Hi !!
Still listening to the latest episode. Here is just a quick note about " Native American" refrence. There were marriages between early English settlers in the American Colonies and Native Americans. The most famous is probably the marriage between Pocahontas and tobacco planter John Rolfe. They married on April 5, 1614. They had one son named Thomas. In 1616 they made the voyage to England. Unfortunaty Pocahontas fell ill and died 7 months later at the age of only 22. She was buried in a churchyard in Gravesend, England. Knowing this, it is possible that one of Kendra's ancestors married a Natice American, had children and returned to England. Clarissa This post has been edited by Clarissa_one: May 5 2008, 09:07 AM |

Is there any way to get the wand quiz linked up? I'd like to see if my wand is bigger than John's rofl!
Since the Disney days are / have been at parks far away from some of us, maybe we can get one up here at Michigan's Adventure? lol Yes I know it's not even close to a Disney scale park at all. And yes, it was good to hear you all in happy fun times with no/not much talk of that thing going on. |

I took the wand quiz!
Wand: Holly Length: 11.5 inches Center: Dragon Heartstring "Holly is the strongest of the protective woods. It is used to guard against evil in fact Holly means "holy". Holly wands excel at combat, defense, and protection spells. It is also useful in glamour's and warding. This wand tends to pick an owner who's brave and pure of heart, not to mention has a high intelligence. Holly's personality is Determined Element: Fire" They talked about Dragon Heartstring in the epi.  The link is in the first post.

He's very subtle and expressive." - Daragh Carville, screenwriter of Cherrybomb |

I'm Yew 14 inches with a Griffon Feather
Yew is the Wood of Death. Used for its strength for bows in Greek times. The yew tree's branches grow into the ground, thus when the central trunk dies, the tree lives on as the branches become trees. It symbolizes transformation, great age, and reincarnation. Yew is especially good in spells involving spirits or raising the dead, and also in the dark arts, as well as in defense magic and shield charms. Yew's personality is Enduring. Element: Earth Griffon Feather: The gryffon originated in Greece, having the head and front legs of an eagle, but the hind quarters of a lion. Gryffon feathers are used in wands of wizards or witches who posses great strength whether physically, magically or emotionally. These wands are especially good for both offensive and defensive magic. Though I admit I tried it again and got Teak 11inches with Dragon Heartstring.

Olive
11 Inches Unicorn Hair. "Olive wands tend to choose the witch or wizard who possess above average intelligence, not to mention often an overactive imagination. Olive wands are also a favorite of healers and are especially good not only for healing but also for protective spells. Many believe the bearers of Olive wands to be good at decision making - but this is not necessarily so. The owner of an olive wand may be decisive but that does not mean their decisions are the right ones. On the other side of the coin they may be so busy worrying about what is right that they are unable to ever reach a conclusion. Olive's personality is peaceful" "Unicorn Hair is best for those with pure intentions, and is almost never wielded by someone intending to use their wand for evil purposes. Especially good for love, defense and healing magic." I love to help people!! andd i want to be a vet when i get older [Animal Healer!] (: --------------------  "What'll happen to it, do you think?
