What Series Element is Hiding in Melody Barebone's Hopscotch Chant? Day 3 of the 12 Days of #FantasticBeasts

On the third day of Fantastic Beasts, my true love said to me... Did Earth, Wind, and Fire write Melody's Hopscotch chant?

Welcome to day 3 of the 12 Days of Fantastic Beasts! Today I have the third and final post focused on Modesty Barebone. Be sure to check out part one of her hopscotch chant from yesterday.

SPOILERS ABOUND! DO NOT PROCEED IF YOU HAVE NOT YET SEEN THE MOVIE OR READ THE SCRIPT BOOK!

Dougal the Demiguise by Kayla Perkinson

Now that you're all here for the spoilers and discussion...

Part 1 of Modesty's Hopscotch Chant is posted here.

Part 2 of Modesty's Chant from Fantastic Secrets Behind Fantastic Beasts:

Modesty’s chant continues with details of these witches’ deaths:

Witch number one, drown in
a river!
Witch number two, gotta
noose to give her!
Witch number three . . . (p. 154)

Notice that in page numbers, the above section with witch one and two comes after the stanza below with witch three and four. Rowling mixed it up a bit for us, not wanting to make it too easy. And perhaps to end on the most important one, for this book at least.

. . . Witch number three,
gonna watch her burn,
Witch number four, flogging
take a turn. (p. 54)

Drowning, hanging, burning, and flogging—while all are traditional methods for killing witches, my guess is that Rowling uses Modesty’s chant to hint at particular deaths to come. Before series end, we can expect to see someone die from a variation on each of these, and we’ve already seen one.

While none of the three deaths in this first movie was a literal flogging, two were symbolically so. A flogging is a beating with a stick or whip. Senator Shaw and Mary Lou took a flogging by Obscurus, and Chastity was the casualty of this last attack. Shaw’s scarred and broken body, which Mary Lou’s later reflected, showed all evidence of having taken a beating.

I want you to notice something else about the four types of deaths mentioned. Something elemental:

“drown in a river” = Water
“gotta noose to give her” = suffocation, lack of Air
“gonna watch her burn” = Fire
“flogging take a turn” = a switch, from a tree, Earth

This elemental running bit will be found and highlighted a few times in my clue book. The four elements run through the symbols of Ilvermorny and make up four parts of the theme of five, which this series is based on.

I’m willing to bet we’ll hear more of Modesty’s chant in the second film to give us a hint of the most important “death”...death number five. Tomorrow we'll move on to a different character and clue from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them!

What do you think? Is Rowling hinting at deaths to come here? And who do you think will not survive the Fantastic Beasts pentalogy?

What Secrets are Hiding in Modesty Barebone's Hopscotch Chant? Day 2 of the 12 Days of #FantasticBeasts

On the second day of Fantastic Beasts, my true love said to me... A witch flying on a switch is about to die!

The second day of the 12 Days of Fantastic Beasts is here! I hope you caught yesterday's character analyses of Modesty Barebone. Today we continue with the clues hiding in her hopscotch chant. All of these are excerpts from my clue book: Fantastic Secrets Behind Fantastic Beasts (releasing this week!).

SPOILERS ABOUND! DO NOT PROCEED IF YOU HAVE NOT YET SEEN THE MOVIE OR READ THE SCRIPT BOOK!

Niffler by Kayla Perkinson

Now, let's continue...In a couple of different scenes in the Second Salem Church, we see Modesty skipping through chalked blocks, singing:

My momma, your momma,
gonna catch a witch,
My momma, your momma,
flying on a switch,
My momma, your momma,
witches never cry,
My momma, your momma,
witches gonna die! (p. 52)

Take out the repetitive “my momma, your momma,” a hint as to who the witch is, and we have:

gonna catch a witch,
flying on a switch,
witches never cry,
witches gonna die!

Question—Why is the witch flying on a switch instead of the classical broom? Of course, a broom is a type of thick switch, but more likely, Rowling is hinting at the switch used by parents to spank children.

And who is the momma we see spanking a child in Fantastic Beasts? Mary Lou’s preferred weapon, however, is Credence’s own belt. She was also dead before the end of the film.

Mary Lou was a witch in both mannerisms and heredity. As the descendant of Scourers (see her character entry), she had a witch or wizard in her family tree. Through her myopic view of people different from herself and her mistreatment of the children who should be under her love and protection, she is presented as a cruel, abusive woman, hearkening back to an older understanding of witch.

So, Mary Lou, flying on her switch of a belt, never cried in her abusive treatment of Credence and died at the end of Fantastic Beasts.

We'll continue with the second half of Modesty's chant tomorrow to see what hints Rowling might be hiding for the whole series. Be sure to come back for all 12 days!

Have you seen the film yet? What did you think of the Second Salemers? Did Modesty's chant surprise you?

Is Modesty Barebone a Witch in Hiding? Day 1 of the 12 Days of #FantasticBeasts

On the first day of Fantastic Beasts, my true love said to me... Look! A witch in hiding!

Today we start the 12 Days of Fantastic Beasts! To celebrate, I'm sharing with you one of my character analyses from Fantastic Secrets Behind Fantastic Beasts (releasing this week!): Modesty Barebone.

SPOILERS ABOUND! DO NOT PROCEED IF YOU HAVE NOT YET SEEN THE MOVIE OR READ THE SCRIPT BOOK!

Now, for those of you eager to start delving into the secrets of JK Rowling's newest work, here are a few thoughts on Modesty Barebone:

From Fantastic Secrets Behind Fantastic Beasts

At eight, Modesty is the youngest of the adopted Barebone children. We have no idea how long ago she joined the family, but as Credence informs us, she still misses her eleven brothers and sisters. Perhaps this is why she, above the older Chastity and Credence, shows more spirit and rebels against Mary Lou. You have to cheer when she throws her Second Salemer leaflets into the air in glee, despite Chastity’s warnings.

The biggest hint of something more going on with Modesty comes when Credence sneaks into her bedroom, believing her to be the Obscurus.

A single bed, an oil lamp, a sampler on the wall: AN ALPHABET OF SIN. Modesty’s dolls lined up on a shelf. One with a little noose around its neck, another tied to a stake.
(p. 201).
It’s a bleak room, witness to a bleak childhood. No wonder in her fantasies, magic would seem a wondrous gift rather than the abomination her Ma makes it to be. Perhaps that’s why she hid away the toy wand Credence finds.

In the confrontation that follows, while we know it is Credence who kills Mary Lou as the Obscurus, it appears to be Modesty who snatches the belt out of her hands with magic. Modesty who makes the belt slither out of her reach like a snake. And Modesty who looks back at her mother with defiance.

For Modesty is the defiant one. Defiantly she sought to protect her older brother against the foul Senator. Afraid and upset when their mother beats him, Modesty showed love in protecting her older brother from the woman who was supposed to love and nurture him.

It seems Mary Lou has been forming her family from the children of witches and wizards in order to squash the magic out of them. If the hint of magic in Modesty is real, I believe she will play a key role in saving Credence before series end.

One question regarding Modesty—where did she get the wand from? Was it really a toy, or was it given her as a nod of encouragement from an interested party?

I have more on Modesty in other sections of my clue book and will discuss the chant she hopscotches to tomorrow. Be sure to come back!

Teaching Harry Potter to Creative Writers

I'm thrilled to announce my newest release from Deep River Press. Based on the Fifth Anniversary edition of A Writer's Guide to Harry Potter, I have partnered with co-author Dalton Perkinson to create Teaching Harry Potter to Creative Writers: An Educator's Guide. It is our aim with this new book to help teachers of creative writing struggling with engaging their students to better help them channel their creativity to empower their own voice through storytelling.

“There are countless books about good writing, but few that peel back the curtain on what makes a book beloved. TEACHING HARRY POTTER TO CREATIVE WRITERS is a treasure trove for writers and teachers alike, filled with nuggets of insight into the characters, world, and techniques J.K. Rowling used to work her magic.”

-- Martina Boone, award-winning author of COMPULSION and the Heirs of Watson Island trilogy.

Dalton is a linguistics teacher who has for many years helped students communicate more effectively. Our Teachers Guide couples his skill of engaging students in the classroom with my experience of teaching creative writers how to use techniques learned from studying JK Rowling to empower their own stories with Harry Potter as our text.

We will be celebrating the release of our book in conjunction with the release of JK Rowling's newest story and film: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. You can get both books at our release event at Stone's Education Superstore in Raleigh, NC this Friday, November 18, starting at 4 pm.

The Transformation of a Goddess Through Centuries and Cultures

This is an article I originally posted for the awesome author Kaitlin Bevis over a year ago. Following a recent conversation on Twitter regarding the spread of myths from one culture to another, I thought it would be nice to update it a bit. My analysis focuses on imagery rather than a written myth. Until reading and writing became widespread, iconography was the preferred method for communicating ideas and beliefs through symbols. It's fascinating to me to see how these powerful images transformed across cultures and centuries by the new people who embraced them.

From Amazons to Artemis – Anatolia Rocks the Goddess

As a reader and a writer, I’ve been following the #WeNeedDiverseBooks campaign with a lot of interest. To me, it only makes sense that the diversity of reality is represented both on the page and on the screen. And as the mother of two kids born of a mixed ethnic, national, and religious heritage, I believe it’s important that they, and others like them, see themselves in the books they read and the heroes they admire.

But this desire to see ourselves reflected in our contemporary heroes is nothing new. Indeed, it goes back to the most ancient of days when people saw themselves in the adventures of their gods and goddesses…the novels of their day. As Cilla, the main character in my YA contemporary novel Southern Fried Wiccan discovers, being able to see yourself in the divinity you worship is quite empowering. The first time Cilla saw the Divine depicted as a young, powerful woman, rather than an old, white dude was game-changing. In gazing upon Artemis of Ephesus, Cilla realized that a spark of the divine could live in someone like herself.

Asia Minor, or Anatolia, the home of Ephesus and the peninsula where most of modern-day Turkey now lives, is one of the major cradles of civilizations. It was here that the earliest sanctuary has been discovered, built by hunter-gatherers BEFORE settling down to farm. Here that many of the great Greek and Roman cities birthed the thinkers that pushed forward what we now call western civilizations. It was also in Anatolia that a long line of mother goddesses flourished in the hearts of her followers, worshiped by both men and women who envisioned the divine power that unites us all in the fertility of a woman’s body.

In Turkish, Anatolia is called Anadolu, translated by Dr. Rashid Ergener literally as “land of the mothers.” Anatolia is indeed filled with powerful mothers, goddesses who transformed throughout history due to cultural changes. And this, to me, is where the beauty of diversity fully blossoms. Because we can see in each of these incarnations how the people of the time adapted their goddess in their own image, while still preserving a central core from the female power she preceded.

Mother Goddess Catal Hoyuk

Mother Goddess of Catal Hoyuk

The Mother Goddess from Çatal Höyük is one of the earliest examples of mother goddess worship from Anatolia. Found in a grain bin of a Neolithic settlement over 8000 years old, this ancient female gives birth in a throne-like chair supported by lions (or leopards or panthers). She is the most famous among many similar fertility goddess figures found at this site.

The beauty of this figure is in her raw, natural power. In naked glory, she brings forth life in harmony with nature. Notice she is not subjecting those felines -- they are supporting her, but still stand proud and powerful beside her. To me, she embodies eternal female power. And she must have to the ancients as well, because her legacy survived the transformations below to last until today.

Cybele

This Phrygian mother-goddess has lost a bit of weight and wears better clothes than her predecessor, but she still sits on a throne framed by lions and displays her divine power in all its wild and fertile glory.

Cybele’s “association with hawks, lions, and the stone of the mountainous landscape of the Anatolian wilderness, seem to characterise her as mother of the land in its untrammeled natural state, with power to rule, moderate or soften its latent ferocity, and to control its potential threats to a settled, civilised life.” (source)

Cybele sits higher above her feline companions than does her predecessor. And her city-crown and civilized clothes now separate her more from her wild, animal companions. Is this shift a natural transformation to represent the sedentary culture of the people now worshiping her? Or is it a reflection of the rising city-state rulers seeking to harness her natural power for their own political purposes?

Artemis of Ephesus

Whether the shifting image of the goddess was a natural transformation or one controlled for a political purpose, the power of women aligned with nature and untamed by civilization continued to inspire and awe. According to legend, the Amazons are said to have founded Ephesus. It was here that the Temple of Artemis, one of the Great Wonders of the Ancient World, drew worshipers for thousands of years.

In Ephesus, Artemis was viewed from a different angle than Artemis in other parts of the Greek world. That is because she draws directly from the imagery of Cybele and the mother goddess of Çatal Höyük above. While this goddess is standing in the pillar pose rather than seated on a throne, you can see that she is still envisioned as mistress of the animals with lion-like figures at her side as well as the stags, bees, and bulls depicted along her ceremonial clothes.

Most people think the protrusions from Artemis’ chest are breasts, but there are other theories, such as pollen sacks (she was in part a bee goddess) as well as bull testicles (which were sacrificed to the goddess). She has grown in power both in her crown of the city as well as in her adornment of the natural world.

Mary, Mother of God

Hagia Sophia's Virgin Mary

Although Mary is not officially considered a goddess and is indeed not from the Anatolia region, it was in 431 CE at the Council of Ephesus, home of Artemis, that Mary was first given the title Theotokos (birth-give of god) and depicted with many of Artemis’ attributes and titles, such as Queen of Heaven. A church was dedicated to her in Ephesus on the ruins of a Roman temple to the Muses, and legend has it that, after the crucifixion, she traveled with John to Ephesus and lived out her days here.

With the worship of Artemis now in decline, thanks to the rise of Christianity, Artemis’ loyal followers transferred their adoration to a new face of the female divine. From this icon at Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, at the heart of the apse of the great Byzantine basilica, we see the same commanding mother on a throne of power. Bordering her (out of sight of this picture), she is garlanded with natural images of vines, flowers, berries and pears.

Four amazing females. Four inspiring images of feminine power. Each one slightly different than the one before, re-visioned and re-clothed in the costume of her own particular culture, and yet still lit by the ancient spark of universal subconscious that brought her to life.

If cultures have been reimagining the divine in their own image for millennia, why would we stop doing so today? Especially when it so profoundly affects how our children see themselves?

Announcing My New Harry Potter for Writers Video Series

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyWj3uphEDs3kb8A1lFoRqFAVNJQKI2An

Harry Potter for Writers Video Series

I'm so excited to show you my latest creation. Recently (I know I'm late to the party!) I've gotten hooked on YouTube videos for learning almost everything new. My daughter got me started when she learned how to sew solely from YouTube instructional videos.

So, I started thinking, with the new edition of A Writer's Guide to Harry Potter being out, maybe I could try to put together some of my own how-to videos based on the book and my favorite posts from this blog. I didn't realize how much work it is! But it's been fun learning.

Now that I have the basics covered, I want to share the three I've done so far with you. And what better day than September 1, as well all head back to Hogwarts in our hearts! I hope these videos will help you peer beneath the surface to how J.K. Rowling created all that magic.

I'll keep adding to the playlist, but would love any comments as to what topics you'd love to see covered in these videos.

Here's the playlist where the three videos I've created so far are listed:

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyWj3uphEDs3kb8A1lFoRqFAVNJQKI2An

And here are the three videos embedded here.
The first is an introductory video to the series:

The second covers one of my favorite clues, and one of JK Rowling's most powerful, from the scene where Snape Kills Dumbledore:

And the third analyzes a fascinating, and often overlooked, element that can be a part of the Hero's Journey, The Forbidden Door:

As my channel and videos are brand new, I'd love it if you could take the time to like and comment on the videos and follow my channel.

Thanks!

The Original Potter Generation: Where Are They Now? (Survey)

Does the magic of Harry Potter still call to you?

Following up on last week's post on The Next Generation of Harry Potter fans, I've been wondering a lot about the original generation of fans and where are they now. During the last ten days as I've attended multiple Harry Potter and the Cursed Child release events and A Writer's Guide to Harry Potter book signings, I've been blessed to meet and talk with a ton of fans

From young children who are just now discovering the books on their own, to families of readers who have shared their Potter love together, to adults who grew up on the series and still look forward to hearing more about Harry and friends, the love of Potter continues. However, it's the original set of kids growing up during the height of the Harry Potter mania, who are now adults, that I'm most curious about at the moment.

From personal stories readers gave shared with me, I've been blessed to hear of how many were affected deeply by their love of JK Rowling's stories, and not only regarding their reading habits. So many fans developed deep commitment to social concerns and justice after engaging in the trials of Harry and friends as they fought the fear and prejudice of pure bloods against mudbloods or witches and wizards against other magical beings. Others were influenced to become writers or other creative careers because of the stories.

If you are one of these fans, I ask you to take part of my survey for an upcoming article.

If you were:

a Harry Potter fan during the original release of the books (1997 - 2997)
born between ~1982 - ~1998 (thereabouts)
influenced in your life by reading Harry Potter

Then please consider participating in the survey by answering the following:

Your name (or pseudonym if you want to be anonymous)
Your age
How old you were when you read your first Potter story
How long it took you to read the whole series (mention time waiting for releases)
How many release parties you attended
Where you were living during the time of the series' release
Where you live now
The most interesting thing that happened to you as a result of reading Harry Potter
How you participated in fandom, then and now
How reading Harry Potter affected your life choices then and now.

Please answer as many as you will, especially the last one, but you do not have to answer them all. And you can be general in regard to personal details if you wish.

You can reply with your answers in the comment trail here, or, if you prefer, send me your owl at SPSipal AT gmail DOT com.

I'll update this blog regarding when and where the article will be posted.

Thank you all for sharing your experience with me (and the world!).

Also, be sure to check out my article on the highly popular AlwaysJKRowling fansite this week, Harry Potter: From Story to Myth. There's a great giveaway included!
