◦ ۩ ◦ {{ OOC }} - I never got to reply to all the magick goodness on the train thanks to life being sucky and stressful. I really wanted to join in so I thought ya'll might want to continue the conversation here. Hope that's okay. <3 (I really wish the Gaia App let you go in guilds. Then I could reply a little easier.)

I used to study magick when I was a teenager (and even into my early 20's). I'm still quite fond of Tarot reading as well as crystal studies. My Tarot cards were passed down to me from my mother. She was AMAZING at reading the future.

I don't actively practice Wicca like I used to. Having said that, I do have some knowledge on the subject. A great all around book that I own is The Spiral Dance by Starhawk (an update to the book can be found HERE). It was the first book ever recommended to me when I started looking into magick. It's a little controversial in some respects but it's a well rounded book for getting you the knowledge you need to start practicing Wicca.

James, I had a friend who was a druidic mage. He bought me a really good book on it but I can't seem to track it down. (He referred to it as his "bible".) If I can find where it's wandered off to I'll post a link for it. ^w^ - {{ /OOC }} ◦ ۩ ◦

Nikki walked into the Great Hall excitedly. She had really enjoyed the train ride with her new friends. They had all been super kind and welcoming as they were back when she'd departed for the summer. Lurking by the door, Nikki hoped to catch up with some of them again. "Eee I'm finally here in Hogwarts! I'm so crazy excited I should be committed!" Nikki laughed merrily.

"Although..." she added thoughtfully. "That conductor really needs to lighten up. If he likes that hat so much he should've bought more than one" Nikki sighed shaking her head with a bemused grin.

((Ditch the app, instead bookmark the guilds homepage to access all your guilds from your smartphone. It's not ideal but it works.

I keep hearing recommendations for Spiral Dance but I put off getting it because it seems very Wicca/eclectic neopagan focused and I've gone in a very different direction. How is it, really?))

"I'm sure if Erik had more than one hat James would rob him of it more than once!" Crystal follows Nikki into the hall and makes for Slytherin table. "Why don't you sit with me Nicolette?" She pats the seat next to her. A steaming, thatched-top apple pie appears in front of her. "As usual," she says, "look we have pie! Want some?"  

[ApostleOfTheWind13]

ooc: That's a really good idea Crystal! I'm going to do that.

Hailey followed Crystal and Nikki into the Great Hall, listening. "I agree with Crystal on this one. James is mischievous enough to where Erik wouldn't get much relief from him even with multiple hats." Having said her piece, she heads to the Ravenclaw table and watches as Nikki and Crystal go over to the Slytherin table. She immediately begins to load her plate with chicken, mashed potatoes and dinner rolls with plans to have a piece of apple pie afterward.

Little Love poked her head around and saw the students eating the big feast that she helped make. She smiled and giggled and jumped up and down with excitement. She ran back to the kitchens to tell the others the news!

"Bring your plate over Hailey!"

"Bring your plate over Hailey!"

Hailey looked up when she heard Crystal say her name across the hall. She smiled and nodded then picked up her plate and brought it over to where Crystal and Nikki were sitting.  

[techpriest35]

Oh if erik had more than one hat i would have jinxed his head so that his hat always fell off
*sees the house elf run off*
Remind me to thank the house elves for this awesome feast and for cleaning up after our food fights
*drinks a mug full of a strange liquid that seems to always be refilling*

((I'd love to get into tarot readings one day. My friend Nami is pretty good at it, but she won't let anyone else touch her set, even friends. I can understand why, though. I don't let anyone else touch my wand for similar reasons. You never know if someone's negative energy will influence objects or other people, so I keep a close watch on my things.))

Clover looked up at the ceiling of the Great Hall, fascinated by the fact that the roof appeared to be missing but the outside elements were kept out so that the students could dine in peace.
"I wonder if that is some kind of charm that allows for such an effect?" She grinned, looking forward to her classes even more than before.

Oh its just a basic charm. Its just a very powerful casting of said charm. its the same charm that makes invisibility cloaks, not the deathly halow but cheap imitiations of it they normally wear out in about a year or two. But hogwarts has a team of witches and and wizards that keep all the magicaleffects and defenses running smoothly.

Of course they do but thats why they only need to fix it when something breaks or stips working
Each professor and head of house and the headmaster plus all the ghosts in the castle are responsible for a section of the castle. For instance im head of slytherin house and professor of charms its my job to make sure the charms all work in the duengeons and i work with the defense against the dark arts professor and the bloody baron to make sure the duegeons and lower levels are working properly we each have our own job to do

"Oh, p-pleased to meet you, professor! Please, excuse my lack of manners earlier." She lowered her head in respect.
