’m trying to do and will report back on how this worked out for me, using this method.
So, here are four ways I use my journal practice as a way to expand my manifesting and help me accomplish my goals. So, far it’s worked for me and helped me open doors that otherwise I thought would have been closed off.
Back ground on me as a tarot reader and spiritualist everything for me that I do is part of my spiritual practice. Even writing this. I’m taking a moment for myself here because I genuinely enjoy writing.
So, Let’s get started
Number one: Make is a daily practice: Make sure you put the journal somewhere you go too every fucking day. For me I thought it was going to be by my bed. Nope, I got lazy and would walk past it. I keep it with my phone and make sure to grab both in the morning.
Number Two: Write down the date, this helps you see timeline shifts and patterns, When there is something I really want like a new job for example, I always start with the date and I write down at the top of the page after the date all the things I’m grateful for in this current moment.
Number Three: Write down under neath the things you are grateful for what you want. If, it’s that new job, write down the job title, the amount of money you want to make etc. The more specific the better. Make that your manifesting focus and keep that list and write about it every day.
Number Four: You have to do some fucking actual work to help the universe help you. If, it’s starting a new job make sure your resume’ is up to date and searchable on all job posting apps, network and ask people you know if they have or know of openings in that field. Even if they don’t you have planted the seed in their mind that you are looking for that job, your goal would be that hopefully they would remember you if that opportunity arises.

Hello to all my Witchy Friends, followers and just in general people who are creeping on my website. Thank you I appreciate you showing up here with me and for me. This blog is honestly kind of a fucking dump all. It’s raw and real and honest of what is currently going on in my life or around me.
I tried having an aesthetic or a niche if you will, but like my life that became a dumpster fire as well. You won’t find that here. So, if you’re looking for that I’m about to disappoint you.
Let’s get into it. If, you are new here “Hey, I’m Lexi”. I’m a practicing witch, tarot reader, psychic medium (I talk to dead people and spirit guides) I use these gifts to assist the living either communicate with their ancestors or their passed away loved ones. I also teach from time to time people how to do these things themselves because we are all psychic beings and there is nothing I do that you can’t do as well.
Currently I’m working on a few things/projects:
Tarot deck
The Witches Circle (My subscription group for next year)
It’s no secret that I love tarot cards and often use them in my daily life to help me make some choice’s about moving forward in my life or deciding which direction to take. This is also the perfect time of year start pulling cards for yourself daily and start a practice to get you ready for your next walk around the sun for what ever that is gonna look like for you. For this blog post I thought it would be great to share a new moon tarot spread I do for myself when the moon is swinging into Sag season baby. For most of my personal tarot spreads I like them to be short and sweet and to the point. Below we will look at a way to use the following new moon spread bit by bit and break it down. I’ll report back in another blog post on how my tarot spread worked for me as a treat to my readers.
Some examples of what I’ve used tarot cards for are
When to buy a house
When to have a baby
Will partnership or that new job work out?
Am I being spiritually attacked right now?
Casting Spells. Yes you can use tarot cards to cast spells.

New Moon in Sagittarius
How Can we incorporate this tarot spread into our daily lives you might be wondering right now? Well, the meat and potato’s of this tarot spread is all about finding a direction of where to go and maybe taking some baby steps towards this movement. But, this is the long game here for 2023. The vibe of a Sagittarius is to either be too stressed or not stressed at all. We are gonna go with not stressed at all. Let’s break it down card by card shall we?
Card Number one:
What is my passion?
Maybe you have been struggling a little bit with manifesting or where to go exactly. This card is really going to help you narrow your focus point. But, remember don’t rush into anything this new moon. We just need to dial in our internal compass that’s it.
Card Number Two:
What Am I not Committing too?
If, Sagittarius is your main sun sign this question could be tricky. I always say these sun signs are the least committed/committed person I know. They are always looking for better while enjoying what they have. They have the ultimate wondering eye. But, this can be very beneficial. The best thing we can say about this card is if, it’s not working out in your life whether it be a relationship, project or a job, ditch that shit.
Card Number Three
What have I left behind?
Sometimes it’s good to leave things behind. However, this is the time to make sure you have not gotten neglectful with the important stuff in your life. This could be with your spiritual practice or with your personal boundaries. Also, be sure to not leave anything behind that could need closure or some kind of resolution. We can’t bring any bad vibes into 2023 after all.
This was my break down of my tarot spread. I hope you use it and enjoy it. If, you do please let me know, I love hearing from anyone who read’s my blog. It brightens my day that this little spot on the internet can bring someone else joy. If, you have gotten this far on the blog I just wanted to take moment to say, I’m sincerely thankful and grateful to everyone who has supported me and my business in any way. It truly means the world to me. Even reading these blogs or sharing them. I hope they bring you joy. I’m sitting here wishing all of you the best and safest Thanksgiving.

Rx For The Eclipse :
Hold onto your spiritual selves people things are about to get rocky but in a good way. This lunar eclipse goes straight into Taurus season. Taurus characteristics that come into play right now that you should try and embrace into your daily life are money, loyalty, and patience. This is going to be an insane Tuesday, not only is this a season of eclipse but also a full moon and mid term elections will be decided. Rest is best during this season.
Don’t fret about doing too much or being too much right now. Take deep breaths and look back at previous eclipses and see what has happened around those times November 19th, 2021, and April 30th, 2022. I always keep a little note section in my phone and around those moments to document any shifts and turns I need to pay attention too. This practice has really helped me align my abundance and cord cutting rituals. I also document how my personal relationships with my partner and kids are going around these times and full moon and new moons.
Once you start to see the patterns happening you’ll be more prepared. Like for example I can never sleep during a full moon, so now I’ll drink a special witch tea before bed and it helps me sleep through the night.
What should you be doing right now?
Look at anything that needs to go in your life and permanently let it go, if you need some clarification don’t worry on these days the universe will provide. Secrets could come to light or people just being extra gossipy. The ways in which the universe brings these messages or awakening to you may not be in welcoming ways. So be prepared. If, something has been happening in your personal life that you haven’t been seeing clearly or you don’t know the way out after Tuesday you will begin to see the light but, it’ll be work. Patience is your friend here.
Some things to note here:
The final eclipse happens at 5:09 am eastern standard time and will depend on where you live.
This is the last eclipse of the year get ready for a fiery one.
.Typically we feel the affects of the full moon two to three days afterwards.
Signs most affected by the Beaver Full Moon Aquarius, Scorpio, Taurus, and Leo. Rest Bitches Rest.
Notes on the Full Beaver Moon
Expect karmic lessons to be learned here. If, we’ve been ignoring someone that person will have had enough and you’ll reap what you sow here. Taurus can bring us a burst of energy and leave us feeling powerful but we have to be willing to shift here at any moment, cycling back to basic values and being grateful for what we have not desiring what we don’t have is how we lean into this full moon now more than ever.
Expect life to be busy on Tuesday..
On a practical standpoint have a plan for Tuesday. Ritual items need to be at the ready if that’s what you are doing, maybe make dinner in the crock pot, and don’t let the drama grab you too much. It’s not worth it. Once the dust settles know you came out alive, be prepared not scared, you’ve got this eclipse season, it can’t hurt you if you know what to look for in your life that might run a muck. Taurus is a sign of patience and resilience. Keep grounded and you’ll be fine. Don’t forget to do the things that make you happy, a spiritual practice without happiness is no spiritual practice at all.
I hope you all have a great Tuesday and whatever you choose to do make sure you are putting yourself first. Also make sure if you are digging the blog you follow and subscribe to it to receive updates.

Understanding Shadow Work
By Toni Keniston
De-mystifying the process so you can do the work.
“We cannot change anything until we accept it. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” -Carl Jung
If you’re in the intentional and mindful communities, you likely hear the term Shadow Work tossed around like a well used penny. But what is it? And furthermore… How the hell do you do it?
Let’s get the boring, technical jargon out of the way first. Shall we?
Shadow Work is the incredibly complex psychological work of unearthing the subconscious and repressed aspects of ourselves. Carl Jung coined the term and practice in the sixties. This work expands on Freudian psychology which puts more emphasis on the sexual unconscious. Carl Jung agreed that the subconscious is an important part of creating our personality and dictating our actions but disagreed on the theory of how our Shadow was born.
Some schools of thought allow for the human mind to exist at a blank slate upon birth but Carl Jung challenged this by insisting that we inherited more than our physical traits from our ancestors. These inheritances include societal expectations that have evolved over time but also archetypical energy that defines how we interact with the world. This is known as the collective unconscious, which differs from the individual unconscious. The individual unconscious is created during our lifetime as aspects of our personality are fractured and shamed.
Jung introduced the term ‘archetype’ and the initial 8 which he believes every person to possess through the collective unconscious.
Note: Anima and Animus relies on traditional gender roles. Again, this is what we believe to be passed down from our Ancestors and has been refined in evolution. As our own societal norms shift and change, the expectations from traditional gender roles would as well. The author does not prescribe to the idea of gender normative behavior and is sharing the information as it was coined in the 60’s
Self – Integration and wholeness of the personality. This archetype could also be known as the Higher Self, the one who takes into account the other archetypes and has integrated all aspects of themselves.
Shadow – This archetype of self is who we often work with during Shadow Work, as it is aptly named. This represents the “darker” side of our personality, the one that we are taught is unacceptable in polite society. This exists within the collective unconscious but develops its own personality through our childhood and formative years. (More on this below!)
Anima – The idealized, overtly divine feminine. She would be represented throughout history as beautiful, alluring, and romanticized. She is sensitive, nurturing, and compassionate. The Anima exists within the masculine body and is often not fully explored due to societal pressures.
Animus – Much like above, the Animus is the aggressive, direct, and powerful divine masculine energy within the feminine body. Women are often encouraged to act submissive and to repress the energy within us that would fully explore the Animus.
Persona – This archetype is our mask. It’s what we don in order to feel safe interacting with others and while it has its uses and benefits, many will shy away from the work of interacting with and integrating the other archetypes.
Hero – This is our Ego-typical archetype. The side of us that views our journey through the eyes of one against a monster. We are constantly striving to overcome, no matter what our circumstances may be.
Wise Old (wo)Man- The sage within us that seems to know all. Our voice of reason.
Trickster- This would in many ways be the Inner Child. Jung often describes this archetype as naughty by nature, but today we also recognize that this childlike energy is often hurt and can act out in various ways to seek attention. It is the innocent.
So now that we know and understand these different archetypes that exist within us as described by Carl Jung, we need to understand more about the individual unconscious. As we’ve already explored, there is a set of expectations that not only exists within our current society, but that has also been passed down genetically. We are naturally predisposed to fall into certain categories and this is exacerbated during our childhood.
What we learn as a child molds our subconscious; it triggers our nervous system in a trauma response. When our fight or flight response is triggered, our mind records everything that happens. If we feel shame, or anger, or sadness, or guilt… our minds compound the information so that in the future we can avoid feeling this way ever again. This is born from the teaching that feelings like shame, anger, sadness, and guilt are inherently bad or morally corrupt. That we should only experience the lighter emotions of compassion, joy, and elation in order to be considered a good person.
When we attach our morality to our emotions, we begin the work of forming our Shadow Self. When we attach our worth to how we are perceived in the world by current gender trends, we stifle the exploration of the Anima/Animus. When we allow ourselves to feel weak, tired, and afraid, we torture the Hero.
Shadow Work, though it is named after the Shadow archetype, is the work of integrating and exploring all the various aspects of the collective unconscious. Integrating is an often overused word for acceptance. It is the relinquishing of power that our subconscious holds over us because as Carl Jung stated “What we resist, persists.”
In the avoidance of confronting ourselves and accepting the ‘darker’ aspects of our personality, we actually allow those feelings to run free. We turn a blind eye and ignore the emotion and in doing so we trick ourselves into believing that we are winning.
Still with me? Let’s talk about how this work in our real, everyday life:
For example, as a child I not only talked a lot but I enjoyed being center stage. (Leo Rising, I can’t help it!) If there was a camera, I wanted to be in front of it. If there was a crowd, I was ready to perform. I still remember this home video where I was singing at Christmas from a small book of carols. Everyone laughed and the camera moved onto my younger sister who was far more shy and actually tried to hide. I noticed this and, once again, stepped in front of the camera. From behind the lens, you can hear everyone start groaning and telling me to sit down. Telling me that I had been on camera enough, and I was being an attention hog. I grew up hearing that I was cocky and vain and a primadonna. Each one of these interactions triggered my nervous system and over time, my Shadow Self was refined to not ask for too much, to not take up too much space– to be quiet.
As an adult, I sometimes wear this like armor. I will joke around with my family if only to poke fun at myself, so they can’t do it first.
But how does this affect the Shadow? When I don’t work on accepting this part of myself, the part that adores attention– when I actively shame myself for even wanting attention, I unintentionally play small. I miss opportunities. I make myself unhappy.
This has been an ongoing work for me to this day in allowing myself the space and grace to be as big as I want to be. I have to work consistently with my Ego to say “there is nothing wrong with me.”
It is not our fault that we have Shadow Selves… but it is our responsibility to integrate, to heal, and to break these patterns for future generations. As we allow our children to exist in all their forms, we help their individual unconscious by never creating the tears and cracks that they will need to heal as adults.
Shadow work begins, at its heart, by simply getting to know your subconscious. From there, loving self acceptance and the freedom to explore life as an integrated human ultimately leads to us acting from our Highest Self.
Now that we know these archetypes and what Shadow Work truly is, it’s time to choose one and start exploring! Let me know below which of your archetypes needs the most attention.
If you’ve enjoyed this article, I would love to see you over on my site and socials! I love to share my musings and education on all things, spiritual and astrological, that ultimately lead to our own self-discovery.
I hope you’ll join me!
with love and moonlight always,

So, Is It Just Me Or Is the World shitter?
Hello to all my Witchy Friends, followers and just in general people who are creeping on my website. Thank you I appreciate you showing up here with me and for me. This blog is honestly kind of a fucking dump all. It’s raw and real and honest of what is currently going on in my life or around me.
I tried having an aesthetic or a niche if you will, but like my life that became a dumpster fire as well. You won’t find that here. So, if you’re looking for that I’m about to disappoint you.
Let’s get into it. If, you are new here “Hey, I’m Lexi”. I’m a practicing witch, tarot reader, psychic medium (I talk to dead people and spirit guides) I use these gifts to assist the living either communicate with their ancestors or their passed away loved ones. I also teach from time to time people how to do these things themselves because we are all psychic beings and there is nothing I do that you can’t do as well.
I can only give you my experiences and my experiences alone.
Today my husband asked me “Why does the world not feel real anymore?”
I responded with the most natural thing that could come out of my mouth. “That’s because it’s not, our realities are fading and we are seeing the structures of time for what it is. Not real.”
We just looked at each other for a second and kind of acknowledged I had just said some weird shit, and moved on. Sometimes when I speak it really isn’t me speaking it’s my spirit guides. This morning was one of those moments.
Lately I’ve been noticing a lot of my spiritual mutual’s or friends waking up to toxic environment’s that they have held stead fast to. Everyone I know is either breaking up with something or someone. It honestly refreshing and scary at the same time too watch.
Change is afoot in the best way possible because more and more people are beginning to notice the things that are broken around them. This eclipse season will be intense with that so the spirits have been telling me, vast moment are coming in our lives as a collective and it doesn’t matter if we want it or not.
This not so secretly makes me happy, even though also we feel like shit while it’s happening to us in real time.
What is this looking like in our daily lives?
More People seeing a broken political system: I’m predicting a full on collapse of both parties soon.
Seeing a shift in education for children and young adults : More people are choosing to homeschool their children and college admission is also down by thirty percent. (See link article)
More and More people opening up about their strange experiences with the paranormal or wanting to expand and shift their views on what spirituality is. We see this in little hints in peoples social media profiles of others becoming more “holistic”.
The reality is people are searching and seeking a bit of comfort in these really crazy and uncertain times. If, I thought a pandemic was bad what is worse is the fact that I’m now wondering actively if I’ll be able to afford to feed the people in my house next month and so are so many others.
Yesterday, I went to three different grocery stores trying to find baby formula for my young son which should not be happening. Yet there I was with people piled around me doing the same thing. Desperately searching for their brand of food for their young child. I got the last can of what I needed, but as I walked away with my three kids I knew if they didn’t restock the shelf another mother wouldn’t be able to find it for her child next.
I’m not saying these things for pity I’m saying these things to share that you are not alone in your situation. Our situations may not be the same but they run in a similar pattern.
How to Help Ourselves and the Collective?
How can we help ourselves?
We can begin to help ourselves and others by doing the following things. Redefine your spiritual practice the eclipse season. See what has worked for you and bring it back or try something new.
Start speaking to those spirit guides. If, you haven’t gotten right with your dead people or your spirit guides yet, what the hell are you waiting for? Changes are coming for you, and for me and for us as a collective. Now is the time to prepare for them.
How can you help the collective?
You can prepare for them by doing the following:
Listen, listen more to your neighbors and your people around you
Check in with people
Hold space for others
Help when and where you can. Help through donating time, space, subscribing to something for free, liking sharing something on social media, or purchasing from a small shop, etc.
You guys get the fucking point. We are on our own here, no one is coming to save us but us, so that is what we must do, say ourselves, work on ourselves. Or you will become the hundreds of dead people that come by and visit me wanting or needing help to move on from this world to the next step into their journey. From this psychic medium to you don’t be that person fix your shit now.
Thanks.
Have a great day, wishing it the best,
Lexi

Before my son was born, I had all these “plans” and expectations on how I was going to jump back into my life and motherhood in general. Please take a moment to see how the word plans is in quotation marks.
None of my so called plans have really done shit to be perfectly honest. Do you know how long it has taken me to write this blog post three fucking days. THREE.
Some of these life updates that I’ll share with you here are self imposed and some of them have been out of my control. What I have not been prepared for or maybe I don’t remember was how all consuming my baby would be and how the emotions of that good and bad would fucking hit me.
Now first things first. I love my children and have absolutely zero regrets on having them, and I’d do child birth again and again if that meant having them in my life, I truly believe they are worth it ten times over.
This past month I’ve found my self questioning my abilities to be an adult in my life, that is not absolutely insane and screaming out of frustration at everyone. The emotions of motherhood and also balancing being a psychic medium have been hard.
Oh, you think you have a ghost in your closet? I’ve been watching about twenty walk up and down my stair case at night while I’m rocking my baby to sleep and have zero energy to do any spirit release work on them so, they still walking up and down my stairs to this day.
Yeah child birth can trigger a spiritual awakening in which you can see ghosts. I happen to be a psychic medium who doesn’t just see them with her third eye but also her real life eye balls as I call them. Don’t wish for this ability if you don’t want what comes with it. I’m just sayin… However, back to motherhood..
But, I wish I would have better prepared myself for all the times I felt like I was disappointing my spouse or my other children because something wasn’t getting done that needed my attention. Those dishes I said I’d do two hours ago yeah the baby hasn’t stopped crying, where is dinner you ask? It’s gonna be late or whatever assortment of fruit and tuna and crackers we have on hand.
This having a new born thing has been hard, harder than I remember. Honestly, I don’t know why either. If, I could put my finger on what makes this time more challenging than the other two, it would probably be my amount of patience and the fact that I have zero these days. But, since I’ve been so busy reflecting and holding my screaming child every thing seconds, here is a list of things, I’m trying very hard to reincorporate into my life to help me feel more human and maybe this will help a first time mom struggling too.
Eating anything even if it’s a brownie for breakfast. I’ve earned that brownie after all.
Hydration. It’s amazing how water can change your mood.
Getting out of the fucking house. Even if it’s a walk around the neighborhood. I’ve recently started homeschooling my other two older children and we’ve been doing park meet up’s with other home schooling kids that have really helped my mental sanity.
Asking for help. I’ve always struggled with this. Even as a child. I wanted to figure everything out on my own and do all the things at once. I recently discovered that will just contribute to burning you out mentally while you walk around Walmart at 11:00 pm with a screaming baby and you will be crying as well. Don’t do that. Don’t be me. Ask for help. Take your breaks. You deserve it. You just gave birth to a fucking human being.

Take a Deep Breath:
These are the mantras that I’ve begun to live by sometimes they fuck me up in the best way possible, I’ll be going about my day and remember one and where/ why spirit chose to give me this mantra. It was a lesson you see, a lesson to dive deeper and maybe realize that sometimes, I create my own chaos and a way to change my inner narrative was me not being a victim of my own shit show, but rather acknowledging I’m in charge of the shit show and I can bring my self my own sense of peace.
I Am Fucked Up.
We all have to start somewhere and sometimes admitting we are the problem, or that we don’t have things together as much as we would like is the first step to success.
You shouldn’t keep pretending things are okay when they are not. Take the mask off and let people see or know if you are hurting. They don’t have to understand you, but you owe it to yourself to speak your truth.
I Am Deserving Of Peace
It can be so hard pulling yourself up from a really hard spot in life. Especially when others can sometimes hold us back. In these moments when we feel like the whole world around us is against us. Remember, you are deserving to have peace, but your peace should not depend on the happiness of another person.
We are in charge of our peace, how we seek it out, how we appreciate it, and how we can nourish that more in our lives. When we live through a state of peace and understanding we are deserving of it, your day runs more smoothly.
I Am Magic
I firmly believe each of us on this earth is a psychic being. Chances are if you have found yourself on this blog or website at all you are either curious about magic, writing, or walking down a spiritual path. Everyone is psychic, each of us has the ability to read tarot cards or communicate with spirit. I don’t do anything as a psychic medium you yourself can’t do.
Trusting in your own brand of magic is something that can be hard to do. You have to be ready to let go of any previous systems that kept you from this journey to begin with. Those moments can be hard and sometimes leave you feeling lonely. When you feel the most alone in your path recite “I am magic” invite your spirit guides to come close and bring any messages forth you may need to receive at this time.
I have been working with these mantras for years and though they are words, what we say to ourselves daily can be the most powerful spell work we do throughout our lives.
I hope you enjoyed this blog post, if you thought this was helpful, go ahead and comment down below and let me know which mantra was your favorite or if you have any personal mantras you use in your daily life to get you through the day.
The Lions gate portal is a cosmic event that happens every year between July 28th and August 12th, the peak of this event is on the 8th of August every year. This event takes place when we move into the season of Leo. Leo is known for it’s strength and determination. Which is what gives you the name of Lions Gate.
What’s The Significance of this Event?
Why is this energy so important you may be asking? It’s the beginning of high frequency energy opening up all around us in the universe. As a spiritual person we have the advantage to tab into this energy and use it to achieve what ever we are trying to cultivate in our lives. Anyone looking for a change in life style, setting new goals this gate is just what you have been waiting for.
The Number Eight
In numerology the number eight is a highly positive number. Number 8 symbolizes confidence, passion, power, resilience, karmic loops and infinite transformation. When the lion’s gate portal is wide open and on the new moon on 8/8, it is widely perceived as a golden opportunity to harness anything best for you.

Welcome to the first episode of my Kindle Vella dark paranormal romance. I’m going to be scripting these blog posts a little differently because one I love dark romance of any kind.
So, officially Welcome to the world of Elle and Rain. Rain is a male shifter wolf who has recently been thrust into power as his packs new alpha. He has a dark past and over half his pack is challenging him and don’t believe he is fit to be alpha of his pack. There are rumors that a war is brewing between his pack and another’s and the last thing he needs is a distraction of finding his one true mate. But the fates have other ideas in mind for him.
Elle is a girl just trying to keep her head above water. She’s living with her toxic mother and is counting down the days until she can finally strike out on her own with her tarot business and getting her own place. Her problem money.. She needs money fast with a looming eviction notice staring at her. Elle feels the mate pull and is excited to begin to understand it. But Rain wants nothing but for Elle to stay out of danger and go away. But, when Elle’s spirit guides warn her of impending danger for Rains packs and a protentional new romance for them both, can Rain find it in him to keep staying away from her?
Elle POV
Elle woke up to a blaring alarm clock in her room, the sun was so bright against her all white bedroom.
Ugh, she moaned, it couldn’t be time to get up already. Noooo.
But, here it was time to get up already.
As she slung her small frame out of the bed tossing the purple comforter over the mattress,
she could here her mother cooking in the kitchen.
Great Elle thought. She’s home.
Elle heard her mother stumbling around again in the kitchen trying her best to make breakfast.
As Elle walked down the hallway with it’s peeling yellow paint on the walls, a tightness burned in her throat. Readying herself for the confrontation that was coming her way.
“oh you’re home.” Ann spat out.
like, Elle was her roommate instead of her daughter.
You know our rent is due in a couple days. I’m looking a little short on my half.
“you’re always a little short.”
I shoot back.
It’s petty as fuck.
I can feel the burn in my throat as I spit her attitude back out at her.
I hate how she makes me feel small sometimes, like her world is dependent on mine for survival.
You’d think it was she was the daughter sometimes instead of me.
She stills, looking at me with rage in her eyes, as she’s scrambling eggs over the stove.
Taking a steady breath before we go into all out war, I make my way through the rest of the house trying to find clothes to wear.
I know how I can make some extra money tonight.
The strip will be packed it’s Friday in Vegas, and people will be out, drinking, gambling, hot and ready to know what their future will hold. The Vegas strip was just 20 minutes from her hometown of Blackwater Heights.
If, I had any sense at all I’d leave my mother and find a place down there, so I could be free and independent of her. I make sure I’m dressed in all black, with a low cut tight fitted shirt on. Showing off my best assets.
If people are busy looking at the girls, they aren’t busy watching me as I read tarot cards for them.
I hate it when people notice the little tic I have in my neck, as I feel the familiar wave of energy come over me once I shuffle the cards.
As I let the voices come in.
But that is my secret weapon. No one knows, that sometimes, sometimes the voices are right, that sometimes what the cards show me come true.
Grabbing my trusted Rider Waite deck, I had out the door and down to the Vegas Strip, hopefully I’ll have enough rent money, or enough money to move away from my horrible mother and strike out on my own.
The heat as always was unable as Elle set up her table and decks and candles. But,I love it here on the strip, the excitement, and buzz of everyone.
My spot is right next to the strip club called Midnight’s Girls. Max, the owner has always been nice to me. He looks out for me when I have clients that try and get a little handsy. Or mistake me for a stripper. The night began to flow in and out as some of my regulars would come by my table asking the same questions, ” Will I get good tips tonight?” “Will I find love?” “Is he or she cheating on me?”
Those are my favorite questions, because they are almost always YES.
But, I always have tissues and a little hidden flask of Jack, just in case it’s an emotional ending.
As I look down at my tip jar I notice I’ve actually made quite a bit tonight and as I’m counting I look up to see the most gorgeous man traveling with what can be only what described as a pack of other equally mouth watering looking men.
All Tall and beautiful, but they seemed to be following the one in front, all of them seemed to almost walk behind him. This greek god is the most gorgeous out of all of them. Just that one thought makes the heat in my skin set on fire. My heart seems to be beating faster.
Get ahold of yourself woman!
I chide myself.
He is tall, tattooed from his arms, to his neck and god knows where else, but I can only imagine. He has this beautiful olive skin and dark hair with these eyes.
The eyes are what initially did it for me. Not quite blue but not quite green either. For a second our eyes meet and just that one second I think I see a flash of dark blue hit his eyes, the feeling that comes over me is bizarre. I can’t place it, as I’ve never felt anything like this energy coming off of any other man before. It is also a look that make my panties want to melt off of my body as I feel heat rising all over me.
“Clam down girl”, I try and whisper to myself.
But, then again most men don’t know my little secret. My sensitivity to others energies.
The wind does a little whoosh around me. My candles flame flickers, and I hear my small spirits guides voice whisper “Not human”.
All of this is a lot happening at fucking once. I feel hot, bothered, and overwhelmed. As a sickening feeling takes hold of me, I finally realize I’m staring with my damn mouth open.
If, they are not human what ARE They exactly?
Oh, fuck. I’m fucking drooling. great. Oh, my fuck.
He has definitely noticed me staring at him.
Everyone in his little pack of friends have noticed I’m drooling.
Let me just die of embarrassment now please. But, maybe they don’t seem to notice me. They walk past me and to the doors of Midnight. Briefly, the greek god at the front looks at me, I could almost swear he looks like he could either eat me in a way that makes my insides want to melt or he wants to murder me.
His vibes don’t scream hugely attracted.
As the mouth watering group of men head to the door Max greets them.
Max who is wearing all black skinny jeans and a black top his usual look, big and broad shoulders with a nose ring and black painted fingernails is the owner. Steps out with beers in hand, smoking.
“My boys, I’m so happy you could make your way out of the woods to see me.”
The greek god and Max hug, and they walk in. Before Max goes inside he comes next to me and lends in.
“How’s it going tonight Elle?”
“Better than I thought.”
I say, with a sheepish smile as I hold up my tip jar. I know I’m as red as a fucking tomato, and Max seems to know why.
With a wink, Max says, “They are harmless to humans.” With that Max leaves me to the line that is starting to form at my table. As the night goes I I continue pulling cards for myself. But the lovers card of the tarot seems to haunt all of my readings moving forward.
I begin to realize its for me. Could this mysterious mountain of a tattooed god be for me?
