1: They’re Magically Delicious

According to the old lore in even the age I was born it was said that at the end of a rainbow one could find a pot of gold hidden away by a leprechaun and that if you could find that gold you could take it for your own.  However, the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow I sought was not one not so incipient as material wealth, nor was the rainbow one that a man might observe after a warm summer rain, which was made up of a myriad of colors.  Rather that rainbow I observed and followed was colored in green chalk for Saint Patrick’s Day and it ended on the side of pub, which was where I would find my pot of gold… or where I would find my lucky charms.  The pub’s entrance was at the bottom of a stairwell that led to a basement.    

A light rain began to fall as I descended the stairs, causing the green chalk to wash away from the wall and begin to run along the descending stairs, where it stained in front of two swinging half-doors that led into the pub.  The sign hanging above the pub read, "Lucky's," but judging by the clientele, the place was anything but...

I had not frequented such establishments in my youth, but even in my ignorance I would have known that to label such a place as a "dive bar" would be an insult to real dive bars.  The bartender regarded me cautiously, I was too aware, too clean, and healthy compared to his normal patrons. 

"Can I get you something ladee?" he asked as if my request would be for directions to another establishment.  "Breakfast, preferably oatmeal, coffee and two shots of top shelf vodka," I replied as I neared the bar.  The bar tender frowned and responded by saying that the coffee and vodka they could do, but breakfast might be a problem.

I sneered and raised my left eye brown indicating that I would not be leaving without a healthy breakfast of fine whole grain oats that were packed with life sustaining nutrition.  "I will see what I can do," he said as he scrambled to kitchen after he poured two shots and a cup coffee and set in front of me.  A few minutes passed while I waited and regarded my surroundings, I tried to stay patient for what I knew in my oatmeal iron fortified gut what would ensue. 

A greater inspection of my surroundings revealed a motley crew of men and ...women.  I typically did not notice an inherent attractiveness of the fairer sex, as I had only eyes for one woman and was determined to see her again, Mrs. Butterworth, but there was something unusual one woman that was... charming.

Despite the drunkard ruffians among them, the woman seemed joyous, full of youthful life, and color, as if the surroundings faded into a black and white background while she shone in beautiful, brilliant colors drawing all of the focus of the eye to her.

She looked as if she could not have more than in her early 20s, but her eyes bespoke of a timelessness akin to an ancient being.  I quickly counted off eight shapes that adorned her and her clothing and jewelry.  There were: 1) pink hearts, 2) yellow stars, 3) purple horseshoes, 4) green clovers, 5) blue moons, 6) rainbows, 7) red balloons, 8) white with blue and pink unicorns, 9) and pot of gold.  I had found her, the Banshee of Breakfast, the corporeal incarnation of Lucky’s Charm Bracelet, which meant Lucky was not far away.        

I regarded the Banshee of Breakfast in all her sugary glory.  She was a pale woman with green hair and was lithe in stature with slightly pointed ears that could have been called “elven” if they were longer.  Just then the bartender returned with a piping hot bowl of vitamin and mineral fortified oatmeal… but corrupted with marshmallows pink hearts, yellow stars, purple horseshoes, green clovers, blue moons, rainbows, red balloons, unicorns, and a pot of gold.  Only Mrs. Butterworth knew the “proper” amount the sweetness that one could add to oatmeal for maximum fortitude and taste.  The marshmallows had ruined a perfect breakfast…

The man next me swung on his barstool and dropped his glamor spell inherent of all the Fae-Folk to reveal himself to be the man… or that is he was the leprechaun I sought.  He was pale as the Banshee of Breakfast and dressed in nearly all green with a top hat adorned with four-leaf clover… and a small skull.  He had dark red hair and beard, and he was of slightly below average height.  He could pass as an average Irishman if not for the timeless and ageless look in his eyes.  He took a drag from tall glass of green dyed wholesome milk and then spoke.  “So, you’re after me lucky charms.”  I only nodded, knowing what was about to ensure, nonetheless he spoke.  “You know that many a child has tried, few have succeeded, and all have come to regret it.”  I nodded again, knowing of the madness that could come when wielding the powerful magic of the lucky charms. 

“I don’t have choice, in battle of breakfast there can be only one… and he has her.  I will not stop, and I will sacrifice any and everything and have her back and again secure a tasty, nutritious and wholesome breakfast,” I said solemnly.  The leprechaun only signed, “You can’t beat me, I am Lucky for a reason… and you will never get her back.  If she has been taken by him then she is gone.  It is through the will of the ever-growing breakfast loving population that he has grown powerful beyond measure.  The breakfast barons bend knee to him and perhaps only with the collective power of all of us could you hope to defeat him.”  Suddenly his eyes widened at the scope of my ambitions.  All I said was, “Salve Prandium,” … and Banshee of Breakfast screamed, which shattered the mug of whole milk held by Lucky, and which nearly shattered my ear drums as her corporeal form dissipated and her spectral essence reconstituted into the charm bracelet on Lucky’s wrist, which empowered it.

I drew my spell-caster cannon, which contained oatmeal infused spell ammunition for battling magical beings.  It was a weapon for those with no magic of their own but needed to cast spells.  I fired a round imbued with essence of iron, an essential vitamin for a healthy breakfast, which could nullify the magic of the Fae-Folk.  However, Lucky was faster and uttered the words to a spell that activated his charm bracelet, “They’re magically delicious,” and four-leaf clover shield appeared before him that absorbed my round, but the essence of iron nullified the four-leaf clover shield and Lucky quickly prepared to cast another spell.  I quickly dove behind the bar and reloaded my caster cannon with a lightening round, which had been created by old friend Benjamin Franklin.  He knew the value of a hardy breakfast. 

I heard Lucky utter the words to a summoning spell, which ended with the word, “Night-Mare,” and the horseshoe and unicorn charms on his bracelet lit up with black light, and a black fog filled the room and a unicorn as black as midnight appeared out of the black fog.  The horse had purple eyes and purple horseshoes that left fiery imprints on the floor as it walked towards me.  I unloaded my lighting round into it, but the forked lightning merely dissipated around the midnight unicorn and discharged into the ground through its purple horseshoes.   

The Night-Mare screamed and with fanged teeth as it attempted to bite into my exposed neck, but I dove to the side, dropping my expended cartridge and loading another with a "thump," sound.  It was a highly powerful brown sugar round, a common addition to oatmeal for a flavorful breakfast, and I unloaded it into Night-Mare and where it struck a black hole appeared that sucked in everything within three meters, tables, beer mugs, parts of the bar and patrons that had not been wise enough to immediately run to the door when the fighting started.

Most importantly the Night-Mare was spaghettified and sucked into the black hole as well.  I quickly loaded a steel cut oatmeal round into my caster, but Lucky was faster and from his outstretched hand he shot a rain rainbow that cut through the tavern like a laser, but I side stepped and strode faster than he could aim his rainbow and closed the distance towards him and dove as I unleashed the steel cut oatmeal round into his left side, which caused his rainbow spell to fizzle and him to scream out in pain.  I was back on my feet quickly, but not before Lucky could cast another spell.  I saw the heart on the charm bracelet light up, which increased Lucky's tolerance to pain, and increased his endurance and speed.  He moved on me like daemon summoned a Star Mace from his charm bracelet to bash in my skull.  However, I caught it on the down stroke with my caster and batted it away.  I deftly kicked Lucky in the side where I had shot him with the oatmeal round, which knocked him to the ground. 

I believe he knew he was nearly beaten and activated the blue diamond on his charm bracelet, which temporarily made his skin as hard as diamonds.  Nonetheless, I blasted him with another oatmeal round, which rebounded off him harmlessly as he made for the door of the pub.  However, I was hot on his heels and made it outside the bar just in time to see him activate the balloon on his charm bracelet, which caused the incarnation of a pink balloon with a basket that Lucky jumped into to escape me. 

I ran and jumped just in time to grab the basket and dangled by one hand as Lucky kicked at it to cause me to loosen my grip.  Despite the kicking I was able to grasp the basket with my other hand and I swung into the basket to again bring the fight to Lucky.  However, his diamond skin spell had not yet worn off and my blows rebounded off him harmlessly. 

However, his blows were anything but harmless.  He engaged in a combative style typical of an old fighting that reminded me of the Notre Dame mascot.  With a right hook he caught me in the jaw and then with a left-handed hay maker he knocked me over and to the bottom of the basket as we ascended higher into the night sky.  I heard him cast another spell as his diamond armor faded as he reactivated the star charm and brass knuckles in the shape of stars on each of his fingers suddenly adorned his hand.  He moved over me to finish his bloody work, but I kicked up viciously into his charms, which caused him to double over, and I came up to hit him with a wicked uppercut, which knocked him over onto his back.  I moved over him and drew my caster cannon loaded with a round of nutritious whole grain oats and had him dead to rights.  He weakly raised his charm bracelet adorned hand and he threatened to deactivate the balloon charm and cause us both to fall to our deaths.  I cocked my caster and spoke, "There can only be one in the war for breakfast."  “-But it won't be you,” said the leprechaun.  "Fuck you Lucky Charms," was all I said as I pulled trigger and Lucky's head exploded into a mass of blood, brain, bits of skull and whole grain steel cut oats...

Dear XXXX,

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to grow with the company. I will happily take up your offer to transfer branches. I have a few questions regarding the transfer however.

Where would I be moved? How long til my transfer is complete? Will my transfer be out of pocket for moving?

Thank you once again.

Y/n L/n

You closed your laptop and looked over at your mirror to see the baby photo of Sakusa he gave you. You huffed before standing up from your desk. "I'm sorry Omi," You say to yourself. You decided to box up anything Sakusa gave you. The box was small but it was filled with polaroids, movie stubs and other memories.

You scratched your neck then realized you forgot about the necklace you were wearing. Sakusa gave you it for your six months. It was a silver chain with a four-leaf clover charm. You unhooked the necklace and found the small box it came in. You place it into the box of memories and put the box under your bed.

A few days pass, your company replied to your questions. An paid off apartment is set for you, it'll take at least four weeks for everything to transfer over and all moving fees are compensated. The company opened up a newer spot in Seoul, which is where you'll be moving.

You and Sakusa still went through the same daily routine. Only difference was you hid that you were moving. You had sent majority of your clothes, decorations, and furniture to your Seoul storage unit. Only things left were your carry on luggage and the box of Sakusa's things.

Today was your flight and also the day you break things off with Sakusa. In the time you were moving, no progress was made in your relationship. It felt as thought Sakusa wasn't fighting to be with you. You drove to his house, occasionally glancing at the box beside you.

Once you arrived at the house, you put on your mask and walked to the doorstep. You placed the box of things at the foot of the door, you doorbell before backing up. You patiently waited to see Sakusa open the door, mask on but he was shirtless drying his hair.

"Baby? What are you doing here?" He looks down to see the box of things. "What's this?"

"I'm breaking up with you," You say. You tried to keep a blank face despite your rosy cheeks.

"What?" Sakusa was taken back. "What do you mean breaking up?"

"I'm leaving Japan," You say bluntly. "You never really showed me any affection nor did it seem like you cared. It's like you don't even want to touch me. You know how I feel when you wipe away my touch, I'm hurt because you make me feel like I'm disgusting. So...I'm going now."

You turn to leave but Sakusa grabs your wrist. You freeze at his touch and turn to face him. "That's it? You're just leaving without giving me a chance to talk?" He says. You pull away from his hold and step back.

"Everything is already set for me. Goodbye Sakusa," You say. The way you called him by his last name struck. He always knew you liked calling him Omi or some pet name. You leave his walk way and take off your mask as you entered the car. You take off to your parents' place for them to take you to the airport.

Sakusa looked at the box of things and picked it up. He enters his house and puts the box on the counter. He began to dig through the things you kept, putting each one on the counter beside the box.

The first item he pulled out was a polaroid from your three months date. The two of you went to an art museum and you asked a worker to take a photo of you two in front of a scenery painting.

Next was the movie stub from your first date. You two went to a drive in movie to avoid any other people. You watched a horror movie which led you to discover he wasn't comfortable with touching you.

Then he pulled out the small box with the necklace in it. He opens it to see the four leaf clover shine at him. Sakusa pulls it out and and stares at the charm. His eyes began to water at the thought of you leaving forever.

A few months later, the MSBY team had the opportunity to travel and practice with neighboring countries. The team arrived at the hotel in Seoul and sat down to rest.

"Hey Omi, where'd you get that bracelet?" Bokuto points out.

"I bought it," He says. It was the same lucky clover that was on your necklace. He moved it to a bracelet to carry it around in hopes of seeing you again.

The lobby of the hotel wasn't packed but people's conversations were heard around the room. The team was minding their own business chatting until Atsumu stops mid-sentence. "You okay?" Bokuto asks him.

"No, I thought I heard someone say Y/n's name," Atsumu says. It catches Sakusa's attention and he began to scan the room. There was a group of three men talking and then the team hears your name slip up again.

The hotel doors open and the clicking of heels are heard. "Y/n?" Sakusa mutters. You entered and looked different than he remembered. Your hair was styled and shorter. You wore a short black, backless body con dress and heels. You carried a folder and a small handbag.

You approached the talking men and greeted them with hugs. Sakusa watched as you got close to the men and it made him uncomfortable. Another man enters and your face perks up at the sight of him. Sakusa watches as you move quickly towards the man, nearly jumping into his arms.

You pull a bit away from your now boyfriend, and felt eyes watching you. You looked over to see the MSBY boys. Your eyes widen at the sight of them but you turn back to your boyfriend and your friends.

"Oh, those are the Japan volleyball boys playing against SCLA," Your friend says. "You came from the Japan branch right?"

"Yeah, I'm not familiar with the team," You lied.

"Let's get going then? Everyone's here," your boyfriend suggested. Your group nods and your new boyfriend wraps his arm around your waist. You peck his cheek before glancing at the team. You made slight eye contact with Sakusa but look away from him.

Sakusa was frustrated at the sight of another man holding you. He was frustrated at the fact you let someone hold you that close. It seemed as though he didn't matter to you anymore. He was frustrated that he wasn't the person who could hold you that close.

A list of Qrow’s “tattoos”

None of these are canon in any way, shape, or form but they were incredibly fun to write.

Note: I headcanon the Branwen tribe has their own written and verbal language (going hand in hand with another headcanon that each kingdom has their own language but everyone mainly speaks a common language). Since Branwen is a Celtic name in origin, I imagine their language would look similar to Ogham.

His emblem. Gotten at age 5. Located underneath the right side of his rib cage. The bird’s wing is the symbol of the Branwen tribe and is generally marked on those that are potential candidates for the next leader. The wing swoops right for men and left for women. The gear was added in at age 18, as homage to his service to Ozpin. Coincidentally, it now has a scar running through it from where Tyrian struck him with his stinger. By force.

A four leaf clover. Gotten during his Beacon years. Located underneath his leather bracelet. Went through a phase of carrying “lucky” symbols, but couldn’t find an actual four leaf clover. Hates it, but never bothered to get it removed so he kept it covered. Keeps it hidden especially after meeting Clover because he figures it would be awkward. By choice.

“Hunter”. A branding written in the language of the Branwen tribe that has scarred over. Received at age 10 after completing one of the rites of passage for the younger members of the tribe. Starts between his shoulder blades and is written vertically, ending about halfway down his spine. By force.

Feathers. Appeared around age 16, shortly after receiving his gift from Ozpin. The beginnings of quills begin to sprout from his skin, specifically on his back and along the backs of his arms when agitated, occasionally mistaken for tattoos or birthmarks. They do not fully form, but occasionally full blown feathers will sprout along with with his hair and shed. A byproduct of choice.

Celtic knot. Located behind his left ear. Gotten during his Beacon years. Another luck charm, gotten in hopes that the ties he made would be everlasting, as the knot represents eternity. By choice.

“Traitor”. Another branding also written in the language of the tribe. Located about an inch above his bellybutton. Gotten shortly after he graduated from Beacon and didn’t come back home. By force.

“Persist.” On his left bicep, written in the tribe’s language, carved in and made with his own hand. Hidden under his sleeve. A reminder, made after a night he does not want to remember. By choice. Never again.

Summer’s emblem. On the side of the middle finger on his right hand. Tribute to his fallen partner. Gotten after he realized she wasn’t coming back. By choice.

A gold dragon encircling a red rose. Located on his back, beneath the hunter’s mark. For Yang and Ruby, gotten shortly after arriving in Atlas and representing a promise that he will make sure to keep. By choice.

Horseshoe. Encircles the previously mentioned four leaf clover. Gotten shortly after Clover’s death. By choice.

Game Night {Steve Rogers x Reader}

Request: could you uhm 😳😳 do dialogue prompt 10 with steve tysm ily

Warnings: maybe a few curse words, implications of sexy times

Author’s Note: I hope you guys like this! It ended up a little longer than anticipated. Please show it some love. Thank you so so much for reading. I love you all! Xox Angel Baugh

     Your life purpose was to fluster Steve Rogers until he broke. Flirting with Captain America started by accident, but it quickly became your favorite thing to do. Between the cheesy pick-up lines and suggestive comments, Steve’s face would turn bright red. What got to him most was the less-than-holy touches you started doing. It’s not that you did anything risque, the farthest you’ve gone was scoot past him in a very tight place, but he knew that your lingering touches had a deeper meaning behind them.

     But Steve Rogers still couldn’t get the hint that you were interested. It frustrated you to no end. You couldn’t just sit him down and tell him you were madly in love with him. How well would that go? Sure, the worst that could happen would be that Steve rejects you. You would know that it was time to get over him, but that would also end in humiliation. He would tell Bucky or Sam. Sam would spread the embarrassing let down to the whole team and then some. That man could not keep a secret to save his life. The only option was to not tell Steve until you were sure of his feelings. You just had to hope that you wouldn’t out yourself before that.

***

     The sun was just rising when you woke up. It was the start to a -hopefully mission free- weekend. Although there was no reason you should be waking up so early on a Saturday, it had become a habit to spend the quiet time talking with whoever else was awake. 

     ”Good morning, Sweet Cheeks,” you greeted Steve as you entered the kitchen. You made sure to say hello to Sam and Bucky as well.

     “Morning, Y/N. I poured you a cup of coffee just like you like it.” You smiled at the blond, thanking him before picking up the mug that sat next to his. 

     Sam feigned hurt, “Buck, why doesn’t Stevie make our coffee? When I asked him to he said no.”

     “Yeah, that’s a dick move. Maybe if we seduce ‘im like Y/N does, we’ll be able to convince him to do whatever we want!”

     You jumped up to sit on the counter next to where Steve was standing. You watched as the grown men in front of you dramatically told each other what they would make the man next to you do.

     “Do you think they’ll notice if we sneak off,” you whispered. He let out a small chuckle.

     “I think we could start kissing and they wouldn’t even look our way.”

     You smirked, “Want to try out that theory?” Steve shook his head, a small smile adorning his lips as he took a sip of his coffee. “Fine, then. You can make it up to me by being my partner at tonight’s game night.”

     “I was going to be your partner either way. Neither of these goons are helpful. Unlike them, we’re a force to be reckoned with.” He lifted his mug towards yours, offering a cheers. You obliged.

     A buzz from your phone pulled you from your conversation. Natasha had sent you a text requesting your company in the training room. You sighed.

     “I’m sorry, my love, but I must go. Until tonight?” you spoke dramatically. “I’ll think about you every moment until I see you again.”

    “Okay, Y/N. I’ll see you later,” Steve chuckled.

***

     You rummaged through your desk. You could not find the damn thing you were looking for. The game night was starting in ten minutes, and Tony hated it when anybody was late. There was no time for this. A gasp left your mouth as you finally felt the familiar thread. It took you three minutes to run to the living room. After tripping more times than you’d like to admit, you finally slid into the already crowded room. 

     “I’m here! Suck it, Tony!” you spoke excitedly. 

     “It took you long enough.” Shaking your head, you made your way to sit on the arm of the chair Steve was sitting in.

     Natasha rolled her eyes, “No need to get angry already. So what’s the game for the night?”

     “I am glad you asked.” Tony stood up as he spoke. “I came to the conclusion that Monopoly and Poker can only be so fun for some of us. So I took it upon myself to get a new card game for the team game nights.”

     “Get on with it already,” Sam interrupted.

     “I’m getting there. After scouring the web, I found a game perfect enough to get the old men more acquainted to today’s culture. Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to introduce Cards Against Humanity to the team.” Tony held up the box proudly. You shook your head at his dramatic antics. “Like usual game night, You can be in pairs or by yourself. I’m pretending that somebody other than Steve and Y/N is going to want to work together. The first to ten points wins. Let’s play ball!”

     You turned to Steve as the cards were dealt and everyone got situated, “I brought us good luck charms.” The friendship bracelets were black. A small, four-leaf clover charm was positioned in the middle of each. Steve couldn’t stop from smiling.

     “You are such a dork,” he spoke, allowing you to tie the bracelet on his wrist.

     “You love it. Besides, you’d be losing every game night if it wasn’t for me.”

     “I can’t say you’re wrong.”

     The game was full of laughter and disgusted faces from Steve, who would occasionally have to ask you what one of your cards meant. His face would turn a cherry red when you whispered the licentious answer in his ear, mumbling a timid ‘oh’ in response. Natasha was winning so far, with you and Steve close behind. 

     “I vote we take an intermission,” Bruce said, “I need a break for snacks.”

     “I second that. I’ve needed to pee since four rounds in,” Sam exclaimed before rushing out of the room.

     The room dispersed as everyone went their own ways for the time being. You stood up and stretched. Turning, you reached your hand out to Steve to help him out of the chair.

     “This game is...fun?” he laughed. Your heart fluttered at the sound.

     “I could think of a few other fun things we could do. We’d just have to go to my room to do it,” you flirted with ease. “I’m sure Sam would love to take our point for us while we sneak off.”

     “Oh, really? Care to elaborate?” So he was going to play along now?

     You leaned in closer to him, your lips barely grazing his ear, “I think you know exactly what I’m talking about, Captain. I’ve told you plenty of information tonight that we could work with.”

     “Which on do you plan to start with?” With that, your facade broke. Steve never flirted back like this. He smirked down at you, “Cat got your tongue, doll?”

     “Date me, coward,” you couldn’t stop the words spilling out of your mouth. “I’ve been flirting with you for months, and I don’t think you quite understand that I’m in love with you. Just fucking ask me out already before I implode. Please don’t talk to me like that if you don’t mean it.” 

     Now the secret’s out. Your face heats up as the realization dawns on you. 

    “Are you free tomorrow night, then?”

    “Pardon?” your brows furrowed in confusion.

     “I’d like to take you on a date. Is that okay, love?”

    You smiled, “That’s more than okay.”

     “Game time!” Tony yelled as he walked into the room.

     You frowned, “I never got a snack, though.”

     “You should’ve thought about that before you and Cap decided to smooch while everyone was out of the room.” You rolled your eyes at him, flipping him off in the process.

     Everyone returned to their spots quickly. You took your seat on the arm of the chair, but Steve pulled you down onto his lap. A gasp fell from your lips. His arm wrapped around your waist as you lean into him. Game night became a little bit better.

Name: Nox Hethaway Age: 25 (May 5th 1995) Immortal - Stopped aging at 21 Nickname: Nox Gender: Female Sexuality: Straight Height: 5ft'4 Race: Demon/Succubus Ethnicity: British Looks: Short, messy raven hair falling into her right eye, Nox had the unique gift of having intense violet eyes that seemed to slightly shift in colour like the shimmering of liquid gold. The raven female mainly wears black, with articles of purple to accent her look. Whether it's a waterfall black cardigan with a purple tank top underneath which tends to be her signature look, or perhaps a purple plaid shirt, it seems that she truly favours darker shades of the spectrum that make up her 'aesthetic'. She might be seen wearing little red accents, due to her little crush for the colour.A purple, four leaf clover necklace hangs from her neck at all times, quite the important keepsake that she made with her own hands, and she has one ear pierced with a silver four leaf clover. Has the looks of a 21 year old. Key Personality Characteristics: Relaxed, Flirty, Sassy, Fiery, Enigmatic, Intuitive, Curious, Clever, Mature, Observant, Playful, Neutral, Thoughtful, Good Natured, Sympathetic, Faithful. About: Nox hadn't had the easiest of youths, and due to that case, in her younger days she was seen as a rather lazy and sassy female whom tended to throw insults at people, as well as ignore much of the population around her. However after certain events when she was eighteen, the female grew up to be a lot more mature and understanding to the situations around her. Perhaps whatever has happened, allowed her to open up to everything around her more? Nox is the type of a person that allows curiosity to get the best of her, yet she can be a delightful person to talk to at times. Having studied photography in University, Nox has a fairly keen eye to detail, seeming to pay attention to those around her more than the usual Joe. She can show a strong interest in things that catch her eye or amuse her, and her favourite past-time is playing her guitar. If you're a good listener and fascinated with life, it is very likely that Nox will take quite the liking in you. Likes/Interests: Night, Purple, Violets, Cats, Moon, Stars, Sky, Sunsets, Fire, Fireplaces, Music, Guitar, Hot Chocolate, Philosophy, Cafes, Streets, Photography, Darkness, Crows, Ravens, Streets, Heights, Cinnamon, Napping. Weaknesses: Cold! Nox can get very ill when in prolonged contact with cold, and any sort of frozen things, whether ice, icecream, or something like snow can cause her to get a fatal fever that can be difficult for her to get better from. Demons are known for their higher body temperatures, so imagine what happens when one goes into a feverish state!

Name: Charlavail Harelwood Age: 19 Appearance wise, 1,987-ish in reality. Nickname: Charlie, Charla, Char, Carla Gender: Female Sexuality: Straight Height: 5ft Race: Fallen Angel Ethnicity: British Looks: With her long, beautiful white hair and stormy grey eyes, Charlie can oftentimes be seen in a light blue shirt that's covered in stains of paint due to spending a lot of her time, well- Painting, alongside her white jeans. Sometimes a black cardigan can be covering the shirt, or perhaps she's wearing a hoodie with jeans when not in her usual, 'casual' painting clothes. One of her ears is pierced, and a silver feather earring tends to decorate it. Key Personality Characteristics: Stubborn, Violent, Sassy, Angry, Fierce, Firecracker, Bashful, Demolishing, Irritable, Sullen, Creative, Capable, Colourful, Blunt, Quirky with a sprinkle of sweetness. About: You'd think with age comes maturity, right? Wrong. Charlavail is a spitfire that can surprise most with her vivid personality. She used to be a lot more violent when she was younger, her stubborn streak really affecting how she treated those around her, however over a certain amount of time she began to learn to control her emotions at least to the point where things weren't always flying in the air whenever someone said something she didn't like. She's a pretty touchy girl when it comes to people mentioning her height, and it is rather likely that she will cuss you out if you're not careful, but it's kind of her charm, no? However don't let her fool you, she might be a fierce female but she has her own sweet side, if one gives her the chance to open up to them. Careful though, that's not an easy thing to achieve and it takes quite the mighty patience and steady hand to get to that point with her. It's worth it in the long run, though. Likes: Art, Paint,  Art Supplies, Studios, White Roses, Paint brushes, Feathers, Spring, Winter, Blue, White, Pink Milk, Pastel, Skies, Clouds, Stars, Forget-me-nots, Colours, Paris, Afternoons, Creativity, Dogs.    Suitable/Preferred partners: Angels, Fallens, Demons, Werewolves, Pets: A white cat called Halle.

Name: 'Kassidy' Kassandrea Smith Age: 23 [Immortal] Nickname: Kass Gender: Female Sexuality: Bisexual Height: 5ft'5 Race: Fox Shapeshifter/Goddess Ethnicity: British Looks: A very skater-girl style, Kass loves plaid shirts of all sorts and shades. Her long, dark red hair often covers one of her eyes a little, which have a fantastic and vivid green-y yellow tone to them that makes her stand out from the average 'human'. She has somewhat fair skin, yet not too pale showing that she perhaps spends a bit of time outside. On her left arm one can see two golden bracelets, which have interesting rune-like patterns on them, yet with no possible obvious way of taking them off. Perhaps hidden clips? Key Personality Characteristics: Easy-going, Playful, Witty, Daredevil, Boyish, Wild, Dynamic, Flirtatious, Bold, Smart, Likeable, Humorous, Frivolous, Genuine, Warm, Understanding, Optimistic, Protective, Non-committal. About: Kassidy is the kind of easygoing but extremely flirtatious female whom struggles with commitments. It's not easy for her to truly 'fall' for someone, and is often seen hanging out with different people over the week. She's simply not the type to sleep alone due to 'reasons', which may refer to the nightmares she tends to get at night when alone. She can be seen as a bit of a player, however Kassidy has a good-natured personality and often means no harm. Many people seem to like and gravitate towards her, perhaps because she's a fairly genuine yet playful person. She had a bit of a difficult past per say, but if questioned upon it, she might end up explaining why she's the way she is. Perhaps she'll settle one day, or maybe she won't; that's up to the future to hold. Kass does live a very 'All or nothing, nothing can bother me' sort of a life, however whether she truly feels that way on the inside or not, is up to one to find out by getting to know her more and perhaps spending more time with her than the usual person she hangs out with. Get close to her, and you might make a strong connection that you won't regret, but be prepared for moments of heat as well as seriousness. Kassidy after all, can be a little unpredictable. Likes: Coffe, Coffee Art, Cafes, Steamy Windows, Desserts, Forests, Skateboards, Wildness, Plaid Shirts, Animals, Sex, Music, Indie, Laughter, Good Atmosphere, Hippie, Bohemian, Sleep, Pizza, Red.  Suitable/Preferred partners: Shapeshifters, Deities, Demons, Pets: Maine Coon cat called Nala.

Name: Harper Jane Bryant Age: 23 [Immortal] Nickname: Jay, Harp Gender: Female Sexuality: Demisexual Height: 5ft'4 Race: Witch Ethnicity: Irish Looks: Somewhat tanned skin hinting to spending plenty of time outdoors, Harper has lively auburn hair that matches wonderfully with her hazel eyes. Her style is fairly modest and she tends to stick to long sleeved shirts for one reason or another. As far as seen, she has no piercings and doesn't add too much to her clothing, preferring simple styles. She can however be seen wearing a Tree of Life pendant with a tiny pentacle in the middle of the trunk. Key Personality Characteristics: Calm-seeming from a distance, Delicate, Anxious, Weary, Hostile, Cautious, Nervous, Hard-to-Approach, Pacifistic, Selfless, Subtle, Timid, Dependant, Intelligent, Kind, Sweet, Humble, Peaceful. About: The epitome of gentleness, Harper is a very sweet kind of a girl who cares about flora and fauna incredibly so. She's not really a 'cute' or 'shy' type per say, however she struggles with anxiety enough that some people pin her to be so. As a witch, she feels very in sync with nature around her, however her magic comes at a cost. It causes intense waves of anxiety and depression within the female whenever she uses it, and due to it she takes medication, which in turn weakens the magic within her to something far more manageable. It doesn't help that the female had a rough past that involved abandonment issues in her past due to what she is, which causes communication to be incredibly hard with her unless one is willing to show her that she's safe and that they're trustworthy. She's truly one of the kindest person to be around though, and she has such a deep love for the world around her. She can be rather clingy towards Kassidy, whom she has known for a few years and had been looked after for the time, which the Goddess is rather fond of. Likes: Flora, Fauna, Herbs, Cooking, Kitchen, Gardens, Warmth, Sunshine, Tea, Quiet time, Books, Comfort, Notebooks, Windows, Seasons, Fairytales, Gentleness, Greenhouses, Trees, Crystals, Green, Outdoors.     Suitable/Preferred partners: Witches, Shapeshifters, Humans, Pets: Cats (?)

Chapter Fifteen (FMITN Book One)

Three days later it was time and Jessica’s stomach was in knots and her nerves riding high. But this was it. Taking a deep breath she waited to be introduced by the principal. 

“Now, it is a great honor to welcome this years Valedictorian Miss Jessica Hardy!’ Slowly she approached the podium, closed her eyes and began to speak.

“Families, friends and faculty welcome to this year's graduation ceremony. I would like to start off by thanking those who felt that I was a good fit to give this speech. I'll do my best to try and deliver it with grace and try not let my nerves get the best of me.” Jessica let a chuckle out as she countied.

“Today is a very special day, one we will hopefully l remember for a long time to come. We’re stretching our wings and leaving the safety of  high school behind.” She looked out in the crowd at everyone's family members, friends, and the faculty members who all helped shape the students behind her. “Some of us will pursue higher education, and others for the workforce whatever it may be I wish you all the best as you embark on this new chapter in your lives” Jessica took a shuddered breath trying to keep her composure. Taking in a deep breath she could smell two familiar scents but couldn’t spot them in the crowd of people. “ No matter where I am I’ll remember the people who reached out to me and helped make high school a good experience. Not only are there memories that we have made for a life time but also great friends in my case I met a very special friend.” Jessica smiles looking down at Finn who sends her a wink as she continues reading her speech.

“As you go out into the world I would like to ask that you remember our schools motto, always believe in yourself, your abilities and dreams. You can shoot for anything and if you truly believe you can do it, then you have a larger chance of achieving it. Thank you to the teachers and faculty that took time out of their lives to help teach us, even when some weren’t that easy to teach.” Jessica looked over at Mrs. Sanders a teacher that she knew Finn gave nothing but trouble to and laughed.  “I wish you all the best in life and can only hope that you go on to do great things with your lives. Congratulations class! We did it!” Jessica smiled brightly and took a bow before walking back over to Finn and sat down. Leaning over Finn kisser her cheek and whispered “You did so well little gem, we’re all proud of you.” 

The ceremony  went on, students being called up for their diplomas, families and friends in the crowd cheering, taking pictures. 

“Jessica Hardy.” Jess stood up straightening out her gown, and walked towards the principal, shook his hand,grabbed her diploma and looked out at the crowd, this time though she saw her brothers, and she nearly cried. She took a deep breath, held her head high and walked back to her seat, with tears ready to fall. She hadn’t expected them to come, she knew their schedule was busy, but the fact that they were there, the fact that she heard her speech, her heart flooded with warmth and love. She gave Finn a kiss on the cheek, knowing he had to have known about her brothers coming.Once the last student was called they all stood and threw their caps in the air, before walking.

Going to return their gowns, Jessica came back looking for Finn, Matt, and Jeff, who were all talking. Jessica jumped on Matt’s back and gave him a kiss on the cheek before getting down and hugging Jeff. “I can’t believe you guys actually made it! Thank you, thank you so much for coming!” Jessica squealed, and her brothers laughed. 

“Come on little one lets get home, we have something important to talk about.” Jeff said nodding his head towards the door. Jesse’s smile faltered a bit but she nodded and left with her brothers and Finn. The drive home was quiet and almost uncomfortably heavy. Jessica was afraid of what was to come. She had spent the last year and half practically only with Finn, before Bayley and Ricochet came along a few months ago. Once home they all went inside. Jess couldn’t take it anymore.

“So what’s going on?” She looked between Matt, Jeff, and Finn. Trying to not freak out. Jeff stepped forward looking down at his sister. Seriously by now she should have been taller than she was, but nope still a short four foot eleven inches. She shuffled her feet waiting for someone to speak. Jeff cleared his throat, it was now or never.

“Jessie, you know how we’ve been doing small shows and tours with the local wrestling promotion for awhile now” She looked up at her brother and nodded her head, indicating for him to keep going. “Well we were scouted a few months back by a big promotion and offered positions with them, but we explained we wanted to wait till you at least graduated from high school before accepting.” Jeff smiled at his sister as Matt wrapped his arms around her holding her tight. “ You see we’ll start with them in September once you’ve started college at AMU. This is huge for the family, and if we do well enough we might be able to get you into the company too. It works for everyone. Just…” he trailed off knowing his next part was the hardest. “...it's just we’ll be around even less then we were with the local group, but the money is good, and so is everything else. They have other creatures and beings like us, in fact it's mostly creatures and begins. Little one please don’t cry, I promise we’ll be around when can be, and we’ll see you when we have shows near your college.” For Jess it was bad enough the college she was going to was in Florida and not North Carolina but now she really had no reason to come home ever again, and what if her brothers forgot about her all together? Was that even possible.

“Lass, listen, I’m going with them, we’re going to be apart of WWE, and you know Bayley and Ricochet will keep me updated on you, and I will keep your brothers informed as well” Finn kissed Jessica’s forehead. “ Ní dhéanfaidh muid dearmad ort riamh, beidh tú inár gcroí agus inár n-intinn i gcónaí. (Irish: We'll never forget you, you'll always be in our hearts and minds.)” Nodding Jessica smiles, after all this was a great thing for her friend and her brothers. Wiping the tears from her eyes and face she looks at each of the men standing in front of her.

“I’m so very proud of each and everyone of you. You truly are following your dreams and I know you’ll each do great. I know we won’t see each other anymore, but that’s okay…”She starts to cry again “...its okay because you’re doing what you need to. One day...One day maybe I’ll be lucky enough to join and work backstage, maybe I’ll go elsewhere, just promise to at least call once a month?” She smiles sadly at her brothers and best friend. Jeff engulfs his sister in a bone crushing hug, stroking her hair. 

“Little one, we will see each other, I promise you we will, and me and Matt will definitely call at least once a week! Will you watch our matches?” Jeff knows Jessica always watches WWE but he wants to hear her actually say she’ll watch for them, he wants her to know she won’t be forgotten, she will be loved even if they’re thousands of miles away, she'll always be apart of them. His inner wolf is heartbroken at leaving little omega and doesn’t want to,  but knows that she’ll be safe, and that IF she was ever in trouble they’d be there without question. Feeling Jess nod her head ‘yes’ Jeff sighs. He breaks the embrace, and has her sit down. 

Finn takes out his box first, and hands it to Jessica, looking at the box then Finn she raises an eyebrow. He chuckles “Just open it little gem.” opening the box reveals and four leaf clover charm for her bracelet. Which Finn than secures to the bracelet. “Its for luck. May you have all you need and more my little gem.” Finn stands up and Matt takes his place, side hugging his sister and giving her a box as well.

Opening the box reveals an odd looking leaf with a face. Jessica confused by it looks at Matt. 

“Its the Greenman, It is primarily interpreted as a symbol of rebirth, representing the cycle of growth each spring. Even though you’re new growth will begin in September, I thought it was fitting.” Matt smiles and kisses the side of his sister head, while securing the new charm to her bracelet. Standing up it was now Jeff’s turn. He played with his box, he knew it was a symbol with great meaning, he just hoped Jess would understand. He smiled at his young sister and handed the box to her.

Jeff’s box revealed a tree in a circle with branching reaching up, and roots going down. 

“It’s the tree of life. It symbolizes a connection to everything, The Tree of Life commonly represents the interconnectedness of everything in the universe. It symbolizes togetherness and serves as a reminder that you are never alone or isolated, but rather that you are connected to the world. The roots of the Tree of Life dig deep and spread into the earth, thereby accepting nourishment from Mother Earth, and its branches reach up into the sky, accepting energy from the sun and moon. I thought it was perfect for you.” Once again securing the new charm to her bracelet, she hugs him tight. She understood fully why he picked that piece, in fact she understood why each one of them picked their pieces. 

She knew her family would always be there for her. Whether near or far, and she was blessed enough to have such incredible people in her life like them. However, knowing she only had two and a half months before she had to be at Attwell Mystical University she really needed to get ready, get packed, and buy supplies. But that could wait until morning, tonight she was going to enjoy the company of her brothers, and yes that included the one and only Finn Balor.Tonight was about, them, pizza, movies and just being together.  Morning soon came and Jess began packing her less used items, while keeping a checklist of what was needed to be done, and picked up. The next two and a half months were not going to be fun.

Amulet / Charm / Talisman

An amulet is any object (usually small in size) intended to bring good luck and/or protection to its owner, or any object believed to hold magical properties that can protect against bad luck, illness and evil. It may be used for specific purposes, or just for general good luck. Potential amulets include gems, crystals, simple stones, statues, coins, drawings, diagrams, pendants, rings, plants, animals, even words. They are often worn as a necklace or pendant, although they can be worn anywhere (the closer to the body they are worn, the more powerful their magic is believed to be).

A talisman is also an object that possesses magical or supernatural power, and there is much debate on the exact difference between an amulet and a talisman. Some argue that the power of a talisman is of a greater magnitude, or that a talisman is able to be magically charged and to transmit its power to its owner or wielder, or that a talisman is used for specific, rather than general, purposes. They are usually more complicated affairs than amulets, often involving carved or engraved figures, or bearing magical symbols or inscriptions in gold, etc. Generally, talismans are not worn, but may be carried in a pocket or purse, or kept near the object they are intended to benefit (e.g. tacked over a child's bed). When linked with an appropriate spell, they greatly increase its strength, although they can also be used alone, for their intrinsic magic is considered powerful.

Charms are generally items of folk magic and superstitions, such as a lucky horseshoe, a four-leaf clover, a rabbit’s foot, a baby’s caul or a bracelet of personal charms signifying important things in the wearer's life. A charm can also be used to refer to a simple verbal spell.

Charms, amulets and talismans have been used in folklore in all parts of the world and throughout history, from the hamsa (or “Hand of Fatima”) and nazar (or “blue eye stone”) used to protect against the evil eye in Arab countries, to the “gris-gris” used in Vodou as charms for good luck or protection, to the “cold-stones” (small rounded beach pebbles, painted with dots, wavy lines and geometric shapes) that were held to cure sickness in animals and humans by the Pictish tribes of northern Scotland. “Touch pieces” (coins and medals, especially those with holes in them or those with particular designs) were believed to cure disease, bring good luck and influence people’s behavior since Roman times; pendants in the magically potent shape of a pyramid pointing to the gods (often colored black and white to express the opposition of good and evil) were worn in Asia Minor; an exaggerated apotropaic eye was painted on Greek drinking vessels as early as the 6th Century B.C. to ward off evil spirits while drinking; an amulet formed from the natural knot-hole of a tree branch was used in magic-making in medieval rural England. Possibly the most powerful talisman in modern witchcraft and Wicca is the pentacle.

In many societies, religious objects serve (or have served) as amulets, such as the figure of a certain god or some symbol representing the deity (e.g. the cross for Christians, the Buddha pendant, the "eye of Horus", the “eye of Ra” or the "ankh" symbol for the ancient Egyptians). In demonology and Satanism, an inverted cross or a pentagram in downward position are amulets used when communicating with demons.

Precious and semi-precious stones and crystals are commonly used in amulets and talismans, each stone having its specific significance and power (e.g. amber wards off evil spirits and protects against rheumatism; aquamarine brings love, hope to the oppressed and protects travelers; diamond repels wild beasts and evil men, and ensures fidelity in a lover; emerald strengthens the memory and prevents possession by evil spirits; garnet brings good health and protects against nightmares; lapis lazuli, like all blue stones, protects against black magic and wards off melancholy and insomnia; onyx protects a marriage from intruders; pearl improves the skin, cures fevers and brings tranquility; sapphire brings peace and happiness and protects the eyes; topaz helps to locate buried treasure; turquoise brings peace to married life; etc.).

Different symbols and shapes are also considered to have different magical properties. For example, the shape of a bee brings success in business; a black cat is one of the best all-around good luck charms known to witchcraft (contrary to popular superstition); anything egg-shaped brings good luck and is a powerful fertility charm; a fish brings a large family, especially if cast in gold or mother of pearl; a stone arrowhead is a powerful force against evil spirits; the shape of a hand is another powerful charm against evil spirits; anything in the shape of a sacred oak tree, or a piece of oak itself, is lucky; the shape of a pig is a potent bearer of fertility; the form of a serpent brings long life and wisdom; etc.

Many amulets and talismans are made from letters or numbers that may appear meaningless, but are believed give off excellent vibrations, and they can be powerful magical aids.

Thor’s Hammer - Mjolnir

Mjolnir means lightning, and Thor’s hammer indicates the god’s power over thunder and lightning. Thor, ancient god of war is one of the most prominent figures in Norse mythology. Thor who was the storm-weather god of sky and thunder and also a fertility god, was the son of Odin and Fyorgyn, the earth goddess.

Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir is depicted in Norse mythology as one of the most fearsome weapons, capable of leveling mountains. One Norse story tells what happened when he lost his precious hammer.

Mjolnir was a magical weapon that always came back to Thor when he threw it. Wearing Thor’s hammer as an amulet of protection was quite common as this was probably the most popular of all the pagan Viking symbols. Even during Christian times, from A.D. 1000 on, Vikings wore Thor’s Mjolnir as well as a cross on a chain or thong around their necks.

Yggdrasil - Norse Tree Of Life

In Norse mythology, the Yggdrasil is a giant mythological tree that holds together the Nine Worlds or realms of existence.

At the very top of Yggdrasil, an eagle lived and at the bottom of the tree lived a dragon named Nidhug. Both hated each other and were bitter enemies. The Nine Worlds are guarded by the serpent Jormungandr. Yggdrasil is one of many variations of the Cosmic Axis or Universal World Tree known to all human cultures and home to many fascinating creatures.

The image of Yggdrasil appears on the famous Överhogdal Tapestry, which dates to the year 1066 and depicts the events of Ragnarök, the doom of the Gods and apocalyptic record of the coming comet. Read more

Valknut – Viking Symbol For Death In A Battle

The Valknut, also known as Hrungnir’s heart, heart of the slain, Heart of Vala, and borromean triangles is a mysterious Norse symbol. its true meaning is still debated, but it is often associated with a warrior’s death in a battle.

The symbol has been found on old Norse stone carvings and funerary steles. It is sometimes called “Hrungnir’s heart,” after the legendary giant of the Eddas. It's also possible to find a depiction of the Valknut on stone carvings as a funerary motif, where it probably signified the afterlife. In art, the Valknut is a representation of God Odin, and it demonstrates gods’ power over death. A Valknut is also believed to offer protection against spirits which is the reason why it is often carried as a talisman.

A Valknut is made of three parts, and the number three is a very common magic symbol in many cultures. In this case, the symbolism in Norse mythology showing three multiplied by three might designate the nine worlds, which are united by the Yggdrasil tree. In modern times Valknut, like Triquetra and Horn Triskelion, is often interpreted as a symbol pointing to heathen convictions.

Helm of Awe

The Helm of Awe is one of the most powerful protective symbols used not only for the purpose of protection from disease, but even to encourage all people who might suffer from depression or anxiety.

In Norse myths it is said that the Helm of Awe symbol was worn between the eyes to cause fear in your enemies, and to protect against the abuse of power. The Norse word for this very important symbol (Ægishjálmr or Aegishjalmur) is translated in English "helm of awe" or "helm of terror." The meaning of the name awe is to strike with fear and reverence; to influence by fear, terror or respect; as, his majesty awed them into silence.

Huginn And Muninn – The Twin Ravens In Norse Mythology

Among the Aesir gods in Norse mythology, the supreme god Odin, is frequently depicted sitting on his high seat, Hlidskjalf, in Asgard, the home of the gods.

Odin always has his two raven companions, Hugin (Huginn) and Munin (Munnin) on his shoulders.

Hugin is believed to represent ‘memory’, while Munin personifies ‘thought’. Every day, Odin sends them out and they fly across the worlds to seek for important news and events. Odin surveys the worlds from Hlidskjalf and must know reports of what is going on in all Nine Worlds. In the evening, Hugin and Munin return to Odin’s shoulders and during dinner in Valhalla, they whisper all they have heard in his ears.

Web Of Wyrd (Skuld’s Net) – Viking Matrix Of Fate

In Norse mythology the concept of fate is reflected by the Web of Wyrd that is created by the Norns who were known as ‘Shapers of Destiny. The Norns were goddesses who ruled the fates of people, determined the destinies and lifespans of individuals.

With its nine stave, the Web of Wyrd is a matrix of fate that represents past, present and future events in a person’s life. Norse people believed that everything we do in life affects future events and thus, all timelines, the past, present and future are connected with each other.

Troll Cross – Norse Symbol Protecing Against Trolls And Elves

The troll cross is an amulet made of a circle of iron crossed at the bottom in a shape of an odal rune. It was worn by Scandinavian people as a protection against trolls and elves.

The Triple Horn Of Odin

The Triple Horn of Odin is yet another symbol of the great Norse God Odin. The symbol consists of three interlocked drinking horns and is commonly worn or displayed as a sign of commitment to the modern Asatru faith. The horns figure in the mythological stories of Odin and are recalled in traditional Norse toasting rituals. In Norse mythology there are some tales describing God’s quest for the Odhroerir, a magical mead brewed from the blood of the wise god Kvasir. There are several account of the tale, but typically, Odin uses his wits and magic to procure the brew over three days’ time; the three horns reflect the three draughts of the magical mead.

Gungnir – The Spear Of Odin

Gungnir was a magical weapon created by the dwarves and given to Odin by Loki. The Gungnir never missed its mark and like Mjölnir, the hammer of Thor, it always returned to Odin.

Vegvisir – Runic Compass

Vegvisir is among the oldest and sacred Norse symbols and it initially originated from Iceland, where ‘Vegur' means - road or path and ‘Vísir’ means – Guide. The symbol was frequently inscribed on seagoing vessels to insure their safe return home.

The device was believed to show the way back home and protect seamen and their ships from storms. The Vegvisir was like a guide helping its bearer to find his way home. Norse people believed that the Vegvisir had special powers and it was treated like talisman for luck, protection and blessings. This powerful symbol could help a person to find the right way in storms or bad weather whatever unfamiliar surroundings he or she may encounter.

It has also long played an important role among people who believe in magic powers, such as Norse Shamans. As a spiritual compass, this magical device guides your heart and steps to make the right choices in life. If you have lost yourself and your faith, this sacred symbol helps you find confidence again.

Inspirational Bracelets and the Symbolism Behind Them

Bracelets and the Symbolism Behind Them

Bracelets have historically been worn as a form of protection against harmful spirits or the sun, as a visible indication of marital status, and to hasten the transition from winter to spring. Even though they are now considered a fashion accessory, bracelets frequently carry personal significance for the user. Everybody is aware that bracelets are ornaments with a strong connection to style. Men and women both use it to highlight their unique distinctive styles.

But did you know that bracelets, like all jewelry, have a variety of symbolic meanings? Check out this post for more information on bracelets, which we frequently wear.

Charm Bracelets

Many females prefer charm bracelets. Because it is simple to combine with any clothing and gives users a sophisticated appearance. It also has a deeper meaning, which changes depending on how the bracelet is fashioned. An anchor-adorned bracelet serves as an illustration. This can represent the person's personality. The individual is trustworthy, dependable, and steady. These charms typically come in the shape of lucky symbols, such as a wishbone, horseshoe, or even a three-leaf clover. These tiny charms return the bracelet's significance to its original purpose, which was the idea of bringing good fortune. Ancient cultures thought that wearing charms might ward off evil or bring good fortune. Charms were used in ancient Egypt as lucky and religious symbols, as well as for identification. Additionally, charms were used to identify a person to the gods in the afterlife. Christians used miniature fish charms concealed in their garments during the Roman Empire to distinguish themselves from non-Christians. Charms serve as empowering reminders of one's identity and life experiences, whether they feature a heart, a lucky four-leaf clover, a birthstone, or a moon. Additionally, they provide the desired level of personalization, allowing them to bind charms to unique or sentimental symbols.

Friendship Bracelets

The most common use of a bracelet is as a relationship symbol. Friendship bracelets are extremely popular, especially among teenagers, as they are believed to solidify and strengthen friendship bonds. A friendship bracelet gives you a sense of exclusivity and represents the endless cycle of the unique relationship you share with your friend. By custom, one places a bracelet on a friend's wrist as a sign of friendship and may make a wish at that time. Wearing the bracelet symbolizes respect for the time, effort, and love invested in their connection. It's lovely that a bracelet might represent friendship. One wish may be granted to the receiver.

These braided beauties may have caught your eye in your favorite department stores or on the glittering Dior runways, or perhaps you've only learned about the revival of this vintage jewelry style now.

String Bracelets

People typically wear string bracelets with one or two strings whenever they make wishes. It is said that you should make a wish, wrap it around your wrist, and tie a knot in it before or after. And it is thought that your desire will come true when the bracelet's string or knot slips off or loosens over time. The Red String Bracelet is worn for luck and protection in Kabbalah, a mystical branch of Judaism. The concept, which is firmly linked to warding off the evil eye, is thought to have originated from ancient Hebrew scriptures. Buddhist rituals sometimes involve tying a string around one's wrist. Some misconceptions claim that you should never take off the string bracelet. Negative energy lurking around you would have an impact on you if you did that. Not entirely true. However, because they are seen as impure, you must remove them momentarily when using the restroom or having a romantic encounter. If your red string bracelet comes off, it has completed its purpose. Any of the following scenarios could occur: Either they have been exposed to enough negative energy to resist more. Or you've accomplished the goal you had in mind when you originally put it on.

Beaded Bracelets

Beaded bracelets are thought to bestow luck and energy to their wearers. It was also thought that the color of the beads affected the bracelet's symbolism and its meaning. One illustration is a lavender beaded necklace, which is claimed to calm the wearer's thoughts and relieve tension. Lavender is a color that represents creativity. Black beads are thought to promote confusion and clarity while protecting harmful energy and negativity. Beads also have stabilizing benefits; they help you become stronger, more compassionate, and more perceptive. Beads typically represent good things like security, kinship, growth, luck, etc. Black has always been associated with masculinity, which is why black bead bracelets for men are so well-liked. Black beaded bracelets are popular among men for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that they add a wonderful finishing touch to any outfit and go with virtually anything, from all-black ensembles to the brightest selections. Black pearls also complement all skin tones beautifully. In other words, the bracelet with black pearls is a safe bet.

Gemstone Bracelets

Bracelets rarely contain gemstones. However, it continues to have that wonderful visual appeal that so many people enjoy. People frequently match the diamond they buy with their birth month. There are many ideas about selecting the correct gemstones that we inherited from our ancestors and still hold dear now. However, wearing your birthstone indeed brings you luck and prosperity.

Many people find that wearing a healing bracelet made of semiprecious stones is an effective approach to shield, purify, and let go of any negative energy that could be keeping them stuck in a rut.

since it’s the 1st of March we celebrated Mărțisor and now i’m not gonna explain the entire tradition but part of it is gifting those lucky charms ( it can be a pin, an elastic bracelet or just a thingy, usually with a luck symbol such as clovers, chimney sweepers and ladybugs or snowdrops, but really they can be anything ). The thing that makes a mărțisor more than a random charm is the specific red and white string (tied to a legend im not gonna elaborate on). anyways men are supposed to offer them to women and,in some regions, it’s customary for women to also give men those red and white strings to tie around their wrists. in other regions you tie the strings in trees to assure they bloom soon. but that’s besides the point.

this entire intro was just for me to show off some of the bee mărțișoare i mare for all of my classmates :D
