yo so what if Pippa is a she/they nonbinary femme who sent up Pentangle’s bc they were sick of nonbinary and genderfluid magic casters not having schools to learn magic in bc gender segregated methods. And they were tired of young trans casters having to transfer schools and leave all their friends behind as they figured themselves out just so they could learn magic approp. to their gender.

So they set up a school that integrated prev. segregated methods of casting so that students would find the right balances of magic vibes to make their casting work, in a logistics structure where children don’t have to uproot their lives when they figure out they’re trans and nb children don’t have to choose between closeting/misgendering themselves for education and self- or coven teaching themselves magic

Pentangle’s School for Hardcore Crafty Types ftw

#pippa pentangle #i'm super invested in the idea of magic actually being gendered as in the energy works differently depending there on #trans witches and trans wizard are common and chill - ppl know themselves and their magic leads them #there's never been a problem w that other than the logistics required for students who figure it out in their teens getting to the places #where they can learn; but while witchery and wizardry are both fine w solid/stable already recognised genders they're not great at nb and #fluid - their teaching methods just aren't equip to deal w magic that doesnt work within gender patterns and ppl whose magic can work #through both depending in the situation #Pippa spent her time at uni researching limitations of magic and knew there was a deal there bc sometimes her magic didn't work the way #witches magic is supposed to and then they realised it was bc their soul is a blended and they can do all kinds of new things no one had #really bothered to research before then. so she wrote their dissertation on the possibilities of trans focused magic casting and ppl were #like ??? and !!! and ~~~ and when they started teaching in other school she saw so many students struggle to sort things out and have to #leave their friends behind when they twigged to why their magic works in specific ways and then students whose magic could barely work at al #and they hated it. so when their aunt w no children who was also was fond of the tiny pink witch passed away and left the family school to #Pippa they were like 'imma change all this nonsense for the better' and set up Pengtangle's so that where ppl could just learn magic as best #they could by learning all different types and pushing boundaries and finding new possibilities #they'd already twigged in to the fact that magical children were being born into non-magic families and no one was training them and they #were like 'that is Dangerous we're not about that' so set up scholarship systems for students who needed it to relocate etc #slowly but surely Pentangle's became a hub of modern inclusive magical learning run by a nb lesbian and the whole place is so so queer #the worst witch
