The alraun I’ll be making: well, the day I’ll be digging up the root is on my father’s birthday. Very serendipitous that it’s the proper moon phase and a family member’s birthday. It’ll seem extra helpful to begin bringing in a “new family member” on the birthday of another.
I’m just hoping everything works and I don’t kill the root, because I’ll have to wait until spring if this doesn’t work. The ground will be too hard to dig and there’ll be so much snow.
