Just finished reading Lee Morgan’s A Deed Without A Name: Unearthing the Legacy of Traditional Witchcraft. 

This book provides what is hands down one of my favorite takes on what witchcraft has historically meant. His definition is, of course, not the only valid definition of witchcraft or even of traditional witchcraft, but it’s remarkable for its cohesiveness, its usefulness, and the quality of the historical data that supports it. He touches on everything from pacts, hedge crossing, riding, second skins, demon and fairy lovers, familiars, the concept of the sabbat through time, and ‘the witch’ as someone who exists uniquely outside the world of the living, and he connects folklore and historical attestation to modern testimony. He also gives some pretty stellar practical guides for performing the kind of witchcraft he discusses. This book has some of the best, most comprehensible and illuminating explanations for what these experiences actually look and feel like that I’ve ever encountered. 

tag game: attach gifs of your favorite tv shows without naming them, then tag 10 people to do the same.

Eeehhhhhh *shrug*?? I had to stretch to get this far. There are other shows I like, but they aren't "favorites". These are what I can watch (and In some cases have watched) repeatedly. 'Cause I don't really do tv, whether broadcast or streaming. Podcasts, YouTube, and books/audiobooks are what I spend my time on. But! Here's my list nonetheless

Reminder that Freyr's reaction to seeing a giant woman with beautiful arms was to become so deeply consumed by his feelings of longing that he refused to leave his room, and both his dad and his servant/childhood buddy had to confront him about it.
