JUSTIN MARMOREAL.

ASKARI NDIAYE.

The Eight Sabbats part 1

Note: please let me know in dms or in the comments if I missed something, or got something wrong! My point of making posts like these is to inform, but sometimes my research and information can be incorrect itself! Please let me know! <3 Part 2 is coming out soon.

The eight sabbats/the wheel of the year are holidays around the year, generally celebrated by pagans, witches, or wiccans. The sabbats/holidays divide the year into eight equal parts that mark the beginning and mid-points of each season. *The pictures included are not mine*

Solstice: The time (happens 2x a year) in which the sun reaches it's maximum/minimum destination. Marked by the longest and shortest days. June 21st and December 22nd.

Equinox: The time (happens 2x a year) in which the sun crosses the celestial equator, when day and night are at equal length.

Yuletide - December 21st-January 1st

Yuletide (yool - tide) or Yule takes place on the winter solstice, the shortest day and the longest night of the year. This is a time of joy as it is the starting point for light to enter the world again. Yule is a great time for home magick, personal magick, family quality time, and celebration. Short days of work and long nights of dreaming. Set intentions, make new plans, appreciate your work of the seasons before this.

Common traditions with Yuletide is to light candles on December 20th (Mid-Winter's Eve) to herald the return of the Sun. Another, the Yule log. Which is burned (often in a fire place) to represent the light that can be found in darkness. A piece of the log is traditionally saved to start the new year's fire.

Themes- Introspection, hope, rebirth, reflection, family, transformation, celebration.

Symbols- Bells, evergreen, gifts, ivy, mistletoe, wreath, yule log.

Colors- Gold, green, red, silver, white.

Food/Herbs- Apple cider, cinnamon, egg nog, gingerbread, nuts, pine, roast beef, rosemary, sage, wine, wintergreen.

To do- Burn Yule log, decorate, tell stories, wrap presents, spend time with family, burn a candle.

Good spells- Hope, happiness, love (not necessarily romantic), friendship, peace, bonds, prosperity.

DORM LEADER REGULATIONS.

Dorm Leaders are all required to be at least 18 years old (or in their third year, if they’ve skipped grades.)

All Dorm Leaders have individual private classes with the Headmistress after school. Because of these classes, the Dorm Leaders are much more powerful than their peers.

In association with the above, each Dorm Leader own a grimoire containing everything that they’ve learned from the Headmistress.

While the requirements to be a Dorm Leader varies by dorm, the most common attribute is the ability to be quick-thinking and headstrong.

Dorm Leaders are referred to as ‘Queen’ or ‘Lady’ as a sign of their authority, but it’s up to the girls themselves if they want to be referred to like that, as sometimes it’s uncomfortable for both Leaders and students to refer to/be referred to in such formal ways.

VICE DORM LEADER REGULATIONS.

Vice Dorm Leaders are chosen only by the Dorm Leaders. They have a right to refuse if they want to. Resigning is also alright, but they can’t take up the position again once they do.

The only requirement for them is that they are competent and have contributed in keeping things orderly around the dorm, as the Headmistress and her assistant has pounded it into the Dorm Leader’s head that they choose someone like that.

There can be more than one Vice Leader or even no Vice Leader depending on what the Dorm Leader wants. So far, only Cesealia has more than one Vice Leader.

Dorm leaders can also have their familiars assigned as the vice dorm leader. The only dorm that currently has this formation is Nekroskull, and it’s been like that for a very long time.

REGULATIONS FOR ALL LEADERS.

All of them have a key that can unlock any door in their respective dorms.

All Leaders are required to be in two clubs at minimum.

The responsibilities of all dorm members fall on their shoulders. If any student from their dorm is breaking any major school rules, one or both of the leaders are lectured by the Headmistress’s assistant.

More regulations may be added if I think of them.

[arcanewitchinstitute]

INVITATION.

A letter and a few paperwork is sent to you, alongside a black witch dress, randomly showing up on your desk.

“Greetings [Name]! it is with great honor to announce that you have been invited to attend Arcane Witch Institute. The Headmistress has noticed your potential for greater magical prowess, and would like to help train you at this academy. Before you is a dress that you must wear for the entrance ceremony.

Alongside these letters, we would appreciate it if you could fill out the student form and tell us more about you so that we can decide on your classes and dorm. Please complete them as soon as possible, they will return back to the school on their own once you’re done. We’re excited to hear your reply!

Sincerely, Miss Collector.”

A portal will be opened the next day for you to send any luggage that you want. A small purple vial will appear on your desk too, to which you’ll need to take. You needs to be wearing the witch dress before you drink it, however. And now, your eyes shut.

ENTRANCE EXAM?

There is no test or entrance exam that students need to pass to see if they are “truly fit” or “truly ready” for this school. The people that this school picks are all intelligent and powerful in their own right after all, She knows they are!

If you have received an invitation from the school—from the Headmistress—then that is enough to say that you’re worthy. Do not question the Headmistress’s judgement.

ENTRANCE CEREMONY + DORM SORTING.

Upon awakening from your slumber, you will find yourself on a soft bed. The room is small, with a single window that is too foggy to look out from. There’s a goblet resting on the table with a strange liquid in it, which you will need to take with you as you leave. Following a glittering trail will help lead you to the Witches’ Covenstead, where the sorting takes place.

The Witches’ Covenstead is a giant greenhouse. In here are the other students for the ceremony, and you can see the moon shining up high through the transparency of the greenhouse. There are empty rows of dirt for the new students; the liquid in the goblet will be poured to water the row. The water will change color as it goes into the seeds to make it grow.

Either roses, alstroemerias, coral flowers, jasmines, calla lilies, chrysanthemums or commelina flowers will bloom. The Headmistress will then announce the dorm thats been decided for you.

However, if none of the listed flowers bloom for you, then…well, you’ll find out.

You cannot change to a different dorm once you’ve been sorted; there are no exceptions to this. The Headmistress’s choice is absolute.

BEFORE THE FIRST DAY.

Students have two weeks prior to stay in the school to get used to the environment and Shadow Servants. There’s a tour every day by the Welcoming Committee, but maps are still handed out to the students if they understandably still don’t really remember or understand things. Of course, the first thing the Welcoming Committee will do is show you to your dorm room.

It’s also recommended that you give some sort of sketch for, or at least tell the staff, how you want your uniforms to look like, unless you’re completely fine with the default uniforms.

Students need to choose a familiar before the two weeks are over, as they are required for your magic classes. If you’d like to know more about familiars and magical creatures, please click here.

There are a few items that need to be given to you before your school life actually starts:

Your magic gem and brooch.

A Personal Wardrobe.

Your new schedule.

Everything else is up to you until school starts. Have fun, new witch. Bloom well.

[arcanewitchinstitute]

FAMILIARS AND MAGICAL CREATURES.

Some of the Great Seven were known for having an animal companion to assist them with their needs, whether it be for magic or for their own personal matters. So, as a way to accommodate that, the students at AWI are required to have a familiar!

A familiar is a witches’ greatest companion, as they assist the students in their practice of magic at this school. Not only that, but familiars can be used as conduits to help perform more powerful spells, either by allowing the familiar to do most of the fighting or by combining the student and familiars’ mana together.

The familiars here are usually beasts that have magical properties—it’s rare for a student to have a regular animal or house pet as their familiar but it’s not unwelcome. If you have your own animal companion before you came to AWI, then they’re allowed to be here. Please don’t worry about the magical creatures harming them!

Magical creatures are normally found in the Enchanted Forest, but they also live in both of AWIs associates, such as the Great Tree in Siguan Ki or in the waters of Shui Lianhuā.

Most magical creatures however are much more hostile and/or wary of others that they don’t recognize; especially if they’re first years or men.

There are multiple ways to gain a familiar:

Simply pick one. Randomly. The staff will allow it. Doesn’t matter why you pick them, it just depends on what you want.

There are a couple beasts that you can fight. If you manage to defeat them, then they’ll submit to you as a sign of respect.

While this is rare, the magical creature can appoint themselves to you own their own.

Even more rare than the last one: a small amount of students have been known to actually make their own familiar through magic.

Changing familiars is not allowed. Stick with them to the very end.

Once you have chosen a familiar, a Witches’ Mark will appear around your wrist to signify the bond. The Mark depends on whatever dorm you got sorted into: it can be a heart, claw marks, a shell, fangs, a peacock feather, fire, or a spinning wheel.

Trained familiars are taught to be very nice and considerate to the students; of course, this doesn’t mean that there aren’t trained familiars that are mischievous and a bunch of pranksters; the smaller ones are especially guilty of it.

The companionship between a witch and their familiar is extremely important. You are not master and servant, you are allies. Keep that in mind. There strictly should not be any sort of power imbalance or abuse on either side; if the staff finds out this is happening, the student will get suspended or the familiar would be restrained until further notice.

Students are allowed to have their familiars accompany them, hence why the school is built to be so large. However, there are some familiars that prefer to stay in their own personal homes or their witches’ dorm.

All familiars are given the ability to speak; it’s much easier to communicate with everyone, especially their witch companion. They are also given a transformation potion that allows them to be human, which is optional to take.

However, if a magicless person somehow manages to interact with them, magical creatures will make noises just like any other creature. It makes it harder for them to communicate, but some trained familiars do know how to lip-read and write so they do that instead.
