Look at this dead space around me!

I know this makes me sound like a huge size queen, which we all know I am completely not! LOL but I’ve been really struggling with aspect ratio for my new video project. Isn’t that weird and nerdy hahaha But seriously, it’s so interesting figuring out how close you want the camera to be and how big of a picture you want. I absolutely hate 16:9! I just feel like there’s all this dead space that you need to set dress for no freaking reason. However, I am really digging 4:3 it’s kind of like the old television size, which is very cool and I can fill a frame without being ridiculous!!!!!!! 

The new project is Stories from the Cauldron!! I’m very very excited about this. It is basically a conglomeration of everything that is me, from storytelling actual myths to stuff I just make up at the top of my head to nonsense silliness combined with an affecting Magic and spirituality! It’s so super Pagan. I’m really excited to blend these two parts of my life…. well that’s not true is it? They’ve been blended for a while. It’s hard to get one without the other right? I think every story is a spell and every spell has some components of Storytelling. It’s fun and it’s alive and it’s me and it’s exciting and I think I’m going to do it for a couple of years and just see what happens, you know? Even if it’s just one post a month that’ll be 36 stories. I get to tell 36 pieces of magic I put into the universe to try to make it a better place. I feel that even if no one subscribes or listens to it, which is very possible, who knows…. 100 years from now someone can find this weirdo Pagan queer Storyteller on YouTube and learn and keep the world moving forward on the Grace of the Goddess!

Also of note, I’ve taken a little bit of a break from the Philip book. It’s too kind of heavy, and this cauldron project is going to really take over my life. I hope I’m really into that. I may or may not do Monsters in Ireland next year. I’m thinking about like what I want to do next year where I want to go. We all know how much I love to travel but what I learned in England is traveling doing a show and traveling on your own are very different experiences. Not bad not better not worse just very different not very relaxing. I’m really diving into the narrative of therapy. Like what it means to be me at 57. I think it’s very grounding and eye-opening and sort of peaceful in a really scary depressing kind of way LOL Especially after all this tax bullshit I just spent two and a half weeks going through. It’ll be nice to be an artist again and to remind myself that I am a Creator and I’m best my best when creating
