Take 49 - The One With the Word
Description: Diana has just miscarried, and Matthew is a Mess™. We all examine our feelings and reactions to both characters in this episode. We also gather around with the witches to watch Diana cast her forespell! You were wondering about the episode title? Well, with this ritual a new creature emerges. How does this relate? F*cking Firedrake -- sound familiar? See what we did there? That also happens to be "the word" to get into our Facebook group. We caught ourselves trying to be clever! Please enjoy our splash back into the chapters; we certainly did!SPOILER ALERT! We (The Daemons) approach this podcast with an assumption that the listener has read All Souls universe books, including the trilogy (A Discovery of Witches, Shadow of Night, The Book of Life), and Time's Convert + snippits from The World of All Souls. If you haven't, and you don't mind, we certainly don't mind! Please be advised, we will approach the television series (A Discovery of Witches) the same way when it is released in the US/Canada. π Let's do this. *Note - this podcast is labeled 'explicit'

Chapter 23, Shadow of Night
- Our thoughts going into this difficult subject.
- The witches spill the tea on Matthew!
- Diana comes to Matthew’s defense.
- Plans for weaving Diana’s first spell commence; no wallowing and self-pity allowed, so says Goody!
- MATTHEW! We were so angry π‘π‘π‘
- Trying to put the moves on Diana NOW?! Matthew!!!
- Matthew’s poison of choice: opiates via blood.
- The gifts -- we discuss Matthew's reasoning for hiding them from Diana.
- Saved by Pierre!
- Agnes Sampson is dead — the miscarriage isn’t the only thing bothering him.
- Diana just wants to rest. We get it. Fight another day, Diana.
- Matthew, you know what to do, TAKE DIANA TO GOODY’S π‘!
- The wonderful ritual in preparation for her fore spell. The beautiful unique brooms, the salt and the circle.
- The gossiping ghosts!
- The threads/filaments.
- Wings/barbed tail/A DRAGON! Nope. A firedrake.
- Even the ghosts were scared! FTSIO!
- Goody informs her that she needs to tie a knot, forge a spell, do SOMETHING!
- Diana fights fire with fire!
- A visit with the Goddess. On a mountain. Under the stars.
- She comes to on Goody’s floor.
- The firedrake decides to hang out inside of Diana.
- The tree? A theory is posed here.
- Matthew senses Diana’s unease…he’s coming to collect her. Don't cause a scene, Matthew!
- The "darkness" - the few witches that can “move between worlds”
- Matthew needs assurance that Diana is alright.
- Matthew and Diana are more similar than either imagined.
- Back to Goody’s to make a magic plan for Diana!
- Off to Mary’s . . .
- A new idea for a new experiment! Sludgy prima materia, blood, and who needs needles? Not Diana!

* Our episode titles are a loving tribute to the show "Friends" just 'cause we love Friends and - let's face it - it's easier! Here's how one of the show creators explains their reasoning:
Jeff Greenstein: "When Marta & David & Jeff & I did 'Dream On', we used to spend a lot of time thinking about titles, because they were on-screen at the top of each episode. On "Friends", we decided that was a waste of time. We figured, why not name each episode after the thing that people will ostensibly be talking about around the water-cooler the next day?"
