This phrase, säbʾa sägäl , refers to the three Magi in Ge'ez, with the s-g-l root relating to augury, divination, or astrology--which, like the word "Magi" itself (related to, y'know, magic) initially connoted not general wisdom but the wisdom garnered through such arts and practices. Love that.

the phrase meaning "the Magi" in a Ge'ez manuscript

Goat cradles a small gray creature in his arms, says to hamster “look at this puppy I found. I named him spike” hamster says “that’s a chupacabra. They drink goats’ blood.” Goat holds out his arms, the chupacabra hangs off by its teeth. Goat says “oh. So that’s why Spike’s so bitey.”

This spellbook (~13th c.) is great. It's got spells for invisibility, protecting travellers, predicting pregnancy, causing love and hate, and scrying in a mirror. The magician started a spell for "gathering demons," but seems to have had second thoughts and stopped after 4 words. @theul.bsky.social

Tw: sexual assault This is part of why in my grumpy old age I've realized that sex positivity is yet another toxic positivity and the real goal is sex neutrality. It also seems relevant that these communities have felt entitled to take from the world without asking to build their guys.

This is a very sweet sentiment but if you can find things that do not require milk or eggs or vegetable oil, please find it as many of those items are not available at food banks or cannot be stored by those that go to food banks!
