Welsh Occult Conference 2023

This year's Welsh Occult Conference was great. Some brief thoughts...

Click for the Welsh Occult Conference Facebook Group (image taken from there) It is often said that paganism is the religion with homework, and occultists (like reconstructionists) take this to the next level. We are the people of the library! I love a good conference, and the Welsh occult conference is excellent. Organised and hosted by Sian Sibley and the DragonOak coven, there are always a…

Rowan Northwood from Dragonoak is asexual!

[ightham]

heres a reminder to read dragonoak and bitfrost by sam farren because theyre both incredibly gay books with very good representation and high fantasy plots

(photo id: an instagram post by farren.books, the photo is a screenshot of their books amazon listings, where they are currently free. the caption is:

"Looking for something free to read? Looking for a whole bunch of lesbians in character-driven fantasy worlds? Great news! From the 17th-21st, four of my books are free! That's around 750,000 words to chew on for the low, low price of clicking a button. Just search "Sam Farren" on Amazon. You don't even need a Kindle, as they can be read on any phone, tablet, or PC! And if you've already read them, why not recommend them to a friend? There are dragons, pirates, necromancers, knights, witches, gods, and a weird castle trapped in unmeltable ice. What more could you want?" the caption is followed by hashtags related to free books and lgbt stories/authors.

Rowan and Katja from Dragonoak

[evelynstarshine]

I miss dragonoak fanart remember when people on tumblr made dragonoak fanart? i miss that i wanna see rowan, really messed up, like when she fell off the mountain. All broken and glowy, but in a gay way. as a treat. ok

[askanaroace]

If you’re looking for a book with an asexual main character but their asexuality isn’t the main plot point, I cannot recommend the @dragonoak trilogy enough! I just finished the final book, and I just want to cry at how good it is!

The main character is asexual and in so many happy, wonderful loving relationships, including an explicitly romantic, long-term one with another woman. (And did I sniff out a potentially qpr-like relationship with another character?)

Her asexuality doesn’t define her, but it is something present in her relationships. All it takes is once saying “I’m not into doing that” about sex and her girlfriend respects that and backs off and they are intimate in other ways. It’s so beautiful.

Dragonoak is a fantasy series that features pirates! Plus, a unique new race that has horns and tusks (check out their FAQ for some awesome art of this), they’re so cool! Seriously, what more could you want!? The main character, Rowan, is a necromancer. The series revolves around Rowan’s struggle wanting to help people but needing to protect herself, as necromancer’s are feared, used, and killed once discovered in these times. In the bigger picture, Rowan and her companions are trying to save their lands from a dragon scourge that isn’t at all what it seems like.

This series is so refreshing to read. There’s so much queer rep. So many women dating women. Some men dating men (although this book first and foremost is about women, so the women characters greatly outnumber the men). Trans people. Nonbinary gender neutral people. They pronouns for people. Asexuality. And while some characters have faced judgement and prejudice for these things, the message by and large is that we’re here, we’re queer, and we’re awesome! Plus, there’s tons of characters of color and some disabled and addiction rep as well! Everyone just so seamlessly flows together. There’s a good chance you’ll come across a character you can relate with in these books.

Honestly, I’m more of a magical realism person than a fantasy person, but this series by the wonderful Sam Farren flips fantasy on its head and elevates the genre.

Book 1: https://www.amazon.com/Dragonoak-Complete-Kastelir-Sam-Farren-ebook/dp/B00WOXQVM2/ Book 2: https://www.amazon.com/Dragonoak-Sky-Beneath-Sam-Farren-ebook/dp/B0190VMWFK/ref=pd_sim_351_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=SFTFD4NG73W34YTY1YDS Book 3: https://www.amazon.com/Dragonoak-Gall-Wormwood-Sam-Farren-ebook/dp/B01MUEUF7K/ref=pd_sim_351_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=BZSDZP5C581QTETTAA16 (Check out Dragonoak tumblr linked in the beginning for more buying options as well!)

These are books I’m going to go back and re-read several times over. Just an incredible journey.

[mageflow]

My take on Claire from Dragonoak. A great series, full of everything you could want from a very gay fantasy novel.

We did not have to be everything to each other to mean the world to one another.

@yoccu found my mumbling about Dragonoak for my #今日の気分は a couple of days ago and asked for my full playlist so here it is: 2 hours and 36 minutes of nonstop emotions about the Dragonoak trilogy, which, uh, if you haven’t already read, you really should.
