Thinking of how werewolf knights would handle armour

If they don't change size too drastically, chainmail and most plate armour should be fine if attached in a way that allows it to move with the transformation, but what about hands and feet and paws. Especially feet actually. Boots are too restrictive, but you can't go around on a battlefield barefoot (unless you have like. Really tough skin.) Maybe using loose leather/stiff fabric strips that can just ride up if the foot changes shape?

Pondering.

What type of occult books I would NOT recommend to beginners:

1) The wrong books for beginners are painfully tedious, dry texts that are far removed from someone’s interests. I am talking about that bland, sandpaper stuff that feels like a strain to read. They may have been pressured into starting with those particular books because they are occult "classics," but they really aren’t what they want to do. They feel obligated to read them before moving onto what they really want to be studying. This kind of curriculum works for some people, but for others it is a recipe for burn out. Honestly I have had more success working backwards. Start with what you want to know/do and fill in the gaps as you go along. It's way more interesting and gives you a framework to quickly apply what you learn. This framework helps you learn more in the long run.

2) Another wrong type of book for beginners is something way above their current knowledge level to the point they can't retain anything. Without any context, most of the dense stuff sounds like gibberish. You’d have better luck going outside and hanging out with a flock of pigeons to learn the language of birds to know the divine. This kind of impenetrably dense reading can leave them feeling defeated and also lead to burn out. There is of course value in challenging yourself. However, telling a newbie who knows literally nothing to pick up reading in the middle of the Typhonian Trilogies to learn about Thelema is not helpful. Yes some people learn that way, but that’s not normal.

3) Lastly, another wrong type of book for beginners is something that is poorly researched and contains factually incorrect information. I am talking about a lot of things beyond just AI books, but also AI produced books fall into this category too. Publishers who aren’t specifically magick/witchcraft/occult publishers trying to dabble in publishing occult books often fall into this trap. The ones that make this mistake, assume that their author can fact check themselves. They have no one in house who knows anything about the topic. This is how you get straight up wrong things published and it’s garbage. Newbies have no idea how to sift through the garbage of these books and may accidentally end up ingesting unhelpful/dangerous/bigoted/incorrect information. Not all occult books from non-occult publishers are bad, but when they are terrible, they are the worst.

Something beyond the sweat and tears The blood is enough to keep us in the clear And are we still lucky to be here? Are we still lucky to be here? Are we still lucky to be here?

I wish I could say Something sane to wash away And annihilate the trauma that we save It might take just one Reason inside to carry on Or something sharp to cut these trauma bonds

the flesh is unwilling and honestly, the spirit isn't too keen on the idea either

Some cute little otters for Arcaneknight! I drew this for last month’s Secret Santa event in my discord server ~ If we could transform into an animal we’d all choose to be an otter, right? Right??

Lil’ fan art for @canisalbus ❤️ This is different from what I usually draw, but please accept this as "extra content".

It was a joy to draw these beautiful characters, and it was refreshing to draw clothes and backgrounds!
