Description: Join us as we meet the wise Goody Alsop. She reveals the whole story behind Diana Bishop’s erratic powers to her, Matthew Clairmont (Roydon/de Clermont . . . etc.), Susanna Norman, and to us! After careful negotiation, and some protestation from both Susanna and Matthew, Goody Alsop agrees to be Diana’s teacher, no matter […]

Description: The reader, like the collective heap of vampire and witch, is splashed into 1590, and it seems the temperature not as quite as comfortable as we had hoped! In this episode, we explore the first two chapters of our favorite book in this series, Shadow of Night. We find that Matthew Clairmont’s past is […]

We are so fortunate to have a wide swath of of followers and friends who are fans of the All Souls universe!  Today’s post is from Ann, our guest blogger today, who was so gracious to share her adventures with us.  There are a LOT of pictures, so we will show some here on this […]

Description: Time to talk about Diana’s people!  The Witches!  In A Discovery of Witches, witches either fell into the category spell-casters, or elemental witches.  Turns out there were more types of witches (weavers!), as there are many types in the ‘realm’ we live in.  We discuss the pagan practices that Deborah Harkness may have drawn […]

He was, quite simply, the most breathtaking creature I had ever seen—Shadow of Night Description: Philippe de Clermont doesn’t suffer fools lightly. Right now, he’s got a couple of fools to deal with in his own house: Diana and Matthew … yeah, we said it! We play the empathy game, put ourselves in Philippe’s shoes, […]

Is this graphic kind of cheesy to you? Good. We nailed it! We didn’t host a Valentine’s giveaway last year, because 2020 was kind of “meh.” This year is different! We’re feeling quite ROMANTIC this year! It could have something to do with the romance coming up on A Discovery of Witches Season 2! That’s […]

Off we go . . . Description: As we make the long hard journey to France (while “roughing” it), Diana receives a lot of advice along the way on how to manage Philippe. Matthew’s advice sort of fell flat for us, because he’s still the difficult stubborn vampire we’ve all come to know and love. […]

As we journey to this ending, we must remember that there are still new beginnings! Description: Jean calls this episode a prologue to Season 3, and it is, but it does manage to tie up Season 2 sufficiently enough for us. We say goodbye to Goody, the coven, Susanna, Father Hubbard, Pierre, Françoise, Jack (😢), […]

Glitz and glam for the holidays? Yes, but this year there is a twist! We are going to gift like Phoebe! This year has gone fast! As we find ourselves firmly in the holiday season, it’s time for our annual holiday giveaway! We are taking a page out of Phoebe’s book; we are going to […]

She has designed the All Souls Con 2019 attendee badge this year. Yay!! Karin is offering this lovely […]

Description: The day in/day out of Emperor Rudolf’s Prague is wearing on us, however we couldn’t have asked for a more satisfactory “goodbye” than this chapter! There’s drama (school play), there’s romance (in Rudolf’s mind!), and there’s action (the great escape!). Oh and of course, we finally get our sights on the missing book, Ashmole […]

Description: The dreaded (well, we dreaded it!) episode on alchemy!  What an intimidating topic!  We do a very (very, very, very) basic overview on alchemy in this episode.  We did it with the help of a beginner’s book on alchemy and a bunch of Google searches for different sources.  The end result?  Surprise!  You’ve been […]

It’s time for Ysabeau to check the papers. This is photoshopped, people. We looked for an article and could not find one! Description: Well, it seems we made it to 2010 even before Diana and Matthew did! We see what Marcus, Ysabeau and Sarah are all up to, and get a few revelations that will […]
