Energy. Life. Death. All of it. We rise and we fall and then we rise once more. We’re all on different paths, but death doesn’t discriminate. It comes for everyone. It’s what you do with it that sets you apart.

You stumble upon a weird library in a rather unnervingly smelly alley. Pick some books to take home

Some people like to settle down with a good book. No-one in possession of a complete set of marbles would like to settle down with a book of magic, because even the individual words have a private and vindictive life of their own and reading them, in short, is a kind of mental Indian wrestling. Many a young wizard has tried to read a grimoire that is too strong for him, and people who've heard the screams have found only his pointy shoes with the classic wisp of smoke coming out of them and a book which is, perhaps, just a little fatter. Things can happen to browsers in magical libraries that make having your face pulled off by tentacled monstrosities from the Dungeon Dimensions seem a mere light massage by comparison.

Books to read if you liked avatar the last Airbender

If you enjoyed elemental elements of avatar and how it was all about balance and strong independent female main characters with azulas intelligence might I suggest

1. The poppy wars trilogy written by R.F kuang (check trigger warnings for this series as it's an incredibly heavy book and not recommended for children)

If you enjoyed uncle irohs love of tea and wisdom and just genuinely enjoy stories revolving around healers and a unique magic system as well fighting a corrupt spirits might I suggest

2. A magic steeped in poison duology by Judy I Lin

If you enjoyed the more combative elements of avatar where it included the elements and bending with them and the martial arts portion and want a story more akin to zuko with his twin blades and his alter ego the blue spirit or the scenes with ba sing se where the earth king has no idea about the 100 year war and when he finds out his whole world is turned upside down might I suggest

3. The sword of kaigan by M.L Wang

Only in this one it doesn't center on adults but children of prominent powerful families..

..

Now if you simply want more stories within the world of avatar I suggest

4. The rise of kyoshi by F.C Yee

5. The shadow of kyoshi by F.C Yee

6. The dawn of yangchen by F.C Yee

7. The legacy of Yangchen by F.C Yee

Just posted by Chris Perkins over on blue butterfly social network - an image I did back in 2021 that only found its way to public in 2024 DMG. Fun cute thing nonetheless!AD Kate Irwin

📖 Grimoire! 📖

I can finally share with you this gorgeous, SHINY cover design for my next book, "Queer Rites: A Magickal Grimoire to Honor Your Milestones with Pride," a collection of rituals for queer rites of passage. It's coming January 8, 2025 and is **now available for pre-order**.

Llewellyn art director Shira Atakpu absolutely knocked this design out of the park. My jaw was on the damn FLOOR when I saw this.

I am so hype to share this book with you all. It's got rituals contributed from some of my very favorite queer pagan authors: Misha Magdalene, Storm Faerywolf, Ron Padrón, and Brandon Weston. And the foreword is written by none other than Ariana Serpentine, who wrote the brilliant "Sacred Gender."

If you want the visceral pleasure of windmill-slamming that "purchase" button, you can get that TODAY by pre-ordering from a few key retailers (more coming soon).
