About Bader Saab

Follow Me

My name is Bader Saab, and I’m a digital journalist, a solitary, eclectic witch, and a self-proclaimed modern-day Sah’ir. Witchcraft found me in my teens ens and I’ve been learning and practicing as an eclectic ever since, but only recently found my way as Modern-Day Sha’ir, a pre Islamic priest who was thought to be in league with the Gods and the jinn, capable of doing magic and inspiring his tribe and its warrior through poetry. Besides reading and writing, you can find me studying the Gothic subculture, learning new languages, brewing uncommon tea combinations and making endless lists of movies, music and the like that don’t seem to end.
