✨The Signs as Witchy Practices✨

*check sun and moon!

🔥🌻~Aries~ Fertility magic, rejuvenation of the land, wax figures and hair in lockets, constant study and practice, containing passion in a potion, spells cast through speech, song and music. Summoning of storms and glimpses into the future.  

🍂☕~Taurus~ Slow love potions, drawing in the earth, windchimes of bone and dried herbs, harvest and crop magic, sewing spells into clothing, symbols above doors and windows to ward off harm, herbal remedies, spells spoken softly to loved ones and the leaves, rain magic.   

✒️⛅~Gemini~ Gatherings of witches at dawn, trickery, shapeshifting, transfiguration, brewing luck and illusions, tarot and palm readings. Communal magic performed through movement, a mingling of voices, mind-reading and tides of music. Flight possible, exploring mountain peaks and far off lands. 

🔮🌙~Cancer~ Tide and moon based magic, nothing physical but instead visions, psychic intuition, premonitions and dream travelling. Healing of the soul possible, witches gather for dream time. Work with sea water perhaps, little speech: communication through the eyes instead.

🕯️✨~Leo~ Celebration, festivities and potions: any feeling can be brewed and sold. Sky magic, painting in air, light and flame manipulation to create sights of beauty and illusion. Luck charms stored near the heart, candles lit in the dark, magic performed through poetry. All is shared.

📚🗝️~Virgo~ Traditional magic, herbal remedies and balms, seclusion and documentation. Study of runes, numerology and forgotten, archaic practices. Use of stones and gems to map out the future, predictions for the next year made, tuning into energies and ghosts of the past.

ron weasley x hermione granger: always the tone of surprise

                        “lara jean, everyone was so impressed by your presentation in lit,                            but especially me. i love having a smarty pants fake girlfriend.”                              “it’s so cool how we can talk to each other about real stuff.”                                                   “you looked so pretty today.”

Beautiful and enchanting book covers by Nirvanum.

Minerva Mcgongall pulled out her notebook and turned to the page that listed the names and details of that years Gryffindor Quidditch team. Her heart swelling with pride she jotted down the name “Harry Potter” next to the position “Seeker” before closing the book and opening a second drawer. She took out a small, wooden box and rummaged in it for a few seconds before withdrawing a worn out envelope, inside of which was a short letter and a photograph.

“Dearest Minnie,

Hope you’re doing well! I’m the same of course, driving Lily up the wall as usual, she sends you her love by the way!

Now I know I told you that you’ll never find a chaser as good as me ever again, but it just goes to show that even the brilliant are sometimes mistaken. I’ve found you (made you!) a replacement who will one day outshine his old man by leagues! Enclosed is a photograph of your new Quidditch prodigy so that you may assess his skills for yourself. We have him chasing the cat for practice. He’ll be unbeatable by the time he starts at Hogwarts! The youngest Quidditch player in a century!

I guarantee it, Minnie. And you know I’m never wrong, though you’ll never admit it!

Missing you and Hogwarts terribly,

Lots of love,

James

P.S. Sirius says his marriage proposal still stands.”

Wiping away a single tear that ran down her cheek and chuckling to herself, she smiled down at the photograph of a small, gleeful, black haired boy zooming along on a toy broom, a pair of legs chasing after him and a young woman laughing hysterically in a corner.

“Right again, Mr. Potter.”

If you listen closely you can hear me screaming

Her heart wears wisdom skin and wit warmed splendor, the echoes of a war cry holding its four chambers together. She rises on a night of victory dancing. She rises like the blood moon in a night sky of a thousand nebulae bursting.

Oh you may not think I’m pretty, But don’t judge on what you see, I’ll eat myself if you can find A smarter hat than me. (1991)
