This is the book of Oberon, a working sorcerers grimoire from Elizabethan England.
A main part of my practice relies on old English folk magic, Bible magic and grimoire practices that were available here. This book represents a Cunning Man’s collection of excerpts from several different grimoires that had been compiled over time and used in a kind of modular fashion, depending on what was needed that day. It is packed full of amulets, charms, conjurations and rituals which reflect a lot of what the English tradition of magic was like at the time.
While I don’t think it is possible to practice like the cunning folk did, 500 odd years ago, I do think a very functional, modern day English magic practice can be put together using components and methods from these books. In fact this is how I have worked with this stuff for many years.

Also because you all know I see Scotland in all things, I am interested in the Byron/Strange friendship not only because they are hilarious, but because there's all this stress on them being chaotic examples of the English magician and the English poet when both were partly raised in Scotland.
#Byron's fully Anglo-Scottish in my opinion idk why he's always called English when British would be a more appropriate term#He's supposed to have retained traces of a Scots accent in later life#The point is that yes they're the English magician and the English poet but also they are very much the fault of Edinburgh and Aberdeen#Actually not England's fault (entirely) for once in that country's life#jsamn#jonathan strange and mr norrell#Jonathan Strange

DO NOT GET DISTRACTED
#i know i know im currently jsamn pilled or whatever#but im so fascinated by the story changes that would happen with genderswapped jsamn#like the biggest one would be...how the hell would norrell reconcile making english magic respectable#with also her need to be The Magician whilst also being a woman?#like i cannot imagine her even as a woman considering female magicians as respectable#esp if we also genderswap john uskglass and have her be the raven queen like could you imagine the propaganda against old magic twice over#female strange would be just as much of a chaotic talented whirlwind except every time someone says 'you cant do that youre a woman'#she is a) astonished to remember 'oh yeah i guess' and then b) proceeds to be disgruntled and then c) decides not to give a fuck about it#female childermass would still smoke her pipe ans do her sneaking but probs disguised as a man#which norrell hates but is willing to ignore as long as she comes into the house in skirts#male emma would probs take the place of walter pole in the sense#that he would still be sickly and die and be bargained#but norrell would use the resurrection as a trade for his support for magic etc#i guess female stephen would be female walters ladys maid but i cant see anyone taking her condition any more serious as a woman#it wouls probs be worse tbh#but also she would have the frustration of knowing how to sort out a house and accounts etc but not having the authority to do it#which the lady with the thistledown hair would try to fix for her obvs#thistle would be exactly the same except probs a misandrist haha#BUT. i cannot get distracted by this#i must laser focus on the other fic#this is how fic orphans are created

A few illustrations for a from a 2m long vertical accordion book about The Two Magicians, an English ballad slightly altered for the 21st century (because I wanted specifically the Young Tradition's version but it was horrible)
Linocut print and digital composition.
(Also sent these to the only living YT member and she replied to my email saying she liked them!!)

my favourite trope in media is when a character that has a character arc ending for him and a big change in his life upcoming, goes teaching his subject of passion

general elections are coming up and farage is getting milkshakes thrown on him again, happy pride 🥰
#usually i'm not patriotic whatsoever because i have a terminal case of the english#but lobbing drinks at shitcunts? makes me proud 🙏🏻#also the time that magician suspended himself in an acrylic box over the thames and someone flew a fry up around it using a drone#or the time a guy decided to fight back during a knife attack in london with a fucking narwhal tusk#those sorts of people deserve a lifetime pass to the toby carvery of their choice

Rayman Head Canons: Voice Claims Part 2
So a little note before we begin, Rayman Retold had a few faces that were introduced in Rayman 2. I found out that The Great Escape (PS1) and Rayman Revolution (PS2) versions had completely different types of voice acting when it came to the English dubbing. A few of the credited voices had "Rayman 2," but not really anything specific. I'll have to rely on clips and I might not have much info on the voice actors in question.
-----------------------------------------------
Admiral Razorbeard:
I've changed the voice claim from when this post was first made. As much as I loved the previous one, I decided to go back to giving Admiral Razorbeard the voice he had in Rayman Revolution.
Razorbeard was going to be another major villain within the Rayman Retold Project I was working on. Despite his defeat, he was going to return sometime down the line alongside his wife.
youtube
-----------------------------------------------
Jano, The first Nightmare:
Jano actually has 2 voice claims: One when he speaks English, and one that is his native Nightmarish tongue.
For his English lines, I did research and my results were pretty empty. considering Jano actually had 2 English voice actors that depended on which version of Rayman 2 you played and they were VERY different voice portrayals.
Here's the differences between the Rayman 2 playstation games with Jano's English voice:
youtube
When Jano speaks English, it's the voice he had within Rayman Revolution, or the PS2 version. It's the language you hear him use the most when he's communicating with members of the glade that enter his lair.
Within Rayman Retold, his native tongue is a language only used by creatures of nightmare origin. It's mostly referred to as “Nightmarish” but doesn’t actually have an official name. for Jano, its the “Raymanese” voice sound effect he had from Rayman 2.
You don't normally hear Jano pulling the nightmarish language and the voice that goes with it unless he is in a fit of rage, or he’s attempting to corrupt those into his puppets.
youtube
-----------------------------------------------
Princess Barbara:
Ruth Connell. She was the voice for Princess Merida in video games and Sofia the First.
youtube
-----------------------------------------------
Ales Mansay the Teensie Magician
Jess Harnell.
I blame this on when I was shown scenes from Sophia the First, and when I was picking up Ales' Pig Latin voice lines from Origin one night. I couldn't unhear this since, and now I portray Ales with the same vibes and personality as Cedric.
youtube
#Rayman#Rayman Retold#Rayman Head Canons#Voice Claims#Admiral Razorbeard#Jano#Jano the First Nightmare#Princess Barbara#Ales Mansay#The Teensie Magician#I removed some info from Jano's section that will appear in a different head canon post later.#I also removed the really long unneeded story for Barbara's. So it's much shorter#Now Includes Ales Mansay!#Rayman 2 had some pretty inconsistent voice acting for a few of the characters#Like I'm not even sure if some of them were voiced by the same person that were originally credited#Rayman's the only one that I could tell was always voiced by David Gasman with his English lines#Youtube

i'm ngl, this archon quest is REALLY GOOD but also it's singlehandedly making me want to prioritize venti over wriothesley on the next banners... like. wrio looks really fucking cool and would be a great addition to my "aesthetically pleasing genshin men" collection, buuuuuut i already have the whole magician trio, and i think i'd feel kind of bad about making them share account space with the person who just horribly traumatized lyney... TvT
#4.1 spoilers#tre plays#genshin impact#and like. yeah; i get it#wriothesley was just defending his home turf against people who were trying to disrupt his business#/i get it/#but also#i love the magician trio#and hhhhhhh that was so incredibly stressful watching lyney freak out like that i feel so bad for him TTvTT#also major props to freminet's english va honestly#“i can't... die here...” SCARED ME SO BAD???? LIKE I ALREADY KNEW HE WAS GONNA SURVIVE#BUT THE DELIVERY OF THAT LINE IN PARTICULAR WAS HEARTBREAKING????????????#uuuuuuuuuuuggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh i just want them all to be SAFE and HAPPY and FINE GODDAMMIT TTwTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

There are three types of magical cookies in Tongari Boushi to Mahou no Machi. Love cookies, which you give to a character of the opposite gender to create a romantic atmosphere. Happy cookies, which create... well, a happy atmosphere! And then there are friendly cookies, which help create a fun and friendly atmosphere. Here my character is with Bitter sharing some love cookies, Suzu/Suzy sharing some happy cookies, and Melorin sharing some friendly cookies!
#Magician's Quest#Tongari Boushi to Maho no Machi#Suzu is the Japanese name while Suzy is her name in the translated version!#the other two characters weren't in the English released games so they only have the Japanese names
