Nosferatu Lenormand Deck Unboxing and Walkthrough

Nosferatu Lenormand Deck Unboxing and Walkthrough. I found this really cool and creepy deck just in time for Halloween on Etsy from the shop Crones Bones. What is Lenormand anyway? What is Nosferatu? Why do I keep calling the vampire Nosferatu when I know his name is Count Orlok? I’ll answer these questions and show you this beautiful little deck that I’m just in love with based on the old silent film Nosferatu. Since these are traditional times of the year for divination, I decided to bring you close up views of a couple decks this October. Due to coronavirus (Covid-19) lots of people are talking about Halloween being canceled this year, but I maintain that even if some events and even Trick or Treating is canceled, the spirit of Halloween can't be cancelled. I have lots of upcoming videos to help us all keep Halloween going in our hearts.

This video was extra fun to edit because I usually (always edit on my iPhone, but I finally picked up a little piece of software so I can edit on my computer now! It's Wondershare Filmora, it's really a pretty cool program. It was a bit of a learning curve, but I think I've got at least some of it figured out. I love the filters and the text has a lot more options!

I did miss a little problem, when I first rendered it, I found out that I had scootched (technical film term) some footage over in the editor and left a blank spot in my intro! Ahhhhhh!!!! Anyway, I figured out how to clip that little bit out in the YouTube editor, which I've never done before, so I felt really relieved and was able to share the video with everyone.

I hope you enjoy it!

Nightmare Before Christmas Tarot Walkthrough

Nightmare Before Christmas Tarot just came out so I decided to do a walkthrough of this fun deck! This deck is by Minerva Siegel and Abigail Larson and I'm so excited to share it with you. My family sings the songs from this Tim Burton classic When we’re decorating for Halloween/Samhain and Yule as well. Since these are traditional times of the year for divination, I decided to bring you close up views of a couple decks this October.

Due to coronavirus (Covid-19) lots of people are talking about Halloween being canceled this year, but I maintain that even if some events and even Trick or Treating is canceled, the spirit of Halloween can't be cancelled.

A Reading From Llewellyn's Little Book of Halloween



I ventured out to the local state park because I wanted to do a reading of the introduction to my book Llewellyn's Little Book of Halloween and I knew of the perfect spot! There's these great old stone  stairs that lead down from a parking lot but don't go particularly anywhere, for that reason since they're off the beaten path I thought it's the perfect place to shot a video. I love the vibe back there too, it has such ambiance. I put on my wonderful witchy garb grabbed my tripod and filled a bag full of pumpkins, what more could I need?



I think it turned out pretty nice. I do think some better equipment might have helped. I also got there about an hour before sunset because I was trying to clear enough room on my phone, which is where I shoot and edit all my videos. The light wasn't the brightest, but it did lend a supernatural glow to everything which I quite liked. My biggest challenge was the trucks going by on the highway! I barely noticed them when I was there...until I got home and started to edit. Yikes!



So I'm thinking about some better equipment in my future, maybe a good camera, though they're really expensive and my phone is good quality. I might also invest in some more mobile lighting options, and probably most importantly, a better mic for my current setup.



At any rate, I hope you enjoy this reading of the introduction for Llewellyn's Little Book of Halloween as much as I enjoyed shooting it. It was a really fun location and it brought me right into that magickal Halloween state of mind!



Blessings,

Mickie
