A mystic rooted in the cosmos .
Born from Brujos and Curanderas that lived in the mountains of lands not so far away.
A healer, artist and activist.
A magic maker before it became hip.
The Story Begins with my Mother
She wore patchouli like no other and worked the earth, talking to plants, following Grandmother wisdom that came in the form of song on a windy day.
She is Earth Mother. Goddess of Creation
Dancing between this world and the Spirit world.
Passing Ancestor wisdom onto me through copal infused afternoons in the Pacific Northwest.
Sipping on Green Juice chanting Hail Marys
While she throws out those Chi Town Vibes that maker her who she is. A true OG Chingona
Debora Barrera Pontillo aka Mama D
I continue the story , our LEGACY, allowing the magic to flow through my veins as I throw cards, mix oils and move energy.
Guided by my Mother and Ancestor wisdom
The Tarot speaks to me from voices beyond the veil
My Mother guiding me as I receive the messages.
Through each ceremony, each sacred alchemic elixir, I move closer in alignment with my power as a Mystic... a BRUJA that shape shifts between the multitudes of existence.
Stepping into the powers, the gifts passed down from generations lodged deep in my bones... Cosmos directly pouring in through the crown of my head and Mother Earth reaches deep into my soul through my feet.
All of this.
The Herstory.
Begins with my Mother.
I offer you gratitude for listening to our STORY.
Blessings.
My Tarot Story
I am an Intuitive Tarot Reader that weaves a tapestry of modalities in my sessions. I am a Bruja, a MYSTIC, a Creative called to be of service through the ritual of Tarot.
I have had the honor of holding space for folks and being of service through Tarot since 2014.
Before I share my Tarot journey I must honor the lineage of Curanderas that I come from for without this Ancestral knowing... this magic lodged deep in my bones I would not have the relationship that I do with Tarot, Astrology as well at the rituals I incorporate in each session.
I have seen these powerful women perform their ceremonies, at times in the most simplest of forms and I have sat and heard the stories from family that would make animal bones dance to reading water to witnessing the presence of La Virgen de Guadalupe.
The medicine has been passed down and for me it has manifested in the form of Tarot.
Tarot has been in my life since childhood.
My Mother , Aunties and Grandmother would always go to get their cards read and I as a child would accompany them. I never was allowed to enter the room where the readings would take place. Instead I would find myself sitting on couches, at kitchen tables and sometimes on door steps waiting for my grown ups to return.
I would sit with wonder as to what was happening behind the curtains and closed doors and could not wait until I was of the age where I could enter one of those spaces that felt like a temple and open to the magic of the Tarot cards.
As a late teen I was allowed to receive readings. I loved Tarot, Walter Mercado and anything related to both the Cosmos and Underworld.
t was one day at the age of 28 that a Tarot reader gifted me a deck and told me that I had the calling to read
But I resisted the call.
I wanted nothing to do with it.
It wasn't until many many ... MANY moons later that I would begin to read Tarot for folks outside my friend circle.
It was through Spirit, that people started seeking readings from me and with time I chose to answer the calling and dedicate myself to the art of intuitive Tarot reading.
It was this moment that my Mother was waiting for so that she could pass down the medicina.
I am on this beautiful journey of weaving my lineage that holds me as I carve spaces in the herstory of many generations past and to come.
Mad LOVE to you and thank you for hearing my story.
