First, we are going to continue the same spell as a few classes before. Yes, I do know that you are all tired of it, but you have to master it! Paper out and begin. I'll check your work in about, say, half an hour.

Wands down please. I would like all eyes on me. I believe that as a reward for all your hard work, you can all learn the counter charm to this spell. It will only work if your paper is fully wood-like. Without wands first repeat after me. Sillacharus. Louder! Sillacharus! Good. Wands out and toward your wood. I want you to try your hardest, of course, but I don't expect most of you to get it for a another few classes. You have fifteen minutes.

Fifteen minutes are up. Wands away please. Your homework is to take your wood with you and try to turn it into paper. Thats all. Class is dismissed until Tuesday.

Welcome back to Divination. Today we will Seeing once more with the aid of our circles. Please take out your pouch and key. Lay out a clean cloth onto the table and spread out your circles face down. I then want you to use them to answer the following questions with them.

Will I start a new project?
End one?
What will the remainder of the week bring?
The month?

Then draw two rounds. Choose which one is for 'yes' and which is 'no'. Use them to answer five yes or no questions.

Today we will be studying another rune that is most commonly called Dagaz. Here is the summory of Dagaz:

Dagaz is also known as Daeg. If it is drawn in a runic reading, then generally the person is feeling the need to be invisble. If it is draw reverse, then the person is feeling the need to be less invisble. You can use this rune as a way to travel unnoticed. Oddly enough, this rune has the main meaning breakthrough.


Have you finished writing your notes? Well, then, here is the next one, Uruz.

Uruz is also known as Ur. It stands for strength, determinations, perservance, courage, health, and assertivness. It is a rune that should be used in all healings. When drawn in a reading, the person who is being read for should be prepared for opportunity disguised as loss. If drawn in reverse, the person being read for should look deep with in themselves to see if they have been missing these opportunities in the set backs.

Once you finish on this one, I want you to get your notes on Mannaz as well. Pretend that you have drawn Mannaz, Dagaz, and Uruz for the past, present, and future. Write a report telling me how you would plan for the future and how you would interpret it.

It is ten minutes until your next class. Please put your quills away. If you have completed your report, please hand it up. If you haven't, finish it for homework. Off you go!

Today we are going to continue our discussion on werewolves. We will be learning the distinguishing characteristics of the said beast. Please get out your quills and paper. The three main points to remember when distinguishing a werewolf from an ordinary wolf is to check three parts: the pupils of the eyes, the snout, and the tail. Highlight on your paper: Pupils, Snout, Eyes. Now for explanations of each.
If you ever have looked at a cat's eyes in bright light, you will see that the pupils are slits instead of rounds. If you look at a human's eyes at any light, the pupils will remain round. A werewolf always has slit pupils when in the transformed state, whether it is light or dark.

A wolf has a long, thin, pointed snout with a black nose. A werewolf, on the other hand, has a pigmentless nose with a long, thick pointed snout. The eyes are also slightly pigmentless and the eye rims are pure pink.

A wolf's tail is quite even all the way through, where as the werewolf has a remarkably thin tail that ends in a tuft not unlike a lions.

These are the characteristics that are the easiest to distinguish. There are body structrual traits as well, like bones that are in different places, but you must see the skeleton for that.

For homework, I would like you to research a picture of a wolf and draw your own. Then, from what I have just told you, create a drawing of a werewolf. That is due on Tuesday. Class is dismissed.

Did everyone find some of their things? Good. Please turn in your lists and your food. No homework. Time for your next class.
