Coming Out Of The Tarot Closet

Coming Out of the Tarot Closet With Emilio DeLuna


Listen Later


Emilio has a great energy and a fascinating story. This generational Brujo de casa has been an outsider for most of his life. I’m sure that feels familiar. I hope you enjoy this conversation as we explore Emilio’s sense of self, awareness of his gifts and talents, and how important ancestral work is. All with a dash of humor.



Emilio DeLuna



I’m a Leo with a moon in Scorpio and an ascendant in Scorpio. I’m an emotional mess and then some. I was born in a Mexican-American family. My mother was from Mexico and my father born in Texas.



I’m the eldest of four. Folk magic has always been apart of my life: knot magic, tossing coins, cloud-cutting, etc. It was pretty much a housewitch life that I was born into.



Though being born in the states, I was still born into a conservative family; gender roles were defined and not strayed from; for example, boys played football and girls cleaned, cooked, took care of the kids, and obeyed. I was the “freak”; I broke the rules when I started to just read and stay inside. That cause chaos as a butterfly’s wing.



Since then, I was already defined as the Unusual One. I was called when a family member needed a dream interpreted, an energy cleanse, a house-exorcism, babysitting, or what-have-them. When I told my paternal gramma that I was seeing ghosts, that’s when they believed that maybe I wasn’t just acting out but that I was truly different.



During middle school and high school was when I started to actually get into my gifts and started to actually respect and honor the path that I was on. Middle school though was more darker and more sinister while the more older and (somewhat) mature high schooler was more chilled and more relaxed.



I was still practicing my knots and my charms in secret but in plain sight. I made baby blankets with loving intentions and scarves for protection; I never gave away the reason for my projects because that would in a sense, “unravel” the spell.
