Perhaps a little disclaimer at the beginning would be appropriate: "I'm totally not Lilith, why would you even think that? This is not an autobiography, I swear!"
It never ceases to amuse me how many monsters of ancient lore are manifestations of men being scared of smart, strong-willed women who enjoy sex and/or don’t want to sleep with them.

Another interesting factoid about Lilith is that, during the Middle Ages, she started being identified as the Queen of demons, and thus as the wife of Asmodeus, their king.
No she was originally the mother of demons. The first wife of Adam myth is the one that started in the Middle Ages. Her origins as a demon go back before Judaism to the earlier references to demons called lilitu in Babylonian demonology.
@@ParanormalEncyclopedia while her role as a mother or matriarch was older, I was referring to her encapsulation in the legends regarding the King of Demons Asmodeus, who already appeared in talmudic tradition. This role as his consort was mantained by Lilith in many jewish folk tales.
11:11 This is the story that I recall. There wasn't any mention of vampirism, merely a woman who didn't want to assume the submissive position in sex and flew away from Adam.
She goes from a goddess of fertility to some crazed sex-child soul stealing demon. I named my daughter Lillith, she was born with Spina Bifida I found it so fitting and gives a wink to the strong-willed Lillith.
I am loving your Dark Academia outfit and makeup! When I was a kid, I remember Lilith being mentioned as Adam's first wife, but I never understood that given that I was Catholic and was raised with the "Adam and Eve" narrative. This is the first time I ever heard of Lilith being referred to as a vampire.
The only time I ever heard of Lilith being a vampire is in the game World of Darkness: Vampire the Masquerade. Generally she is considered the mother of demons, Adam's first wife who was not a good wife of servitude to him, etc - these things I have read about from multiple sources.
As usual men have written history. She was created equal to Adam who was none too happy about that. A strong character that has men shivering in their boots.
Exactly. You just worded it way nicer than I would have. Even as a teen, when I first heard the story, I was pretty angry. I am still angry today. *sigh*
Nice Video I also like the fact, that according to some etymologists, the term "lullaby" is derived from "Lilith Abe", Lilith begone, as to ward of SIDS.
Got a good chuckle when you mentioned your dog playing w/ the toilet paper roll, they are one of the favorite toys for my cats. There is one under my desk right now.
I first heard of Lilith/ Lilitu in connection with VTM (Vampire: The masquerade). She was connected to the story through one of the factions in the game. Many of the same points were there, Caine and Adam and Enoch and a connection with animals. It wasn’t until later that I learned the materiel the White Wolf Publishing authors borrowed from.
I had a zoom call with my seven year old's teacher yesterday and our new kitten did something similar. Lol. I got a book of mythology that included Lilith from my HS library, and I remember talking to my great aunt about her leaving Adam for him being an insecure ass. She laughed and said "Good for her. We're probably descended from her not Eve."
I just discovered your channel and I am so thrilled! I earned my MSLS at graduate university at Wayne State University. This is a Masters degree in Special and Medical Libraries, later I got certified for public libraries. I literally have a library in my house! Don’t get me in a book store because I WILL be finding something that I just have to have! Plus this video was right up my alley!! Thanks so much and I enjoy your interaction with your fur baby! Thanks so much!
Your readings made my heart pound. I appreciate all the different ground you covered. Lilith is fascinating. I tried explaining to some friends recently that most of what we know about her isn't actually in the Bible, but they seemed to only really be interested in what they learned from TV shows about vampires. I'll send them this video. Maybe they'll change their minds.
I love the thought that Lilith ends up a chimera- it really shows that women cannot win. If we are independent and in control of ourselves and our sexuality, we are villains, yet if we fully conform to what a man desires and give him not just our body but our whole selves, we truly are nothing at all but an empty reflection. Really awesome video!
Why would you even think that all men would do that to you? Lots of men, including me, totally respect women. We want you to be yourselves, no control. So yes, you can win. You be whatever you want to be. The men that don't like that, well just walk away from them.
Another man....I believe the opposite of what you say. Perhaps you should consider who you date. Some of use actually are looking for independent and in control women who also understand their sexuality. Not someone to do the laundry and be sub-serviant. Best of luck with your search and do not settle with second best.
Bring on the spook! Halloween is but the START of spooky season imho, I love this plan. Yet another spectacular video, my lady, and I thank you! I stumbled upon Macdonald's Lillith in my youth and my romantic goth heart fell head over heels in love with it. I love this subject and your video on it was wonderful - especially the part abt one if my favorite books that no one had ever heard of hehe 🖤
During my studies concerning the Lilith plaque I noticed a a few things about it, first it’s quite beautiful, then the symbolism within it, the two Owls represent the two pillars on the tree of life, owls in this case representing Death and Wisdom, also karma, one cannot escape Death, it’s inescapable, time, Cronos, Saturn. Her arms Open, meaning Her openness to All, Her wings Air: meaning Mind, very mercurial. Her headdress a symbol of Power, the Horns as Dualism but worn on Her to reconcile That duality (middle Pillar on the Tree of Life) the Circle and Rods representing Male and Female in a sexual sense (creation) also subject and object, the docile Lions showing that existence, one’s lower mind can be not just overcome, but under One’s Rulership, and what of Her mysterious Smile? Its for Her to know and us to find out! I’ve left out so many other things but I thought I’d share. Blessed Be Lady of the Library! Oh! Yes She is Ishtar and many other Goddess’ too, She is the Mother of All. 🌹
You said it quite well and truthfully!-Ms.D.M.Switzer P.S.The Real truth of LIFE is WOMEN are the strongest of the 2 Sexes and because we are of Flesh & Blood MEN fear that especially in the Bedroom!Do NOT submit to anyone You do NOT want to and force does NOT count.
Let me fix your view. When in the Bible it said god created them he was referring to a being of light caused and placed in a husk. This being scared god because of what it could become and so he split it in two. Male female and they forgot only through becoming one again could we escape Yahweh and go back to the true heaven. Hail lilith and left hand path.
A succubus is "one who lies beneath," while an incubus is "one who lies over," and a concubus will lie beside. It would seem Lilith fills each of those bowls.
I coined the term varicubus to refer to a being that fits more than one of these terms, and she certainly is the ultimate dom-vers, she'll top, bottom, or side but damn she wants to be in control no matter what
Oh my god you look amazing from your nails to your: rings, necklace, outfit, hair and lipstick! Everything is perfect 🖤 I still want a makeup collection/ jewelry collection to go with your wardrobe videos! Also I would love a no buy year update video and maybe a video of everything you bought this year! Keep the videos going, I love the dark histories!
My dog has learned how to open the bathroom door to get to the tiolet paper. He then steals a whole roll and pulls the tube out of the middle so he can destroy it.
I've started watching your videos from my recommendations and I'm very glad I have. Your videos are well researched. Also full of more new fun facts about mythology than I'd learned. Well done. :)
Thanks for continuing to "go spooky"! These videos have been an absolute vibe, and I've loved the varied and in-depth coverage of these characters and monsters. Looking forward to all of the videos to come.
Excellent job on this video, Cinzia. I really enjoyed this great breakdown & I thought you incorporated so many sources so well. Very informative & I could listen to you all day.🌹
Thank you, Cinzia. A very interesting video. I'm sure the whole interweb will tell you this but "ch" in Hebrew is pronounced as in the word 'loch' not as in 'choose'.
Lol my black cat's name is Lillith. I'm listening to this Halloween morning & she's just on the "laying an egg" looking so content, alert, yet peaceful since hearing her name from the speaker so many times. It's as if she's going,"*Relieved sigh* finally they're telling my story..let's see if they actually got it right this time.."😹😹😹 HAPPY HALLOWEEN Y'ALL!! 🖤🧡🖤🧡
I found your channel again after like 10 years. I remember you made The University Challenge video and that stuck with me. You came in clutch when I googled "Cleopatra race" so good job on that 😂
Interesting and fascinating stories that wouldn't have known about we're not for your videos. So thank you. Also what a cute little puppy!!! Absolutely melted my heart hearing that little guy.
@@leecorrigan8394 ohhhh I see. The same ol.I saw this depiction in Shadowhunters too. Very convincing. Except….yesterday, the VERYvfirst time I truly heard her story, there are sooo many plot holes that the ONLY explanation is it was ALL made up. Not only that, it was pretty obvious WHY it was made up I’d that SHE is the true creator god. SHE is the reason there are two creation stories in the Bible.
Very much enjoying your dark academia series, good lore and connections I was unaware of. Great presentation and love the pup as a guest star/interlude.
Lilith was one of the best books I ever read. It puts you in this dark surreal headspace that I only experienced with one other work, Phantastes, also by MacDonald. Loved this video, thank you for your channel!
I have over the years researched Lilith for various classes and projects and you still found and shared more than I knew! WOW! I loved this one. Nicely done!
Another interesting take on the creation myth, with Caine and Lilith, comes in the form of the Table Top RPG, Vampire: The Masquerade. I'd love to see you do a video on that. In that setting, instead putting a mark on Caine, God turns him into the first vampire (It's eluded to later, that God just might be a vampire, or blood god). Caine is sent into exile, and on his way, meets Lilith, Adam's first wife, now ex. She has become the Mother of Demons (much like the other myths surrounding her), and to spite both God and Adam, teaches him how to use the blood for various uses, called Disciplines. They become lovers, but have a falling out, Caine goes on his merry way, founds the city of Enoch and the first vampires, which get wiped out in the flood, and then creates 13 more after that, which become the clans you can choose to create your character from. The lore is absolutely epic.
Lovely video! I'm excited for the news that these will (hopefully still) continue for some time, but as a new sub, I must admit that I am enjoying a lot of your videos :) take care, x
This is my First time watching you and I must say you have an Immediate Fan and I'm truly entranced by your Lovely Voice , Stunning Beauty and Vast Knowledge of such Interesting Subjects. Your Entertaining ,Informative and I look forward to watching other Videos you made. So glad I came across this Channel. I have a Deep Spiritual connection with Lilith and I Thank You Sincerely for the New Information I learned. As I said You have a New and True Fan , Thank You. I look forward to learning from such a Wonderful Soul as Yours. 🙂
A lot of your topics, I know superficial information about. It is very interesting to have these base bits and pieces "Fleshed Out," so to speak. I'm enjoying listening to you while I practice Insect Bondage!
Incredible, specially that one on the Bible 😏 I‘m so happy I found your channel!!! Anyways, I‘d love the library since I met one (yes, I consider the Library a being) and even did volunteer work there as a teen. Looking forward to watch all your videos🤓😍📚
One thing that I find curious about Lilith's Myths, at least the ones that pertain to The Adam and Eve related Versions... She Chose to Leave the Garden herself, she wasn't Cast out, So technically that makes her the ONE Human to not have been burdened with the "Original Sin". Yet Somehow, despite her literally being the only Human ever that ISN'T a Sinner, she's the one that's Depicted as Evil somehow? It feels like a Contradiction to me. (Or at least she wasn't until she started Doing that whole "I'll Take and Kill every Child that isn't Mine!!!" thing for no apparent reason... Like are we meant to expect that she's Resentful towards Adam OR Eve for HER Choice to Leave the garden? I honestly don't get her Motivation here if we look at the story in a self contained way... I've Heard of Jealous Exes, but this seems like a bit much of an overreaction, no?) I know the Reason is because she was something Akin to a Demon in the Texts and Mythologies that predated Judaism and from which she was taken, but it still seems odd that her Being a demon or Evil Entity is just Taken for Granted despite her only action Within Judaic/Christian Texts alone was to receive that treatment was to just say "No, I won't Submit myself to you in Bed, if you wanna do it, we'll do it as Equals Side by Side!" (Then Adam went "But DAAAAAAD, she doesn't want to Choose to Subjugate herself to me! Make her!", and God Kinda went "Sorry Buddy, you're my Favorite and all and I'd like to help you, but all I can do is Ask her Nicely, Because I gave her free will just like I did you, except she's actually using it instead of being Blindly obedient..."). It feels like they Just Assumed that everyone would have the "Pop Culture" Knowledge of who she's meant to be without actually Including that information in the text... I know it's a thing in Archeology, where The Less is Written down about a Given Mythological Figure the more likely that it was just Common Knowledge that they figured they didn't Need to write it down because everybody already knew it, Like Kukulkan/Quetzalquatl in Mezoamerican Myths... But still! Also, as a note to the host in the video. I Like how when she Paraphrases Lilith's actions she's Doing it from the Modern Feminist Perspective of the story where Lilith is just Choosing to not be Taken down by a man (The Change in Speaking style and voice was also a nice touch)... It's Kinda Refreshing to hear it said that way in these kinds of Videos, Usually other Mythology Vids Go out of their way to REALLY Vilify Every little thing Lilith Does, even when she's Basically just Refusing to get "R Worded" (to be Clear, I like that she's doing it differently, and wit a bit of humor, the other dudes doing the vilification thing are also kinda needed for perspective on this Demonic Character)... The Level of Detail about Basically EVERY Version of the Character that we have access to was also nice, Many Vids like these will do a Resumed Unified Version of her stories that just kinda Pretends that everyone in history agreed to a singular Narrative for the character, Rather than presenting the various versions, This style is much more useful for the purposes of actually learning the Myhs! I also heard a few details about her Myths that I had never heard before here, and the small things can matter a lot when trying to make sense of ancient myths.
As an underdog with nice features, I know it sounds silly, but i have always found myself through Lilith. Especially when i discovered that my lilith sign was in Aries and in my first house... if you know u know ;)
Hail Lillith! Thank you Queen Mother for your patience, kindness and compassion towards me. Thank you for always answering when i call for you. Thank you for always coming through for me.
Love that. "Any intercourse with a demon.. however slight." I can imagine someone saying that today.. "Nah, babe, nothing happened between us, I promise! We just had a slight bit of intercourse!"
at 21:50 , I'm surprised you didn't bring up Lamia. At least to me, Lamia of ancient Greek mythology (a half-woman, half-snake who seduces men and kills babies, and who suffered a ton before taking her current form), better compares to that description of Lilith in Paradise Lost than Medusa or Scylla do to that description
@@CinziaDuBois I could tell that you used some good translations. There are nuances that are only in the Hebrew and Aramaic. Some of those customs, particularly those concerning birth and infants are still followed today including the amulets . Actually, there are several different customs from different Jewish groups. There is also the contrast between Lilith (She of the Night) in Hebrew and the Shechinah which is the divine presence and defined by the positive aspects of feminity ie, love, sanctity etc
I always admire Lilith, she is a strong woman who takes no bullshit from an insecure man!! And she choose to leave the Garden herself, she wasn't cast out of the garden, and some angels where even sent as messengers/mediator and asked her to go back with Adam (she refused for obvious reason!)
Hi I'm new to the channel and I had to come and say that your voice is amazing. Do you voice act?? Because I'm sure you'd be phenomenal at it! Voice acting or possibly reading books on audible? Very cool channel btw!
Perhaps a little disclaimer at the beginning would be appropriate: "I'm totally not Lilith, why would you even think that? This is not an autobiography, I swear!"
🤣

Because memoirs are different from autobiographies. 🧛🏽♀️
Huh.
Well, why even suggest that. Lilith is an immortal being and this woman resembles an ancient.
It never ceases to amuse me how many monsters of ancient lore are manifestations of men being scared of smart, strong-willed women who enjoy sex and/or don’t want to sleep with them.
It’s an archetype
i'm a woman and lilith scares me
@@adultdeleted She should. Some people today need to stop making everything about the patriarchy
Any archetype in ancient lore is a reflection of both men's and women's psyches, not just men's.

@nothereyetlost she was the mother of monsters and Sam and Dean had to take her out one season
@@leecorrigan8394 ohhhh I see. The same ol.I saw this depiction in Shadowhunters too. Very convincing. Except….yesterday, the VERYvfirst time I truly heard her story, there are sooo many plot holes that the ONLY explanation is it was ALL made up. Not only that, it was pretty obvious WHY it was made up I’d that SHE is the true creator god. SHE is the reason there are two creation stories in the Bible.
Very much enjoying your dark academia series, good lore and connections I was unaware of. Great presentation and love the pup as a guest star/interlude.
Lilith was one of the best books I ever read. It puts you in this dark surreal headspace that I only experienced with one other work, Phantastes, also by MacDonald.
Loved this video, thank you for your channel!
Who is the author?
I have over the years researched Lilith for various classes and projects and you still found and shared more than I knew! WOW! I loved this one. Nicely done!
That was awesome! I had no idea there was so much depth to Lilith.
I’m loving the dark history stories! These are so cool! I love to know where these amazing myths come from! I hope your day is sublime! ❤
Another interesting take on the creation myth, with Caine and Lilith, comes in the form of the Table Top RPG, Vampire: The Masquerade. I'd love to see you do a video on that. In that setting, instead putting a mark on Caine, God turns him into the first vampire (It's eluded to later, that God just might be a vampire, or blood god). Caine is sent into exile, and on his way, meets Lilith, Adam's first wife, now ex. She has become the Mother of Demons (much like the other myths surrounding her), and to spite both God and Adam, teaches him how to use the blood for various uses, called Disciplines. They become lovers, but have a falling out, Caine goes on his merry way, founds the city of Enoch and the first vampires, which get wiped out in the flood, and then creates 13 more after that, which become the clans you can choose to create your character from. The lore is absolutely epic.
Lovely video! I'm excited for the news that these will (hopefully still) continue for some time, but as a new sub, I must admit that I am enjoying a lot of your videos :) take care, x
This is my First time watching you and I must say you have an Immediate Fan and I'm truly entranced by your Lovely Voice , Stunning Beauty and Vast Knowledge of such Interesting Subjects. Your Entertaining ,Informative and I look forward to watching other Videos you made. So glad I came across this Channel. I have a Deep Spiritual connection with Lilith and I Thank You Sincerely for the New Information I learned. As I said You have a New and True Fan , Thank You. I look forward to learning from such a Wonderful Soul as Yours. 🙂
I still melt at your accent and voice. Happy Hallowe'en!
"giving him nothing where he gave his whole" I was listening in the background and almost spat my drink out.
Danke!
A lot of your topics, I know superficial information about. It is very interesting to have these base bits and pieces "Fleshed Out," so to speak. I'm enjoying listening to you while I practice Insect Bondage!
Took me a minute to understand that was insect and not, incest 😬🫣
Incredible, specially that one on the Bible 😏 I‘m so happy I found your channel!!! Anyways, I‘d love the library since I met one (yes, I consider the Library a being) and even did volunteer work there as a teen. Looking forward to watch all your videos🤓😍📚
I enjoyed your video. I particularly liked the last part, "BOOKS SAVE LIVES, SO KEEP READING"..🔥🔥🔥
Wonderful! Yes please keep on being spooky as long as you can. Your outfit and makeup are outstanding.
I just found your channel and I'm in love with all this lore and history!
I am loving this series.
I love your voice and the way you present your videos, very powerful!
Thanks!
I love your content thats much more like you telling stories. Much more entertaining and engaging.
Your reading voice is fabulous!!!
One thing that I find curious about Lilith's Myths, at least the ones that pertain to The Adam and Eve related Versions... She Chose to Leave the Garden herself, she wasn't Cast out, So technically that makes her the ONE Human to not have been burdened with the "Original Sin". Yet Somehow, despite her literally being the only Human ever that ISN'T a Sinner, she's the one that's Depicted as Evil somehow? It feels like a Contradiction to me. (Or at least she wasn't until she started Doing that whole "I'll Take and Kill every Child that isn't Mine!!!" thing for no apparent reason... Like are we meant to expect that she's Resentful towards Adam OR Eve for HER Choice to Leave the garden? I honestly don't get her Motivation here if we look at the story in a self contained way... I've Heard of Jealous Exes, but this seems like a bit much of an overreaction, no?)
I know the Reason is because she was something Akin to a Demon in the Texts and Mythologies that predated Judaism and from which she was taken, but it still seems odd that her Being a demon or Evil Entity is just Taken for Granted despite her only action Within Judaic/Christian Texts alone was to receive that treatment was to just say "No, I won't Submit myself to you in Bed, if you wanna do it, we'll do it as Equals Side by Side!" (Then Adam went "But DAAAAAAD, she doesn't want to Choose to Subjugate herself to me! Make her!", and God Kinda went "Sorry Buddy, you're my Favorite and all and I'd like to help you, but all I can do is Ask her Nicely, Because I gave her free will just like I did you, except she's actually using it instead of being Blindly obedient..."). It feels like they Just Assumed that everyone would have the "Pop Culture" Knowledge of who she's meant to be without actually Including that information in the text... I know it's a thing in Archeology, where The Less is Written down about a Given Mythological Figure the more likely that it was just Common Knowledge that they figured they didn't Need to write it down because everybody already knew it, Like Kukulkan/Quetzalquatl in Mezoamerican Myths... But still!
Also, as a note to the host in the video. I Like how when she Paraphrases Lilith's actions she's Doing it from the Modern Feminist Perspective of the story where Lilith is just Choosing to not be Taken down by a man (The Change in Speaking style and voice was also a nice touch)... It's Kinda Refreshing to hear it said that way in these kinds of Videos, Usually other Mythology Vids Go out of their way to REALLY Vilify Every little thing Lilith Does, even when she's Basically just Refusing to get "R Worded" (to be Clear, I like that she's doing it differently, and wit a bit of humor, the other dudes doing the vilification thing are also kinda needed for perspective on this Demonic Character)... The Level of Detail about Basically EVERY Version of the Character that we have access to was also nice, Many Vids like these will do a Resumed Unified Version of her stories that just kinda Pretends that everyone in history agreed to a singular Narrative for the character, Rather than presenting the various versions, This style is much more useful for the purposes of actually learning the Myhs! I also heard a few details about her Myths that I had never heard before here, and the small things can matter a lot when trying to make sense of ancient myths.
It was such a great video, thank you for your work !
amazing job & so informative.
very much love hearing you read as well! thank you
First video I saw last night and under 15 minutes I smash that subscribe button. So smart, so funny and so cute.
New here! Instant subscribe! Imma a witch and this definitely peaked my interest! Good Job!
I enjoyed this very much. So much info and info that I had never read or heard about before.
Just watched this superbly done video! Wow I am very impressed and became a new subscriber! Thank you!
As an underdog with nice features, I know it sounds silly, but i have always found myself through Lilith. Especially when i discovered that my lilith sign was in Aries and in my first house... if you know u know ;)
Hail Lillith! Thank you Queen Mother for your patience, kindness and compassion towards me. Thank you for always answering when i call for you. Thank you for always coming through for me.
Love that. "Any intercourse with a demon.. however slight." I can imagine someone saying that today.. "Nah, babe, nothing happened between us, I promise! We just had a slight bit of intercourse!"
I wanted to make that joke in the video but I thought people would call me out for being too crude
@@CinziaDuBois you mean *B A S E D* ?
I figured it was a jab at weirdos who think intercourse is only PIV 😂
Loved this video, thank you for sharing!
Lilith is mentioned in The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe
at 21:50 , I'm surprised you didn't bring up Lamia. At least to me, Lamia of ancient Greek mythology (a half-woman, half-snake who seduces men and kills babies, and who suffered a ton before taking her current form), better compares to that description of Lilith in Paradise Lost than Medusa or Scylla do to that description
I’ve done a whole video on Lamia that’s why haha
Ok what kind of awesome sorcery I have managed to discover. IN LOVE WITH YOUR VOICE, CONTENT, AESTHETIC (there’s hope after all) ❤🤩
I was a member of a Chevra Kaddisha for 15 years. Your description was.... not bad for a non-jew. Thank you.
Hey, I'll take not bad!
@@CinziaDuBois I could tell that you used some good translations. There are nuances that are only in the Hebrew and Aramaic. Some of those customs, particularly those concerning birth and infants are still followed today including the amulets . Actually, there are several different customs from different Jewish groups.
There is also the contrast between Lilith (She of the Night) in Hebrew and the Shechinah which is the divine presence and defined by the positive aspects of feminity ie, love, sanctity etc
Thank you eternally.
Great Channel & Excellent Work!
😎👍
I always admire Lilith, she is a strong woman who takes no bullshit from an insecure man!! And she choose to leave the Garden herself, she wasn't cast out of the garden, and some angels where even sent as messengers/mediator and asked her to go back with Adam (she refused for obvious reason!)
It’s FAR more than that. I believe she was the one true god, hence the demonizing
I love your energy and way talk. Intelligence is drawn.❤
I wish you had a podcast, your voice is so soothing. Just love learning from you.
That was absolutely fascinating. Thank you, LOL. Can’t wait to see the next one. Thank you again
Brilliant! I love the spooky content, and I am glad you'll keep it going throughout the winter.
I really love all these mythology videos you’re doing 💛🧜♀️🧚♀️🧞♀️🧝♀️🧛♀️
Also your outfit in this video is fire 🔥
I love this video! And I love the music.
Hi I'm new to the channel and I had to come and say that your voice is amazing. Do you voice act?? Because I'm sure you'd be phenomenal at it! Voice acting or possibly reading books on audible? Very cool channel btw!
My first video and a new subscriber! Thank you!
Thank you very cool qabbalisitic look at vampiress lady of the library 😃👋
This has put me in the mood to listen to Lilith by Bjork and Plaid 😁
Lilith must have had a heck of a day-care bill come the end of the month... :)
Great look. Love your videos 😁
Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much and also for the square space info ❤❤❤
Is funny that you're trying to tell a scary storie but your dog just keeps being lovely on camera🐶😅!
Hi, from London! Your hair looks fabulous 😊
