Our medieval curator Alison Ray introduces Rawlinson Bodleian Library MS. Rawl. D. 252...a 15th Century necromancer's journal.

This manuscript contains spells written in Latin and Middle English, and would have served as a reference for a professional sorcerer.

Cutting and pinning all done, and both jackets are in Wesley's much more capable hands for sewing.

Please hire me to be your town sorcerer. I can scatter wildflower petals to commemorate areas where people spot cool bugs. I can sit on a large boulder and think about extremely tall toads. I can search for leaves that look a bit like local heroes and cryptids.

A new study finds humanity’s connection to nature has fallen by 60% since 1800, driven largely by urbanization & weakened family transmission. Reversing the decline may require a tenfold increase in green space. But changing language might help as well.

John C Campbell Folk school. TA'ing for a friend's weaving class!

Oh my gosh those looms are beautiful!!

The beans are not mine to spill, but SO many good things have happened in the last week. So many things my husband and I have been working on are coming to fruition!

7 skeins of yarn looped over a drying rack on a sunny day. A variety of colors and textures.

The weather finally cooperated with my free time a few days ago, and i got a bunch of handspun washed and set. Most of this is wool, except for the one white skeins of Himalayan stinging nettle.

Finished last night at 10pm! 11yds 10in, though that will shrink with washing.

Heads-up Heathens, Pagans, & Witches, new Christian Nationalist BS just dropped.

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

If you were alive in the 1980s, this is among the most wonderful & truly incredible things you have ever witnessed in your lifetime.

Took this pic right before I hit 1/8th of an inch away from 8yd. Trying to squeeze in two pattern repeats every day now, as I've quite fallen behind.

New York Times guest essay “is it time to stop snubbing your right-wing family?”

Wild that right-wing families somehow aren’t to blame for their longstanding and systematic snubbing of queer and lefty children.

Woah! This is pretty cool! James Gunn put Teenage Anarchist on the official Superman Movie Spotify playlist!

Our pressure worked: The State Department has finally issued guidance for how individuals can proceed after a federal judge blocked President Trump's anti-trans passport policy.

If you or your loved ones are affected by this policy, we're here with more information.

Just shy of 7 yards! Trying to hit that by the end of the day, and get another yard by Sunday.

No other liquor does this to me

I get tequila, and I start criticizing fashion. It's a rule.

My favorite shuttle is extra blunt at both ends for how much I do this 😂

Picture of a loom, close up on the fabric being formed. It is a mixture of brown and cream, with various blue and yellow stripes.

My knees feel crunchy today, but I wove a yard yesterday! I'm at just past 6 yards now, and only two more officially to go (though I'm sure there will be extra at the end)
