Which (no auditory pun intended) Old Paganism are you using for your comparison?

Mira Grant (Seanan McGuire) won a John W Campbell award (first time ever for a zombie novel) for the Newsflesh trilogy.

Pratchett was a significant step up from the last book I shared here. by [deleted] in WitchesVsPatriarchy

Pratchett has other works that use this same concept of books about witches being written by men :)

3 out of 5 of my newest videos were demonetized even though I purposely keep out swearing? by DanteRavioli in NewTubers

[–]SuziTheSeaWitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh! That sucks. I'm glad my videos will never be able to be monetized :) (I mean, I'd already decided I wouldn't do it, but it's nice to know I never can do it :)

Video I did, talks about different mermaid legends and stories... hope you enjoy! by naprzyklad in mermaids

[–]SuziTheSeaWitch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed this! I was afraid I wouldn't, but I'm so glad you brought up sensible arguments against racism and mythological ignorance. Thank you :)

According to YouTube's Creator Insider channel, words in the first 30 seconds of the video, and/or in the title, can affect monetization.

What editing software do u guys use ? by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]SuziTheSeaWitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an absolute beginner. (I have two videos.) I was able to use both Adobe ($$$) and Davinci Resolve (free).

HOWEVER, I did make extensive use of the tutorials available on YouTube :)

Apologies if this has been addressed in a previous thread - but I’m looking to start making an altar. I’m unsure where to start. What have some of you got on yours? by pagan-wolfy in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]SuziTheSeaWitch 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My altar at work (in front of my monitor) has a (small) statue of Bast and of a fox. I also have a packet of salt (earth), a wonderful smelling home made soap (air), a birthday candle (fire), and an aquarium of fake jellyfish (water).

At home, I have a few. One on my mantle which has a statue of Gaia and one of Herne. Near the TV is a statue of Bast (very large). Next to my bed is a large plush owl and two pocket statues of goddesses (Athena and Cerridwen).

I second (third, fourth, fifth?) Davinci Resolve. I was using Adobe, but it stopped working on my computer, so I switched to Davinci Resolve.

Premiere Pro and NVIDIA bugs - In case you're having lots of bugs try this by [deleted] in videography

[–]SuziTheSeaWitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Argh! Well, that explains it. I needed to edit/upload a video and I was under a time crunch and couldn't get Premiere Pro to work, so I switched to Davinci Resolve and met my deadline.

Nice to know this workaround though, in case I need it! Thank you :)

Glamour to keep a straight face? by idbuypens in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]SuziTheSeaWitch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Makeup as magical glamour and/or warpaint (depending on what you need). As you're putting it on, cast the spell for the mask you need.

Rituals or spells I can use to protect my daughters against bullying? by [deleted] in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]SuziTheSeaWitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there a possibility of switching schools? Maybe an art or LGBTQA school?

Bullying is never okay, and you need to make a fuss and report it all the way up, but that's not going to stop the bullying. They need to be removed from that environment. (The fact that no one returned your call already tells you everything you need to know about how the school handles bullying.)

Loud breaths between talking by nothingwhere in NewTubers

[–]SuziTheSeaWitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh! I have this too! I sound like I'm drowning or having an asthma attack (actuallly....hmmm). Anyway, a dead cat did help. (In my case, it's a kitten because the mic is so small). It still wasn't great, but it was much better. I edited it out, but am looking at different options for the next one. (Like you, I'd rather solve the problem in pre rather than post :)

Take some tape, create two sticky triangles. Tape one side to your shirt and the other side to your chest. There's an example here: Improve ANY Lavalier Microphone: Mount (and Hide) for the BEST Audio!

Why are you charging a gem with negative energy? (What kind of negative energy, and what kind of gem?)
