Jerry the jester: you’re telling me the maiden was illiterate, but liked reading books?

George the fletcher: books and scrolls! She has a body, she has all her teeth, at least the front ones you see when she smiles, but Jerry, she pretends to read!

Elaine the Mother Superior: ya know George, maybe she just doesn’t to want you to know about what she’s reading?

George: you’re saying she can read in her head? It can’t be! Even the head librarian at the abby at least mutters

Jerry: everyone at least mutters. I’ve picked up gossip for my best material from the king’s mutters.

Elaine: listening to the king’s mutters? You’re living dangerous, Jerry.

High mage Kramer, bursting into the hovel’s door: Woah! The great empire to the east has mounted an army riding atop elephants. You think the king is gonna be mad I didn’t see that in the runes last week?

This is my favorite episode!!! Turn that shit UP Gav Prime! I love when High Mage Kramer claims that the soup necromancer stewed the chicken that would have forecast the invasion through augury

As if a chicken augur could predict an eastern invasion 😂😂😂😂

gavamont

But they are all scrambling through the waste piles looking for the boiled chicken corpse, causing George the fletcher to catch the plague!

THIS SHOW IS SO STUPID!!!! They have no dedication to continuity, it's just random jokes!!!! George never dies of plague! They never even show him with buboes!!!!!!!!!

gavamont

It’s not about the continuity. It’s about the comedy of the many magical ways High Mage Kramer bursts through the hovel door.

#and as if high mage kramer would ever allow the plague to take his favourite fletcher

My African Wizard Robes are finished :) (with the amazing help of my partner @13mo who assisted with the ribbon trim <3) Its made out of hand dyed indigo panels, the front middle six being patterned by a batik wax resist process. The decor is made out of clay, shells, seed beads and abalone buttons all hand sewn on! I can't wait to get started on the staff and maybe... a hat

The most important part of tapping into raw and unfettered arcane power is to have fun and be yourself. 😌

We present to you Omicron 2: Judgement Day, a special anniversary of the only radio show, the sequel. We bring you a show for the ages, with a specially curated setlist of weird and obscure music stretching back almost a century, calibrated to delight, entertain, and confuse.

Hop aboard the contraption that is Omicron Mystery Hour 2, a show brought to you by your two favorite time travelers… 2!

You can find the episode HERE OR you can check out our backlog and listen to pretty much everything we’ve ever recorded (give or take a few episodes) HERE

At some point in the 1400s, Saint Antonius of Florence got a haircut.

He sought the services of a local barber-surgeon named Master Peter, who was presumably honored to cut the prelates hair. But a ways into his grooming, the Saint-to-be started to wonder. Master Peter could not read Latin. How could a lay-florentine barber-surgeon learn to cut hair and heal the sick with such skill? Master Peter told Antonius that he had purchased a “book of surgery” from some cistercian monks, and it was from this book that he had learned the arts of healing. The saint asked to see the book, and the barber complied.

The archbishop found a book full of healing arts, but also the incantations, formulas, and signs of the wicked magical arts. So he took the book with him, and burned it in the fire of the cloister of San Marco. According to one witness account, the air in the cloister turned dark and fearsome. The citizens and nobles in attendance clung to the archbishop. He told them not to be afraid. The book contained malicious incantations, and the air would return to normal once it was fully burned in the cleansing fire. Later, a mass was held in celebration of the demons’ purgation. Incidentally, the writings of St. Antonius of Florence would go on to influence the particular misogyny of the Malleus Malleficarum. [2]

It is clear that a great many texts went the way of Master Peter’s book of Barber-mancy. History has lost many a text to inquisitorial fires. But from scant accounts like these, we get a sense for the contents and character of these lost medieval grimoires.

I have been stuck in the Time Vortex (health shitting the bed) so thank you everyone for looking after my towers. Surely nothing has gone wrong in the meantime and all is as I left it.
