There are homeowners who refuse to be haunted by anything less than a lord or a lady. Refuse to accept their spectres are more likely to be chimney sweeps' climbing boys, maids who took their own lives. Sooty prints and shattered vases tell workers' tales. – #CJosiffe #Ghosts
The more I look through early modern books of magical charms and spells, the more I think fantasy authors are overlooking an important ability for their mages: curing toothaches.
I swear, every book has two or three of them, then switches to a few pages of "oh, and this is how to summon a demon."
This is the sort of tree you see and immediately feel compelled to leave offerings for

Although, as someone who studied in Wales, I could have done without the student evaluation that simply read, "He does the most amazing things with sheep."
The *one* time I don't pause to look at a grimoire in media, and it's a new one to me.
There goes my weekend.
Not your body, not your business
Back when I taught, I used stick figures and sheep to illustrate everything on the chalkboard. It's all you need.
(It led to an abundance of plush sheep gifts from students, which I still treasure.)
I've watched so many terrible Tubi movies for precisely this reason.

And I think my head is melting 🎵
