Something something Decepticon recruitment (+physical exam) yada yada putting my Malay twins headcanon to good use and making names (and a non-typical matrilineal last name as opposed to a patrilineal last name) for them :P

Old fanfiction as well as echo chambering myself I have got some headcanons in my mind that do not make surface level sense but have Syakir and Darwesh bin Kalsom!

Ketubah (Jewish marriage contract), Isfahan Province, Iran, 1859

This is a finely painted example of Persian Ketubot with peacocks flanking a central tree and the flowers and birds rendered in careful detail. The wedding took place on October 25, 1859 between Moses, son of Abraham and Rachel, daughter of Jacob.

My friend introduced me to the concept of witchcraft as prayer and mindfulness, and as someone who no longer engages in organized religion but still believes in a lot of the basic tenants I grew up with, I’m feeling pretty interested in learning more, specifically from a spiritual/cultural lore and history perspective. I’m looking for information related to cultures I’m descended from and/or grew up around:

Mexican folk magic (brujería)

Welsh and/or Germanic

Persian/Iranian

Appreciate any help finding resources!
