Fireside Chat for WWW ep31 "The Souvenir"

Woody the Christmas tree from Halifax Nova Scotia!?!!?!

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

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)

I'll be the Witch of Waxing Floors, I facilitate Janitors and the Spirit World I am not a janitor so itll be a little tough but I don't want too much on my plate ya know

My answer for the what station I would be actually is what I propose for Niff when they eventually try to bring her in. The Witch of the Winding Road, or The Witch of the Wandering Paths. The have expressed how important roads are so I think it would be wise to have one overseeing them

The question about what witch you would be inspired my name change for this profile

Philosophy lecturer here LOVING having a logician on the pod

I consider a Witch of the Worms and Rot presiding over death and passing. I specifically delight at the thought of a carrion-feeder familiar, like a vulture, hyena, or komodo dragon.

Eusulon could be Witch of the Wandering Spirit!

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 😂

Eursulon is a honey jar

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

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!!

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

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

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

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?

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 ???

Witch of willful curiousity

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.

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

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

Wanna see a Witch of Waking Dreams.

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

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

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

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!

How does woody haunt me even on this podcast!

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

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

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.?

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.

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

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

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)

Suvi is Witch of the Wicked Smaht

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

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

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

DALE

Witch of the Whimsical Talkback Podcast

"Witch of the Wizards" welcome back James Patterson

guys Eursolon is clearly the Witch of the Wandering Soul

Witches' National Basketball Association confirmed?

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

Hakea is basically Batman is what I’m hearing

On it boss, im gonna do that photoshop work

Witch of the Wrathful Storm. So chaotic!

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

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 😁

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

witch of the working title

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Get ready for day 2 of witch con baby!

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/

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

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

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

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

Witching Time

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

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

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.

My breath pokeball would be a Zune mp3 player.

Grimore is a ferocious Center. No easy buckets

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.

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

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

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

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

Do all malls look the same?

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

The Last Unicorn mentioned, I'm elated

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

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

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

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

Hakea is immortal Batman with 100 Jason Todds

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

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

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

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

Suvi could be the Witch of the Winding Road!

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

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?

Erika is too busy doing Rook things

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

I claim the Witch of Whispered Words

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

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.

BROTHER EURSULON, DALE.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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!

The Witch of Wennan Wee Wulligan

So ready for witchcon day 2

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

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

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.

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

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

Man this episode was a hoot and a holler

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.

I HAVENT LISTEND YET BUT WHAT IS WOODY DOING HERE????????

I CAAAAAAANT AAAAAAAA

Woohoo
