Voldemort long dead these past 20 odd years the Wizarding world is at peace. Harry an Ron work for the Ministry of Magic, Ginny and Hermione are moms.
But you knew all that didn't you?
I am Margaret Gladtree Hierophant of Avalon and observer of the Magical world, I'm also told that I'm not a bad storyteller. Well if you've come to me then it is due to one of three things, to seek my help interpreting a sacred mystery, seeking arcane principles that will aid you in some task or would like to hear a story.
.
The Wizarding world is a large place, larger than many imagine, how few even think of what lies beyond the shores of the old world to the west. The New world lands though not as covered in tradition are vast and the mysteries there without number or knowing.
You've heard of Hogwarts that foundation of Arcane practice an tradition but have you heard of Salem's Academy, Savanna's Kilcoyen school of magical arts. Both of these schools are over 400 years old and their practices sound.
Salem Academy is a school very much like Hogwarts many of it's lesson plans mirroring those of the latter because it's founder clung tightly to the traditions of the old world. That is till the establishment of the Ring Mechanics proposed by the Wizard Icabod Crane. This is by no means a new art form but merely a new approach to the use of magic. Ring Mechanics practice the production of Artifact creation which is more common in use among them.
Kilcoyen's school was established by a clan of Wizards an Witches who left the old world rejecting those traditions that they saw as to confining. It was there that was discovered the art of Sineaux or Sine auxilio which in latin translates to mean "Without support" in their case it means to cast magic without a wand using only Word an Will alone
I could continue on by telling you about Michigan Magic Arts Academy, New Orleans School and the San Francisco Institute but I don't want to bore those that don't wish to listen.
