Description:

Very near to him like north he glitters of white and blue but holds the same darkness that envelops west,-ope I already have a pic of him as a wolf like all of them his eyes are very piercing and likely one of the first things you noticing his seem to glow in rings of bluish colors and golds, a being of destruction and protection much like the wolf fiercely protective of those who are close to him and quick tempered, well mannered like north a level headed leader when he needs to be but quick to snap. Sliver seems to glitter and shine around him especially as a wolf it's like the tips of his black fur are coated lightly in it enough to make light shine off him, associations to the moon (I wonder why) a warriors spirit, closely associated to the sea as well or seafaring and exploration.

North said “that although he look smart, it’s an aesthetic. so don’t be fooled” or something along those lines, paraphrasing right now

There is a pack of wolves he travels with, but he does have a wolf animal form. It’s a blend between the thunder and the wispiness of the pictures above.

Residence/Palace:

It’s very reminiscent to the forests of Northwestern U.S. but also the Canadian forests (Boreal Forests). He doesn’t have a palace per say, more like a secured area that he spends alone time in. He’s an adventurer, a nomad even, he explores and is on “the hunt” always. His “base” is close by a open body of water, unsure if it’s a lake or an ocean. Which ties into his seafaring, and water associations. Tall dark evergreen, pine, more commonly and abundantly spruce. 

Correspondences:

Days of the Week:

Monday - Northwest has strong associations and ties to the Moon due to the wolf symbolism. Because of this, the Moon is known to rule over emotions and intuition. To work with Northwest’s energy more on Mondays, tie into the current moon phase (research moon phase meanings) and set up a to-do list for Tuesday. This would be the stock up supplies, check inventory, and set plans to tackle adventuring and the rest of the week. Don’t let the day slip by, and make use of the time you have. Tomorrow is the day of action, so set plans today.

Tuesday - Mar’s day, the day of action, movement, and direction. If yesterday was using the base with Northwest, today is the first day of movement and energy. Set forth with the plans, set your sights on your goals. Focus, and drive toward them with as much energy as you can muster. Get the large and scary tasks on the to-do list done today! You’ll have the most momentum and energy behind you to back you up.

Special Days:

2, 4, 6

Spring months: March - May

Spring (Vernal) Equinox - Typically March 20th

Lunar Eclipses

Lyrics Meteor Shower - April 22, 23

Eta Aquarids Meteor Shower - May 6, 7

Elements:

Water - Primary

Earth - Secondary

Numbers:

2, 4, 6 - Based off my personal associations

2 - Start laying the groundwork for new ideas. 2’s come in pairs so expect another event, or an idea to follow. The second day in the week is Tuesday, which follows along with his days of the week segment. Pair/partnerships, connection, building ideas up, balance, choice/decisions, possibilities, flexibility, prioritization, multi-tasking, perseverance

4 - Means something is complete or it needs to become complete, joining numbers together create some form of wholeness. bold action, structure, reevaluation, completion/coming to completion, connection, corrections, order

6 - the even odd number, manifestations are starting to come into fruition, keep being generous to those around you and expect the same in return. Manifestations, fruition, generosity, nostalgia, kindness, emotional intelligence, compassion, luck, destiny, cycles, a breakthrough, devotion

Colors:

Earthy tones, black, gray, silver, grayish blues

Planet:

Moon, Uranus

Moon - Has the most emotional connection to us. Controller of the tides, and since bodies have water in them, also controller of humanity (in some senses). The phases, and position of the Moon are very important in many cases. The Moon is the reflection of the illumination of the Sun, working alongside Earth’s shadow. The Moon in many cases is feminine, so it’s an interesting choice for Northwest. However, this is due to the wolf symbolism within himself. Working alongside the moon phases, is very important to Northwest. From Labyrinthos, the Moon is also responsible for the unconscious mind, instincts, habits, moods, and creativity. The most important for Northwest is instincts, and habits. The transit time for the Moon in astrological signs is 2-3 days, very reminiscent about how much a traveler he is. Not spending much time in one location for too long before moving onto the next.

Uranus - At first I didn’t understand his reasoning for Uranus, following suit of his days of the week I thought the secondary choice was going to be Mars. The revolution period of Uranus is slow, given it’s distance from the Sun. It’s rotation time instead though is surprisingly quick. A general consensus about Uranus, is that it’s an individual planet, on its lonesome, and rebellious. Known for eccentricity, unpredictable changes, rebellion, reformation, invention, creation, and futuristic. Freedom and creativity are important to this planet, as well as Northwest. I think this is more of a hidden characteristic about him, but it makes a lot of sense. Although wolves are known to be pack animals, in many modern adaptions they are taken on as loners. Northwest doesn’t and does go with eh flow, but sometimes the flow is very harmful and there has to be rebellion and change. That’s where he comes into play. Forward thinking, and agile.

Offerings & Devotional Acts:

Shufflemancy, however when I let him take my playlist away: A lot of Mitski, Seventeen (Kpop), Taylor Swift, and Metal Music played. He has a large variety of music, best bet is to make a huge playlist of songs and allow him to play what he wants. Limiting him to certain genres is not his style.

He really likes: Seven by Taylor Swift, Push It by Static-X, Welcome to the Jungle by Guns & Roses, and Waiting Room by Phoebe Bridgers.

Playlists:

Honor his special days

Make to-do lists

Connect with ancestors, or local nature spirits

Learn and research the moon phases, then apply that knowledge

Water witchcraft: Water Scrying, Water spirits, different types of Water

Swimming

Learn something your interested in, then apply knowledge; “Learn and do, knowledge not being applied or shared is wasteful”

Finding connections that are long-standing “Found family” in a way

Protection spells, Warding, Banishment

Conservation efforts for engendered wildlife

Catch and release fishing

Spending time in nature - spend time in a forest, go barefoot occasionally (be careful of germs though)

Planting herbs or berries and using them (resourcefulness)

Being on the move, and resting

Connecting with your inner child

Illusions - North made a comment that “he seems smarter than he seems” so although dishonest acting one way yo advance your position but having connections that you can allow yourself to not keep the illusions up

Planting trees

Learn self-defense

Help animals in need if you can

Plant native plants in your area, plant plants for pollinators as well

Watch wolf, or any wildlife, nature documentaries

Go on a spontaneous adventure

Make your own tools for your craft, be resourceful!

Do more things at night (if you can, please rest though if necessary)

Learn constellations, and how they aided different cultures in their respective contexts (historical use of constellations, and luminaries in the sky)

Spread awareness for things your passionate about, use your voice. Rebel against authorities and systems that oppress people

Celebrate the Spring Equinox

The Circulatory System

Functions:

·         Respiration

·         Nutrition

·         Waste Removal

·         Immunity

·         Cellular Communication

·         Thermoregulation

 Cardiovascular System

 Blood -is a type of connective tissue .

 Circulating blood is comprised of plasma and formed elements:

·         Plasma- is a fluid component and can be thought of as the ground substance of blood.

Formed elements- are the cellular components of blood.

·         Red blood cells or erythrocytes- one of the formed elements have nuclei except mammals.

·         White blood cells or leucocytes-second major cellular constituent of formed elements.WBC defend body from infection and diseases.

·         Platelets-third formed element in the blood.They released factors that produce a cascade of chemical events leading to the formation of clot or thrombus, sites of tissue damage.

Three types of Blood Vessels:

 ·         Arteries - carry blood away from the heart

·         Veins - carry blood toward the heart

·         Capillaries - tiny vessels that lie towards them.

Arteries and veins have tubular walls organized into three layers that enclose a central lumen. The innermost layer,the tunica intima, includes the lining of endothelial cells that face the lumen.On the outside is the tunica adventitia,composed mostly of fibrous connective tissue. Between these two layers is the tunica media, which differs most in arteries and veins.

 Microcirculation-is the specific component of the cardiovascular that regulates and supports cell metabolism intimately. Capillary beds plus the arterioles that supply them anf venules drain them form the microcirculation.

  Systolic Pressure- is when ventricles of the heart contract.

Diastolic Pressure-constitutes the lowest pressure within blood vessels, which is reached between heartbeats.

 Mammals have double circulation, in which blood passes through the heart twice during each circuit,travelling from the heart to the lungs,back to the heart,out to the systemic tissues and back to the heart a second time again.

Two General Functional Systems of venous circulation

·         Systemic system- draining the general body tissue.

·         Pulmonary system-draining the lungs

Renal portal and abdomibal veins are absent in mammalian venous circulation buta a hepatic portal vein is present.The cardinal vessels are substantially modified to produce two major vessels: the single cava (the superior vena cava) and the single postcava (inferior vena cava). The posterior vana cava is divided into sevaral sections including the hepatic,renal and subcardinal veins.

 Heart

   The heart of mammals have four chambers that arise from two chambers(atrium and ventricles).The sinus venosus is reduced to a patch of Purkinje fibers or sinoatrial node, in the wall of right atrium.

Fetal Cirulation in Placenta Mammals

    In eutherian mammals, fetus depends exclusively on the placenta of mammals for its oxygen supply.

Lymphatic System

 The lymphatic system is partner with the circulatory system.It aids fluid and return to the circulatory system and engaged in several functions.

 Components of lymphatic system:

·         Lymphatic vessels- constitute a blind-ended, tubular system that recirculates fluid from the tissues back to the cardiovascular system.The walls of lymphatic vessels are similar to those if veins and, like veins, lymphatic vessels contain one-way valves.

 Hydrostatic pressure- represents the remaining force generated initially by ventricular contraction.Tends to favor the flow of fluid from the blood into the surrounding tissue.

 Osmotic pressure- results from unequal concentrations of proteins within the antriole and outside in the surrounding tissue fluid, so fluid moves from the surrounding tissue fluid, so fluid moves from the surrounding tissue into the blood.

 The fluid carried by the lymphatic vessels is lymp. It consists mostly of water and a few dissolved substanves such as electrolytes and protein, but it contains no red blood cells.

The lymphatic vessels function as an accessory venous system,absorbing and returning escaped fluid to tje general circulation. They also absorb lipids from digestive tracts.

 ·         Lymphatic Tissue- is a collection of connective tissue and free cells.

Free cells comprise mostly:

·         Leukocytes

·         Plasma cells

·         Macrophages

Hm his eyes are darker piercing they look right into your soul much like west's, he has light hair almost white I'm feeling, more masc leaning but seems to be more fluid and very assured in his orientations, "a scholarly soul" I'm getting that they rule more over intellectual activities and learning. Like a hawk, they have sharp eyes, determined but headstrong. He’s more stoic, and reserved on the surface level than South or Southeast is. he’s not one to let go of this “poker face” easily, he won’t surrender. 

Residence/Palace:

It’s not as much a Palace, as it is a library room. More of a battle, and archival space. It’s personal though, he has a an area for others to meet and adjourn almost. Like a private strategic battle area/office that doubles as a personal archive and library. Then a more open space for birds, reptiles, and air spirits to spend time and commune with each other. Almost like a roman forum in a way, meant for sharing ideas, cultural beliefs (cultural diffusion), sharing political ideas, sharing religions, information, but also just spending time and eating. It can be a very energized space, or it’s bare without people per the request of Southwest. He takes on the more private aspect like West, but enjoys company like South. Prioritizing knowledge, and acquiring it. He likes adventure, but if well thoroughly planned out and organized. Has to be well executed, and do its purpose.

Office/Archival/Personal: It has dark deep red, and brown shades. He’s very selective about who can enter, it’s not uncommon for him to ask people per say. But it’s not on the everyday occasion that people visit the actual office. The forum is fine and dandy but the office is special. High bookshelves, with a section for notebooks of his own adventures and his own history and personal feelings.

Correspondences:

Days of the Week:

Wednesday - the day of Mercury, the messenger of communication, curiosity, and creativity. Practical matters, continue working through your work throughout the week. Thoughts, and words flow more smoothly, so Southwest does a lot of diplomatic matters on Wednesday. He encourages those who may feel overwhelmed in the week, to declutter and reorganize. Set yourself up for success and not failure.

Saturn - the planet of structure and discipline. A methodical and responsible energy , catch up on your personal to-do list. You typically have more free time to run errands, to socialize, to think what needs to be done today to relax for tomorrow (Sunday). Refresh your calendar for the week ahead, plan out days to do certain tasks. This is the day of doing, but also strategizing. Based on needs it can also be more of a relaxed day. Do as what you see fit. To work with Southwest’s energy more than I would say connect to his more serious/stoic energy and complete tasks.

Special Days:

4, 8, 10

Fall Months - September to November

Autumnal Equinox

Solar eclipses

Draconids Meteor Shower - October 7th

Orionids Meteor Shower - October 21, 22

Taurus Meteor Shower - November 4,5

Elements:

Air - Primary

Fire - Secondary

Numbers:

4, 8, 10 - Based off my personal associations

4 - Means something is complete or it needs to become complete, joining numbers together to create some form of wholeness. Completion/coming to completion, connection, corrections, orders, working alongside others to achieve goals, teamwork, community, collaboration

8 - remember to continue with the movement of the past numbers. This isn’t the end of the cycle itself, however you’re reaching the end. The lucky but unlucky number. Don’t be afraid of subconscious, transformation, and the occult. Movement, transformation, spiritual rebirth, the ability to swiftly rise above any obstacles or challenges.

10 - Representing completion and wholeness, the cyclical nature of life, constant changes that occur. 10 is one and zero tied together so it takes the numerology from 1 and amplifies it in a new way. This is a call back almost to Southwest’s creativity, and ingenuity. If the number 1 is about now beginnings, and 10 is about completion it shows the cycles. All the effort made together to get to your final destination. In my associations 0 is a neutral option, it means divine intervention in some cases. With Southwest it might be the divine intervention of either West or South to learn something from them.

Colors:

Warm earth tones, bright pops of red and yellow. Reds in Central America symbolize passion and emotion, extensively combined with white for religious practices. The Fellowship is modeled after Catholic Hierarchies, so it seems fit that these two colors come into play for him as well. Orange is a color associated with him as well, a primary color in Nature for Central and South America. 

Planet:

Mercury, Mars, Saturn

Mercury - Use your voice to speak your ideas, strategize with your mind. Communicate to those around you for ease of success (know who you are speaking to, and trust those in your inner circle). Intellect and awareness are important with diplomacy, war, and knowledge of all sorts. Southwest isn’t about quick wit (although he can be fast on his feet in terms of wit and thinking), he prefers long drawn out philosophical plans. He priorities his rationality, paired with his practicality to execute long term plans with ease.

Mars - the action planet, passion and determination are what this planet is about. Within he realm of Southwest though, it really ties back to the Roman God of Mars. He had ties to War, but also Agriculture a more forgotten trait about Mars. he make sit a point to have more hidden beneath the surface. Southwest’s energy and presence are noted within rooms, even if he’s not speaking. He doesn’t per say command attention, his presence is attention grabbing. He walks with confidence, which makes sense given how long he might think about his plans (His words are also thought carefully, and worded intentionally). Southwest encourages though afraid to meet their challenges with intent, and plan to overcome; to not quit and to overcome by any means necessary.

Saturn - the disciplined energy of this planet makes itself apparent within Southwest. Responsibility, and promise are important to Southwest, he almost takes like them an oath. He might be suggesting to make contracts or oaths with him, think them out carefully and don’t forget to contract yourself a let out/a way out. He takes his word, and your word seriously. Additionally, managing and organizing time is important under Saturn, knowing how much time and energy will be spent on one task is important. It dictates how the rest of the day might pan out around you. Time has limitations, there are 24 hours within a day, restrictions might have to come since time is of the essence. Another aspect of Saturn is life lessons, what might find you in a past life in this one and how to overcome it. There is a more of a traditional aspect to Southwest, especially if more Chronological epithet.

・❥・ Northeast ˗ˏˋ꒰ 🐻 ꒱

Information by me, help from @moonlight1237

Moodboard:

Looks Like:

Credit: Top Left: Link: https://pin.it/4mpxHsmD8 | Top Right: Princess Katia, Played by Alicia Agneson | Bottom Left: Unknown | Bottom Right: Unknown

Description: She's very pale like North like she has no blood, dark brown hair with occasionally grey strips, that goes down her back that she occasionally puts up in different ways normally half up half down. She wears lots of furs normally brown like her hair that's the same color as the fur she has in her bear form. Very sharp canine teeth with tinted dark red lips. Her eyes are a very pale basically Grey with silver specks in the iris. Her bear form looks like any grizzly bear would she's possibly a tad bit bigger than a normal bear. She's very cold to the touch like North, and likes to speak quietly over making loud sounds. - Moon

Residence/Palace:

The Cabins (more on this below) are in her area, but she also doesn’t have a Palace. She has a region, and it’s defiantly more arctic/tundra. It can almost lead into a Boreal forest, but the vegetation is more dense and thick. There are “dry” areas with little to no vegetation, yk what Tundras are known for (treeless plain). Dead organic material functions as a nutrient pool, and adds to decomposition and therefore the nature of death. It is both the Alpine Tundra and the Arctic tundra. Alpine Tundras are located on the mountains throughout the world at high altitudes where trees cannot grow.

She doesn’t have a specific residence per say, but she does frequently visit and rest at the cabins. Other than that she can be sen moving throughout the Northeast area, and roaming about. She mainly looks for stragglers, the dead, spirits, and other signs that would be out of the ordinary.

Kai - I was tasked by the Morrigan to make an energetic/spiritual realm for deceased spirits to be at peace at, or for them to find loved ones before moving through the veil. Mainly for wounded (emotionally or physically) spirits. Originally I was going to make this place in the Astral, but on a whim I though of East or North. Truthfully, I did forget about Northeast and how one of her epithets is “She who leads the spirits of the dead through the twisted branches”. After talking to East, she pointed my direction to Northeast, which we had a brief but informative conversation about what this spirit realm would be, the operation and boundaries. Confirmation cards pulled: “7 of Pentacles, 8 of Wands, and the Empress”. Northeast’s only notes was that the realm was to have snow, or a light dusting of it. The photos I originally had planned out seemed very East aligned in a field, and a cabin in the woods surrounded by fields.

(Still Kai btw), so the operation of the realm would mainly be handled by Northeast, with North and East assisting depending on the seasons. Although, I’m not one of the main leads on the realm, it will still be my duty to upkeep the place, settle disputes, and help spirits in need. The Lower Entities can also help if they so wish. As for boundaries it is commonly determined that if a spirit is being rude, disrespectful, rough and abrasive then they are to be let out unless they decide to change, or calm down. The main thing for myself is that I’m not always in the mindset for intense spirit work, so for myself there it the boundary of, ‘if low on energy, not in the right mindset/headspace, or other circumstantial reasoning then spirit work cannot be preformed unless given permission by the Morrigan or Northeast.’ I’ll be adding photos of the spirit realm here as well for my benefit as well as documentation :).

Correspondences:

Days of the Week:

Tuesday - Ruled by Mars; planet of action, vitality, and drive. Mars is an energy that determines your motivations and confidence. Paired with Northeast it’s mainly about getting as much done as possible. Daylight might not be a long time so prioritizing what’s to be done at day versus night is essential. Be focused, and quick footed as there might be a lot of ground to cover in little time. Get moving, getting started on new projects. Don’t let the day slip away from you with Northeast (especially on Tuesday)

Saturday - Ruled by Saturn, the planet of structure and discipline. A methodical and responsible energy can sweep, paired with Northeast’s cold hands it is a sure recipe for getting something done. Much like Tuesday time is of the essence. Make your plans now versus on Sunday, and Monday. Those are days that people might be more naturally sluggish on. So getting ahead of the curve today is important. Wake up a bit earlier today, so you can go to bed earlier and start Sunday on a better note.

Special Days:

1, 7, 8

Winter months: December - February

Winter Solstice

Gemini's Meteor Shower - December 13, 14

Ursids Meteor Shower - December 21, 22

Quadrantids Meteor Shower - January 3,4

Elements:

Earth - Primary

Water - Secondary

Numbers:

1, 7, 8 - Based off personal associations

1 - the start of something, spend more time thinking about your actions, and create a solidified plan before moving forward. New beginnings, new ideas, starting to plan, stability, structure, trust in what will happen, figuring identity out. With Northeast and her strong ties to death, I see this as the aftermath of death and starting anew.

7 - Strange experiences will start to occur more frequently, check in on your wards and such, reestablish authority and courage in yourself. Evaluate your thinking and thought patterns and remember to be kind to yourself. Controversy, strange experiences, check wards, set protections, grounding, clarity, assertiveness, leadership, honesty

8 - remember to continue with the movement of the past, this isn’t the end of the cycle yet. The lucky but unlucky number, death and life is a cycle in itself, don’t be afraid of the subconscious, and the occult. Movement, transformation, rebirth, death and life, opportunities, victory, achievement, moderation, purpose

Colors:

Gray, Black, Silver, Blue, Purple

Cool Tones

Dark Colors

Deep red, and plum colors

Planet:

Saturn - With Northeast, Saturn’s energy is a call to continue working and work hard. Discipline and responsibility are so important to her. But as well as being responsible, being respectful. Working alongside death, and dead spirits can be difficult but remember to remain respectful. It’s not something to make a performance about, it’s somber and at times bittersweet. Life is time, as well as the result of life (death). Remember that lives can either be cut short, or can be long. Some spirits have not done everything they want to do. Don’t remind them of their shortcomings, instead listen to them and be a warm presence (Boundaries are still huge though). Being able to reflect on your time spent is crucial with Northeast. There are restrictions in life, and in death. Learn life from spirits, they are great sources of information if they wish to be.

Pluto - Farthest from the sun, and one of the more colder (if not coldest) entity in the Fellowship. Her energy can either be very subtle or very strong, the effects however regardless can be felt and seen. The planet is about transformation, regeneration, rebirth, death, power, rebellion. In many cases Pluto will get rid of what you don’t need anymore, to make way for the new. Northeast can be just as secretive and hidden as this planet is to us. Northeasts’s elusiveness is chosen though, it’s by her own doing. Pluto also deals with destruction, and death. Both of which Northeast rules, or associates with.
