Charm School w/ Cara & Stella - Before we Begin!

Cara Mia - cutewitch772 2023-05-29 | In collaboration with my friend, Stella, I am excited to introduce you to our newest personal Witchy learning project! Over the next few months, Stella and I are going to be completing tasks from Silver Ravenwolf's 1995 book, "To Stir a Magick Cauldron" and posting some snippets about it on our various platforms as we go. We recorded this conversation in May, and the work officially begins in June!

In this video we talk about the project, how we're adjusting some of the tasks to suit where we are in our personal paths (such as deciding on different books to read for the "lessons" portion), and we also have a bunch of great side conversations in here, too!

Consistency and Change

Cara Mia - cutewitch772 2023-04-30 | What does consistency look like? For me, it changes a lot with my life circumstances. Talking about consistency in my content creation, how I'm exploring with that right now, and how since coming here, absolutely nothing is as I thought it would be.

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! Welcome, 2023.

What Music Did I Listen to in 2022?

Cara Mia - cutewitch772 2022-12-02 | It's the time of year when everyone is posting their annual list of music they most listened to, and I don't use music streaming apps, so... quite simply, this video is my version of sharing some of my musical interests with you!

In this video I share
- the top 5 ALBUMS I own physical CDs of and play most often
- the type of things I usually use YouTube to listen to
- the 5 albums I borrowed from the library (via app) this year
- and the top 5 SONGS I listened to most / am most excited about when they come on the radio (4 from radio, 1 song I play via YouTube)

Happy December!

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.

Getting Together with my Witches

Cara Mia - cutewitch772 2022-10-09 | Someone asked me how often Witches get together. Is it weekly? Monthly? This question lead me to reflect on how the frequency of my gathering with Witches has increased dramatically in recent years!

I'm still not able to edit my videos, so this is in one take with a brief pause at one point -- very grateful that my camera is able to pause and resume the same recording!

Anatomy of a Witch Oracle | Flip-through & commentary

Cara Mia - cutewitch772 2022-08-29 | Anatomy of a Witch Oracle is the newest oracle deck by Laura Tempest Zakroff! 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. Learn more about LTZ's work at owlkeyme.com

Back from Camp! Still processing...

Cara Mia - cutewitch772 2022-07-31 | I'm back from attending my second in-person Witchcamp, and I'll be doing more videos about some things over on my Patreon! Link is below. In this video I talk a little bit about how this camp experience was different from the last one, and why I'm really still processing my personal stuff.

I'm having tech issues again, so my videos will not be edited for a while! One-takes only! And sometimes that means I mess up and can't fix it. I messed up my own outro at the end lol. Thank you for watching and/or listening!

Penumbra Tarot! Worth the wait =)

Cara Mia - cutewitch772 2022-03-06 | I pre-ordered this deck and when it got to the US, it got delayed for months! Ethony kept us updated along the way, and I finally got it a couple weeks before I recorded this -- I wanted to wait until I could record the unboxing and my first impressions of the cards in person. I had seen some of the card art before, since I follow Eris, but not all of them, so many of these were first looks!

0:00 - Unboxing & First Cards
4:30 - Majors
8:56 - Swords
10:30 - Torches
12:33 - Cups
14:17 - Pentacles
16:01 - Elements cards
16:54 - Guidebook
18:04 - Final thoughts
20:31 - More like this from me?

I was so impressed by the title cards...?!
Do any of you have other decks by Ethony?
Did any of you get this one?! What do you think?

WICCA Research (Finished this book!)

Cara Mia - cutewitch772 2022-02-20 | The book is "WICCA: History, Belief, and Community in Modern Pagan Witchcraft" by Ethan Doyle White, and I finally finished it in January so now I can talk about it! It's an academic, peer-reviewed research text and I loved it because, well, that is right in line with what I do.

UUism - What is my involvement these days?

Cara Mia - cutewitch772 2022-01-23 | Another one of my "progress report" videos, this one talks about where I am in my personal journey regarding Unitarian Universalism. I used to talk about UUism a lot on this channel and I haven't done as much of that in recent years. Have you wondered why? Or maybe you're just hearing about this but curious now that I mentioned it? Here you go!

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. =)

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!

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~

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! haha
Thank you all for watching and/or listening.
I hope you're having a happy solstice season.
Blessings~

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).

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.

Growing Community, Planning, etc. (a vlog)

Cara Mia - cutewitch772 2021-07-25 | A vlog about planning events for local community and trying to get that sort of thing going! A lot of people want to attend events that are happening, or join existing communities, but not everyone wants to be part of planning those events or creating a community from scratch. That's just how it goes, and it's tough! This is just a ramble about some of the stuff that I've been thinking about a lot this week.

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.

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!

mental health & getting stuff done (eventually)

Cara Mia - cutewitch772 2021-06-27 | hey, viewers! Just an informal, talky vlog. Do you ever notice yourself avoiding doing something that you normally like doing because you just can't bring yourself to do it? Yeah, that happens to me a lot. I finally got around to doing something today, and decided to vlog a bit about it. Hope you're all doing well!

My Patreon & Possible Changes

Cara Mia - cutewitch772 2021-06-12 | Hey, viewers! This week I wanted to talk a bit about my Patreon, how I have had it set up for years (and why), and what I'm now brainstorming about possibly changing the setup (and why)! If you were ever curious about WHY I've been doing it this way, this video will cover that and more. If you are one of my current Patrons, or have EVER BEEN one of my Patrons in the past (I see you all!), thank you so much. I hope you all know how much it means to me. And to my future Patrons, thanks in advance! ^.^

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. But until then, use the link below!

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 & Formats
7:39 - Student Teaching
15:53 - My "Expectations vs Reality"?
24:05 - Final Thoughts

** Links to more videos I've done about Reclaiming and these classes so far! Also a new playlist in addition to my Witchcamp playlist from 2015! **

Teaching, Learning, & my Eclipse thoughts

Cara Mia - cutewitch772 2021-05-29 | Inspired by a series of posts and stories I saw on Instagram this week, I wanted to talk a bit about the way people in the Pagan community view teachers these days -- things that I have noticed as an educator in this realm -- and also some things about how we learn and experiment! (Bonus, my thoughts about working during eclipses lol.)

Other educators mentioned in this video include Althaea Sebastiani, Phoenix LeFae, Fire Lyte, Stephen Aiden, and Thorn Mooney.

Unboxing my New Planner & Stickers!

Cara Mia - cutewitch772 2021-05-22 | I got a new planner set to start using for the upcoming year, and I decided to do an unboxing of it! Let's look at office supplies and planner stickers!

In this video I mention my friends' Etsy shop, StickerGeekDesigns. They are actually on a break this summer (maternity leave! Congratulations! Ahhh!), but you can go check out the shop, favorite it, bookmark it and so on, so that you can see what they have when they return!

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 were the only two guests in the building during our visit, so it was just us and the wonderful receptionist, with whom we had a nice conversation before getting back on the road. 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.

Modifying my Goddess Tarot deck

Cara Mia - cutewitch772 2021-04-26 | Modifying one of my Tarot decks by edging it with gold metallic permanent marker. I'm using a Bic "Intensity" marker, and the deck is "The Goddess Tarot" by Kris Waldherr (book and art). I also describe how I trimmed the deck previously, but in this video I'm adding the gold edge.

This video was recorded earlier in April 2021 at my mom's house! It was uncharacteristically windy during our visit, so the wind chimes got quite loud in the first part.

Being Part of Community - What do I mean?

Cara Mia - cutewitch772 2021-04-08 | What do I mean when I talk about being part of a Pagan/Witchy community, or being involved with community? These are phrases I've been using for the past few years, at least, and I want to talk about what I mean by them.

Upload delay! This video was intended to be posted last weekend, but I ran into some upload trouble. So it seems early for this week, but it's actually just ASAP after issues last week. =P

My Spring Equinox Anniversary

Cara Mia - cutewitch772 2021-03-27 | A fairly quick, informal, casual vlog. In this video I update you about why I'm so stressed that I decided to do a casual vlog from the couch, and also talk about how the spring equinox is a sort of anniversary for me. =)

I hope you all had a lovely equinox and are enjoying the change in season so far, if a noticeable change in season is something you experience where you live!
