DAY 15 - Pyromancy

 

Day 15

Pyromancy - 10 rows on SOCK B

image alt text

Reminder - the rest of sock B is all part of one chart today you want to knit 10 rows in the colour you choose below

Today we are studying Pyromancy.
Pyromancy is one of the earliest forms of divination and is related/subdivided down, yesterday we looked at the wood and embers today we’re looking at the flames themselves and the shapes we might see within them, some see every pop and shower of sparks as an omen, a good strong triangular flame is good, one that weaves and wavers is thought to be not so good. Diviners can use a fire, a flaming torch or candle flame when practicing.

flames as we know tend to be certain colours, but they can also be altered and storytellers would often throw certain substances on a fire to give different flames, some of these substances like salt were also used in divination practices.

Using the CHART found here, knit the next 10rows using the colour you picked yesterday to carry through and the colour that calls to you from the picture above

Day 24 Mistletoe is an Ingredient in the Antidote to Most Poisons and the Forgetfulness Potion. Mistletoe is used as Christmas decoration and was part of the decorations in the Room of Requirement just before the Christmas holidays. Luna remarked that Nargles frequently infest mistletoe. Later, Harry and Cho Chang were alone under the mistletoe, and this time Harry brought up Nargles out of nervousness, but Cho laughed and they kissed. The Lovegoods have mistletoe growing on either side of their front door with a sign saying “PICK YOUR OWN MISTLETOE”.

 Day 23. Slytherins tended to be ambitious, shrewd, cunning, strong leaders, and achievement-oriented. They also had highly developed senses of self-preservation. This means that Slytherins tended to hesitate before acting, so as to weigh all possible outcomes before deciding exactly what should be done. According to Albus Dumbledore, the qualities which Salazar valued in the students he had chosen included cleverness, resourcefulness, determination, and "a certain disregard for the rules". Dumbledore noted that all of these were qualities possessed by Harry Potter, who was a Gryffindor but was almost placed in Slytherin. Slytherins tended to take charge and possessed strong leadership skills. They were often self-assured and confident of their own competence and can be very loyal. What garden is complete without a garden snake?  PROMPT 2 Rounds on SOCK B Using Emerald Green, knit and purl the  CHART
