Claudia

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

Luccan

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)

Madeline Salter

Eusulon could be Witch of the Wandering Spirit!

Katie Z

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 😂

Oscar Swanson

Eursulon is a honey jar

DaphneDawn

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

Samrami

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!!

Patrishish

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

Danielle St John

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

Ryley Taylor

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

Shadarous

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

s

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?

Amelia Granato

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 ???

OrangeHills

Witch of willful curiousity

Sky Rowan

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.

Benjamin Pavey

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

mumbo

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

S Smith

Wanna see a Witch of Waking Dreams.

Daniel Stevens

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

DaphneDawn

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

Ryley Taylor

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

Hex Sharpe

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

the wizard Serotinal

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 :)

TazExFire

How does woody haunt me even on this podcast!

cc

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

Aviva

Can someone @ Taylor on this, please?

Prophet Legacy

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

Jay Clement

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.?

Ms. Iz

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.

Bloke Person

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

C

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

Annika Kandoll

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.

Sam Berry-Sullivan

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)

K80

Suvi is Witch of the Wicked Smaht

Jonathan Crawshaw

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

Saleibriel

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

Gregory Turner Tompsett

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

Sam Berry-Sullivan

DALE

Luke Hampshire

Witch of the Whimsical Talkback Podcast

Luke Hampshire

"Witch of the Wizards" welcome back James Patterson

Susannah Perkins

guys Eursolon is clearly the Witch of the Wandering Soul

brewnhilda

Witches' National Basketball Association confirmed?

M Crabtree

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

Reebz

Hakea is basically Batman is what I’m hearing

Alissa Zachary

On it boss, im gonna do that photoshop work

Andrew Ziegler

Witch of the Wrathful Storm. So chaotic!

Matt Rose

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

M Karey-McKenna

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 😁

Aubrae C

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

Aviva

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.

DreadNinja

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

Megs

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

KidChimera

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.

Allison S

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

OneGirlPainting

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

Aron Meinhardt

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.

Joe W

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

OneGirlPainting

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

Aviva

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.

Leah B

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

nathan

witch of the working title

Ross G

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

Embroidery Bonanza

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.

Dylan M

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

Sean Endress

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

Aviva

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

👏🏽

Divanté Malachi

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

Nathan Pallotta

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

lil guy

Woah that's amazing

Thomas Hegarty

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

Giant Tom Hanks

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

TrashCritical

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

Samantha Bruce

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.

DaphneDawn

Get ready for day 2 of witch con baby!

The Wizard Sound

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/

Stephen J Crim

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.

Alyssa Landry

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.

Karen Hainstock

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

Agiddysea

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.

Sil

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

Patrick Fisher

Witching Time

Sil

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

PocketNyx

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

Wren

A Witch of Wee Wonders!

Zander Jenkins

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

Jess

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.

Sheila-la-la-la

My breath pokeball would be a Zune mp3 player.

djordan1990

Grimore is a ferocious Center. No easy buckets

Brandon Carbaugh

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.

Carrie Mook Bridgman

Or not, now?

Ray

🦄

Glen Petrofski

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?

Andy Horton

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

Aviva

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.

Jayden

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

I cast Vicious Inspiration

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

Joelle A Godfrey

Do all malls look the same?

I cast Vicious Inspiration

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

Taylor Lynott

The Last Unicorn mentioned, I'm elated

Tommy Deibel

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

Sanja Trinki

Hell yeah for TLU shout out!! 🦄🦄🦄

Benjamin McDonald

Hell yeah! Another person from NS!

Benjamin McDonald

Fuck yeah! Another Nova Soctian!

Amara Wiseman

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

amoonheart

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

Lilith Evenstar

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

Agiddysea

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.

Ryley Taylor

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

PhillyMoe

Hakea is immortal Batman with 100 Jason Todds

KnockOffGrimReaper

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

Randolph McGurrin

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

Trintin Chick

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

Ben Hazel

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

I cast Vicious Inspiration

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!

Travis Hemker

Suvi could be the Witch of the Winding Road!

Jack Monaco

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

Wyatt Fons

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?

CommodoreBlue

Erika is too busy doing Rook things

Sil

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

Tom J

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

bluebluebutton

I claim the Witch of Whispered Words

Kinna Kreature

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

SmileyGuy

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.

sylvie

BROTHER EURSULON, DALE.

Riley Davis

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

Al

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

Carrie Mook Bridgman

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?

Sylvi

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

Elizabeth Boskey

I was thinking "bag of almonds"

Elizabeth Boskey

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

Emily C

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

Sil

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

SmileyGuy

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!

SvenTS

The Witch of Wennan Wee Wulligan

lil guy

So ready for witchcon day 2

Emmmmok

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

Fynnch

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

Iridium

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.
