[stylist] Harry Potter

[Eve Sanchez]

No Sean. It does not actually pertain to witchcraft, but she uses much
from the world of withccraft,  whether it be influences of ritual,
historical figures, language and mythos. For example; Herminione casts
circles for protection. This is correct, but the method is faulty.
Would the average person know this? No. Potions and herbology are
definitely plausible courses as these things are used regularly in the
craft. Some of the spells even taken from real spells using Latin and
Middle English. Oh, and the candles everywhere... Every witch has a
supply of candles I am sure. Well, I can not say every, but it is sure
common magick. Blessed Be. Eve
