do you taste like magic? learn how.

"i am always going to bet on myself because you know what? i taste like magic." "it's all just energy. and a lot of it is just mindfuck." recorded friday, september 11, 2026. courtney, also known as sisi in brasil, breaks down the mantra behind i taste like magic. she talks about what happens when you say "i taste like magic" every day, why she doesn't define what magic means for you, and how attraction, energy, and confidence tie it all together. listen at itastelikemagic.com. the mantra "i taste like magic" and what repeating it daily actually does magic as energy and attraction, including how belief in curses or spells works why betting on yourself is the real practice behind the phrase

(2017) throwback: what to expect (from a reading)

listen/watch the original video at itastelikemagic.com. quotes: 1) "i have no obligation by the universe to give you a reading just because you want to pay me some money." 2) "most people come to a reader with a problem, and they think that the problem is the actual blockage." 3) "writers, their magic is in their words. performers, their magic is in their performance." 4) "it's kind of like going on a scavenger hunt through the depths of our subconscious minds." 5) "we stop trusting our intuition and our gut because we've been conditioned to believe that things have to be difficult to be successful." 6) "a lot of times people will come with a question, but by the time i'm done, i've already answered their question." this is a nearly ten-year-old video of mine, recorded in september 2017 and originally shared on facebook. i'm bringing it back now because some people have been surprised or confused to see me doing readings again. this is my proof that i'm not new to any of it. in this one, i lay out exactly what a reading with me looks like: why paying for a reading doesn't obligate me to give you one, why the "problem" someone shows up with is almost never the actual blockage, and how an unused gift, like writing i gave up on, can quietly block money or relationships in totally different areas of life. reading has never been the only thing i do. i treat it the same as every other craft i've picked up, all of it run through the same intuitive gift. back in 2017 i worked with no tools at all. compare that to today's "new growth" episode, where i'm experimenting with handmade cards and intuitive writing for the first time. same gift, different tools. topics covered: - why paying for a reading doesn't mean i owe you one, and why i can say no to a connection that isn't right - what i mean by reading "energy blockages," not just the problem someone brings me - the writer example: how an unused gift can quietly block money in an unrelated area of life - why the real block is almost never the thing people think it is - my services at the time: energy blockage readings, business coaching, and rebirth coaching - why energy blockage readings were phone or messenger only, never video - rebirth coaching, for breakups, major loss, career pivots, and spiritual awakening read the full transcript via faafo.app/radio, click the episode notes. see my full portfolio, pipes, shoes, altars, and more, at faafo.app.

(k) New Growth September 7, 2026

"Let it cook, let it simmer, put your phone away." "We're paralyzed in our own demise. We are the creators of our own demise." "It's not a hierarchy of one being better than the next." On Brazil's Independence Day, Courtney, also known as Sisi in Brazil, records a card reading built around the theme of new growth. She works through handwritten cards and playing cards pulled earlier in the day, then talks about why we sometimes sabotage our own progress right as it starts to take shape, and how to tell the difference between people who threaten what you've built and people who are simply out of step with your frequency. Topics covered: A card reading on the theme of new growth, done in three groups (ears, neck, stroke) Why we sometimes sabotage growth right when it starts to show The difference between manifestation (the feeling) and materializing (the result) Letting something "cook" instead of rushing to talk about it Throat chakra, attention, and the return on using your voice Repeating cycles, and letting go of what worked for a previous timeline Where to watch the full card-pull videos: faafo.app/blog Find more at itastelikemagic.com and faafo.app.

tues, 9-1-26: don’t ride the wave. find the river.

this audio is the september 1 collective energy reading, “don’t ride the wave. find the river.” using words, numbers, playing cards, colors, drawings, and intuitive symbolism, i explore the energy showing up around ears, saturn, hunger, rivers, ancestry, ride the wave, finding external evidence, going outside, the number three, november, and 10. none of these symbols have one fixed meaning, and the reading is not presented as fact or prediction. some, all, or none of it may resonate. for the full written interpretation, images, context, and disclaimer, read the complete post here.

part 2 - sun, aug 30, 2026: balance, duality, and finding your center

part two picks up after a long break, but that break becomes part of the reading. you can listen to part one at https://rss.com/podcasts/itastelikemagic/. the energy shifts toward rest, receptivity, constraint, and the difference between waiting for permission and deliberately creating the conditions you need. the same balance between feminine and masculine, internal and external, continues, but this time the focus moves more directly toward where energy may be leaking and what it might take to refill your own reservoir. “i deserve rest.” “resting is allowing us to be in the receptive energy.” “find your center. what will it take for you to find your center?” find more at itastelikemagic.com or faafo.app. this is also where the reading becomes more participatory. instead of handing over every interpretation, i keep asking you to notice what the cards, words, numbers, objects, sounds, and even interruptions feel like to you. bureaucracy, tourist, rest, boredom, uniforms, currency, 808, water, creative blocks, and constraint begin circling the same larger question: what is draining you, what are you still asking permission for, and what changes when you read the energy differently? bureaucracy, tourist, rest, boredom, uniforms, currency, 808, balance, duality, feminine, masculine, internal, external, receptive, action, constraint, energy leaks, reservoir, creative block, ready, you’re not ready, go study, what are my gifts, it’s an ending, you’re not a victim, move around furniture, pluto in the eighth house, sex, death, taxes, rebirth, other people’s money, sugar, 10:10, 1:11, 7:07, 16:16, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, power, love, good times, main character, discipline, declaration, intuition, release, energetic crumbs, flow the deeper message is less about predicting what happens next and more about shifting your relationship to your own authority. rest, restraint, receptivity, action, discipline, release, and self-trust are not opposites here. they are different parts of the same system. “stop asking for permission.” “be the star and the main character of your own story.” “this changes the story. now doesn’t it.” Disclaimer: These pick-a-card and psychic readings are provided for entertainment and personal reflection only.

part 1 - sun, aug 30, 2026: balance, duality, and what’s seen and unseen

today’s reading starts with experimentation and develops into two distinct but connected streams of energy. what first looks like a random arrangement of words and cards begins forming around balance, duality, the seen and unseen, feminine and masculine, internal and external, blockage and passage, and the difference between forcing something and allowing it to move. there is also an unexpected thread around resolution. a broken twig, handmade objects, shells, water, friendship, memory, and repeated numbers begin connecting with questions about timing, reconciliation, flow, and what becomes possible when you look at something from another perspective. “some of you give up too soon.” “balance and duality. that just feels like the strongest energy.” “energy is always shifting.” find more at itastelikemagic.com or faafo.app. as the reading develops, water becomes more than water. rivers, currents, currency, abundance, and energetic flow begin speaking to one another. another side of the reading turns toward inheritance, grandmothers, roots, blood, and the knowledge that may already exist closer to you than the places you have been looking for answers. “you are your bible.” “go back to your roots to find some answers and some solutions.” “you already have the authority to do the thing.” the words, cards, numbers, and messages that came through include: balance, duality, dualism, seen, unseen, hidden, opportunity, blockage, passage, weaknesses, strengths, feminine, masculine, internal, external, resolution, making up, water, flow, current, currency, abundance, stability, bureaucracy, rivers, tourists, grandmas, rest, inheritance, boredom, root, uniforms, blood, ready, creative block, you’re not ready, ask for a sign, go study, crossroads, intersection, 25, 7, seven of hearts, seven of diamonds, 17:17, 19, 26, 808, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, love, relationships, faith, sensitivity, overcoming, mastery somewhere between “you’re not ready” and “you already have the authority,” this reading asks you to sit with the contradiction instead of rushing to resolve it. there may be another route to readiness, knowledge, or power that does not look like the process you were told you had to follow.

group three: what can you learn from them?

question for today (qotd) -- saturday, august 29, 2026 what can you learn from them? -- selection number three selection number three is less about figuring somebody else out and more about noticing how much of your own energy is being spent watching, reacting, overthinking, doubting yourself, or carrying things that may not even belong to you anymore. the person on your mind may be demonstrating a very different relationship with attention, organization, boundaries, and self-trust. this reading asks what happens when you stop making somebody else the center of the story and start paying closer attention to where your own energy is going. there is also something here about knowing when not to respond, when not to fight, and when the most effective move is simply conserving your energy. “put your damn phone down.” “they do not doubt themselves as much as you do.” “not every fight is worth it.” find more at itastelikemagic.com or faafo.app. the words and messages that came through in this reading include: overthinking no doubt less phone time clean tidy organized diversify diverse reciprocity clear no strategize alchemy 12:12 names blood rivers graves hospitality mirrors tourist shame inheritance uniforms costumes instincts windows bureaucracy silence ancestry neptune energy wired there is a larger question underneath all of it: who is actually occupying the starring role in your life? some of what you can learn from this person may have nothing to do with copying them and everything to do with reclaiming your own attention. “you need to be your own main character and stop allowing other people to be your main character.” “they pause or don't respond at all before cutting people off.” Disclaimer: These pick-a-card and psychic readings are provided for entertainment and personal reflection only.

group two: what can you learn from them?

question for today (qotd) -- saturday, august 29, 2026 what can you learn from them? -- selection number two selection number two turns the question back around. the person or energy you have in mind may frustrate you, fascinate you, or simply move through the world in a way you do not understand. but instead of focusing on what they are doing, this reading asks what their behavior might be showing you about your own strategy, attention, boundaries, and power. there is something here about going bigger, staying focused, seeing situations more clearly, and becoming much more honest about where your attention and energy are actually going. this person may know how to keep moving without allowing other people to distract them, and that may be part of the lesson. “go bigger. go bigger.” “stop worrying about what other people are doing.” “you can learn from them how to see things more clearly.” find more at itastelikemagic.com or faafo.app. the words and messages that came through in this reading include: stop lying savage ask again tourist windows salt bread hospitality fences go bigger focus intelligence clarity boundaries sensuality sexual energy grounding power there is also a question in this reading about access. who has access to your attention, your energy, your time, and possibly more intimate parts of you? what looks like somebody else's strength or behavior may actually be pointing toward a boundary you need to understand differently. “they have boundaries. you don't.” “there's something in your shadow that is your moneymaker around that.” Disclaimer: These pick-a-card and psychic readings are provided for entertainment and personal reflection only.

group one: what can you learn from them?

question for today (qotd) -- saturday, august 29, 2026 what can you learn from them? -- selection number one sometimes the person who irritates you, confuses you, or seems to move through the world completely differently from you is carrying something worth studying. in selection number one, the question is not whether you want to become like them. it is whether there is something about the way they move, present themselves, make money, maintain their power, or refuse to obsess over perfection that you could learn from. there is an energy here around refinement, discipline, professionalism, details, money, magnetism, power, and knowing exactly when enough is enough. but some of what makes this person effective may also be the very thing other people criticize about them. “the details matter.” “as opposed to being annoyed by them, will definitely bring you luck.” find more at itastelikemagic.com or faafo.app. the words and messages that came through in this reading include: luck bread markets magnet what’s your shadow? running out of time different sides of the same coin refinement discipline professionalism entrepreneurial energy gold power assertion mystery and perhaps the strongest lesson has less to do with what this person does while everyone is watching and more to do with knowing when to disappear. “even if you don’t have shit else to do, just float out.” “leave them wanting more.” Disclaimer: These pick-a-card and psychic readings are provided for entertainment and personal reflection only.

modern mystic moves

what is a mystic? and can you have spiritual gifts without practicing any religion at all? courtney, known as sisi in brasil, says yes, and she has the strangers' stories to back it up. recorded live from her patio in bahia, brazil, with the ocean breeze coming through the window, she describes what it actually feels like to live mystic. "my everyday reality feels like i'm moving in and out of different levels of different realms," she says, "and into people's energetic spheres and portals that are often unseen, sometimes felt." she does not get there through ceremony or substance. she gets there through repetition. sanding wood. working in the yard. anything that lets her hands move while her mind goes somewhere else. master craftsmen talk about the same thing, she says, that quiet drop into another place. then the part that is harder to explain away. multiple people, strangers to each other, in different cities, on separate occasions, have described seeing her during their own altered states, years before they ever met her in person. "i've never met in advance, i've met after the fact," she says. same description. same energy. every time. she is not claiming to be rare. "we all are the tool," she says. not the crystal, not the card deck, not the substance. you. this episode is for the woman who already feels something stirring that she has no religious language for. the one who has never done a ceremony but recognizes herself anyway. the one done waiting for a teacher's permission to believe her own experience counts. sisi also asks a question she thinks more people should ask before handing over their trust: how is your spiritual teacher showing up in the flesh, healthy or not? listen to all my shows at https://faafo.app/radio. i taste like magic is available on your favorite podcast platform. find the written version and more at itastelikemagic.com, and the full ecosystem at faafo.app.
