19 Real Life Examples of An Extroverted Introvert

Don’t get us wrong we love people, but if we don’t recharge we won’t feel quite ourselves. We also love to meet new people but prefer hanging out one on one as opposed to large crowds. It’s pretty confusing, so many times we question our own identity. To relieve you of some confusion, here are a few things we’d like you to know about extroverted introverts.

Hag stones, also known as Holey Stones or Witch Stones, are stones that have a naturally occurring hole and are usually found near oceans and other bodies of water. They are said to be powerful protection talismans, and when worn or carried they protect the bearer from curses, hexes, negative spirits, and harm. They have also been used to prevent nightmares, being strung on a bedpost or placed underneath pillows. It is also believed that if you peer through the hole of the stone that you can see the Fae Folk and otherworldly entities. If one broke, it is thought to have used its power to protect a life.

Untie the Wind

Of the diverse powers of the witch, control of the weather is one of the most mysterious, and feared, perhaps, by the Christian masses. It is claimed by the Christian theology that their god gave the power of the elements unto Satan; indeed, this is why he is called “Lord of the World”. It was believed that witches, who were in league with the Devil, could control the rains, the winds, and the seas with their magic. 

Sailors would purchase knotted cords from witches. When the knots were untied, the wind would pick up. The more knots one untied, the more wind there would be. 

This can still be applied today using either ones own breath, or the wind itself. 

On a windy day, take yourself to a high place where the wind blows more strongly. Take with you a red cord to be knotted in three places. Breathe in the wind. Become the wind. Be in all places at once. One and Separate by the Mystery. 

Tie the wind into the knots. The first knot should be closest to the left end, the second knot closest to the right, and the third knot to be in the middle of the cord. Accompany your actions with a charm such as:

“Each knot I make And then untie Will stir the wind To fill the sky.“ 

Return to your home, and keep the knotted cord in a high place within your home. When you need to change the wind, take the cord outside and untie the knots in reverse order. 

“This knot is untied, So the cord is free. As the cord if freed, The wind shall be.“ 

For a strong gale untie all three knots. 

If there is no wind to tie into the cord, simply use the breath. Whistle three times for a wind, and give a blast of air into the first knot. Into the second knot, give a slightly smaller stream. And into the final knot, give merely a breeze of your personal wind.

On a list of things I need in my life:

The Potter lands stretch for miles, so I need Hope to really go exploring at some point and discover an old tower that overrun with ivy and is so worn that it must be as old as Potter Manor

And I need Hope to set up all her Earth Magick (+ Ancient Arts) materials in there so that if people go looking for her in OotP Remus and Sirius can just say “She’s at the Tower” and call it that.

She traveled the world and wrote books and took lovers and broke hearts. She didn’t allow life to just happen to her. She punched and pummeled and beat the living shit out of it.
