He was her desire made real 😭🖤
"Magic is desire made real."
I'll never not be obsessed with how Diana grew into her powers while being in the past
It was the whole point, yes, but I don't think she ever grasped the idea of the power she would have
A weaver that had all of the elements, able to make the tenth knot when others had failed
The whole world was now in her hands. She could easily destroy anything she wanted
Having to carry the arrows for the goddess and finding justice (book lore more than the show because this is not explained)
So many things
I could write about the show and books for hours
There is an ancient prophesy. It tells of a witch who would change the destiny of all creatures. Some believe that this fearsome witch will alter our understanding of life itself. I believe you are power indeed.
A Discovery of Witches, 2.06.
(Just in case you needed some kawaii vamps in your feed). 🧛🖤

I was out and about yesterday and found a well-loved copy of ‘A Discovery of Witches’ in the local train station book swap.
⬆️ A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness (p175)
Part of me wanted to leave it for someone else to discover the absolute magic (literal and figurative) of it; part of me was delighted with the connective sign from the universe and part of me grabbed it with both hands as I’ve lent my copy out and am really missing it. I delved into it straight away and got wonderfully lost for the entire train journey.
To celebrate, I edited together a little extract (p175), just for fun, which tries to capture the delectable sensory overload to be found in the writing and the show itself. Can’t really put into words how much I love it.
