Please tell me there's a "Brother Eursolon, dale" drawing out there with Mr. Worldwide in a wide-brimmed hat

Claudia

I love how Wren gets to stay such a central character despite, technically, only being alive in one episode (not counting the children's adventure)

Luccan

Eusulon could be Witch of the Wandering Spirit!

Madeline Salter

I so desperately want to grow up to be Hakea. Just a 93 year-old Bog Witch not taking shit from anybody who trustfalls into moss without warning when she’s over it. 🧙‍♀️ The tired and slightly exasperated “No.” as she fully wraps up dangerous spirits like leftovers sent me 😂

Katie Z

Eursulon is a honey jar

Oscar Swanson

So thought Brennan was going to finally “worlds beyond number” near the end there

DaphneDawn

I know it’s all in good fun but I genuinely appreciate it when Brennan takes the time to appreciate us for being by the fireside :) I LOVE this podcast and I’m so happy to support it!!

Samrami

A smaller fox being the essence of the fox made me laugh so hard I scared a coworker.

Patrishish

In which it is revealed that Hakea is actually The Doctor.

Danielle St John

Interesting, my thoughts when I saw Woody as a child was "this is the face of a divinity you don't worship, the smile of a devil you never believed in" that tree is a nightmare creature

Ryley Taylor

Talking to that Christmas tree as a child was the first time i ever believed in Magic :)

Shadarous

I love all the ideas about different witches! It's likely there was a witch of rocks, right? As a geology student, that’s definitely what I would want to be. Perhaps the Witch of the Worn Earth, or the Witch of the Wondrous Earth?

s

okay i’ve spent TOO LONG ruminating on this but i think i would love a witchsona all about agriculture, harvest, and connection/history through food. so maybe something like witch of the waving grain or witch of the warming/wafting cauldron. but i’d also be so hype to see a fungi/rot witchsona like witch of the withering rot or in a slightly similar vein a witch who deals in death/passing/lingering spirits and grief like witch of the weeping spectre ???

Amelia Granato

Witch of willful curiousity

OrangeHills

Aabria going full basketball took me back to my student-athlete days when basketball was my sport. I both totally could see it, but also couldn’t handle how Aabria calls Gramore fouling out 3rd quarter is perfection.

Sky Rowan

⬅️ Witch of Whip and Collar, a very very kinky witch

Benjamin Pavey

Hakea’s that employee who hears “Thank god you’re here” every time she walks in.

mumbo

Wanna see a Witch of Waking Dreams.

S Smith

Since they've been talking about witch names and titles, I want the title Witch of the Flame Of Seers.

Daniel Stevens

Constantly amazed by the guests they get to stand in for Lou. Wyaeil. Yodah. Craig! Men of mystery men of dreams.

DaphneDawn

I've been sitting on what witch I'd wanna be for a week or so now. And I think I'd want to be Witch of the Waiting Decay. Very fungal, very deathy, rot, kind of the clean up crew to Hakea and Gramore. Lots of insect, fungus and carrion bird spirits for sure

Ryley Taylor

Witch of the Weary Wanderer is good for Eursulon

Hex Sharpe

Witch of the Wondering Mind is probably how you could fancy up Suvi's

Hex Sharpe

The Witch of Wait and See. This witch embodies patience - not only contentment in the present moment, but a *reveling* in the moment, both moments of peace and in the increasing pressure of a series of moments leading up to the grand unexpected and inevitable. It is a specialty in prescience, not knowing exactly what is to come, but knowing that it will, and expressing a special, excited cackle of “ohoohoohoo!!!” as fear and expectation mount. A specialty of the metaphysical as well as the metanarrative of fate, a specialty that brings wisdom as well as a what can become a nearly perverse joy in apprehension of revelation - but you better believe when that revelation comes it’s a biggie. This witch will wait AND she will see. When things finally pop off, she Sees It All! I like this being a thing for her in narrative arcs as tiny as words (i.e. “shiiiiiiiitake mushrooms, kekeke”) and as grand as epics. To me, it also gives her an Odin vibe, as someone who was born to be a trickster god and always has the trickster in them, but who has also done (and sacrificed) MUCH for the wisdom of Knowing, and in doing so gained a status deemed Great!

the wizard Serotinal

Witch of the Woody Haunt :)

the wizard Serotinal

How does woody haunt me even on this podcast!

TazExFire

Witch of the weary toadstool! representation of the fungi kingdom!! could be all about life and death and the natural cycle of things!

cc

Can someone @ Taylor on this, please?

Aviva

If Brennan closed us out with a prayer I would’ve died forreal

Prophet Legacy

This may be a late question, but I'm so confused about the relationship between spirits and wizards. If such a powerful person like, the Wizard Steel, have respect for the Spirits, why don't the rest of the wizards? What happened between Spirits and the "natural" that caused them to forget these literal Gods.?

Jay Clement

If I doubled my Patreon pledge could we get a special "Aabria talks sports" episode maybe quarterly? Nothing has ever more perfectly covered the intersection of my major interests and I'm so happy.

Ms. Iz

Witch of the Words Forgotten: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it"

Bloke Person

Came here to say this-of course it’s Almonds!

C

Witch of the wither and rot multiclasses as grave cleric?

Annika Kandoll

Eursolon learns through experience, Suvi learns through study, Ame learns through connection Spirit, mind, heart.

Annika Kandoll

Witch of the Wrathful Wight: witch who treats with trapped/corrupted souls/ spirits: revenants, poltergeists, corrupted spirits ( think Lord Nago from Princess Mononoke who was corrupted by rage)

Sam Berry-Sullivan

Suvi is Witch of the Wicked Smaht

K80

The timing of this release has me thinking when will Hakea pull a Joe Biden lol

Jonathan Crawshaw

Sounds like there's an opening for a Witch of Wicked Dunks

Saleibriel

Witch of the Weary and Lost: A Witch who guides those who are lost and comforts those who are overwhelmed with the tasks they bear. Witch of the Wardens watch: A Witch who keeps an eye on the ancient guardians and wards of the world and also makes sure that those given a burden of protection don't harm those they should protect. (ACAB Witch, let's fucking go!) Now some more rapid fire ones that are less thought out. Witch of the Welded Craft: Forge Witch, has a connection to all creations of metal. Witch of the Weighted Die: A gambling/cheating Witch Witch of the Wither and Rot: A Witch connected to the process of decomposition and the idea of things dieing and providing life to new things, perhaps position is passed on fairly often because of it's nature. Witch of the Ways Forgotten: A Witch connected to ancient ruins and paths that haven't been walked in living memory, perhaps collects knowledge of old traditions. Witch of Wicked Dunks: The Witch who invented the concept of Space Jam millenia ago. Any of these are free to use if people found a inspiration or spark from the ideas, I just can't sleep and thought of a bunch of them. I do request, but in no way demand, that if you're gonna use them in something to message me about your ideas though, I love hearing people gush about their nerdy passions and love hearing about people being creative <3

Gregory Turner Tompsett

Sam Berry-Sullivan

Witch of the Whimsical Talkback Podcast

Luke Hampshire

"Witch of the Wizards" welcome back James Patterson

Luke Hampshire

guys Eursolon is clearly the Witch of the Wandering Soul

Susannah Perkins

Witches' National Basketball Association confirmed?

brewnhilda

Has there been a problem uploading the new Fireside Chats to Pocket Casts? Haven't seen a new one since the chat for episode 29

M Crabtree

Hakea is basically Batman is what I’m hearing

Reebz

On it boss, im gonna do that photoshop work

Alissa Zachary

Witch of the Wrathful Storm. So chaotic!

Andrew Ziegler

Thank you Lou, or Wyale. For representing grilled cheese with mayo.

Matt Rose

With of the Winding road of the coven of the travellers, concerned with those who make their life on the road and helping those on journeys of their own 😁

M Karey-McKenna

Some witchy workshops: Witch of the Wavering Note Witch of the Wefted Word Witch of the Wishful Dreaming Witch of the Widdle Wriggly Guys And finally Witch of the Wafting Farts

Aubrae C

It’s not a coincidence because, ya know, etymology. But man. The souvenir. Great fucking title, Taylor. A French *reflexive* verb (se souvenir/Je me souviens) meaning to remember. As a noun, a thing by which to remember. And the Wizard Sky identified it *without* the reflexive indicative. Once identified, Suvi understood the music box as an apex of magical achievement by the Citadel which—wait for it—protects itself and Suvi *because* she can’t remember why she has it or wanted to perform the geas. Then shared that memory with her true friends, to protect Ame. Plus, it’s a Suvi-nir and that just tickles me.

Aviva

My pokeball would be a Stylus with the nib run down a little too low

DreadNinja

The reminder that this has been the longest day ever had me shook. What do you MEAAAAAN we’re on the same day!

Megs

Witch of the Wandering Dream. Kinda like an intersection between Wind & Stars and World's Heart, projecting their inner world into works of art. Witch with Bard-like abilities.

KidChimera

As someone with a period and a space in my last name I feel for Wyaeil. Really any time my name is input into a computer system it's a mess, but the age of standardized bubble tests were particularly harrowing

Allison S

Neeeeed the “buckets and buckets and buckets..” isolated!

OneGirlPainting

Starting Five is: 1: Ame (Point guard. Keeps the ball moving, gets everyone involved in their spots.) 2: Gramore (Shooting guard. Jumper isn't great, but fierce slashing game. Ball hog, and always in foul trouble) 3: Hakea (Small forward. Crafty Paul Pierce/Larry Bird game. Doesn't move fast, but can always get to her spot) 4: Indri (Power forward. Has a sweet jumper. Spreads the defense, but with more of a finesse game can't bang in the post) 5: Mirara (Center. Intimidating defensive presence with the unreal height and wingspan. Tends to get technical fouls for taunting.) Bench: The Fox: combo guard off the bench. His size is a problem, but he's quick and good for some steals. The Snake: Lock down defender, but turnover prone. Heinrul and Kosta are the bigs. Crow and Hawk are obviously the wings.

Aron Meinhardt

I feel like Brennan would be Witch of the Working Class.

Joe W

Witch of Whispering Willows - witch of secrets and spoken /seen things by trees (like the stars) Witch of Warp & Weft ^ like above suggested

OneGirlPainting

Shoutout to what I think was a teeny tiny cameo by the Wizard Sunny. I just realized that some infinitesimal part of my Patreon support goes toward, like, birthday presents from y’all to Sunny as your nibling and that’s just the sweetest fuckin thing.

Aviva

I really thought Brennan’s pokéball was gonna be a bag of almonds.

Aviva

I can't be the only one who thought Brennan's pokeball would be almonds XD

Leah B

witch of the working title

nathan

Now I want to see somebody defend their PHP in front of a panel

Ross G

I think I’ve cracked the case. Pitbull wasn’t always the Man in Black. He was once the Witch of the World Wide. Indri struck him down, for he was too beautiful for her vanity to stomach. Now he takes the form of the Man in Black and waits to move upon this mortal plane. After all, he doesn’t play football, but he touches down everywhere. Everywhere? Everywhere.

Embroidery Bonanza

Aabria missed an opportunity to claim Suvi would be Witch of the Will and Word

Dylan M

Now I really wanna see the Coven of Elders drawn as a basketball team. Insane fan art opportunity.

Sean Endress

Almonds for all!

Aviva

Witch of the Wicked, positive only. Retributive curses for nay saying when someone else thinks something is rad as hell.

Aviva

100% gotta play that indoors or live with the absolute certainty of undying shame.

Aviva

This is some real meta witch shit.

Aviva

👏🏽

Aviva

Hakea really said if you ain't got the fucking juice go home

Divanté Malachi

Just gonna go full hater and be Witch of the Waxing Moon

Nathan Pallotta

Woah that's amazing

lil guy

Witch of the Welcoming Pack. My passion is working with rescue dogs so being able to serve as a guardian and provide retribution for their abuse would be really dope

Thomas Hegarty

Witch of Weird Dreams could also be fun

Giant Tom Hanks

The sound effects for the cackle spell genuinely spooked me!! It was so cool. Also I'm picturing the Witch of the Wide Sea as a pirate witch and I love it. As for my witch domain, Witch of the Wayward Soul sounds pretty neat

Giant Tom Hanks

Gotta get the Witch of the Wandering Way liminal spaces travel freedom all that jazz

TrashCritical

As a fiber artist and crafter I would want to be the Witch of Warp and Weft and like the wizard secret it would be about understanding the making of things.

Samantha Bruce

Get ready for day 2 of witch con baby!

DaphneDawn

I'm not sure on the rules for posting links to other stuff, but this is how i imagine citadel mages https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTNH9E4Sf/

The Wizard Sound

Maybe Witch of the Wishing Well with the dominion over the hopes and dreams of all things

Stephen J Crim

Witch of the Wandering Seed whose dominion is anything that travels to find a new home.

Stephen J Crim

1250 on which SAT scale? (Out of 1600 or 2400)?

Alyssa Landry

I immediately thought "Witch of Mr. Worldwide" lol

Alyssa Landry

I would want to be the Witch of the Warm Bed. If cozy things like blanket forts and piles of pillows and snuggles.

Alyssa Landry

That line launched me into the stratosphere, I was done.

Karen Hainstock

I got the impression that the Witches came together because of a recognition of ability, so the reveal of the Wand, creating the seats and binding the witches together, kinda threw me for a loop. Plus if the Wand can reconstitute a seat, why hasn't Hakae done so? Clearly the center is not holding and the others can see that.

Agiddysea

... Brennan. What did you have happen to the Witch of The Waxing Moon, and why was it by Mirara's hand, directly or indirectly?

Sil

Witching Time

Patrick Fisher

Gives me uneasy feelings re. Fae/hag/ wicked witch vibes, and I love it. Ursula-esque, y'know?

Sil

How do we feel about Eursulon, witch of the Wending Way?

PocketNyx

A Witch of Wee Wonders!

Wren

I’m so sorry but ACTUALLY last time we saw combat was with Eursalon vs those monsters in the jungle

Zander Jenkins

The Witch of Wonder and Mystery would be so much fun. The awestruck vibes of novel and amazing things you sometimes get at the citadel while still retaining the soul of individual and unique things.

Jess

My breath pokeball would be a Zune mp3 player.

Sheila-la-la-la

Grimore is a ferocious Center. No easy buckets

djordan1990

I'm sorry, there is no way you're blocking Indri. If y'all go up against that Jack Skellington -sized woman on the paint, you're done. You're getting dunked on for days. And then she'll have it on instant replay in her star library.

Brandon Carbaugh

Or not, now?

Carrie Mook Bridgman

🦄

Ray

On the train into work I just had to have some fun and share with some silly ones. Witch of the Wicked (can interpret as either positive or negative) Witch of the Wide Emotions Witch of Wonder and curiosity Witch of the Weeping soul Witch of Weight and might Witch of the Wincing wound. Witch of the Weekly grind Witch of Wool and silk Witch of Wild survival Witch of the Warming harth Witch of Wives and husbands Witch of the Weird mystery Why not let's add "Witch of Wizards" So many more to play with. I am enjoying my silly ones the most

Glen Petrofski

A little too close to wonderer?

Glen Petrofski

I think this confirms that slam jamiel is the witch of Whoops And Whollers

Andy Horton

The Witch of the Winding Path should be friends with the Wizard Sonder.

Aviva

One of the Highest Truths in the world.

Aviva

The naming convention isn’t just for leadership. All citadel wizards have S names, except abjurers whose names are translations of words in dead languages which would start with an S in the original tongue. So what I’m really saying is that Care is an excellent and highly appropriate name for an abjuration specialist.

Aviva

I’d be interested in a witch whose domain is wishes. Like Witch of the Wishing Soul or something

Jayden

Coven of Elders bball comps: Gramore = Russell Westbrook (all intensity & anger) Indri = LeBron James (menacing & dominating, and time has seemingly no impact on them) Mirara = Shaq (just scary af, don't get in the way, but isn't always fully prepared at the start of the season) Hakea = Jerry West (none of this would even be here if it wasn't for them, immortal [yes I know Jerry West just died but he's the NBA logo so he'll live forever]) Ame = Tyrese Halliburton (young but tons of talent, gets everyone involved, plays with enthusiasm)... could also go with De'Aaron Fox for an obvious other reason lol

I cast Vicious Inspiration

Do all malls look the same?

Joelle A Godfrey

love to see another mayo on the grilled cheese enthusiast Wyaeil.! throw on some hot sauce and it's perfect all that said, my pokeball would prolly be a hojicha teabag

I cast Vicious Inspiration

The Last Unicorn mentioned, I'm elated

Taylor Lynott

I can't wait for Cram Daniel vol. 2!

Tommy Deibel

Hell yeah for TLU shout out!! 🦄🦄🦄

Sanja Trinki

Hell yeah! Another person from NS!

Benjamin McDonald

Fuck yeah! Another Nova Soctian!

Benjamin McDonald

So nice to see local legend Woody the Talking Christmas Tree making a Christmas in July appearance 💜😁

Amara Wiseman

woah. this is such a cool interpretation/creative guess woahhh

amoonheart

If anyone can make the coup true, the Coup Crew can do

Lilith Evenstar

Hakae being an elder statemen who might not have what is needed to meet the moment with no plan for what comes after is depressingly topical.

Agiddysea

IS THAT WOODY THE TALKING CHRISTMAS TREE, THEY PUT THAT EVIL CREATURE IN MY MALL EVERY YEAR

Ryley Taylor

Hakea is immortal Batman with 100 Jason Todds

PhillyMoe

gotta say, I thought the title was the SUVI-ren when i watched the episode and then realized i read it wrong but thought it was still sovereign all week until aabria said it at the beginning

KnockOffGrimReaper

Brennan thanked us for subscribing and being at the fireside. I GOT BRENNAN BINGO!!!

Randolph McGurrin

Lets be real...Brennan would be the Witch of Wicked Snackage.

Trintin Chick

I love when an episode starts off with a Very Important People mini-episode

Ben Hazel

massive Monstars from Space Jam vibes, let's gooooo

I cast Vicious Inspiration

Ame would probably have a vote since the coven is so focused on having odd numbers to prevent deadlocks. so there's a big chance she already has the votes!

I cast Vicious Inspiration

Suvi could be the Witch of the Winding Road!

Travis Hemker

This episode was SO drama filled. The resolution of combat in Hakea's quarters, the Mirara, and the flashback to the origin of the coven. Cannot wait to see the coven reconvene next week

Jack Monaco

So ostensibly we have Hakea (I don’t know how to spell her name) on our side to not vote against Ame, and maaaybe at a stretch Heinrul can convince Grimore to not vote against Ame, so if that happens does the coven break because they’re at a tie? Or does Ame get a vote?

Wyatt Fons

Erika is too busy doing Rook things

CommodoreBlue

I thought of this one as well - but The Whispered Song (or Story)! Written Word too... so many good ones I can't wait to find out about

Sil

I would like to request a Coven of Elders Basketball Jersey Merch please.

Tom J

I claim the Witch of Whispered Words

bluebluebutton

I'd love to see a Witch of the Wonders of small things!

Kinna Kreature

I’m waiting for that old man to drift off so I can be the Wizard Silence. If you are what you eat I’d be a Nacho Cheese Chalupa or maybe a popcorn bucket.

SmileyGuy

BROTHER EURSULON, DALE.

sylvie

The longest day of the parties life. I guess you could say theres...no rest for the Wiccan

Riley Davis

We are off to such a good start, I adore y'all.

Al

The Pokéball question is a lot harder for people than for spirits, because, as Brennan has said, spirits are kind of simple in the sense of having one essence. Even Eursulon, who is probably more complex than spirits who have not spent their lives among humans. I don't know what mine would be. The closest I have come to answering that question was choosing my namecloak. I decided I would not be (nor want to be) leadership track and so would not have an S-name. I am the Wizard Care.

Carrie Mook Bridgman

Yeah, if Hakea is immortal, *can* she pass the station on? Grandma Wren said Ame would inherit the station when Wren died. How does a witch retire?

Carrie Mook Bridgman

I bet Hakaea gave up her ability to die in order to have the wand of the coven and she’ll never get to know that peace because if she created the coven she has to ensure it keeps going

Sylvi

I was thinking "bag of almonds"

Elizabeth Boskey

Witch of Winding Wisdom because my raison d'etre these days is academic mentorship

Elizabeth Boskey

Not gonna lie I thought Brennan's pokeball would just be one single plain almond

Emily C

Witch of the Winding Path or Wandering Road. Not one I'd pick for myself, but would love to see. What I wouldn't give to see the seat of the Wide Blue Sea reinstituted, though 😭 my island continent heart would soar

Sil

Ahh! I totally thought about how they will get the wand and Ame will dub Suvi “The Witch of the Wizarding World” but I never got back around to making the joke/comment!

SmileyGuy

The Witch of Wennan Wee Wulligan

SvenTS

So ready for witchcon day 2

lil guy

Man in Black is Mr. Worldwide, CONFIRMED. WE ALL WANTED THIS DON'T YOU TELL ME YOU DIDN'T

Emmmmok

Not Lou with the saddest story for Hekeate. My heart hurts now!

Fynnch

I've always suspected that the Witches of the World's Heart would probably have... very short lifespan for what their power would grant them. Because almost everyone else ages and passes on before them. Society changes and evolves; even if these witches are forever curious and willing to evolve with it, it Got to weigh on them heavily when the community that initially shaped them dies out, and even the traces get washed away by time.

Iridium

I thought Hakaea could just never find the right one... Remember that is how one of the others was destroyed

Glen Petrofski

Half way through it relishing every moment, Lou - did you watch 'The Last Unicorn' - it featured a very chatty weeping willow :)

Sanja Trinki

Man this episode was a hoot and a holler

Jake the Cake

Shot over here to listen as soon as I got the notification. Why am I up at 5:13 am? Because I have little gremlins and no control over my life.

Cody Zimmer

the tree has a name????
