Time Walk

Obsessed with the idea of sorcerer's eyes turning gold as means of scaring off predators, similar to how poisonous frogs are generally brightly colored to warn away birds, or how certain butterflies use startle coloration to temporarily shock their predators with a sudden color change. The golden eyes act, essentially, as a glaring warning to the opposition that a sorcerer's insides are far more threatening than they may appear on the outside. Or, at the very least, as a means of temporarily startling the enemy while the sorcerer makes a quick escape.

Also consider - frog/butterfly coded!Merlin. This man is pure amphibian/insect just look at him! Truly a creature.

My tiny mind blown

Witch in the hood

I think one of the most powerful tools a practitioner can use in ritual, though not one I see discussed often, is reenactment.

Reenacting the myths of your gods.

Reenacting the trials of your saints.

Reenacting the movement and rhythm of the natural world around you.

To act as these is to invoke these, body and soul- both from without and within. To feel the exact space that they occupy in the ritual, which is yourself. It is to clothe yourself in their divinity, so that a small part shall remain.

This is the spell, you see. That piece, that part, is the gift imparted to you. To shape you or guide you in the way you ask.

Act on Impulse
