Hanging with the Librarians!

I'm headed to MASL this weekend!

I am super excited to be headed to MASL this weekend. (That’s the Missouri Association of School Librarians conference.) I love hanging out with people who love books as much as I do. I’ll be doing three workshops – so if you are attending the conference – please come visit me!!! I’ll be teaching Library Alchemy on Sunday morning at 10:30am. We’ll be talking about how to pair fiction and…

The rarely-seen Fellows’ Library of Jesus College, Oxford 📚. Thomas Vaughan, alchemist and explorer of the ‘wild of magick’ 🔮, borrowed books from these curious old bookcases - and reputedly made off with a Welsh dictionary!

To find out about Vaughan, his alchemist wife, Rebecca, and his mystical twin brother, Henry, see my blog post here ✨!

peripeteia ~ chapter fifteen ・❥・

When sixteen year-old Tom Riddle is reborn from his diary after half a century of waiting, he has a clear plan in mind. No one knew the secrets of the castle and the art of mastering a charming persona as he did. However, in his endless hours of planning, he had never once accounted for her. Will soft eyes, an unexpected academic rivalry, and a summer at The Burrow change fate’s course, or will the world fall to the combined power of two Dark Lords?

[I.D. Digital phone drawing of Draxum from ROTTMNT, TMNT 2003 Stockman, and several original characters. In the first Draxum gestures at a blackboard with various diagrams on it, a piece of chalk in his hand. He smiles, his eyes wide with a frantic energy, and an arrow points to him labeled "hasn't slept in two days". He says "So what do you think of my research? any questions?" The next panel shows Stockman and two OCs sitting at a table. Stockman, at the head of the table, has his arms crossed and frowns, an arrow pointing to him labeled "didn't understand a thing". Buana, a tiger yokai, has his head down on his arms as he snores. Sumire, a fox-like yokai, smirks and signs "Why is there air?" in response to Draxum's question. The last panel shows Draxum snarling and gesturing back at the blackboard as he shouts "About my research!!" End I.D.]

Draxum bragging about how he figured out how to make a mutagen that stably turns humans into non-humans and it only requires him to break like six laws versus his friends that do not have the knowledge of alchemy required to know what the heck he's going on about

The Book Of Sacred Magic Project

I’m thrilled to share a first look at the cover design for one of the works in my upcoming Thaumaturgic Whispers Digital Occult Library! 📚✨ This is The Book of Sacred Magic, a timeless occult text filled with mystical knowledge and ancient wisdom.

This project is my way of breathing new life into the classics—crafting beautiful, modern designs while preserving the rich history and teachings these works hold. 🌙✨

What do you think of this cover design? I’d love to hear your thoughts as I continue building a library filled with inspiring and magical resources for you all. 💫

Stay tuned for more updates as the library unfolds!

One of my favorites, lol

Alchimia e Mistica, libro della Tashen, casa editrice inestimabile. Divide il processo alchemico per fasi, per ogni fase in ogni pagina un o'opera artistica, un dipinto, una litografia, una statua collegato a tale processo, con una breve descrizione. Di grande ispirazione per me, fonte inestimabile di esoterismo. Non mi considero una strega, ma una studiosa. Amo le fonti, amo andarle a cercare, amo l'alchimia come processo di evoluzione nel Solve et Coagula, ma per me è una filosofia, non una dottrina.

peripeteia ~ chapter fourteen ・❥・

The feel of him against her set wildfires ablaze; a thrilling, torturous burn that was sure to leave nothing but ashes. Cheek pressed against his robes, she could feel the thud of his heart; another implicit biological process, yet a surprising reminder of just how human he was. Her senses were overwhelmed by the feel and the scent of him: something woody and warm and dreadfully intoxicating. Stunned, Hermione counted several more of his heartbeats, each one coming quicker than the last, before her mind ticked back to life and she pulled away.

These leaves mostly contain quotes and poetry from other texts. I copy stuff into my own Book of Shadows all the time!
