His Dark Materials was a harrowing, soul-defining experience for me, as it is for all of us. It turns out no one makes alethiometers? So now I’m the person who makes alethiometers.

Update spring 2024: I do not make them on request, so if you’ve come asking when the next one will be ready I truly do not know. I’ve made 10 total since 2008. There are knock-offs on etsy if that vibes for you (and they’re certainly less expensive than my handmade ones). When and if I have another ready to go, it’ll be sold through my dice store. I also make amber spyglasses! So that’s neat. I decided making the knife was a bad idea.
