#Lillith in the 10th house

[samanthasgone]

It’s fun being a Scorpio rising / ascendant with Lillith in 10th house. 🙃

( I love being a Scorpio ascendant btw ) ♏️ 🦂

𝓔𝓻𝓸𝓼 𝓹𝓮𝓻𝓼𝓸𝓷𝓪 𝓬𝓱𝓪𝓻𝓽 𝓸𝓫𝓼𝓮𝓻𝓿𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷𝓼 ❤️‍🔥✨

🔞Tw: Mentions of sex •what is eros? It is our raw sexual eroticism, sexual desire, how we act during sex, our sex appeal and what turns us on.

•code in astro.com: 433

The ascendant in this chart indicates our sex appeal, how sexual and seductive we look. Eg: Scorpio ascendant in this chart can enhance a person's sex appeal. This person oozes sex appeal and people would have to turn and look back thrice cuz they look THAT sexy. High sex appeal indicator and their body is *chef's kiss*.

Having leo placements in this chart can often indicate that the person is into stripping or can be really good strippers. Sex for them is like putting on a show and being sexy.

Part of fortune in leo in the 10th house can indicate that a person can be rich by being a stripper, pornstar, etc. They might also attract alot of sexual attention and have a magnetising aura.

10th house placements/ stellium in the chart often indicates that the person looks appealing to the public. They might have a reputation of being a sex symbol.

Lilith in the 10th house in the chart might often get sexualised or slut shamed alot by people.

Capricorn ascendant give off daddy dom vibes. I also feel like people with this placement are not very much into hookups and they are loyal when they’re in love.

People with scorpio and leo placements in this chart are THE SEXIEST mfs alive cuz these are two of the most sexual and erotic signs in the zodiac. They look hot when you fuck them from the back, they look hot when you fuck them from the front. THEY LOOK SEXY ALL THE TIME! Very sexually appealing and magnetic people. These people can be pretty good at belly dancing or dancing very sensually.

20° or 8° at venus are sexually dominant, SEDUCTIVE and very alluring. They have siren eyes fs.

Sun conjunct jupiter in leo, aries or scorpio can bless a person with immense sex appeal and their sex drive is off the charts. Very high sex drive and stamina and i also feel like they’re powerful in bed 💥.

Taurus/Scorpio mars in the chart indicates that a person is very sensual during sex. They might be into those sensual oil massages (esp taurus mars) 👀.

Venus conjunct/trine pluto can also give a person siren eyes. They are possessive of their partners. They are intense and very passionate while having sex.

Jupiter conjunct ascendant looks very majestic sexually. This placement might give someone big genitals and since jupiter is the planet of expansion, these people might have an immense sex appeal or can attract alot of sexual attention.

Saturn conjunct MC is a dom i dont make the rules 🫡🫦.

Astrology Observations: Lunar & Solar Return Notes Editon!

* these are strictly from my (recent) lunar & solar returns *

• Leo Mercury in the 8th house, I was researching Robert Greene’s work. specifically his books on the power of seduction and 48 laws of power. doing research on how to be seductive or have an alluring, magnetic personality. realized I have very low self esteem and I wanted to take my power back in some way and become more confident. 👩🏾‍🎤

• every time I had Aquarius 4th H moon in a Solar return and 4th H in Aquarius or moon in Aquarius degree during a Lunar return, I moved homes or was either physically, mentally, or emotionally distant from my family. 🏡

• when Leo Venus shows up for me, I always get the spontaneous feeling to change up my hair dramatically. 💇🏾‍♀️

• I had Cancer Sun & Venus in the 7th house in my July lunar return in Leo 5th degree, and a lot of Cancer men wanted to get to know me that month. literally every man that asked for my number or tried to get at me was a Cancer sun and I don’t typically attract them, only Libras. 😭

• Virgo rising wasn’t necessarily a “busy” month or year for me, but I was way more organized, on top of my routine, and definitely way more into being hygienic and attention to detail in my everyday aesthetic. It made my life easier. 📝

• I had Gemini 10th house stellium in my June lunar return and I had the epiphany and prepped of turning my hobby of writing books into my career. 👩🏾‍💻

• Lillith in the 9th house had me questioning my belief system. a period of my life where I thought spirituality is bs. my faith was tested and still is. it left me with controversial thoughts. 🙇🏾

• every time I get Leo placements in the 10th house it always results into automatic popularity for me. 📸

• Leo and Cancer placements in the 3rd house encourages easy conversations with others. everybody naturally wanted to speak with me. 👩‍👩‍👧‍👧

• Mars in 9th house had me researching and desiring wanting to go back school but also pick up three different certifications and trades all at the same time and maybe even change my job or move to Belize to stay with my father. 📚🌏

well, that’s all folks! see you next time!

Sirenas Astrology observations

• moon hard aspects to mercury could be an indicator for having a hard time expressing your emotions verbally. Not having words of affirmation as a love language or having a hard time giving and receiving compliments or loving words. The type of person who says “I don’t have to say I love you everyday , I rather show it”

• the placement you have Aphrodite in can tell you how you can enhance your feminine energy and feel more beautiful inside and out. For example having Aphrodite in taurus could mean that cooking and taking more time to rest will make you feel better and nourished. Aphrodite in gemini needs to socialize and read or write to flourish in their feminine energy better

• people with permanent 10th house placements are known even when they’re not socializing much. They’re the type of person who don’t know many people but many people know them. It’s hard to ignore their presence, even when they don’t do anything

• People with mars in the 10th house tend to attract many people. Even people who hate them get obsessed with them and try to humbled them as much as possible. People with this placement don’t realize how intimidating their presence is and people see them as constant competition. Selena Gomez has this placement and we all know how other celebrities and even fan basis treat her even though she doesn’t do anything actively to provoke them. Honestly taking care of her mental health and not letting anybody humble her was the best decision she could have made for herself

• psyche in synastry can tell you about what you really need in a relationship in order to feel happy and fulfilled and become a better person. With your psyche placement you can learn on which parts you have to work on yourself too. With this placement it’s less about the physical intimacy and more about the intellectual and emotional intimacy of two souls coming together

• people with many 12th house placements tend to take criticism really personal and don’t like hearing it at all since they already have a hard time accepting themselves. They also struggle with feeling seen and appreciated even when people try to make them feel good, it’s never enough because they often lack self validation

• People with virgo placements take working out and looking fit really serious. I never meet a person with virgo placements who didn’t care about their physical appearance

• Having Mars in 4th house conjunct to the north node is a huge indicator of generational trauma that has been passing on in the family a lot. And this could bother the natal person a lot and it can cause friction in the family dynamic when they try to heal from that trauma and break the cycle

• Lillith shows up as the part of yourself that society has tried to repress or make you feel ashamed of. If it’s for example in the 3th house, you could have been told a lot to not share your views or opinions. Or people made fun of your voice growing up. You can take back your power by becoming more confident and expressing these parts of yourself freely

• Women who have Lillith conjunct sun and or asc often use their appearance and sexuality as a way to get what they want. For example Megan Thee Stellion has Lillith in Taurus conjunct her asc and she’s known for her beautiful and hot appearance and her lyrics where she also talks a lot about sex. Marylin Monroe also has Lillith in the first house, I didn’t need to explain how influential her appearance and sensuality is in the media to this day

• people with Lillith conjunct their first house tend to have sanpaku eyes too, here’s a reference:

• Neptune in the chart shows you the part of life where you have to be more firm with your boundaries and don’t overshare because Neptune indistincts your intuition. For example if you have Neptune in the 11th house don’t force connections or friendships, don’t overshare to your friends and be really firm with your boundaries because you tend to let people cross over the line too much. Also don’t expect all of your friends to have the same intentions as you do, some people just want to use you or dim your light so be careful and stay safe

• The planet your sun is conjunct to can be a part of your life where you feel more confident and you don’t like it when people tell you what to do. For example if your sun is conjunct your venus you tend to make the first move when you like someone and you don’t like it when someone tells you that this person is out of your league or you can’t get them to like you. Ego and love go hand in hand with this aspect

Astro observations p2

(with some kinky ones...)

1. Capricorn and Gemini can work really well as lovers If the Gemini has personal planets in 10th or 4th, or the capricorn has Gemini or sag ASC.

2. Synastry of birth charts can show primal connection and challenges that can be in the way for understanding. But things that are going on, and can influence as much as the birth charts are in the progressed. So you might see how the progressed synastry goes, since its going to show you how you are in sync right now, and not the day you born.

3. Aquarius rising have large shoulders and are curvy.

4. 4th placements and lillith in cancer can show a kink for breasts, and in case of women, really sensitive nipples.

5. Synastry with 10th house stellium, If your Mars are not in sync, doesn't matter how you try, the relationship Will never be sexually fulfilling.

6. Leos are drama queens. Leos with cancer moon can be the most manipulative people thru drama. Leos with pisces moons are childish but do not do things to hurt people on purpose.

7. 7th house in virgo people can be on and off people. The ones that dont know If they are extroverts or introverts, they change over life.

8. ASC almost on cusp absorb elements of the other sign and have 2 signs per house. The planets are clear, but the sensitive points of the chart (IC,DC,MC) can go both ways as well.

My Astro Intro ✨

You can call me Helen. (they/he) I'm 24 year old Burmese Enby Queer who's stuck in coupvid hell of Myanmar. I never wanted to run a blog, let alone an astrology blog but I have ran out of people to talk about astrology with so here I am. I'm gonna introduce my placements and talk about them a bit. If you have any thoughts about my placements, chat me up!

Capricorn Sun in 9th House and Capricorn Midheaven - Hardworking. Ambitious. Skeptical. Fluctuating between egotastical and insecure most of the time. All that jazz but with some 9H flavor so now I'm here talking about astrology on tumblr.

Virgo Moon in 5th House - Critical. Caring. I love, love, love helping other people. One of my dreams is to become a writer and writing stories as gifts for other people gives me so much joy. Sometimes need to be needed.

Taurus Rising with Saturn 1H - I am fixed and earth dominant so I tend to identify a lot with this placement. Patient. Easily annoyed. I react very slowly to change and I struggle a lot with my identity and my image etc. But I love it. I love working hard to gain something.

Sagittarius Mercury and Pluto in 8H - These placements are the reason I got into astrology. I'm very interested in psychology and I love to see what makes people tick. I also have Chiron and Lillith 8H so this is a big theme for my life. Because of my Sag Mercury, I love languages, literature etc. I speak 5 languages and work as a translator, writer, language instructor... I've lived a long life in a very short time.

Scorpio Venus in 7th House - I never gave much thought to this placement until recently but holy shit, the amount of women I know is insane. I have like 40 friends (using this term lightly) with heavy Scorpio placements and they're all women. Also, relationships with people affect me so much. I've learned so many lessons because of this placement.

Aquarius Mars, Neptune, Uranus in 11th/10th House - I've seen someone said "Aquarius stelliums will literally throw hands with you if you tell them you don't vote" and just weeks before that, I broke off with a friend because of the same reason. It's also the reason I started believing in astrology tbh. I like mental debates. I like fighting for social justice. My friends are very active and ambitous and socially aware as well. About Uranus and Neptune... Well. I've had five careers/jobs so far and I'm only 21. You get how it is.

Aries Jupiter in 12th House - One of my favorite placements! Jupiter in 12th House is known as Guardian Angel placement because it gives you hidden luck, even when you don't ask for it and that's exactly how it is to me. I just help people and take risks and get lucky all the time. I also recently found out I actually have a Spirit Guardian and she's a Celestial. Mind. Blown. I nearly cried that day.

Obviously, I have an Earth dominant chart with moderate fire and air placements but with only one water planet so sometimes, I don't know what's going on with my emotions. Planet-wise, I'm Uranus dominant with strong Jupiter and Saturn dominance. Yes, I know. If I use traditional rulership, I'm probably a Saturnian through and through but I really like modern rulerships!

For the aspects, I'm only gonna talk about one. I have a fixed T-square with my Aquarius Neptune, Taurus Saturn and Leo North Node. A lot of internal conflicts. Leo North Node 4H is probably the reason I love found family tropes but instead of trying to actually build that dream family life, I'd rather daydream and write stories about it. I have a lot of Saturn dominance so my Taurus Saturn really tries to keep it all together. I'm 21 and falling apart but it's all great!

I also have interesting (read: academically interesting but personally annoying/confusing) aspects like Moon square Mercury, Lillith conjunct Mercury, Moon square Pluto and Venus square Mars. I have other things like Jupiter conjunct Ascendant but honestly, I don't like to talk about my positive aspects. I prefer to pick out my negative aspects/problems and battle it out. After all, I'm a Caprisun through and through.

That's my intro for now! I'll start doing astrology posts and pick a pile readings et cetera. Truly can't wait to interact with and learn from y'all.

Astro story time!!

"My ex can't stop thinking about me and is madly in love, but we broke up one year ago."

We started our relationship online, and we instantly get well and fell in love. We assume the relationship a couple of months later and we didn't met in person. So he came to where i live and stayed a week. A month later i went to his home and stayed a month. We had this type of thing going on for some months and then we decided to live together, since he would come to my city. The last visit before he move in, he started to dictate how things would be with us living together. I didn't like It at all, told him that, he Said he would change. He didn't. Só i broke up with him one year ago and he still try to contact me saying he is madly in love with me and i am ALL he thinks about. I was pretty clear i do not want this relationship anymore, since everything he did i can't erase, and the spark is gone. He is so spoiled and mamas boy. He wanted me to mother him sometimes. i think he says he is Sorry about things i told him because he knows i think its wrong. Not because he sees that. Why is he so obsessed over us?

Analysis: "a neptune illusion"

Well, you two have the same ASC so It can explain why you two get well so fast. His lillith is in your stellium. She makes tight contacts with your moon and venus. You are the embodiment of his lillith. Plus, his Juno ia opposing your stellium, touching It either. He feels Juno within you, even If you know at heart you are not. His pluto opposite your mars+Mercury indicating that his obsession with you talks about your witty, intelligence, knowledge. And your rawr nature. You are probably the best sex of his life. His Mars tho, do not touch your chart the way It supposed to be to do that. Since the two Mars are Air Mars, you do have similar tastes but something is missing for you. I can say, putting the house your Mars is in (4th) on the equation, that you miss making love. He likes rawr sex. BDSM vibes and lillith in Gemini is so role playing! You hook this one for good. His Sun and venus are in your 7th, you thought It could work. But his neptune is in your 12th, and your neptune in his!!! So lots of projections. When he showed what he was really about your 12th came clear as water (because your neptune is naturally there you are use to the energy to the point It can shift and shine back thru your higher (12th) understanding (conjunct Uranus). But he, on the other half, are in neptunes illusions. He still see you as this whole thing, but he can't see thru himself and make the actions that are needed to really be a different person at things he have to grow. He want you back. He says he is going to change. But he doesnt know where he is doing wrong because is something he have to understand, not thru what you say, but thru himself.

An important point here is that his neptune touches every corner of his chart.

His pisces Saturn opposing his virgo Mercury shows that he is naturally inclined to have these conscious oppeness later in life. (Saturn opp Mercury touches uranus). And since his jupiter is in 10th sagittarius he will probably get his Focus on "growing up" by taking responsabilities thru his career.

Well, i Hope i could help you understand a little more about this.

Send your astro story and let's see thru the lens of the stars!!

How I view Gemini suns in 10th House:

▪️Capricorn Moon in 4th House:

▪️ Summary:

always in a internal conflict with their emotions. They sometimes put their ambitions forward-mind into family affairs, and may be seen as "cold" or "ruthless" being seen as someone who's more interested into having their own personal gain instead of "the good for all". Also usually overprotective and selective of who they share their vulnerabilities to. You also may come across as someone who can be quite dark but it's not that transparent to the eye, but those who know you know that you can be quite deep & "all knowing."

.

.

.

Sharp-tongued • observant • keen • pessimistic • protective • selective • introverted feeling • out-spoken • direct • cunning • persistent & • down-to-earth • secretive •

In Depth Slashstrology 5

Roman: 

He is expressive and emotional, even if he hates how well other people can read him.Roman is also very quick witted and intelligent which can give the impression that he doesn’t feel things as deeply as he does. Blatantly passive aggressive when it comes to most issues. It’s easy for him to make friends, as most people assume he’s tolerant and just, or at the very least harmless. There’s a sense of normalness and innocence about him that others like.  He has a well developed artistry and feels stifled when he can’t create. Roman feels like he needs to achieve a lot, and that success can never come fast enough even though he’s already in a better position than most people. He feels like he needs to always be doing something, or else he’s just wasting time. 

He likes to show off his partners, and expects that they be worth all the praise he gives them. An emotional connection is very important to Roman, he really craves validation from his romantic and sexual partners. Gets absolutely swept away in romance. Self sabotage is frequent with him, romantically and professionally. He needs to learn how to relax, learning how to take a step back and think things through would do him some good. 

Primary Placements: Cancer Sun in 12th House, Aries Moon in 10th House, Cancer Rising, Leo Venus in 2nd House, Leo Lillith, 5th House in Scorpio, Libra Uranus in 3rd House, Cancer Mars in 12th House, 154 Trine Mercury - Jupiter, -126 Square Mercury - Pluto

Brahms: 

He likes his dark side, unlike a lot of others who keep it hidden voluntarily or involuntarily. He broods often, and likes to reflect on his own feelings. Brahms is full of contradictions: childish, light hearted, and playful but also domineering, secretive, and very intense. If he’s not fully invested in something he won't bother with it at all. He’s surprisingly delicate for how prideful he can be. He likes learning, especially about people. Brahms’s natural intensity lends itself well to loyalty, as long as you don’t end up betraying him. Or doing anything he sees as a betrayal. New situations make him self conscious. Brahms is more nervous than you would imagine too, and you can usually tell by his hands.  He takes his time with things, wanting something to be just the way he envisioned it in his head before he lets anyone else see it or even know what it is. 

He’s impulsive in his relationships, which doesn’t pair well with his tendency to stick to one person. He’ll likely have lots of children and/or love affairs. He keeps his playfulness when he’s in love, because above all, he sees love as another fun activity he gets to take part in. That temperament can also change quickly, just like it does in the day to day. Brahms is very passionate in relationships and is also very, very territorial. If he’s jealous, trust me, you’ll hear about it. At the heart of it all he wants someone just as romantic as he is to share ideas with. 

Primary Placements: 

Taurus Sun in 6th, Scorpio Moon in 11th , Scorpio Rising, Aries Venus in 6th , Gemini Mars in 7th, 174 Sextile Venus - Mars, - 5 Square Venus - Lilith, 8 Trine Moon - Lilith, -140 Opposition Mercury - Ascendant, -152 Opposition Mars - Uranus

heyy! what do u think of someone w a gem sun in 10th, a cap moon in 4th, and virgo rising (lillith in 1st)? :)

Hi! disclaimer: please take this with a grain of salt, Am not a professional, here are my thoughts about it, and it's not a fact.

Sun in Gemini, represented by the twins, stereotypically calls two faces. For me, Gemini represents the duality of a person and the adaptability that comes with that, being in the 10h (house of career-related topics and public image) I view it as you give a lot of importance to the things you focus on, career it's important to an extent, and you can adapt easily to the challenge that is thrown at you.

The Capricorn moon can view feelings and emotions more practically, this doesn't mean they don't feel, they can have a little trouble understanding how they feel and might try to push everything to a corner. Been on the 4h it's not easy, feel like this placement feels a lot of pressure from their family, or tried to give too much and it's not appreciated.

Virgo rising, represent a strong sense of identity, you know who you are (or are in the process of discovering) you like stability but can adapt. Has an intense presence and Lilith on the 1H contributes to that, it's part of what people can see, You could be a little misunderstood too.

All in all, pretty guarded person when it comes to emotions, powerful and capable of everything that's set your mind. Remember, shitty people, are everywhere, even in your family, if people can understand, they can fuck off, do your do and be happy <3 (this goes to everybody that reads it)

10th Century Fantastic Beasts

by Ken Hazlett and Nat Lawson

Costume Description: Original design of the Hogwarts Founders from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter

Bio: We are cosplayers from Southern California who occasionally combine our cosplaying with our other pastime- surfing. 

The Case of the Missing Founder (CLOSED)

By Epiphelia Holmes

Abstract: Circa 1010 common era (CE), Salazar Slytherin, learned magicker, scholar, world traveler, and basilisk breeder, disappeared. All wizarding histories, including the penultimate source on Hogwarts, Hogwarts, A History (Bagshot, 1905), note that Slytherin disagreed with the other three Founders on the teaching of magic to the Muggle-born, and thus, left Hogwarts, angry and disillusioned. Through dogged research and exhaustive detective work, the author of this paper reveals the true fate of Salazar Slytherin, and surprisingly, the fate of Rowen Ravenclaw, utilizing the early enchanted and startlingly lifelike paintings of Grimhilde of Bingen and Hildegard of Bingen, as well as accounts from Slytherin’s own newly discovered journal for Year 1032, 33, revealing the magicker as an avid naturalist of Fantastic Beasts, who extensively traveled the various routes of the Silk Road with Rowen Ravenclaw, after Ravenclaw’s ‘death’. Additionally, this article presents new evidence regarding a second Ravenclaw diadem, created after the infamous theft of the original artefact.

Excerpt from Section 1.3 History of the Artists:

Note: Artist history is primarily sourced from Vasari, 1569, unless otherwise noted. 

Grimhilde of Bingen (b. 964 d. 1138), a most misunderstood woman of her time, largely due to an ungrateful stepdaughter widely known primarily for her snow white skin, was, in actuality, a writer, composer, mystic, and artist of the 10th century. Forced to leave her homeland, in the Rhine, due to the aforementioned stepdaughter and an unfortunate incident involving a huntsman and several angry miners, Grimhilde settled in the region of what is now Cornwall in England. Her many interests and skills led her to the creation of an enchanted paintbrush, which created paintings, so lifelike, they are nearly indistinguishable from the photographs of today. 

Although Grimhilde’s paintings and writings became well known in the Wizarding world, her scholarly pursuits were not her only passion and she married and bore one daughter, also an artist, composer, and mystic. Grimhilde’s granddaughter, however, was born a Squib, which may have been what drove her to successes even beyond her mother and grandmother. Hildegard of Bingen (b. 1098 d. 1179) returned to her grandmother’s homeland as a young adult and became a German Benedictine abbess, a writer, a composer, a philosopher, a mystic, a visionary, a polymath, an artist, and is considered among Wizards and Muggles alike, to be the founder of scientific natural history in the Germanic region.

Among their many accomplishments, Grimhilde and Hildegard painted several important wizarding figures of their day, most notably, Salazar Slytherin and Rowen Ravenclaw. Grimhilde completed a series of paintings of the pair between 1026 and 1028. Hildegard, who inherited the enchanted brush, also painted Slytherin and Ravenclaw, circa 1132. These paintings, which show the two Founders, reunited, after Slytherin’s disappearance and Ravenclaw’s death as the witch, Rowena Ravenclaw, are masterfully created and provide a number of interesting facts regarding Slytherin’s mysterious disappearance from the school and Ravenclaw’s supposed death of a broken heart. The series of paintings of Slytherin and Ravenclaw by the two artists is known in the Wizarding art world as the dual Bingen series.

Excerpt from 2.1 Archival Research:

[…] No one in the Kavalier family possessed an ounce of magic any longer and thus, no one over the ages was able to decipher the ancient text, largely written in a combination of Middle Irish, Old Norse, Latin, and a code, possibly based on spoken Parseltongue. The journal, a simple leather book labeled “MXXXII, MXXXIII, A.D.”, containing sketches of strange beasts, was an unreadable text among nearly two dozen aged tomes, and almost universally ignored by the family over time. Indeed, until the late 1980s, when Mr. Clay Kavalier, a graphic novel artist, discovered the sketches of the Fantastic Beasts in the journal and used them as an inspiration for his drawings, the book was almost never opened. Mr. Kavalier’s highly accurate depictions of various Fantastic Beasts, found in a Muggle ‘comic book’, led the author of this article to the Slytherin journal, carefully stored and preserved by the Kavalier family, now, of Orange, California, USA. The authenticity of the journal was verified by the Historical Records Department, Ministry of Magic, in 2020.

[…] The depiction of the diadem in the dual Bingen series has long puzzled wizarding scholars, as it is widely known and accepted that Ravenclaw’s diadem was stolen by Helena Ravenclaw and hidden, only surfacing during the reign of He Who Must Not Be Named in the modern era. The original diadem possessed an oval blue jewel and “was said to grant wisdom to the wearer” (Bagshot, 1905).  A description of the dual Bingen series diadem is included in Section 3.1; it is noted here, however, that the two artefacts are different. Considering the possibility that Ravenclaw crafted a second diadem, the author of this article researched Wizarding metalworkers of the 10th century, finally discovering among the preserved papers of Lillith Helmschmied, the most famous female Wizarding metalworker of the 10th and 11th centuries, a sketch of the diadem depicted in the dual Bingen series. Unfortunately, Helmschmied does not indicate if the new diadem possessed the same abilities as the original. If, as many scholars opine, Ravenclaw enchanted the jewel herself (Bagshot, 1905), it seems likely that the second jewel was also enchanted.

Excerpt from 3.1 Description of the Garb:

The dual Bingen series may be the most important depiction of any of the Founders completed to date. Not only is the garb consistent with 10th century fashions, and thus, likely representing one of the more accurate portrayals of the Founders, there are accents to the garb which offer insight into the Founders themselves. The paintings in the series were created nearly 100 years apart. Neither Founder appears to have aged between the sessions and both are garbed identically in all paintings in the dual series. There is agreement among experts that Hildegard likely created her paintings from sketches completed by Grimhilde. 

Salazar Slytherin left Viking occupied lands, in what is now Ireland, as a young adult, and the garb the Founder wears in the paintings reflects the Founder’s roots in Viking Age Ireland. Salazar is painted wearing a green dress over a léine; the dress is heavily embroidered with Fantastic Beasts, including a zouwu, a demiguise (both visible and invisible), a phoenix, a unicorn, a manticore, an occamy, and a basilisk, all done in the style of the Book of Kells. One of the embroidery designs shows a kelpie, which are known to live in Black Lake, at Hogwarts. Snakes are embroidered over a border of Celtic knot work that runs along the base of the dress. The top of the dress and the top of the léine are both decorated with lace that incorporates Book of Kells style snakes. Salazar also wears a green coat, adorned with still more snakes. The paintings indicate that the Founder preferred fancy Wizarding fabrics and possessed an almost excessive flair. The coat is pinned with metal brooches to show off the dress embroidery and like many items made at the time, the base of the coat is lined with fur. From the painting, it is not possible to definitively ascertain the type of fur, but magi-biologists generally agree that it is likely Bodmin Moorcat (Challenger, 1899, Mirza et al., 2018).

Rowen Ravenclaw, who originated from the Kingdom of Alba (now, approximately the lowlands of Scotland), is painted in traditional Anglo-Saxon garb. Like Salazar, Rowen also wears fancy wizarding fabric unavailable to the Muggles of the time. Celtic style ravens are embroidered on the sleeves and around the keyhole opening of the long tunica. Chain embroidery winds around the ravens. Celtic knot work is embroidered along the base of the tunic. Consistent with Anglo-Saxon fashions, Ravenclaw is wearing short pants tucked into high socks that are secured with ties. Ravenclaw’s simple silver band diadem is completely consistent with Muggle styles of the day and contains the Celtic phrase, “Cíall gan chiomhsa • Maoin mór duini”, in a version of Gaelic spoken in Alba. The phrase approximates “Wit without limit: great treasure of Men”. According to Helmschmied, the band is made of silver and the words are stamped into the band. The jewel is noted as a sapphire and it is also set in silver. Rowen’s rich cloak is decorated around the base with silver trim and it is worn draped, similar to a Roman toga. Generally, Rowen’s garb is less decorated than Salazar’s garb. It is thought among some scholars that the Founder of the Ravenclaw House was more reserved than his Slytherin counterpart. The dual Bingen series would counter this idea.

Excerpt from 3.2 Description of the Fantastic Beasts

There are few records regarding the Fantastic Beasts depicted in the paintings, which include an occamy and a basilisk. Salazar’s journal records the names of both beasts who appear in the dual Bingen series and notes that the basilisk was one of three successful hatchings. The occamy is called Ocarina and the basilisk is King George. The occamy could be of any age, as occamy will grow or shrink to whatever size to occupy space, an ability they possess immediately after hatching. The basilisk is clearly a youngster, as it is small and still has wings, as compared to the centuries old and massively huge wingless basilisk found in the Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts in 1992. Salazar’s journal does not include any dates for the hatchings and says nothing about the other two successful hatchings. The journal also does not offer any information regarding how Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Grimhilde of Bingen all lived beyond the sketching and painting sessions involving the basilisk. As breeding of basilisks is currently illegal and has been illegal for centuries, very little is known about them. Magi-biologists generally agree that the most likely scenario is that the beast had either not yet developed any of the paralyzing or killing abilities possessed by the Chamber of Secrets basilisk or he was able to control his abilities (Verne, 1863, Challenger, 1891). Opinion is split regarding whether the basilisk himself decided against rampaging during the sessions or whether Salazar was able to train the beast (Mirza, 2020).

Excerpt from Appendix 2, The Bingen Wizarding Collection

[…] and in 1947, Ginger Bingen, used the ragged and worn set of paintbrushes to create her own series of Wizard paintings of Slytherin and Ravenclaw. Ginger Bingen’s paintings incorporate the last of her many times removed Great Aunt Grimhilde’s sketches and notes of her sessions with the two Founders. Experts do not agree on whether the paintings accurately reflect the two Founders, as the paintings have only recently been made public. For one, many say, the Founders are speaking modern English. Although the paintings were rumored to exist, the Bingen Wizarding collection remained in private hands until 2017. That year, the four paintings below were stolen from the estate of the last Bingen by a self-styled modern-day Robin Hood and hung in the toilet of Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem (well known even among Muggles as the oldest pub in England), when the pub was closed for the night.  As there were no heirs to the estate and no will, and no one really owned the paintings or knew what to do with them, they were left in place at the pub and secured with heavy charms and curses.

So So Good: Sonora by Hannah Lillith Assadi

So sometimes I just go to the library and check out what’s new in fiction and I found this book, Sonora. Being from Arizona, I was just immediately intrigued and decided to check it out and what a good choice.

In her first novel, Assadi tells the tale of Ahlem and Laura, two brown girls growing up in Phoenix, AZ - being angsty, sneaking out of the house, smoking, doing all the cool things I really did NOT get to do in HS. I also grew up in AZ during my teen years and this book makes me think I was pretty damn straightedge the whole time. It is a pretty unique perspective though - Ahlem’s dad is Palestinian and her mom is Israeli which inevitably leads to lots of arguments between them whenever they watch the news.

Tonally, the book is just a huge downer. Relationships are portrayed in agonizing detail as things that just feed off of you until you’re bled dry. Ahlem and Laura eventually leave Arizona to New York City to live with an artist whose sole purpose seems to make sure these girls stay high for the entirety of their experience in NYC. The narrative skips between Ahlem’s life moving chronologically forward and her return to AZ years later when her father is hospitalized. The relationships between her, Laura, her parents, any one who comes across their paths, are all thrown to the breaking point.

I’d like to say this would be an interesting read for those into bildungsroman, but damn, it would highly discourage those shy, dreaming teenagers in AZ from ever leaving the state. I did love reading it now as a jaded adult who has not experienced 1/10th of this insanity. Assadi’s prose is like poetry and helps lift the descriptions off the page into a desert dreamscape with drugs, alien encounters, and just a touch of Mexican and Islamic mysticism.
