Mark your calendars, our annual real time read of A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES starts September 18th.

This year we will be focusing on Easter Eggs and Rabbit Holes that we find throughout the book.
“Easter Eggs. These are little historical treasures I planted in the books that open up rabbit holes of research possibility and interpretation.”
-Deb

Fun Fact: In the book, the action on Chapter 1 also took place on a Friday. That means that this year, the days of the week for the RTR fall on the same days of the week as in the book.

FAQ’s
Question: What is a real time read and how does it work?
Answer: The action of A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES takes place over the course of 40 days, from September 18th through November 1st. We will be reading each chapter on the day it actually happens.. Some days have more than one chapter, and others have none at all, but it's interesting to read it and have just as much time as Diana and Matthew did to absorb the enormous changes happening to them, and all around them.
There is no link or live reading. You will be reading each day’s chapter(s) on your own, when you have time in your day. The discussion takes place on Deborah Harkness's author page and in the All Souls Discussion Group on facebook and here @DebHarkness and @AllSoulsDG on Instagram.

Question: Is there a calendar for this real time read?
Answer: Attached is a calendar to help you keep track of what chapters you will need to read each day.

Question: What happens if I can’t stop reading and finish the book? Can I still participate?
Answer: It is ok if you can’t stop reading-you can still participate in the real time read. I look at it as a win-win. I can read the whole book without stopping and then I can go back and read each chapter a second time before I join in the discussion for each day. #SpeedDaemons

Will this be your first real time read?
Who has been around for all of them?
Raise your hand if you learn something new each time you participate in a real time read.
Who else is a proud member of the #SpeedDaemons ?

What card did you pull today from THE BLACK BIRD ORACLE DECK? I asked for advice on how to navigate my day and got the Wake of Vultures--a sure sign I'm ready for a fight! In my case I definitely am challenged by a scarcity mindset over the resource of time. I never have enough of it, and tend to blame others when I get frazzled. The question that really resonated with me is "is your time really as depleted as you think?" So my goal today is to take a step back and get a bigger perspective.

This is how I use my tarot and oracle cards--as a tool for journaling and reflection. If your deck arrived, pick a card. Does it resonate with you? Share as much or as little as you like in the comments. #tbbodeck by @debharkness

THE BLACK BIRD ORACLE real time read, ch 27

“I’m not the same witch,” I warned. “You won’t defeat me as easily as you once did.”
Satu turned her palms to face me. They were bright with weaver’s cords, the colors extending to the tips of her fingers.
I gasped. Satu had found another weaver—one able to train her in the art of making new spells. I’d suspected she was a weaver. Here was proof. “I’m not the same witch, either,” Satu said. “And you’re not as special as you thought. There are others like us.”
*********
“Darkness gnawed like a poison in my stomach, feeding on the fear prompted by Satu’s words.
I beat it back with the Light of truth. I was a trained weaver who could tie the tenth knot. I was an initiate in higher magic. I was the mother of gifted twins, and the wife of an extraordinary man. I was more than the sum of my Bishop and Proctor ancestors. I was more than a match for Satu.”
-THE BLACK BIRD ORACLE

Let’s Discuss:
Thank you everyone for participating with us for our real time read of THE BLACK BIRD ORACLE.
What did you think?
What questions do you have for Deb now that we are finished?
Did anyone guess that Satu would be doing the examination? Who did you think it would be?
In the comments below, please share your own observations, discoveries, favorite quotes, and any speculative musings about the events in these first two chapters. If you’ve got burning questions about these chapters, this is the place to ask them!
(see comments for some of my favorite quotes)
Did you have any a-ha moments?
Good Luck

“I wondered if all the Proctor decks had started this way, with a child drawing out their inner hopes and fears and refining them over a lifetime until they sang with power and insight.”
