Fern - The Witch - Opossum - They/Them

There is magic in every corner, from the bones of the dragons to the virtues of every herb and star. You know it well. You are alive. Your care is patient, stubborn, and deeply felt. 

Ways that others describe you that you endure with grace

• Eerie
• Shrewd

• Careworn
• Understanding

• Bunches of fragrant herbs
• Worn out woolen gloves
• Pocket full of breadcrumbs - for bugs
• Weatherproof poncho with a deep hood

Something you hold close to your heart

• A cast iron cookbot that's more of a cauldron, pitted but well-seasoned, passed to you by your honest grandmother when you left home

• A set of mismatched oracle cards that you and your imaginative beloved painted by hand during cosy dates of your youth 

• Harnessing the nourishing virtues of each herb and spice in your potions, teas, smokes, and cooking

• Knitting and embroidering and tying knots in bright thread in intricate patterns to attract friendship, opportunity, and little turns of good fortune
• Understanding the languages of the countless bugs that thrive across the land, and being understood by them in return

• Telling fortunes by all the usual methods - carting runes, reading tea leaves, dealing cards - and letting kith name their fears out loud

• Listen very intently
• Make tea
• Speak with purest sincerity
• Perform a magic to address some small troube
• Ask: "What troubles you?"
• Say: "There's no hurrying some things"
