Most books on witchcraft will tell you that witches work naked. This is because most books on witchcraft are written by men.

digitalspy.com Neil Gaiman: American Gods series is powerful, gorgeous Or, to put it another way, it's "shit hot".

mytvhannibal:

The American Gods TV series is finally happening - and according to author Neil Gaiman, it’s looking “shit hot”.
Gaiman told Digital Spy that he first met with showrunner Bryan Fuller in 2014 on the set of Hannibal, to discuss adapting his 2001 fantasy novel.
“I flew out to Toronto and met Bryan - we just talked about American Gods generally and he decided to come on board,” the author recalled.
Two years on and the series is in production at Starz, with Gaiman telling DS that he’s thrilled with Fuller’s vision.
“For me, American Gods is a novel about the immigrant experience as much as it is anything else,” he said. “It’s about coming to America and becoming American, and what you have to give up and what you’re allowed to keep…
“For Bryan, I think it’s a show much more about belief… and belief is one of the engines that drives American Gods, but it’s much more important, I think, in Bryan’s vision.
“He and Michael Green have been writing these really powerful scripts, the casting is shit hot… and the footage that I’ve been seeing is also shit hot.”
Not that Gaiman’s seen a full episode of the adaptation yet…
“They are shooting the first three episodes at once, which is incredibly frustrating if you’re me and they’ve now been shooting for three weeks or whatever and there’s still not one complete episode,” he laughed.
“But it’s looking amazing. It’s got that thing where the production designer and the director and Bryan all have a vision…
"It’s definitely hyper-real, and it’s gorgeous, and I’m so looking forward to seeing a rough cut of something… when they finish one!”
Ricky Whittle will star in American Gods as Shadow Moon, a man thrust into a conflict between Gods when his beloved wife Laura (Emily Browning) is killed in a car accident.
Ian McShane, Peter Stormare and Crispin Glover will also appear in the series,expected to premiere on Starz in early 2017.

Be kind to yourself in the year ahead.

Remember to forgive yourself, and to forgive others. It’s too easy to be outraged these days, so much harder to change things, to reach out, to understand.

Try to make your time matter: minutes and hours and days and weeks can blow away like dead leaves, with nothing to show but time you spent not quite ever doing things, or time you spent waiting to begin.

Meet new people and talk to them. Make new things and show them to people who might enjoy them.

Hug too much. Smile too much. And, when you can, love.

dailydot.com Neil Gaiman reflects on 'Sandman' as he closes the loop on the beloved series We spoke to the legendary fantasy author about everything from Gamergate to Sandman's surly teenage side.

dailydot:

Gaiman has some qualms with the current makeup of the “social justice” community within comics fandom. As he told reporters prior to the event, the best way to become more inclusive and welcoming is to “stop shouting at each other.”
One of the best things about fandom for me as a young fan and then as a young professional was, it was really, really hard to find your tribe. And you would make allowances for the ones that you did find, because finding your tribe… was hard. And you’d find them and you’d go, “OK, you are not, perhaps, everything that I would have wanted in a friend, but I will embrace you!” And now, when it’s incredibly easy for people to find each other in this virtual village, it is also incredibly easy for them to close ranks.
Gaiman mentioned a run-in with the “proto-Gamergaters and proto-SJWs [‘social justice warriors’] before they had a name,” in which he received Tumblr messages from both sides insisting, “we have a right to hate.”
“I was seeing the same letters from both sides. I wanted to start forwarding them to the other team. What works is communication.”

When you’re scared but you still do it anyway, that’s brave.

Dark Sonnet by Neil Gaiman.
I love that Chris Riddell is drawing illustrations for some of my poems for no better reason than pure enjoyment (and what better reason for making art could there be?)
