Hey Occulties,
As many of you know, my husband and I were basically scammed on renting a townhouse this past winter and lost an enormous amount of money, which would have sucked enough on its own but coupled with the economy and the rents and frequent change from rental to AirBnb property issues of Portland causing several moves prior has been particularly hard. So basically, all our savings was spent renting the scam townhouse, which we learned quickly the landlord immediately evicts all tenants once they move in. Then we had to emergency move which meant spending lots of money on short term rentals.
Needless to say, the last few months have been exhausting and thanks to this and my psychotic stalker (who calls people pedophiles if they defend me, which is weird,) not exactly what I would term profitable.
Now I’m 46 years old, and I’ve done this job for 20 years, and I’m being told with no extra money, I should start making spellcasting how-to videos. I don’t have money for a video stand. I have a dated iPhone. I’m not exactly in a position to purchase lots of fancy equipment. I have prided myself on educating people for two decades and find most spellcasting videos I’m shown to be limited to either absolutely false information or made merely to entertain rather than educate…so while not entirely opposed to the idea (staying relevant is certainly not a bad thing,) it involves money (which currently is earmarked for living expenses) and a better spot to start filming for you.
But I stress… I am an educator in the occult arts. Entertainment and spectacle aren’t things I consider relevant to the profession, but if the masses insist on colorful little video clips to start the gears clicking and moving so they can use the gift of literacy to complete said education (so a 30-60 minute video gets you reading blog posts and learning real magic) then I guess I’m down… as long as I can afford to be because it’s not cheap to upgrade. For this feat I will require a new laptop (which I may be able to affordably acquire for around $400) and an updated iPhone (that’s going to run me about $1000,) and video stands and ring lights look like that’s another $30 or so. I’ll work on the better place to film in the meanwhile but that’s $1500. Because I am guessing I need to consider taxes and more than one stand.
So this is my upgrade fundraiser. If you can send any help, let me know, otherwise until I can afford to set aside the money, this is what we are waiting on. Just tell me it’s for the upgrade and I will update the amount received here in the blog on this post.
please contact if you’re interested in helping otherwise it might be til about August before I can save the extra up.
