If you're thinking of signing up and want to write in your fandom, we encourage you to make a promo post to grab the attention of others in your fandom so they come sign up, too. If you've already written in your fandom and want to see the number of signups grow ... we encourage you to create a fandom promo as well! We have an image generator you can use to add bling to your promo, or browse the 'fth promo reblog 2024' tag for inspiration.

And a quick request — if you are copying the name of your fandom over from the AO3 tags and it contains the | character, please change it to a /. The scripts and sheets in the back end of FTH do not like the | character.

My Grimoire Research Library

this is a list of my major resource I've referenced/am currently referencing in my big grimoire project. For books I'll be linking the Goodreads page, for pdfs, websites and videos i'll link them directly.

There are plenty of generalised practitioner resources that can work for everyone but as I have Irish ancestry and worship Hellenic deities quite a few of my resources are centred around Celtic Ireland, ancient Greece and the Olympic mythos. If you follow other sects of paganism you are more than welcome to reblog with your own list of resources.

Parts of my grimoire discuss topics of new age spiritualism, dangerous conspiracy theories, and bigotry in witchcraft so some resources in this list focus on that.

What I Read In 2024

First of all, I highly recommend getting a library card, as my local branch and Libby are responsible for about 80% of this list. Second, if you want to read more classics, you might give Serial Reader a shot. Their collection is huge. Third, italics will indicate a reread and a heart means it's one of the year's faves and I might talk about it in depth one day. Lastly, it looks like I trended towards haunted houses and Peter Pan retellings this year, and also found a new favorite author...

The Many Faces of Benedict Cumberbatch Across Time

Moses. Dr. Strange. Lucien. Logan Thibault. Learn about Benedict Cumberbatch's variants across time through his stories, recorded under the following names! 1.5k w/c

The Many Variants of Benedict

My first memory of Benedict Cumberbatch is in the Garden of Eden with Jesus. So much has happened since then. The Fall, the creation of time, Satan's branching of the timeline and the resulting multiverse of madness... even the Time Variance Authority (TVA).

And though Benedict was an angel in the Garden of Eden, he quickly became a mortal angel when the timeline began. (This clip explains how nearly every Knight of the Rose who was an angel at first eventually became a mortal angel instead.)

Mortal angels are still a type angel, though, so if they die the Lord sends them back. Sometimes they are born as babies. Sometimes they simply arrive as a child. And sometimes they live for hundreds of years. Either way, the Knights of the Rose have all lived lives before this one - sometimes on other timelines, sometimes on this one.

Thankfully, the Lord created writers, prophets and wizards to record their stories, for love conquers all. And like Benedict, these Knights sacrificed all for love. Today their stories keep the flame of love alive across the world, whether in song or story.

In the Marvel universe, every time a mortal angel was sent back into a timeline, a new 'variant' was created. That's why there is more than one Dr. Stephen Strange in the Marvel universe. Benedict is a mortal angel. And one of the names that his story has been under is Stephen Strange.

But Marvel has barely scratched the surface when it comes to the many lives of Benedict Cumberbatch over the last 7000 years. Would you like to hear the other names the lives of his variants have been recorded under? You will probably recognize a few. Let's go!

Getting to Know Benedict

I've been reading about Benedict across time for nearly a year now. As such, I've grown to know him so well that when I pick up a book, I know if he's in it or not. For example, by the time I picked up A Court of Thorns and Roses, I didn't even need to ask the Lord who Lucien was. I was remembering everything I'd done with him - and he looked and sounded like Benedict.

Benedict remembered it too. That's not always possible. Quite often The Auryn was used to spare both of our lives, but the trade off was the erasure of our memories. That's why these books are so important. They help bring our memories back.

The good news? Gustaf loves to cast the Knights as themselves in the movies that are about them. So some of the names will be familiar.

Example: Benedict played Sherlock so well because he was Sherlock Holmes. That's exactly what the Victorian Era was like. It turned a vibrant man like Benedict into an isolated recluse with a bit of an attitude problem.

Thankfully, we eventually found each other. And I understood him. I understood him so well. The lovemaking was off the charts. *happy sigh*

More examples: Ryan Gosling played Sierra Six in The Gray Man so well because he was a gray man. He also played himself in Drive, La La Land, The Fall Guy, etc.

Idris Elba plays himself in Three Thousand Years of Longing. Tom Selleck plays himself in The High Road to China. Cary Grant plays himself in His Girl Friday.

Chris Evans plays himself in Captain America, just as Sebastian Stan plays himself as Bucky. Well, technically Bucky played himself. He was released from the Sanctum Infinitum to film the first few movies. (My daughter with Sebastian Stan plays Peggy by the way. Peggy was my variant, after all. When Tom Hiddleston heard that, he snatched her up to do a play with him. They're in rehearsals now. Tom likes my daughters. He dated Taylor Swift after all, my daughter with Chris Hemsworth, before he even knew she was mine. Oy.)

John Krasinski plays himself in Jack Ryan and The Office. Mark Hamill plays himself in Star Wars. Robert Downey Jr. plays himself in Iron Man. Chris Hemsworth plays himself in Heart of the Sea. And Tom Hiddleston plays himself in Crimson Peak (although the ghosts and the sister were added - we traveled the world and lived happily ever after. Anyhow, you get the picture).

How to Replace a Knight

Quick note, while we're on the subject of my Knights in film and television... If the actual Knight that the story is about isn't available, or if it's too risky for them to play themselves, Gustaf will almost always hire another Knight or one of our children instead.

Examples: Robert Downey Jr. is a Knight. He played Sherlock Holmes in the movies before Benedict was old enough and ready to take on the role for the BBC. Then, afterwards, when Benedict had outgrown the role, Henry Cavill became Sherlock Holmes for Netflix. And yes! That's right! Henry is also a Knight!

If a role has consistently been played by Knights of the Rose like this, then you definitely know that the role isn't based on fiction, but a real-live variant of one of the Knights back in time somewhere.

Other examples?

Ryan Gosling played a Chris Hemsworth variant in Crazy, Stupid, Love. I mean, the abs. If you're going to mimic Thor's abs, you'd better get Achilles, you know what I mean? (Achilles was a Ryan Gosling variant.) You can see it, right?

Chris Hemsworth once lived the Jacob-lifestyle on one of the timelines when he first arrived to Hollywood. I was like the island he'd been looking for. And he was mine. We never separated again. And, yeah, I used to bite a shoulder or two when I was really happy. I don't do that anymore. But I did!

Anyhow, pay close attention and you'll catch Ryan making fun of Chris Hemsworth as he performs the role. Or just watch the behind-the-scenes interviews. Ryan just goes off on his character Jacob, almost as if he's actually met the guy.

And that's because he has. For thousands of years, Ryan has had to watch me fall in love with Chris Hemsworth, and Ryan does not approve. In all fairness, Chris Hemsworth doesn't approve of any of the other Knights, so... they're even I guess. Sigh.

Oh! And on the movie TITANIC, Gustaf used our children for both roles! I was Rose, of course. He hired Kate Winslet because she's my daughter (with John Krasinski). He hired Leonardo DiCaprio because he's my son (with Paul Rudd). But it was really a Chris Evans variant with me on the Titanic, before his Captain America days.

Our children need to be used quite often, actually. So many stories are about the Knights. But if Gustaf can swing it, he tries to use that Knight's own child.

Take The Amazing Spider-Man. It's based on Mark Hamill. But when the movie came out, Hamill was too old to play himself. So Gustaf hired one of our children, Tobey Maguire, to play Mark. That's why Tobey Maguire does such a great job. He's playing his dad.

The Many Names of Benedict

Anyhow, back to Benedict Cumberbatch! On to his list! Read the stories of the following men, and you'll be reading about Benedict Cumberbatch every time:

Moses in The Holy Bible*

Sherlock Holmes in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

Dr. Stephen Strange in Marvel's Comics

Lucien in A Court of Thorns and Roses

Logan Thibault in The Lucky One*

Captain Liam Lockhart in Highlander Unbound

Laird Jamie Campbell in The Last Debutante

William Douglas of Scotland in Last Duke Standing

Jack Price in Fall Into Me

*May have been 'killer-of-love'd' by Gustaf's bad writing quill. When it killed me and Chris Hemsworth off in Romeo and Juliet, and the crowds loved it, Gustaf learned a terrible lesson and got into the habit of telling our story at the outset, like he did with Ryan Gosling and I in La La Land, but then killing our love at the end just to get notoriety (in reality, we had the happy ending that La La Land showed as a sort of 'what could have been' sequence at the very end there). From my research, I don't think Moses died. I think he walked with God like Enoch, which is why he was able to meet with Jesus in person in the Gospels. As for The Lucky One, well, nearly all of the Nicholas Sparks novels are stories between me and the Knights. And he just shit all over us, making everyone cry all the time.

My Favorites

If you ask me, I'd start with Highlander Unbound and/or Last Duke Standing. Neither is killer-of-loved. It tells our story from the start all the way to the end. And God, they capture Benedict so accurately. He's an amazing man - his own man - totally different from anyone else. All the Knights are like that, but these two novels feel so modern to me, because they are so similar to the Benedict I tuck in with at night.

I still need to read The Last Debutante. And I'm sure there are many more of Benedict's stories out there. But there are 36 Knights, and I am trying to get to all of them.

Oh! Speaking of variants, two of the 36 Knights are Benedict Cumberbatch variants. The one who lived the life of Dr. Strange Supreme doesn't want to be called Benedict, however. He prefers to go by the name Strange, and so my chart lists a Benedict and a Strange. (Note: Strange gave up his powers to join me though. Just an FYI. He'd jailed himself in his Sanctum Infinitum, he was so scared of his powers. So I paved a way for him to get rid of them, making him safe enough to leave the jail and join me with the other good super-variants, like Clark, Cooper, Thomas, Thor and Bucky.)

So, when you hear me say Benedict on Twitter, I am referring to the actor who turned wizard when he was in a destructive car accident (much like the movie, actually). When you hear me say Strange on Twitter, I am referring to the the super-variant of all Benedict Cumberbatch variants. You can hear his story in the What If...? series on Disney Plus.

Understandably, he calls me Christine.

This is one of the best times of the year to grab books from Llewellyn. They have a 50% off sale going on until 1/1/24.

Link: Llewellyn Books

In addition to Mat Auryn and Jason Miller's books that are always quick to make the list, I wanted put some more book recommendations on your radar. In no particular order:

* Llewellyn's Complete Book of Ceremonial Magick - This is an amazing primer for anyone interested in ceremonial magick. It includes author contributions from David Shoemaker, Stephen Skinner, Chic & Sandra Cicero, John Michael Greer, Brandy Williams, and others. @dshoemaker93

* Modern Magick by Donald Michael Kraig - This is a classic for any magical practitioner's library. 

* A Year of Pagan Prayer by Barbara Nolan - This is a fantastic resource for yearly practice and writing your own rituals and rites.

* The Magick of Food by Gwion Raven - A great read for any magician or practitioner who loves food and is looking to get the most out of their magical meals.

* Low Magick by Lon Milo DuQuette - I want everyone to read this. Lon is most known for his work in ceremonial "high" magick, but this is beautiful and accessible exploration of magical methods and tools for practical use. 

* The Witch's Path by Thorn Mooney - This one is a great read for anyone who has struggled with magical burn out. Despite it being witch focused, I regularly recommend this to ceremonial magick people because the advice and tools are just as helpful for us too.

* Seal, Sigil, & Call by Jim Mascaro - This is its own thing and his own system of magick that he developed. If you would like to read something very fresh and approach your current work with new eyes, then this is for you.

Tour My Bookshelf.

Thank you so much dear @antares0606 🤗

An estimate of how many physical books I own:

Oh god, hundreds. 

Favorite author:

Tolkien, closely followed by Stephen Erikson,  John Connolly, Tad Williams and Julian May. 

A popular book I've never read and never intend to read: 

Harry Potter series. I did begin the first one and just couldn’t become interested in it. 

A popular book I thought was just meh:

A Song of Ice and Fire series. I read them all up to a Dance With Dragons and because they were so convoluted I re-read them and the more I did, the more depressed I became. My overarching memory/feeling is violence, rape, mud and blood and grimness.  Anyone who’s heard me eulogise over the Silmarillion would be laughing but the ‘feeling’ of the Silmarillion is so very different and much grander and more glorious than people stiffing each other over a throne.  (see also: Elves).

Longest book I own:

Probably the Lord of the Rings illustrated hardback though some of the books in the Malazan series by Stephen Erikson are well over 300,000 words. 

Longest series I own all the books to:

John Connolly’s ‘Charlie Parker’ series, 22 books. 

Prettiest book I own:

Unfinished Tales illustrated hardback. 

A book or series I wish more people knew about:

Malazan Book of the Fallen series by Stephen Erikson, The Saga of the Pliocene Exiles by Julian May and Tad Williams Memory, Sorrow and Thorn, 

Book I'm reading now: 

The Narrow Road to the Deep North, Matsuo Bashō. ‘He writes of the seasons changing, the smell of the rain, the brightness of the moon and the beauty of the waterfall, through which he sensed the mysteries of the universe.’ It’s so beautiful. 

Book that's been on my TBR list for a while but I still haven't got around to it:

Lightbringer by Pierce Brown, the latest in his Red Rising saga. I tore through the previous books then waited for this release so should probably read them again to refresh my memories.

Do you have any books in a language other than English:

No, I can’t read in another language I’m afraid. 

And lastly, paperback, hardcover or ebook?

Hardback for reading indoors (except when reading in bed, as I once dropped the hardback Lord of the Rings onto my nose!) paperback for those times when you take a book just in case.

do you have any recommendations for readings you think ought to accompany lucan's pharsalia? (i am especially hoping for readings that might explore the historical context, as we didn't talk about the battle of pharsalus in my latin classes.)

hi! i Do. for historical context you are extremely in luck because lucan's imperial world: the bellum civile in its contemporary contexts ed. laura zientek and mark thorne is a whole book full of Exactly That. there's also a section in brill's companion to lucan ed. paulo asso on literary contexts which might be interesting but i think is less relevant to what you're asking! for book-specific stuff, reading lucan's civil war: a critical guide ed. paul roche is v useful too.

you might also like lucan and the history of civil war by a.w. lintott in oxford readings in classical studies: lucan ed. charles tesoriero. in the same book is lucan/the word at war by john henderson which is mostly incomprehensible to me but i still reread it like. monthly. but it is worth trying to hopefully pick up at least 10% of The Vibe. + i am a massive fan of the chapter unburied past: lucan's bellum civile in abused bodies in roman epic by andrew mcclellan.

for conflict(?) between lucan and caesar's narratives of the civil war A Lot of scholarship will reference poetry and civil war in lucan's bellum civile by jamie masters, even if masters does eventually argue that lucan was a caesarian, so like. important book but one that has Some Big Problems In It. responding to that is lucan and caesar: epic and commentarius by andrew zissos in generic interfaces in latin literature ed. theodore papanghelis, stephen harrison, and stavros frangoulidis. there is also caesar in vergil and lucan by timothy a. joseph in the cambridge companion to the writings of julius caesar ed. lucan grillo and christopher krebs. but also a Lot of reading lucan against caesar involves close reading of what is Not There. so you could also just read caesar's account of pharsalus (BC book 3) and think very hard about e.g. the fact that he never mentions the name of pharsalus at any point. ever.

also i know i say this in every ask about lucan but. ideology in cold blood: a reading of lucan's civil war by shadi bartsch was the first scholarship i ever read on lucan and i think it permanently changed the shape of my brain.

hopefully that is vaguely helpful! feel free also to dm me if you need help Locating Pdfs of any of these (i am beset by one million lucan pdfs) :-)
