There comes a time where many of us get bored of the plain old witchcraft 101 books, leaving us unsure of what to study next. I highly recommend looking outside of witchy/pagan materials from time to time. Understanding the science and fundamentals of your favorite subjects can add some depth to your practice. Below are a few links to get you started.

I love when the witchy people of tumblr share their knowledge by creating incredibly useful masterposts of information. I made this “masterpost of masterposts” to act as a running directory of such resources. If you see any errors (such as credit or misinformation) please contact me and I will make any necessary changes.

female draco is cc babcock
if you’re open to a doodle suggestion while doing your challenge, would you grace us once more with sapphic Drarry?
I’m obsessed with their designs 😩💕 Also curious what type of outfits they’d each rock (not gonna lie I 100% bet that Harry would still dress similarly to her male counterpart).
SAY LESS
I definitely agree!! I don't think there'd be much of difference for Harry. I imagine she still grew up with Dudley's (even more oversized now) hand-me-downs and would probably feel very awkward in super feminine clothes. I think she'd still prioritized comfort over style and lean into masc looks when older too. (Like baggy jeans, sweaters & hoodies, oversized t-shirts/ plaid shirts/ jackets, sneakers)
As for Draco, I don't think she'd be all that different either. I feel like during Hogwarts she'd still want to emulate Lucius, albeit maybe more willing to flaunt her status through high-quality clothing and jewelry. Post-war though I can see her adopting more of Narcissa's simple but refined style combined with formal mugglewear. (Lots of blouses and blazers and heeled boots for sureee)
i hate apocalypse things but i always am sat for my gfs rants about the walking dead, tlou, etc. she isnt a fan of theatre but she always listens to me sing and play my fav musicals.
to see her smile and eyes shine as she speaks at such a fast pace abt her passions,, ugh it's so cute 💕
What's more attractive than a partner who "lets you" infodump to them?
One who asks to be infodumped to. One who tries their very hardest to involve themselves in the fixations you're neurotic about.
Nothing says ~I love you~ like having your hobbies taken seriously 💛
