“For the first time since coming to Ravenswood, I felt connected to the true spirit of the place. It may be shadowed in power and heavy with legacy, but at its core was the pure exhilaration of being true to one’s self.
Gwyneth reached over and clasped my hand in hers. “Never forget the feeling of being aligned with your purpose. It will steer you through Shadow and illuminate your path no matter where it leads.”
-THE BLACK BIRD ORACLE

It is time to come home to the All Souls Series. Have you read THE BLACK BIRD ORACLE yet?

“I’ll find a way to be with you in the darkness, I promise. And when you think the whole world has abandoned you, I’ll be there, holding your hand.”
“How could it be otherwise,” Philippe said gently, “when you are in my heart?”
-SHADOW OF NIGHT

Reminder:
The read along for SHADOW OF NIGHT starts Monday, Nov 11 here on Deborah Harkness and also in the All Souls Discussion Group-on Facebook and on instagram ().

The events in SHADOW OF NIGHT take place over a period of 8 months, starting in November and ending in July. This is a little unwieldy for real time read; so we will be doing a read-along for Shadow of Night this year.

As you can see by the attached calendar, we will be discussing 3 chapters every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from Nov 11th-Dec 11th. I hope you will join us.

Is SHADOW OF NIGHT your favorite book in the All Souls Series?
Are you ready for the read along?

🪟 Window Wednesday 🪟

Every month we join the All Souls Discussion Group by inviting you to share a "window" into your lives - to share a bit of yourselves and the things that bring you love, joy, and peace.

We ask that you post a picture from the view from your "window" and say hi from your corner of the world. It does not have to be taken through your actual window, but something from your world that brings you joy. You do not need to provide an explanation or context, just the city, region, state or country the photo was taken in.

Sending all of you so much love this morning from my little corner of PA.

Wishing you all peace and joy on this lovely Wednesday.

Praying for all affected by Helene and all of Florida as Milton makes its way toward land. I have no words.

🎉HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIANA BISHOP🎉

“The tenth knot burned on my wrist. I turned over my hand and looked at its writhing shape. “That’s why I can tie the tenth knot,” I said, understanding for the first time where the power came from. “I can create because my father was a weaver, and I can destroy because my mother had the talent for higher, darker magics.”
“A union of opposites,” Matthew said. “Your parents were an alchemical wedding, too. One that produced a marvelous child.”
-The Book of Life

When Teresa Palmer was asked for one word that describes Diana, she came up with: empowered.
What word or words would you use to describe Diana?

“Once the world was full of wonders but it belongs to humans now. We creatures have all but disappeared. Daemons, vampires, and witches hiding in plain sight, fearful of discovery- ill at ease even with each other. But as my father used to say – in every ending there is a new beginning.”
-Deborah Harkness
-Season 1 of A Discovery of Witches

All 3 seasons of A Discovery of Witches are coming to Netflix on Aug 19th. (in the US)

Spread the word.
Who is ready for a rewatch?
Who is having a watch party?

🍫 Today is World Chocolate Day 🍫

Are you a fan of chocolate? Do you like milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate or do you like it bitter like Matthew?

What is your favorite brand of chocolate? Do you like the
expensive brands or will any chocolate do?

This is making me hungry-pardon me while I go eat some Reese's peanut butter cups-because nothing is better than chocolate and peanut butter.
