I can't believe I showed up to the Warrior Cats panel in my Gregg cosplay after spending the day in leopard ears and tail.

It was a bit of a rocky start, but I spent a fun morning at #Howloween2025 as an assistant vendor to @wafflewishes.bsky.social

> This book bills itself as THE Astrological Grimoire. Sadly, while the authors had over a thousand years to write a classic that may be placed alongside such works as Picatrix, readers would likely be disappointed with the numerous omissions the ensuing work sadly possesses. Although the authors have provided information on horoscopes, their elements and ruling planets, essential pieces of knowledge like the aethereal nature of the eight celestial spheres that surround the Earth, or the means by which the wandering stars filter divine power from the fixed stars are missing. Basic ritual work, such as the creation of hallucinogenic incenses to commune with the planets, the performance of animal sacrifices to appease them before they may grant one's desires, the construction of magical amulets from plant, animal and/or human body parts, and appropriate hours and days to perform aforementioned rituals are wholly absent. Without such vital sections, the advice given on how to arrange altars and monthly affirmations will likely be useless to the customer base, who would be unable to perform rituals with goals as basic as currying the favour of the local nobility or the destruction of enemy settlements using this book.

There will be a new light shining in Silverpelt soon.

May StarClan light your path, Mr. Smokey.

Another OC who's a long time coming, Calum MacLeod, Douglas' privateering cousin for a slightly belated Talk like a Pirate Day.

I'm going to admit that he started life with "what if Douglas had a cousin who was just Fox McCloud but a pirate, ha ha ha?"

The last (but most certainly not least) Varangian/Byzantine adventurer, Wulfrun the Anglo-Saxon archer. I think there were English equivalents to seiðmenn, but I'm not sure what the word for them were. At any rate she is the team's resident magic archer.

Veleslava the Varangian Viper, next in the Byzantine adventuring team. She is a seiðmaðr like Thrud, but unlike her she actually prefers to use magic in battle.

Another part of the team Hesychios is in, Thrud the Varangian eagle and the head of the adventurers (for now).

She's a seiðrmaðr, but prefers to keep her abilities to enchanting weapons while taking part in the melee, if she isn't a berseker or something.

Simplified my #OC Hesychios' design slightly.

They're actually from the (medieval fantasy) equivalent of North Macedonia and would normally call themselves Hesihiy, but they use the Greek form as a member of the court of the fantasy!Byzantine Emperor.

"Aspect of the Wolf" by Mike Franchina in Trench Crusade with the caption (courtesy of KaimTime): There’s something there, bubbling in the waves, the desire to wonder - wouldn’t you be happier? To gain a sense of purpose, of clarity. To feel it all click into place like your claws on the floor. There’s more to this than you’ve ever been told. But the door only opens when you realize you weren’t meant to talk, but to ROAR.

Today was the last day of an exhibition at the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library about Jewish-Muslim interactions. It had a lot of spectacular manuscripts, or replicas thereof.

I went out after lunch. There was a native encampment at Queen's Park opposing Ford's new laws allowing the unregulated exploitation of Native land. They also had a pop-up fundraiser where I got some lemonade.

I spent the last leg hiking to the ferry on the west end of the archipelago. It was quite a peaceful experience.
