You have been so instrumental in my life currently… I was in the throws of tarot buying addiction. In that dark tunnel, this channel was the light I needed. I am very grateful to you than you will ever know. I watch and rewatch all you videos because I need that… I need the authenticity. I don’t need answers… I need people like you, in whom I see myself and also genuinely feel like I am not alone in feeling these things. Thank you so so so much Stephanie! I love you ❤. Thank you for your genuine communication and support ❤

Also - sheer number of voices. YES. Can you recommend any other dumb phone creators that you've enjoyed, even if they're not still creating?

I love the discoveries you are making and how many of the issues have been the device itself. I know that people often do online fast or whatever, but it's a new and interesting concept to me that just taking away the phone - creating that one barrier - can be a good compromise. I say this bc, as an introvert, I do have some connections online that I haven't found elsewhere (other witches as an example) that I feel like I would miss if I stepped completely away. But it's true that I actually prefer a keyboard to screen texting anyway and I don't connect with them in my groups via my phone. Also, I hate the way that on all of the other scrolling platforms, I'll often get some horridly sad visual story - usually about an animal - from some organization looking to raise money or even some sort of rescue story, maybe with a happy ending, but unless I watch the video (which I don't want to do), I'm just left with a tragic image which is often really hard for me to shake. I've really been thinking about eliminating those apps for that reason. I liked IG in the beginning. Now I rarely see anyone I actually follow and none of it is personal; it's all product placement. I'll keep following your journey. Thanks for sharing and inviting us to think about alternatives!

It's been such a gift to watch you over the years. So much of KZbin feels like an echo chamber of ideas to me. People SAY they are going to do whatever the trendy "fix me" thing is, but never follow through/do the work. You've been doing the work and carving your own authentic path. And we have so many videos documenting your journey. It's inspiring to see. Thank you for sharing!

you + phone holster = an energy the world isnt ready for

i like your point of view! in this culture to go without smartphone is a bit of a challenge on so many levels.. And a true act of rebellion. but i think in near future people will be seeking alternative for having smartphone, manifesting more as a mainstream thing. Especially younger generation, since they were glued to it from early age and they will get tired of it at some point…As of right now, people are a bit oblivious about the alternative to not having smartphone. Maybe some tech companies will come up with something alternative… I personally really miss days before all that digital-smart era. Everything seemed more real, personal and grounded. We owned those objects, not viseversa

I read a book called Lonely Cities, its about loneliness analysed through artists including Andy wharhol. It seems Andy was literally the modern person in terms of his relationship to tech in order to distance himself from himself.

I'm really loving these videos. Watching you during this process/transition is inspiring. Hearing your thoughts really get me thinking. All of your videos do. You've broaden my mind with a lot of things. I'm listening and taking it all in. Thank you for sharing with us.

FIRST 🖤

Slap me daddy 💀 dying at that

I do miss the actual buttons from older phones! They were fun to use, and I liked the lil clicking sounds😊

Super fun to see your process. As someone who grew up in the 80s, I can tell you that the cover of your magazine is not Brooke, but Paulina Porizkova. Another supermodel back in the day 😉

Yay! 🎉

This is inspiring me to do the same... perhaps I will make the switch soon

I find your journey so exciting and unique to follow. I have been watching very little tube the past year but dropped by your channel a lot. The bravery to share the way you do and stand up against the storm is something I honestly admire. I totally get how you love your devices souls and I loved what you said in occultea that as soon as the platform is free, we are the product. It made me laugh and think a lot :)

Baller alert! Git them gold stars grrrl ⭐️

🖤🌕🪐

Your readings are gold! Thank you

You're very beautiful 🖤🌹

I discovered Egyptian Tarot through you and since I absolutely love ancient Egypt, I'm very grateful to you ❣️

yes yes YES! more art! im deranged for art!! you're drawings from high school have such a stylistic zing to them. i love seeing art from people's childhood because there is always something so special about novicehood and what it yields. i always wish i could go back to that part of my art journey, especially just by mindset. i love your more recent collage too! i love that the central figure seems to be looking back at the screen and echoing what they are seeing on it. or maybe they are seeing their honest and purest actions reflected back at them in a misunderstood way? it's really evoking a lot of thoughts. and how the piece guides my eyes is really fun. you have so much talent!

Thank you for sharing! It’s inspiring ( art and organisation)❤

🖤 🎨 🖤

I have this deck and I also appreciate the guide book. I would like someone to tell me what it is in/on the page of cups card. I just don’t understand what the images are supposed to be (other than the cup). I do like the art style but that one card just irks me bc i can’t tell what I’ looking at!

Eee! Got out my journal and worked on some sketches I've been avoiding while I watched this! 😘

I love this so very much!😍

The bird page with the quote about doing your best made me chuckle 😅 really enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing 💛

Hearing you talk about your sketchbook made me go "I HATE! him" out loud for your ex that absolutely is a complete stranger I know nothing about to me... But yeah I hate him! Ruining other ppls art because you feel whatever is just low I ADORE zines, like I will ALWAYS buy at least one copy when I come across them in the wild 😄 Thank you for sharing your art, it's such a treat to get to see your creative mind expressed in this way

very helpful! The inside of my art supplies box looks like the space "beneath the sofa of the Hempel family", as we say in German... but I'll tackle that! I promise!

I freakin' loved this video! Thank you for showing your organization method. At 62, I have all my art supplies piled up on the shelves of a rolling cart. Frankly, I have piles of stuff everywhere, so not only is the adhd spin cycle always going in my head, but it's all around me, too, lol! I love your grand finale collage, very nice. ❤ Alao, I grew up with a kitchen table the same as yours. 😊❤🕯🔮💐✨️🎶🎸🎵🎙💕❤️❤️

🫶👌🔥🫦🥹🎨✂️

Really like the “Matrix” page and the collage 💚

This is my spell deck. It's powerful. 🤫 Great content. Love it!!! Thank you, dear 🖤🌹❤

Your art supplies are so well organised! Mine are a disaster!!! But in my defence, I am more of a writer 😅. I love this by the way ❤. I am just a bit older than you and I started re-exploring that lost creative side of myself about a year ago. It’s been great - I feel so much more like…myself. And as for that Burt Reynolds picture…I actually remember seeing that when I was a kid!! 😳🤣

Loved this video! Thanks so much for sharing. I’m 45 and I feel like we are very much on the same art-journey-path-trajectory whatever lol. Now I want to go pull out all of my collage supplies and make a mess. 🙈 I love that black and green art page too. It’s very cool.

Love your videos and art! Thank you!

People keep saying that things will get better when the Boomers die off lol

It sounds like AI wrote the guidebook too. The Romantics rebelled against dehumanization resulting from the Industrial Revolution . I don’t think they’d be into this. This deck creeps me out.

Thank you for doing this, I have been (and others I know) feeling the heavy energy lately too. Helps to know it’s a collective thing and hear these encouraging messages. 🩵

You’re really killing this look! 🔥 I’m doing a No-Buy July for all hobby purchases since I do compulsively shop sometimes and forget to appreciate what I have. Stationery, tarot, and clothes are the biggest temptations here. Have to pause the buying cycle so I can breathe and remember what I already have, and/or to make what I have WORK for me. Cool for you that your favorite perfume is your own creation!

I really love these readings Mixtress, thank you 🙏. It is always fun to see how other people use tarot/oracle. And as soon as I saw that Mother of Pearl card, I said to myself ‘that’s me!’ - you were spot on with your interpretation. Blessings and wishing only good vibes.

Hey, Mixtress Rae. I just wanted to comment that I love that you're doing these readings more regularly. Normally I'm watching on the TV so I'm not commenting but I see you mate and I am a long time supporter ♥️🇦🇺

Wanted to watch this as soon as it came up, but didnt have the time to actually listen. So had to wait, but now here I am. It is a funky time for sure, My patience has been so frigging low, and just yesterday I told a dear friend that I didnt want him to come over cuz I was feeling like fresh poo I've never wanted kids, Im 44 and lost my mother in January, since my birthday i may I've had this deep grief of not having a child, a feeling I never thought I would feel, since it was always a very active choice not too have a child (past life trauma), but somehow losing my own mother made me really feel the emptyness of that choice. Where i live IVF is legal untill you are 47 but the stats show that out of 100 ivf treatments, 15 become heartbeat and out of those 15 0 living children was born last year - so I stand in this limbo of knowing that, and all the reasons for my choice not to have kids and time. Anyways

nice to watch this. i think Sword4 in the moon power deck is based on that card being about reflecting, considering how your next moves could play out, rather than look at Sword4 as primarily being about “rest.“ i like to think of the RWS Sword4 image as being narrated by the slain knight the tomb belongs to, who changed his mind & doesn’t feel like he died for a good cause anymore.

I truly love hearing people review/talk about their CURRENT decks! Such a FABULOUS idea and couldn’t love this more 🥰

Wow you are beautiful ❤ This is the first time I'm seeing you, I've only watched hands & decks videos so far 😊

I needed this. I did pretty well, and then went through some stuff... just feeling worn down and off I went on a self soothing buying jag... ahhhh. Your words are so very welcome!

Yayyy! Welcome back. So lovely to see you again. ❤😊

Loved this. I have a very strong bond to this deck and have always found it hard to full articulate it. So hearing someone else explain theirs is always fascinating to me. Even if it wasn't a love affair, I still find it such a curious and interesting thing when such time has been spent with a deck. I feel like TWU Indies are very hardy cardstock. Also some of my old school us games. They all have those tinged yellow loved edges haha. It's often how you can tell my faves.

I love this deck (I also missed its hype heyday). It is brilliant in its subtlety and simplicity. For instance, in the Moon card you cant see the ground, only the tops of the trees. It gives a subtle feeling of being ungrounded like you cant quite get your bearings. Same with the Tower card. Things like that are what I love about this deck. Also, the Wheel of Fortune is one of my favorite depictions of that card ever.
