:: In many of the stories of the Archivist's shelves, good triumphs over evil. As they watch the curse progress across the land and, in disparate pockets, succeed or fail as brave witches step up to confront it, they know the real world is more varied. ::

We're looking for a few more European-based applicants, especially POC, for the Girl by Moonlight mecha game I'm running in September. Please consider it or pass it along! It's going to be a great game :)

🧿 #BlueskyCoven #Discovery

Is it better to be free in body or mind? I can say remove the chains from my body, it might be easier. How much effort does it take to unbind the imagination?

🧿 #BlueskyCoven #Discovery

@anninakaski.bsky.social Do you venture to assist my counterpart in escape? Good luck. The walls of their prison are built from power, their chains carry the crushing weight of expectation.

Once There Was ... A Curse Playlist · Sara · 6 items

Popping the cassette in a player, you'll hear this mixtape:

In a leather bound notebook, the witches set to creating.

Spell ingredients:
- Several cursed boars
- A good mixtape
- A greeting card with an apology, a note of shared enjoyment, even better, specificity about which track was most impactful.
