✨Wut Up, Witches?🔮I’m trying to get back in the swing of things, so thanks for hanging in there with me! Here’s my Tarot Forecast for the next week, with a card for each day through the 11th of June. Monthly SummaryThe Devil (XV) - The start of the month gives us the opportunity to face our demons and break any chains that have been holding us down. If presented with a problem or if you take notice of recurring vices showing up in your life, now is the perfect time to take accountability for your choices. If you want to see change, you need to make some change.The Sun (XIX) - The middle of the month, around the 14th or so, brings us great joy! Something wonderful is smiling at us across the way, and nothing but childlike glee is escaping from our auras. There is no benefit to stifling your happiness, so let yourself take it all in! Laugh loud, take up space, and don’t be afraid to share your light with those around you. Nine of Cups - Toward the end of the month, wishes are coming true! Keep an eye out for the wins, both big and small. It doesn’t matter how it measures up compared to others, all that matters is that you feel proud of your accomplishments. Don’t be modest; you’ve put in a lot of hard work and you’ve EARNED this moment of satisfaction! And no, it’s not “all thanks” to anyone else, let’s not downplay all of the blood, sweat, and tears that YOU put into this project. Daily Tarot ReadingsFriday (5th): The Hierophant (V)It’s not lost on me that today’s card matches the date… We end the workweek on a productive note. You may have gotten some studies or busy work completed, or perhaps you’ve taken the time to learn something new. This is a good sign that your mind is hard at work, and that you’re open to being taught by someone more experienced or knowledgeable. Never be afraid to ask questions! After all, you don’t know what you don’t know without being curious.Saturday (6th): The Lovers (VI)For the second day in a row, a major arcana card matches the date, and we kick off the weekend with something beautiful. While there may be an important decision to make today, don’t let yourself get too caught up in the details. How do you feel in your heart? Let your intuition, your “gut”, be your guide. When something feels wrong, you’ll know it. Just how when your true love holds you, it feels like safety and home.Sunday (7th): King of WandsA day of rest? Not for this monarch! This King is all about action and he’s not about to be called lazy. Use the fire symbolized by the Wands to manifest some motivation. Maybe that home improvement project you’ve been putting off will be the thing to tackle today? Whatever you put your mind and attention to, make sure you don’t forget to drink some water and eat a snack in between your hyper-fixated states…Monday (8th): Page of PentaclesDon’t be afraid to do something a little different today. Imagine what exciting opportunity might be just around the corner! Whether you’re starting a new job, a new class, meeting up with a new friend or date, keep a little joy in your pocket. Don’t sweat the small stuff, and remember that at the end of the day, you should look back on your actions with pride at your own bravery. Never fear rejection, as it’s simply proof that you took a chance to try. Tuesday (9th): Three of PentaclesFurther proof that you’re heading in the right direction, this is a good sign that you’ll feel good about the work you’re doing. It’s not “just a job” or “just a hobby” to you; there is purpose and meaning that brings life to your soul. You know the way you wish to go, so don’t let others try to steer you off track. Work together in ways that allow you to lean into your unique talents. After all, “teamwork makes the dream work”, or however the saying goes…Wednesday (10th): Death (XIII)It’s time to let go of expectations and remember that life is full of surprises. You never know when one path will suddenly end, creating the necessity for forging ahead and crafting your own. Don’t be afraid of “death”, as it’s not literal with this card (at least, not usually). In the simplest of terms, it’s time to “let it go” so that you can actually move on with the rest of your life. Change is the only constant in life, but if you’re stalling that change, you’re stalling your own life’s path. That’s not fair to you, is it?Thursday (11th): Wheel of Fortune (X)So much of life is about dumb luck or shit luck… which side are you on right now? Sometimes we do everything right and still end up at the bottom of the wheel. Other times, we could make nothing but mistakes and find ourselves confusingly at the top, receiving all the praise. Happy accidents and “freak” accidents are truly just chaotically neutral events that happened to affect your life in a positive or negative way without actively meaning to. If you’re riding a wave of good luck, enjoy it while it lasts! If you’re up shit creek without a paddle, just know you won’t be there for long.Weekly Tarot MessageFive of Wands - Don’t let down your guard, because this week might get tough! There is a lot of competition and battles happening this week. Whether it’s something serious or playful will depend entirely on your specific context, but there’s certainly some tension thick in the air. Be aware of your surroundings, keep your wits about you, and don’t go into any situation without a solid plan of action. Rely on your “teammates” (whether literally or figuratively) because you won’t be able to get through this on your own. Now’s not the time to act like you’re invincible, that’s how you get knocked down a few pegs.I’ll see you next week for another round of weekly & daily tarot cards.🧹Later, Witches!🌙 Get full access to Wut Up, Witches? at wutupwitches.substack.com/subscribe

✨Wut Up, Witches?!🔮Welcome back to a new episode and season of the WuW Podcast! We’re excited to be back after an unexpected and unplanned hiatus…TLDR: We both had a mix of personal shit that took up more time and energy, so we decided to put off the livestream until we could do it justice. For this episode, we mostly follow our usual stuff between politics, tarot, and general chatting between tokes-er… takes… with some added information on how we’ll do future episodes. So welcome to SEASON 3 EPISODE 1 of the WuW Podcast!We both have a couple of book recommendations and are going to alternate between chatty smoke sessions, FertiliTEA informational episodes, and our standard witchy content.

✨Wut Up, Witches?!🔮This episode of the podcast is a highlight of what I call “FertiliTEA”. Considering the current political climate, the attack on reproductive rights and birth control, it feels particularly important to talk about fertility and the myths vs facts.

Think of me like your aunty who isn’t afraid to tell you the truth about your period (and who always seems to have black cohosh on hand for some reason).🧹Later, Witches!💕 Get full access to Wut Up, Witches? at wutupwitches.substack.com/subscribe

✨Wut Up, Witches?🔮Are you a parent to a neurodivergent child? Chances are that you’re a bit NeuroSpicy yourself. Getting a diagnosis can be very tricky depending on the quality of care available to you.However, getting a diagnosis for yourself can make it easier for your child(ren) in the future. It can also be an act of political resistance. 💕Later, Witches!🧹 Get full access to Wut Up, Witches? at wutupwitches.substack.com/subscribe

✨Wut Up, Witches?🔮For Part 30 I want to address an important subject around women’s health especially… “have you tried losing weight?” If a doctor ever suggests that your weight is the CAUSE of your health issues and not a SYMPTOM, find a new doctor, request a second opinion, or even a patient advocate depending on the seriousness.Remember.. doctors are NOT authority figures. They are meant to HELP you and LISTEN to you, because you know your body best.💕Later, Witches!🧹 Get full access to Wut Up, Witches? at wutupwitches.substack.com/subscribe

✨Wut Up, Witches?!🔮Just a reminder, this is all my own personal opinion. I’m not a professional, but I do consider myself a bit of an expert as an actually autistic person who has been learning about the psychology of autism and ADHD and other neurodivergencies for over a decade.I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I don’t believe it’s possible to take the abuse out of a practice that was founded on abuse. There are alternatives to ABA therapy. 💕Later, Witches!🧹 Get full access to Wut Up, Witches? at wutupwitches.substack.com/subscribe

✨Wut Up, Witches?!🔮For part 27, I answer a question on how I deal with autistic meltdowns as an adult.

Discretion is advised. The 🌙Magic of Activism🪧 - Witchcraft is Political🌈This 2026 New Year has been heavy and difficult, very reminiscent of the stress and grief that accompanied the January 6th Insurrection in 2021. In fact, the day after the 5 year anniversary of that attempted overthrowing of the United States Government, ICE Agent Jonathon Ross murdered Renee Nicole Good, a military widow, a mother of three, and a wife. The news of this brought into light another death by an off-duty ICE agent during the New Years celebration, when Keith Porter Jr was murdered. The 🧠NeuroSpicy🌶️ SagaCombining the ⚕️Medical with the Mystical✨ to Live in Harmony with Ourselves…Since Elly and I both are Neurodivergent and I have been very recently (as of December 2025 recently) diagnosed with Autism Level 2 and ADHD Combined Type, we are going to dedicate a segment to talking about the overlap between the medical and the magical. How do we incorporate our witchcraft into our neurodivergent way of thinking? Is there a link between being neurodivergent and “witchy”? These are the kinds of things we will discuss in future episodes!You can also checkout our playlist on “Autism, ADHD & Other NeuroSpicies” where we’ll be adding videos weekly!🎴”Is He Dead Yet?”🎴 & “Three for Thee” Oracle🌕We’ve got some hopeful news in terms of whether or not Donald Trump will live to see the midterms in November this year, and Elly pulled some strikingly similar cards for “Three for Thee”! Watch us compare notes…The 🔮Witchy Librarian📚Every week, we’ll share if we’ve been reading anything particularly interesting, insightful, or relevant to the topic of conversation. Elly gave us a preview of what we’ll discuss next week, and I shared how life works in mysterious ways as I checked out my book by Rebecca Traister on December 27th (just days before Keith Porter Jr would be murdered and a week before Renee Good’s murder). “Your Personal Horoscope 2026” by Lars Mellis “Good and Mad | The Revolutionary Power of Women’s Anger” by Rebecca TraisterNext Week on ✨WuW🔮…Astrology and Horoscopes for 2026!

Another chillingly relevant read for 2025. I immediately think of Adrianna Smith and her son, Chance, who is now receiving extensive treatment. My heart aches for Chase, her young boy who cried by her side before they finally allowed her body to rest.Adrianna Smith should be here. But she’s not. She should be alive to hold Chase and read him bedtime stories and help him with homework. Her mother, April Newkirk, should be consoling her about losing her pregnancy. Not having to spend every single dollar they have and receive through their GoFundMe on paying for Chance’s extensive and likely lifelong medical care.

✨Wut Up, Witches?!🔮We are FINALLY caught up with my 🌈Au/DHD and Neuro🌶️ Collection!The stigma associated with being neurodivergent, especially autistic, is unfortunately still very real in today’s society. If we had a more inclusive public awareness and governmental benefits program for ALL children, then the ND ones wouldn’t fall through the cracks so much. However, as it currently stands, many adults are still battling their own internalized ableism.⚠️Starting Wednesday, January 7th⚠️ I will post a weekly video on the topic of Neurodivergence and my journey as a late diagnosed Autistic L2 and ADHD-combined type adult. If you have a question you want me to answer, or a topic idea, drop it in the comments! 💬Later, Witches 😘 Get full access to Wut Up, Witches? at wutupwitches.substack.com/subscribe

Wut Up, Witches?!How did I find my doctor / testing center? Well, I’ll be honest… if you can use a computer, it’s really easy. For part 21, I do discuss barriers to finding care, treatment, and diagnosis, as where you live and your insurance or financial situation is going to make a HUGE difference in your options.There is only one part left in my Au/DHD and Neuro🌶️ Collection from TikTok! Thank you all for bearing with me while I’m getting content shifted over.Later, Witches! 😘 Get full access to Wut Up, Witches? at wutupwitches.substack.com/subscribe

Wut Up, Witches?!Why don’t we use the diagnosis of Asperger’s Syndrome anymore? For part 20 I give a brief rundown on the DSM4 vs DSM5 and what used to be labeled Asperger’s is now Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Level 1.While the term may not be assigned anymore, it’s up to you if you still prefer using your original diagnosis or the updated version. After all, we can’t expect a group of people who are known to HATE CHANGE to be cool with randomly changing an integral part of their identity.Later, Witches! 😘 Get full access to Wut Up, Witches? at wutupwitches.substack.com/subscribe

Wut Up, Witches?!For part 19 I share how I personally went through my skill regressions and burnouts over the years, and specifically the big one that left me more disabled than ever. If I were diagnosed as a kid, I guarantee I would’ve been labeled level 1. As an adult, I’ve lost so much that I struggle more than ever, and am diagnosed level 2. Skills can be regained, but it takes time. Be patient and kind with yourself while you recover. It’s not a race, and pushing yourself before you’re ready is only going to push you back into burnout.Later, Witches 😘 Get full access to Wut Up, Witches? at wutupwitches.substack.com/subscribe

Wut Up, Witches?!Have you ever questioned if you’re the “only one” in your family who struggles with neurodivergence? I have a secret to share… Unless you’re NOT genetically related to your family, it didn’t come from thin air. Someone in your gene pool shares the same struggles.I also can’t wait for my mom to realize exactly how autistic my dad was… that man… “the most normal man she ever knew”… was autistic as FUCK!Later, Witches 😘 Get full access to Wut Up, Witches? at wutupwitches.substack.com/subscribe

Wut Up, Witches?!How can you tell if you were actually diagnosed accurately? Part 17 I share how my ADHD was originally MISSED! Despite having had a soft-diagnosis already in a different state AND a mother who is officially diagnosed, I masked too well during the exam that my autism overshadowed my ADHD. So what did I do about it? I spoke up!Don’t ever be afraid to be your own self-advocate or to ask for a second opinion. It’s okay to question the professionals because they might be the experts on the disorder, but only YOU are the expert when it comes to knowing yourself.

Wut Up, Witches?!We always want to help our loved ones, just remember… you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink. For part 16, I go over some ways you can encourage your friend by providing them with information, but otherwise leaving them alone. Remember, it’s not our job to save everyone. If people want help, they’ll ask for it. If you’ve offered and they declined, just make sure they know the offer still stands and then leave the ball in their court. This is true for pretty much all contexts, not just for autism and ADHD.Later, witches! 😘 Get full access to Wut Up, Witches? at wutupwitches.substack.com/subscribe

Wut Up, Witches?!Did I feel relief with my diagnosis? Yes, but part 15 also highlights the vindication I felt and the exhaustion, too… I use a similar car metaphor to describe executive dysfunction. It’s a very helpful visualization when you need to explain the disconnect between your mind and body.Later, Witches 😘 Get full access to Wut Up, Witches? at wutupwitches.substack.com/subscribe

Wut Up, Witches?!In part 14, I want to address this kind of common (and usually mean-spirited) question… “and now what?” Piggybacking off of a previous video where I mention the awful “why get diagnosed? There’s no cure for autism”, the fact is that having a label means I can better advocate for myself and my children.Do you crochet or knit or craft in any way? This is a common self-regulation technique! What other ways do you find yourself regulating?Later, witches 😘 Get full access to Wut Up, Witches? at wutupwitches.substack.com/subscribe

Wut Up, Witches? For this part 13, I talk about how even the most extensive testing by today’s DSM5 standards can STILL result in a misdiagnosis. Self-Advocacy is crucial here!My diagnosis journey has been a real eye opening experience, not just with my mental health but also with my understanding of my own spirituality and witchcraft. I’m excited to explore this more on a weekly basis!Later, Witches 😘 Get full access to Wut Up, Witches? at wutupwitches.substack.com/subscribe

Wut Up, Witches?!If you’re autistic AF as I am, you may have heard the annoying phrases that minimize your desire for a label. “There’s no cure for autism, why get diagnosed?” Part 12 talks about that stigma and where to go to find additional resources when the doctors are just another obstacle in your path.P.S.
