Tiny Spirits, lined up together, Filling altars and standing on shelves, Touching lives and opening paths: Come alive with each quiet touch.
Rough-hewn godden of strange places, I call you from the dark of the wood And ask that you come to the surface, Facing the light of devotion and joy.
Whether you kindle the flame of devotion, Or howl at the moon in the dark of night, I see you here, sliding from the wood grain, Dancing forth to seek altars and pocket prayers.
Aromatic cedar is your calling card, A joyful connection of fire and wood That reminds me of piety and work. You open the paths to inspiration.
So however I encounter you, However I open your door, However you find an altar home: Know that you take flight with my blessing.
Dragons are very reserved and private creatures that do not like disclosing information about themselves, especially when someone is sharing this information without permission. Dragon and Draconic Magick both incorporate dragons into their workings. The key difference is Dragon Magick is working with the dragons directly, and Draconic Magic is working primarily with the symbolism, draconic aspects, and the overall virtues of these incredibly fierce beings.
Dragons are primal and fundamental beings, recognizing nine elements throughout their presence. These nine elements are extraordinarily linked to them in every manner. These nine elements are Fire, Earth, Air, Water, Spirit, Dark, Light, Storm, and Chaos.
Each of the nine dragon elements have a primary ruler, who thrives in each element and oversees all dragons of aforementioned element. There are also Planetary, Sabbat, Metallic, Fae, and Aspect dragons, all of which still fall under the authority of their corresponding elemental leader.
The Elemental Ruler Dragons prefer to be called their respective elements and will sometimes share private names with colleagues. When a bond is created you can ask for a name if desired, although they vary, or may not give you a title at all.

Lotus Pixie eggs run hot. The specimen pictured here could only be displayed in this fashion for a few minutes before the young pixie inside was at risk of burning up entirely, its fragile shell, unbelievably, evaporating into the air. It’s because of this thermal anomaly that Lotus Pixies (though avian-like, as are most of their species) must leave their eggs in the care of the waters beneath the flowers from which they get their name. To find a Lotus Pixie egg, simply look for the telltale bubbles disturbing a lotus’ leaves. The heat from the egg boils the muddy waters while the aquatic environment ensures that the egg never gets too hot - in perfect balance the life inside is protected.

no offense, but what was the point of that cool older lady character in Spirited Away
except, you know, to make me question my sexuality at 12 during midnight rewatches as I looked at her weirdly pretty mouth and had Questions
!!!
me, falling in love with every woman I see whose purpose is to eat and be pretty:
I’m late to the post but I wanted to add some fun facts! Lin and the other bath women are called yuna and are slug spirits. According to the art book, however, Lin was originally meant to be a fox, which you can still sorta see in her features. (The English version says weasel but that could be a translation error?) The wiki, on the other hand, says she is portrayed as a human.
Also, when working on the concept art, Mr. Miyazaki would do rough corrections, and would “constantly flatten Lins chest line,” but she was ultimately given a more shapely chest to contrast her tom-boy personality
The point of Lin is to play the “cool older-sister” role, both teasing Chihiro and watching over her.
She’s also there to make us gay.
When I say “characters who are kind but NOT nice” I’m talking about Lin.
