Kapoor opened up the door to the Divination class and took a seat over near his desk to prepare for a review class on a particular sort of cartomancy.
" Welcome students. Please have a seat and class will begin shortly." | |

"Good. Equal, but opposite power. Two points."
Clifford generally gave a good answer in class, however...this. was. deep. And, it caused the Professor a due bit of worry at Cliffords introspective analogy. "Yes. Yes, you could think of her role as that of the scales in your Potions class. That's brillaint." He said. "Three points."
"A sort of balancing agent to the Magician. Very good. Two points."
"Very informative answer. Take three points."
"Very thurough explaination, Tobias. Four points."
"Good explaination. Two points."
"Two points." He said, assessing the boy's answer.
He looked over at a sundial perched at the window. "The four classical elements consist of air, water, fire, and earth. Would anyone like to guess how they relate to the cards of the minor arcana?" Tobi knew a bit more about the Minor Arcana. He raised his hand and babbled, “Sir the Minor Arcana is split into four suits corresponding to the 4 elements, beginning with Air, Air corresponds to Swords, often considered the most painful suit in the deck – there is certainly obvious symbolism there - to draw the suit of swords often means strife and turmoil but it can also mean courage and mental energy, and the ability to instigate change – there can sometimes be ‘a sort of a change is in the air’ meaning associated with this suit.
“As for Water, the natural suit correspondence is Cups. Water and Cups in Tarot is associated with emotions, so to draw the cups suit usually means emotions, often love. Since water is as necessary to us as love is to us they correspond to each other naturally. Also, The cup or cauldron is the ancient symbol for woman in many cultures, and the emotional realm was once considered to be her domain.
“Fire is the element for Wands. In ancient times, and even to this day, there is a lot of mystery and magic associated with fire, and wands naturally are considered magical. The suit represents creativity, awakening, and the vital life force, all things Fire is considered to be. Drawing a wand suit often represents new ideas a new outlook, or a creative new attitude, or perhaps renewed physical energy or heightened motivation, like someone ‘lit a fire under you.’
“Earth is related to Pentacles, the most practical and material, even financial matters. Pentacles look like coins, so it’s easy to remember. Whenever a Pentacle comes up it’s a matter of practical values, material goods, financial matters or the relationships that affect them. Their the truly ‘Earth bound’ problems and concerns we have.”

Lucy raised her hand.
"The Minor Arcana cards are split into 4 elements like you said, Air, Earth, Water, and Fire. Earth corresponds with Pentagrams, Air with Swords, Water with Cups, and Fire with Wands." She said.
She sighed deeply. A little scared that her answer might be wrong.
She waited patiently for the Professor to tell her if she was indeed correct, or hopelessly wrong.

Herminny raised her hand and said, "The two groups of cards are called Minor arcana and Major arcana".

"Well, I think air.. that's associated with the suit of swords, Sir. I really like swords.. I think they're pretty cool." Uhhhm. Right. Moving on. "And water, that one's associated with the suit of cups. I think fire is related to the suit of wands, and what was the last one? Earth? That one's related to the suit of pentacles." WOOO! " You've got it! Two points." Quote:
Originally Posted by Celandine Cela raised her hand, "Water is represented by the suit of cups, it represents emotions, how they flow and how sometimes it goes deeper than it looks at the surface. It is symbolic of the flow of consciousness and-- just like how water can be a mirror-- the suit of cups can be a mirror for how you react to things. It sorta makes sense because a cup is a vessel and if water is like emotion then looking into the cup can totally give you an idea of the depth of your feeling about a subject. Ummm Pentacles is earth and it represents the tangible, things you can touch, material wealth and the measure of time. If you look at a pentacle it's a star that keeps flowing from point to point, kind of like how certain events in your life are defining points. Sometimes it is drawn in a circle which connects it all together. That one is kind of sense-making too, earth is tangible, it's growth, toil, hard work, support and development so it makes sense that the suit of pentacles is associated with it and material wealth and hard work and success." Celandine twisted a strand of hair around her finger.
"The other two, wands and swords, they get mixed up a bunch but mostly swords are associated with air and wands with fire. So the suit of swords, with air, it's like... you know how gossip is? It can totally cut you but then it goes away as if the air has changed? It's a bit like that because speaking and breathing are just like words on the wind and the sword is sharp on both sides, you can wield it and it is powerful but it might end up cutting you. It's thought and consciousness and finding a balance between intellect and spirit." Gosh was she making sense? Cela hoped so, some of this stuff was hard to put into words.
"But wands? It's kind of my favourite. It's fire. It's passion and energy and your soul and your intent. Exactly like our wands are. There is a core and your intent can make things happen. It's ambition and it's drive and it's intensity. It's what you burn to do and yearn to be. Umm so yeah, those are the relationships and why I think it makes sense that they relate to each other." " Good. And a nice and thorough explaination of each. Three points for your answer." Quote:

Miranda was really confused about the other two. She frowned.
"The sword... It can be associated with air, because you sort of pick up a sword and swosh it around in the air..." Really? Don't you do that with a wand aswell? "The wand is fire then" Because there's no options left "Because you can produce fire with a wand! Yeah..." That made sense. Totally.

Professor Kapoor wasn't sure if the student had heard the last question or not. " But that was a few questions ago. Please try and keep up with the class." He said, giving a gentle reminder.
" Alright, students, that'll be all for today. Next subject will be on Cheirology, study up on the fingers and mounts. Your homework shall be posted on the Divination board. Please remember to check back for it. Enjoy the rest of your day." He announced to the students.

Herminny left the classroom a little dazed, too much is on my mind she could barely concentrate these days she thought as she made a metal note to check the divination board later for the homework and also get to the hall and eat something thinking mabe I have not been eating enough to sustain myself and it may be affecting my concentration.
