Magicians

[close] This is a group dedicated to the sacred reading of the Harry Potter series for those who were inspired by HPST podcast (harrypottersacredtext.com) It functions as an online version of groups that have popped up in various locations around the world. Whether you're here because you live too far away from an in-person group or you're here because you'd rather write your thoughts or any other reason; we're glad you're here. Participation is the key! Without your posts, this group cannot function. We need you. Thank you for sharing your opinions, thoughts and feelings. Our esteemed founder is Alyce. She is a mid-twenties PhD student studying mass communication and media effects. She has been in love with Harry Potter since childhood, as she's sure so many of you have. She considers herself to be a Raverin, and her patronus is a salmon [which is a weird patronus but Evanna Lynch has the same one so I guess it's okay]. She lives in the US in the state of CT and is obsessed with her cat Binx. We owe the beginnings of this group to Alyce and are forever grateful to her for that. Please dig in at your own pace and don't be afraid to go deep. We have a lot of discussions going and the best part of the internet is that it's evergreen. If you need anything, please contact our moderator: Rachel W https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/28210353-rachel-w

[close] In 1692, the International Statute of Secrecy was signed, a law that moved the world of magic from publicity into obscurity. After the newly formed Ministry of Magic's failed attempt to get protection from the British Monarchy, magic seemingly vanished from the face of the earth. The Ardanes, a collection of 161 laws, were passed to keep the pious folk of the cross and their broken god from discovering and burning mages. Now, the vows of silence are breaking as more and more come forward to the media. Is this 'New Age' truly a time when magic can be practiced in the light of day? Or will they once gain be tortured for their crimes against the sanctimonious Church? Only time can tell. Mystic Harbor replaces Monterey, California
