We will be continuing the same spell as last time. Wands out, please. Paper is on your desk.

I am glad to see that you are making progress. Many of you have actual managed a nice grade of wood. Please hand all board up here and the paper, too.
Now, I want you to turn to your neighbor and discuss things that this spell is useful for. Find at least five uses. You have half an hour.

Time is up, class. What you have been discussing is now your homework. I want seven inches on two reasons this spell is useful. You may go now.

Next I am going to have you create your own divining set that will be easy to use. You will need 38 of the disks in this basket. Now please draw on each of these disks one of these symbols:
acorn - good health
anchor-voyage
arrow-bad news in a letter
balloon-troubles lifting
bat-disappointment
bee-meeting friends
bells-good news
birds-good luck
book-learning
cat-treachery
circle-love
coin-payment of debt
cross-trouble on the way
dog-faithful friends
egg-increase
fish-news from abroad
flag-danger
flowers-love
glove-luck and honour
hammer-triumph
hand-friendship
hat-new work
house-stability
key-unveiling of mystery
leaf-good luck
man-unexpected visitor
moon-love
needle-respect from others
owl-bad health
rabbit-success
shoe-career change
spider-money
star-good luck
sun-continued happiness
tree-success
triangle-unexpected event
umbrella-annoyences
wings-news
Also, please copy the list so that you have all of the meanings on hand.

Eyes up here, please. Now that you each have a set of these divining disks, I want you to practice using them. They are tokens that will tell you the future, if you can See. Spread them all face down on the table. As you swirl them around clockwise, think of a question. When you feel the time is right, pick one. It will tell you the outcome of the question. Try this for a few questions.

Time is up, now. Take one of these pouches and store your tokens in them. Your homework is to continue keeping a dream diary. We will be doing dream interpretation in the future...

Runes: First Year: Week 2: Tuesday

Now that you have learned how to write in runic, I think that it is time for you to learn to what certain runes mean. Please take out a quill and copy down this sign:
Man or Mannaz
The Self
Modesty, Thought, Alturism, Trust
If someone draws this rune, it means that they need to know their self more. They need to stop and reflect. Also, it may mean that they need to trust more and be more modest.

I think that we will just start with one today so that I can explain it.
First, the names. One name is the Elder Futhark Name and the other is a newer name. On this one, Man is the Elder Futhark Name and Mannaz is the newer name. It is handy to know both names.
Second, this is the rune summed up into one or two words.
Next, I expanded on the main meaning.
Last, this is what I think it would mean if I drew this rune for someone. You'll learn how to do that later. It would mean the same thing if you drew the rune for yourself, but then you would know exactly where it applied to.

I want you to memorize this rune, because I will be giving you at least one more next class. Homework is to memorize Mannaz. Class is dismissed.

For next part of your werewolf education I ask you to study the Wolf's Bane Potion. This potion is highly complex, and very difficult to make. It is, however, worth the effort, for it causes the human to turn into a common wolf, not dangerous to anyone. The many ingredient is wolf's bane, as shown on the right. Wolf's bane is extremely poisonous on it's own.
Said to taste bitter, the Wolf's Bane Potion must be drunk a few days before the full moon, during the full moon and a few days afterwards.
Sugar makes it entirely useless.
It was invented by Mr. Damocles Belby, who's nephew Marcus currently attends school here.
I have here a few samples of the plant courtesy of Professor Sprout, which I will pass around. Study the plant and especially the flower. After you are done, pass it on. Once everyone has seen it, I want you to get into groups and draw a diagram of the whole plant.

That is the bell I hear, so please put away your quills. Your homework is to research the Wolf's Bane Potion and find out as many more of the ingredients as you can. 10 house points to the person who finds the most!

Now that you have a good idea of your personal number profile, the next thing you are going to learn is how to choose your future. Notice that I said choose, not predict. What you are about to learn is not telling the future but learning how to tackle choices that may come your way. First, I want you to remember your personal number. Got that? Good. Now the first choice we are going to come up against will be something small and rather insignificant. How about what colour you should wear tomorrow? Nice and minor. Now write out tomorrow's date: 11/5/2008
First, reduce all of the numbers: 1+1/5/2+0+0+8 = 2/5/1
Next, add all of the reduced numbers: 2+5+1= 8
So, tomorrow's personal number is 8. Now, add tomorrow's number with your number. For me, that would be: 8+8=16 1+6=7
So for me, tomorrow is a 7 day.

Now you need a list of colors and their numbers.
Here is one:
1 Pink, Brass, Dark Purple
2 Copper, crimson
3 Orange, Gray
4 Yellow, Black, White, Gold
5 Purple, Magenta
6 Metallic
7 Navy, Tan, Plum
8 Green, Blue, Silver
9 Red, Brown

I must admit that I had some trouble finding colours for some numbers.
Compare numbers between colours and what number tomorrow will be for you. Choose which colour you would want to wear the most out of your options.

Just as an exersise for you brain, figure out today's number and what colour you should be wearing. See if you are wearing that colour.


It is time for you to go. Please pack up. Your homework is to think of a decision that is in your future. Use arithmancy to decide. Class is dimissed
