New Year Meditation (Hekate-inspired) Cara Mia - cutewitch772 2023-01-01 | The turning of the new calendar year, like the start of a new lunar cycle, is a time sacred to Hekate. My local community has been working with Hekate this year, so I wanted to do a guided meditation journey inspired by some of her symbols for the new year. While this does contain a few symbols of Hekate, she is not named in particular at any point within it. There is a framework to this guided journey, but the specifics are entirely left up to what appears for you personally, so this journey will look different to each person as far as the details within the framework. I do things like this often in my regular practice, but don't often do them as public videos, so I hope you enjoy this! Have a happy new year!

Creating Content is one thing, Sharing Content is another (Stream for Convenience) Cara Mia - cutewitch772 2022-11-17 | As I'll talk about here, I wanted to do an update, but a stream felt more convenient than a video with all its separate steps. Mental health, work, moving, and other stuff.I streamed this on Sunday morning, and on Monday morning it still hadn't processed! It's taken me a few days to get back to it and figure it out, but now it can go public, 4 days later. I absolutely did try to convince myself that it's been too long and I should just forget about posting it, BUT that kind of barrier is exactly what I am talking about in this video! So up it goes.-----My name is Cara (CAR-uh). My pronouns are they/them and she/her.I reside on the land of the Erie, Mississauga, & Kaskaskia.Consider sponsoring my videos on Patreon!

Steven Intermill (Director of the Buckland Museum of Witchcraft & Magick) and I sat down together to flip through it a few weeks ago -- I had some tech issues with uploading it, or it would have been up sooner! This is our first look at the entire deck, with commentary.We also did a video for the Buckland Museum channel, which I will link to in the end screen and here when it's uploaded (Steven was waiting for me to get my tech stuff figured out -- thanks, Steven!). Learn more about the museum, or plan your visit (advanced tickets required!) at bucklandmuseum.org"Anatomy of a Witch" is also a book by Laura Tempest Zakroff. Her previous oracle deck, the Liminal Spirits Oracle, followed publication of an earlier title, "Weaving the Liminal." Zakroff is also the author of "Sigil Witchery" and several other books, and has edited and contributed to other works such as "The New Aradia" anthology.

Organizing My 2022 Reading Plans... Cara Mia - cutewitch772 2022-01-16 | Hey, viewers! This video is about how I plan to structure my reading in 2022. I've learned some things about my reading style from the last two years -- a lot about the way I read has changed, in fact -- so this year I'm trying out some new ways to implement what I've learned and hopefully made my personal reading goals go even smoother. If you're not a big reader, I hope you still find this video interesting, or just a good way to pass some time listening while you do something else. =)-----** This video was sponsored by my amazing supporters on Patreon!

2021: A Teaching Year! (Year in Review) Cara Mia - cutewitch772 2022-01-09 | Looking back at 2021 and the highlights shared in this video in particular, there were a lot of teaching opportunities for me in 2021. I started student teaching, worked as a mentor, answered questions or otherwise participated in various students' research, and started working with multiple other groups in a way that involves me teaching some things. Of course that teaching will continue into the future, and so will learning (which I never stop doing), but I think "a teaching year" is a fairly good overview phrase for me for 2021, and something great to focus on amidst the rest. Happy New Year!**Timestamps**0:00 - Another year in review!2:10 - January4:56 - February6:28 - March7:55 - April9:13 - May11:48 - June13:03 - July17:24 - August19:56 - September24:24 - October27:55 - November30:44 - December35:19 - Looking ahead-----** This video was sponsored by my amazing supporters on Patreon!

Tarot Guidebooks & Intuition Cara Mia - cutewitch772 2021-12-31 | For those who read Tarot or otherwise divine by cards... do you read the guidebooks? Always, sometimes, not at all? Have you ever heard someone say they don't, that they're an intuitive reader, as though those two things are mutually exclusive? I have. This video contains my thoughts about that -- why I read guidebooks, and why I don't consider the question of whether you read the guidebooks or not, to be the same as whether you read intuitively or not (because I think we're all reading intuitively when it comes to it).This is my last video of 2021!Blessings~Decks shown or mentioned:Spacious Tarot (Mallon & Ruygt)Herbcrafter's Tarot (Guthrie & Powell Colbert)Buckland Romani Tarot (Buckland & Lake)2020 Visions Tarot (Krystal Banner, Kaleidadope)The Wildwood Tarot (Ryan, Matthews, & Worthington)-----** This video was sponsored by my amazing supporters on Patreon!

Library of Esoterica: Witchcraft overview Cara Mia - cutewitch772 2021-12-26 | Hey, viewers! I borrowed this copy of the new Library of Esoterica WITCHCRAFT volume from the Buckland Museum in order to give you all a little overview of it. This isn't a "review" as such, but more of an introduction and showcase of some of my favorite parts. There is SO MUCH in this book. The Buckland Museum and many others I know (by name, by their work, by their contributions to the Buckland Museum, and/or in person) contributed to this work. I was excited to see names I know as well as some I've only learned about through the Museum and the art exhibits we've had.Enjoy a short video from me, for once! hahaThank you all for watching and/or listening.I hope you're having a happy solstice season.Blessings~-C------Background music:"Earth Prelude" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0-----** This video was sponsored by my amazing supporters on Patreon!

Audio & eBooks - Getting back into the swing of reading more. Cara Mia - cutewitch772 2021-09-28 | Hey, viewers! As many of you know, my reading habits have changed a lot in the last year and a half due to a change in my ability to focus. Recently I started using audio books and ebooks to see if those formats would help my focus at all, and I decided to do a video talking about how that's worked for me personally so far!The apps I use to check out digital books or audio books are hoopla and Overdrive. Hoopla has its own collection you can borrow from, but you access it through using your library information. Overdrive connects to your actual library system. I am in the USA and use an Android device; I'm not sure whether these specific apps work elsewhere, or if there are similar equivalents to these in other countries! Feel free to share your recommendations for similar apps or services in the comments to help others find options, too (just don't include a link, or it will probably be marked as spam).-----** This video was sponsored by my amazing supporters on Patreon!

Witchcraft Generations - what it was like for me (VR to Thorn Mooney) Cara Mia - cutewitch772 2021-09-01 | Hey, viewers!

My Process for Getting to Know Tarot & Oracle Decks Cara Mia - cutewitch772 2021-08-02 | What is your process for getting to know a new Tarot or Oracle card deck, or other type of deck? How do you define the differences between categories of deck types? I have noticed that I tend to take a LOT longer getting to know a Tarot deck than an Oracle deck, and wanted to talk a bit about that in a video! Thanks for watching and/or listening.I did end up putting text on the video itself, but again, the Herbcrafter's Tarot deck was created by Joanna Powell Colbert (art) and Latisha Guthrie (book). The deck is not shown in this video, but I mention it as an example of one of the things I'm talking about.-----** This video was sponsored by my amazing supporters on Patreon! (More info below.)

Trans Pagans & Inclusivity [LGBTQ+ Pagans #3] Cara Mia - cutewitch772 2021-07-18 | Years ago, when I did a couple other videos about the intersection between Pagan and LGBTQ+ identities, someone asked me to talk about Transgender Pagans as the third video in that series. But since I'm not a Transgender Pagan, I didn't think it was appropriate for me to speak on that topic, and I explain that thought process a bit more in this video. I've been working with Madelyn this summer, and she decided to cover this basic topic over on her channel! You will find that video linked. I wanted to give the back story about being asked about this here in a video on my channel, and also give a few more thoughts from my position and perspective now, in 2021, now that I've been part of a tradition and community and strives to be intersectional and inclusive for a few years now. I also have better vocabulary to express my support now than I would have years ago, even though I was always in support.Check out Madelyn's video! Channel name is EpicallyCurious!And a big thank you to Madelyn for captioning those earlier two LGBTQ+ Pagans videos on my channel (as well as many others videos) as part of her work during this internship, and thanks for covering this topic from a perspective that I literally just cannot provide from my own experience.-----** This video was sponsored by my amazing supporters on Patreon!

Lets Work Through Twelve Wild Swans! Cara Mia - cutewitch772 2021-07-04 | Links in the end screen to other Reclaiming-relevant playlists! -- In this video I'm going over a few options for how we could work through this book as a discussion/working group. There are three main timeline options which I describe throughout the video. The text describing them is also included again at the end of the video so you can see them all at once. Pause to read at your own pace!The full title of the book, to give you an even better idea of what it is about, is: "The Twelve Wild Swans: A Journey to the Realm of Magic, Healing, and Action". An additional subtitle or tagline on the cover reads, "Rituals, Exercises & Magical Training in the Reclaiming Tradition." It was co-authored by Starhawk and Hilary Valentine (published in 2000).I worked through this book on my own back in 2012 or 2013, and it can probably be considered the main thing that really began my path in Reclaiming Tradition. I'm very excited to do this work again!My teacher-adjacent disclaimer:I have now student-taught an Elements of Magic class (2021), but this discussion/working group will not be the same as "taking an Elements class" in the tradition. This is something I want to offer for our personal and collective benefit, and it can also help you get an idea of how a Reclaiming class might work, but this is not going to be quite the same as taking a class "officially". It will be up to any future teachers you may have whether they consider this a prerequisite or "having equivalent experience." Basically, I may be in the process of becoming a trained teacher, but I do not want to mislead anyone into thinking this is an official class! It can probably help prepare you for classes, though, if that is something you end up being interested in. =) I definitely feel that working through this book helped prepare me for Witchcamp, classes, and Reclaiming community, but I did still take an Elements of Magic class at camp (in 2015). I didn't skip it and try to count this book as that! But I did let them know any books I had read and worked through before, so they had an idea of my experience level and that I wasn't completely new to it. =) And next time I'm co-teaching one, I'll let you know!-----Patreon post going over ideas for how we can break up "Wicca" for a discussion group, too! patreon.com/posts/53128325-----** This video was sponsored by my amazing supporters on Patreon!

Pagan Summer Internship? with Madelyn! Cara Mia - cutewitch772 2021-06-07 | Hey, viewers! This is a BRIEF video introducing you to Madelyn, who is going to be working with me this summer for a divinity school internship! Check out the full interview where we talk more about this process on Madelyn's channel -- link below! *End screen shows a different video; see below.***NOTE: for some unknown reason of technology, the end screen will not let me link the interview there. I keep getting a failure message every time I try to link that particular video, even though the link works and the video is able to be watched! So I've put a different one of Madelyn's videos (which was also an assignment from me for the internship) in the end screen for now, and the link to the interview is below. I'll keep trying to link the correct video in the end screen over the next few days. Hopefully it's just a weird tech thing.

Student-Teaching Elements of Magic: halfway vlog Cara Mia - cutewitch772 2021-06-05 | Hey, viewers! Second video in a row that was recorded on this day in late May! For this video, I wanted to take some time to talk about my experience so far student teaching a Reclaiming core class (Elements of Magic, in this case) for the first time. I recorded this between the week 3 and 4 classes, out of 6 total, so this serves as a "halfway there" sort of reflection. Although it is more than halfway, really, since we started planning the class months earlier!Links to a few videos/playlists are in the end screen of this video, but I couldn't fit them all, so there will be more below! I've also created a new playlist for all my Reclaiming themed videos. =)** Timestamp Table of Contents **0:00 - Core Classes & Formats7:39 - Student Teaching15:53 - My "Expectations vs Reality"?24:05 - Final Thoughts** Links to more videos I've done about Reclaiming and these classes so far!

Big Well Museum visit! Cara Mia - cutewitch772 2021-05-16 | In April 2021, my brother and I went on a road trip to visit our mom. On the way, we stopped at the Big Well museum in Greensburg, Kansas!

We only got to spend about an hour there, so we didn't get to read EVERYTHING, but I wanted to show you around!This video is being uploaded in May, but was recorded and edited in April.-----** This video was sponsored by my amazing supporters on Patreon!
