Magdalena de Aguíla for WORLD BURN ALTERNATIVE UNIVERSE EVENT
what if her father was never had a life of crime?
— BASICS
full name: magadelena jimena de aguíla
preferred name: magda, mags, mj
affiliation: civilian
occupation: tattoo artist at la aguíla parlor, cartel affiliate
— THE SIMILARITIES
Her parents still had an arranged marriage, set up through their parents as both families had been lifelong friends for generations
She still grew up admiring her brothers and fathers and established early on wanting to be like them when she got older enough
Magda still worked hard in school so she could one day take over the family business herself
Magda’s mother still showed and taught her the family ways with tarot readings and palmistry
Her brothers and father throughout her life growing up still taught her to fight and defend herself especially on days or nights she’d be on her own or only with her mother
— THE DIFFERENCES
Her father grew up to inherit his father’s tattoo parlor, eventually opening his own shop after moving to Florida when Magda was born
One by one her brothers apprenticed at their father’s shop with her eldest brother working alongside their father and the twins opening their own shop together. Magda works in both shops but mainly with her father and eldest brother
Magda went to college for and graduated with a degree in business management before her apprenticeship with her father per her mother’s wishes for her to get her education
Magda made the move to New York for college but would return home on breaks to help out at her dad’s shop with the promise he would aid in the funding and opening of her own shop once she graduated
Once she graduated college, her father fulfilled her promise and now Magda runs her own female operated tattoo parlor, La Aguíla Parlor
— THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT
Because her father never went through a criminal past, Magda never had the desire to become one herself and never went seeking The Cartel
Though he was no criminal, her father was still connected to his old friends who had been and therefore the family had connections to those in the criminal underworld without actually being criminals themselves
Magda was brought up to respect family and those that looked out for the family and well she had no higher up or official gang position, she still affiliated herself with the Cartel and made she to look out for those who were members if they came to her with any need
Lilia es la mujer que lleva una flor escondida en su mochila. Llegó a casa y su flor murió. Al día siguiente lo intentó de nuevo, pero tampoco funcionó. Pasaron años hasta que encontró un cactus fuera del trabajo, lo guardó y sobrevivió hasta el hogar. Al día siguiente empacó sus maletas y nunca volvió a México. Dejó su cactus en la puerta, con una nota para su hermano: “Espérame, que no tardo.”
Natasha es la mujer que perdió el habla. Vende paletas y chicles, a cinco y dos pesos. Bailó y cantó en los mejores bares del norte de la ciudad, cuando tenía veinte y veinticinco años. Hoy sobrevive con muestras de pena y miedo. Al anochecer solo le queda tararear sobre las bancas y entre los borrachos. Sueña con el escenario, su pasión más intensa, su último amor.
Irma es la mujer que tiene un tatuaje en forma de flor en el tobillo. Extranjera con padre mexicano. Hermana de un chico desaparecido a sus quince años. Hoy escribe de México como si en verdad lo conociera. Mañana es el funeral de su padre. Piensa que la flor de cempasúchil se da todo el año. Ingenua, hermosa, y va por la vida tan perdida.
Las mujeres del turbante blanco se enseñan a leer las manos y el tarot. Odian el humo de mi cigarro. En una pizarra blanca hablan del futuro, presente y del copretérito. Beben mate y entretienen sus conversaciones con magdalenas y croissants. Conocen mi futuro mas no mi pasado. Conozco su presente mas no su futuro. Nos acompañamos durante el cáncer de una de ellas. Nos leemos para olvidar las voces de nuestras cabezas. Me cubren con turbantes blancos en forma de amor y compañía. Ahora puedo ver mi futuro, pero no mi presente ni pasado.
Gustavo y su grupo de actores caminan en círculo. Me miran con desconfianza. La obra se presenta en quince días. La protagonista se fue a vivir a Noruega. Dos jóvenes comienzan a enamorarse entre sus parlamentos. Dos gritos al cielo terminan con la obra. Salen y toman vino sobre los matorrales. Ellos no saben que los estoy inventando. Uno de ellos emprende el vuelo, y otro se hunde en la tierra. Dos siguen bebiendo y fumando. Uno se vuelve ceniza y otro cae al suelo en forma de río. Todos aplauden por la obra. Todos menos yo, que no puedo recuperarme de lo que acabo de ver.
For today's daily tarot and oracle card reading, I pulled the Two of Pentacles and the Devil cards from the Dark Mansion Tarot Deck by Krzysztof Wasiuk and Magdalena Kaczan. These cards warn us that someone might be working behind the scenes to upset your lifestyle - beware!

Sneak Peek at the Next Tarot Card from Where There is No Night
Sneak Peek of a part of the Hanged Man Card for Where There is No Night. It’s still a work in progress but has been digitally enhanced. I will be coloring the card when it’s finished
Production of Magdalena Tarot Magazine Issue 2: The High Priestess Cancer is underway! This month we welcome our 5th staff member who will be working with Snow Torres to create the Tarot cards that accompany each…
Frida Kahlo, née Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo y Calderón, was born at her family's Mexico City home, La Casa Azul (the Blue House). Friday faced difficult emotional and physical obstacles from an early age. Her parents were unhappy together and made no secret of the conflict between them. When Frida was six, she contracted polio, which affected the growth of her legs and ultimately resulted in her right leg being shorter and thinner than her left. Aside from her three sisters, Frida was isolated from other children because of her illness. In the shadow of her parents' poor relationship, Frida had a tense connection with her mother, whom she admired for her intellect but resented for her devotion to Catholicism. Frida was closer to her father, who mentored her in many subjects, including his his own artistic medium, photography. She had a keen aesthetic sensibility from an early age but did not aspire to become an artist. She wanted to become a doctor.
One afternoon when she was eighteen, a bus she was riding collided with a streetcar. There were several fatalities among the passengers, and Frida herself was nearly killed. Several of her ribs, both her legs, and her collarbone were broken, and many of her spinal vertebrae were displaced. Most gruesomely, an iron handrail impaled her lower body, breaking her pelvis.
Frida spent many months recovering from the accident in her bed at La Casa Azul. She gave up on returning to her studies to become a doctor. However, she contemplated that perhaps she could combine her interest in science with her artistic abilities and become a competent medical illustrator. Having nothing but...

Dear Aria, I love dancing with you it’s all vibes and fun, I like you a lot and I’m just waiting for the right time to let you know just how much you mean to me. I’ve been looking for someone like you all my life, it’s so exhilarating to be around you, I don’t know what to expect. I want you in my life, come be a part of it. I can’t get you outta my mind what magic are you using on me? You have it so easy, don’t you? I can’t even go to bed because you’re all I’m seeing, I can’t stop thinking about us and what we could be. I want to stop obsessing over you but god I’m so in love, you’re haunting me 🥲
God I’m so obsessed with you, I can’t stop browsing through my phone and staring at the photos of us, it’s like I’ve been hit by cupids arrow. Loving you is like a death wish, the way you stare into my soul makes me feel so vulnerable. I wanna still maintain my control but I can’t, I need to get you out of my mind. You have so much power over me, I can’t help falling for you every time, you’re so blinding. You’re the one with the arrow and you’ve hit me straight in the heart, I’m under your control. Will you ever let me go? You’re like honey, so sweet, kiss me and love me hard till I’m breathless. You probably know how much I’m in love with you, that wicked smile of yours knows that you’re the only thing on my mind.
You speed up my heartbeat whenever you’re close to me, whenever you touch me you relieve stress. Are you a drug cause you got me so high? Your love is so intoxicating and I want more of it every time, I know you want me and don’t worry I’ll give you exactly what you need. I can get used to you by my side, being mine.
You’re my queen, Christmas is coming up and I won’t hesitate to kiss you even if there isn’t a mistletoe above our heads. I don’t have much to give you except everything I have, let’s spend all my time together, let’s make snow angels and cuddle in our bed afterwards. I only want to be spending all my time with you, year after year I just want to be with you, I want it all. The closer we get the better it is, you’re my forever girl.
If only I could stay, I would stay with you, believe me I would. I just want to be with you, all alone in your zone. I’m not negative, just different, we both have different things we want and baby you got me wrapped around your finger, I wanna love you wholeheartedly but you’re scared, love is so difficult, isn’t it? I could lay all day with you but you want to get up, let’s make more memories together you sack of potatoes, we could make it all ours. I don’t want to play games anymore, we’re not kids anymore, talk to me, come through baby.
Wow this was a smooth reading for me! I hope you liked this! 💕💕✨✨✨ and something tells me this person has a lot of feminine energy, I was just thinking to myself as I was writing this that if I had tarot cards I’d probably have pulled the devils card with how passionate this person is.

The coming change caused by the pandemic first manifested itself in dreams. At the beginnings of psychology, Freud assumed that one must turn to them - to bring out of the unconscious sphere in order to expose one's desires, cravings, fears. Today, many psychologists claim that such attitude is wrong, and that what is instinctive allows us to live smoothly. Our mind is a cosmos in which too much concentration, too much exposure of certain components, manipulation of the unconscious makes us lose ourselves.Capitalism has always used human problems as a tool to exploit social groups. These issues has been pointed out, conceptualized or created as new ones. Through over-interpretation it appropriated the unconscious zone for these purposes. As a result, our subconsciousness ceased to be pure, free.
The pandemic as a time when many everyday phenomena forced by work were changed or pushed aside, revealed this state through dreams. For art, the pure unconsciousness is a natural matter of action that the "Pandemic consequence: dreams" exhibition wishes to selflessly reveal.
The exhibition was part of the Warsaw Gallery Weekend 2020.

Ace of Swords_trial_03
Ace of Swords in Tarot stands for intellectual power and mental agency. It refers to our rationality and intellectual processing. My work was created during the pandemic time when rational structures are being questioned.
Ace of Swords is part of my Handmade Spiritismus project, which focuses on domestic esoteric practices and DIY spirituality. It derives from my fascination with XIX-th century spiritistic séances which were mainly held in private houses as somewhat intimate rituals of the middle class and bourgeoisie. Their main goal was to connect with the non-material world. Séances were organised without the official spiritual agent such as priest and usually with the use of everyday objects.
I look for vernacular equivalents of such “séances” in modern times, focusing on different divination techniques – for example tarot.
During the pandemic time, the hand became a recurring refrain – just like in a series of tarot aces which symbolise 4 basic elements. Hand acts as a controller. It proudly holds the emblem of its power.
My Ace of Swords is a domestic reconstruction, a trial version of home-manufactured recreation of “mystical truths of divination” with the use of the simplest and easily accessible materials.
