I want that bone knife. And the bell. And the sigil box. And the... oh who am I kidding, I want all of these!

Turning people to sheep is such a hassle though! You have to sheer them and stable them and herd them from pasture to pasture, it's so much work! I recommend turning them into hummingbirds instead, so much prettier and they help the flowers grow!

I believe bees are also a valid option then. Not the hive ones, but the solitary. Bf has a lot of them in our garden, it’s perfect.

Personally, if I’m turning someone into something, I find ash incredibly effective.

If someone has committed such a heinous offence that they deserve to lose their current form, I prefer turning them into bookends.

On an unrelated note, I’m almost out of bookends again.

(Don’t worry, @weare-occultist​ - I have no intention of turning you into a bookend even if you manage to successfully steal those tomes.)

[weare-occultist]

Ah, no worries Librarian. I have plenty of counter charms for exactly that situation. You’d be surprised how often it comes up.

[wearelibrarian]

Interesting… do you happen to have any extras? One of my pages managed to get themselves hexed into a cat. Having another library cat is nice, but their lack of opposable thumbs is making it more difficult to complete their job duties.

I tried the various charms and potions I have on hand, but this hex is a nasty one. If you could help, I might consider returning your library card.

[weare-occultist]

Depends. Is it a hex or a curse? Any idea who cast it? What exactly did they turn into? If you know who cast it, do you know what kind of spell it was?

Totally unrelated but could I just get a quick look at my card again? I just wanted to see it.

The Domovoi [Slavic mythology]

Are you too lazy to do household chores, but too poor for servants? You could try traveling to Russia to find and convince a Domovoi to live with you. According to folklore of Russia (and several Slavic countries), the Domovoi is a peaceful household spirit and usually manifests as a small, hairy man (often portrayed with a long, unkempt beard). At winter, the Domovois of a neighbourhood often band together to celebrate and hold parties. 

A Domovoi will clean and perform chores and labor for its masters, but they can be a nuisance if members of the household disrespect it, make the house too dirty or if they use vulgar language, which the Domovoi dislikes. In such cases, they will actively haunt the house they inhabit, which ranges from playing harmless yet annoying pranks on the inhabitants to breaking objects and howling loudly during the night. To avoid this, one should leave a platter of food for the household Domovoi at night.

They are distinct beings from the Dvorovoi, which is a similar creature but lives outside, taking care of courtyards and gardens.

Cryptid Drawtober Day 2—Dover Demon!

This cute little creep was first seen in Dover, MA in April of 1977 crawling along a rock wall in the middle of the night. Some say it was a mutant or an alien, others say it was a baby moose or foal, others say it was a total hoax. Maybe he was just a sleepy lil guy minding his own business and trying to find his way home to get some zzz’s.

Just because your hat is tilted aside jauntily does not prove your superiority. My wizard hat is set neatly atop my head so that it is secure against strong breezes and someone condescendingly flicking the brim

[azzandra]

I can tell that people condescendingly flicking your brim is a recurring issue for you.

[weare-occultist]

Can confirm. I keep condescendingly flicking nerd wizard hats.
