Light & Dark
The materialist insists on facts, on history, on the force of circumstances and the animal wants of man; the idealist on the power of Thought and Will, on inspiration, on miracle.. — Ralph Waldo Emerson, “The Transcendentalist”
Drown the rats with tongue of black Pinch the swollen fly
Stand upwind of trench and lime Salve your rosy hives
O, this is what the Doctor teaches! This is what the Father preaches!
Our Ancestors should always be remembered, for they guide and protect us.
I am reminded to remember, to pay proper respect to those whom lived and died throughout the centuries. That there are Spirits and Souls with use guiding us with their Wisdom and Experience and reaches out to us all from the other-side to protect us. Through understanding and our own strength we honour our Ancestors, this is my first Law.
Trust and honour yourself.
Despite us having the possibility of being a part of a family one must know thyself and be who you are meant to be. To know yourself is to know your possibilities. I am not speaking about you loving yourself before you love another. But the principle is the same.
Honour and respect others of our kind, regardless of rank or knowledge, or gender.
I teach those that we must honour and respect all individuals for who they are and what they know. Our blood binds us together as a family and thus can stand united against all forms. No matter which side is chosen in the end each and every individual gains knowledge and power at their own pace when ready.
Realize that we must be strong and united in supporting ideals against those without
While we will always stand in power as an individual, we stand with even more personal power by our support. This way we no longer stand alone as an easy target but instead will stand in strength with total support. Be through the use of mutual respect we can achieve anything against our foes. Know that this can be a power to be wielded against those that are against us.
Keep the secrets that are entrusted to you but share the wisdom with your Brothers and Sisters.
Do not pass on what knowledge you have learned with those that are Mundane, that are not of your Faction, and that are not of your Coven. There is a reason as to why I keep secrets to myself, and only with my Brothers and my Sisters will I share my Knowledge. Only through their progress in their Magic or means by their respect or of their thinking and or actions will they earn the Secrets. Those that have proven their worth have the right to learn, a rightful inheritance that is instructed through our Ancestors and through me.
Plot Ideas; see below and give me a hollar.
Plot Ideas:So Muade is actually a Dark Magic user, trying to be good. I'm looking for someone (perhaps a romantic fling or love potion user) to persuade Muade to go Dark again. Or have someone that find out about her bit of history and tries to keep her on the 'right-grey-path'.
Knowledge is Power to be used with Wisdom.
I continue to do what has been done throughout the ages, to use the knowledge I have gained tempered with wisdom, in order to better myself as an individual but see how the factions and the covens grow. We are all here, together, and how we achieve our goals is up to us.

Mind the beasties in the waste That burrow ‘neath the skin
Pray don’t scratch, or Mum will blanch And burn her firstborn kin
O, this is what the Doctor teaches! This is what the Father preaches!
What could Muade Du Tremé Teach
She derives her power from fire (pyyro), the cleansing heat of cinder and flame; water (edor), the faithful rhythms of river and wave; air (anemos), the invisible currents lacing the sky; and earth (yi-theos), the bones and soil on which we walk, and where we rest in death. The last but not forgotten is the fifth element Spirit (aether), the power to defy the limits of space and time, and tear the soul from the body. Aether is something Muade does not teach.
Elements in their natural state are neither good nor evil, but some of the witches invest them with sinister power and they become tools of certain Covens. Rumour has it Muade knows this all too well.
Possible teachings:
- Can teach in many different types of activities including astrology, divination, spell casting, and spirit communication. It includes an understanding of many cultures, nations and religions. Again, she may understand different manners in casting a spell but doesn't mean she would practice it. (Spell Casting, the power to change and control evens through the use of incantations and more.)
- Can teach how Channel, a.k.a. Channeling, a means to invoke extra forms of energy by focusing on external forces. She calls it Force Magic, as she has come across a few that inherently does not have magic but are powerful channelers through the means of items and or other witches.
- She does not specialize in potion brewing but can offer the means to brew and concoct potions, remedies and elixers that have supernatural properties.
- She has the means to aid another Witches in harnessing their abilities. From telekinesis, elemental control, any form of divination.
- Has a vast knowledge in which she can teach in the ability of casting spells, a defining characteristic of a wich. The means employed to carry out magical actions.
- Through her Shop, Cabinet of Curiosities, she has the means to collect and sell tools required for spells, incantations and other means of uses. Such as amulets, Grimoires, Herbs and Talismans. Through the means of her contact she can aid in a witch by sending them to someone who is more specialized.
- She has built up connections so that if she does not know something she can always point someone in the right direction.
All these can be taught, as long as you are willing to pay the price.
OOC NOTE:I have designed this character to not be the kind-hearted old hag that you can come across when it comes to the 'Mentor' types. So don't expect a coddling, patient woman. So yes, this means she makes use of 'black magic / dark magic'. Please approach me in whispers for possible ideas, some things are more known than the other.
