A Ten-Day Countdown to the Premiere of Season 2 of A Discovery of Witches – Day Ten – History!

Y’all. We’re only nine sleeps and a wake-up — or ten days — from the premiere of Season 2 of A Discovery of Witches TV on Shudder, Sundance Now, and AMC+ on 9 January 2021. To get properly excited, we thought we’d share our thoughts on what we’re most looking forward to about Season 2.

One of everyone’s favorite aspects of Shadow of Night, the source text for Season 2 of A Discovery of Witches TV, is how it whisks the reader into Tudor England — full of real people, real intrigue, and real events. From early production stills, trailers, and behind-the-scenes sneak peaks, we can certainly expect to encounter our favorite historical people and places from the books on-screen. For many of us, this is a wonderful opportunity to attend the court of Elizabeth I in the company of Matthew Roydon, her shadowy spy, and to peruse the extensive library of John Dee. Thanks to the incredible production team at Bad Wolf, we’re in for a phenomenal tour of Tudor England and Renaissance Europe–warrens, libraries, castles, countryside, and everything in between. If you haven’t already, take some time to watch this incredible “Behind the Magic” feature from New York Comic Con this fall and get in the mood for some A+ historical tourism.

If you can’t get enough, you should also check out the fabulous Biography Sundays in the All Souls Discussion Group on Facebook — there are book discussions, chapter questions, and lots of great details about characters (real and imagined!) from the All Souls Universe.

We’ll celebrate the premiere of Season 2 with a live-tweet on Saturday, 9 January 2021, at 7pm EST. Use the hashtag #ccalchemy to join in the fun and keep your eyes peeled for our updated release and live tweet schedule.

In the meantime, follow us on Twitter or join our Facebook group, the Chamomile & Clove Clovers, to connect with us and other fans eagerly awaiting the return of our favorite series in just. ten. days.

Tell us which historical figure you’re most excited to see in Season 2 in the comments!

As a reminder, we’re TWO SHORT WEEKS from Virtual All Souls Con — we can’t wait to share our panel with you and celebrate the All Souls Community virtually. We won’t publish an episode the first weekend of the Con so that you can spend your time enjoying all of the great content the organizers have in store, but keep an eye out for our next episode in the first weekend of November. To celebrate the Con, we’re hosting a fabulous giveaway — keep your eyes peeled for our Twitter and Facebook announcements!

We hope you and yours are well and safe and we send you all of our love. Take care of each other.

Happiest Sunday, Clovers!

We’re here to talk about Chapters 30 and 32 of Time’s Convert in our SECOND TO LAST chapter episode for the book! In the next episode, we’ll join all of the storylines and talk about endings and beginnings and change… it is a book in the All Souls Universe, after all. Today, we’re committing crimes against the German language (sorry), issuing an elegy for Marcus’s youth, finding babies (making babies!), and trying (unsuccessfully) to pull Matthew and Marcus out of a relationship nosedive.

We’re deep in the 2020 Real-Time Read of A Discovery of Witches, but it’s never too late to join!

Bonjour, Clovers!

We so enjoyed seeing so many of you for our live kickoff to the #RealTimeReading2020 of #ADiscoveryofWitches. It was great to come together as a community and experience the magic of Chapter 1 — keep an eye out for future reading opportunities over the next couple of weeks!

We recently recorded our lecture for All Souls Con 2020 and we are beyond excited for you to hear it! Grab your virtual tickets to the con at the link and get ready, because there is some fantastic lecture and round table content coming your way!

In today’s episode, we’re deep in the throes of Marcus’s youth–and the French Revolution–in Chapters 25-27 of Time’s Convert. There’s lots of tricky talk about ideals and extremism, mental health, and perspective — and there are more penis jokes than we remembered. C’est la vie, c’est la révolution. Pour yourself a big cup of Liberté, Égalité, et Fraternité and settle on in.

Download the episode here.

We have new merchandise in our Redbubble store and there’s more coming soon. If you like, you can also support us on Patreon or just leave a rating and review on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.

If you’d like to be in the loop about future events, including live readings, follow our Twitter @chamomilenclove or–even better–join our Facebook group, the Chamomile & Clove Clovers. We’d love to have you.

Enjoy the episode and take care!

Episode 83 – Into the Woods

Happiest Sunday, Clovers!

It’s Week 100 or something of lockdown and we are headed right into the weeds of Marcus’s story — it gets wacky, but that’s to be expected.

In today’s episode, we’re covering Chapters 21-22 of Time’s Convert — Marcus’s transformation from human to vampire, some thorny issues of transformation and consent, questions and answers, family and rebirth, manners, and an unexpected musical interlude.

Download the episode here.

We’re rapidly approaching the 2020 Real-Time Reading of A Discovery of Witches! If you haven’t participated before, the Real-Time Reading is an opportunity to re-read A Discovery of Witches one chapter at a time on the day the plot “happens” — it’s a wonderful way to mark the passing of the seasons and to bide our time before the release of A Discovery of Witches TV Season 2 in January 2021.

In recognition and celebration of this event, we’re doing a live reading event on Friday, 18 September 2020, via Zoom — if you’re interested in joining us for camaraderie and magic, you can join our Facebook group, the Chamomile & Clove Clovers, to RSVP. You can also follow our Real-Time Reading posts via Twitter or participate in the All Souls Discussion Group on Facebook.

We look forward to celebrating the changing season with you and hope you enjoy the episode.

xoxox,
