Key Symbols

• Under a canopy of firelight, two students from the School of Wands begin to dance.

• The young man is bowing and the young woman is curtseying, in a show of mutual consideration and respect.

• They’re both dressed in red, the elemental color of fire. It indicates that they’re energetic and enthused, and that they’re practicing fire magic.

• They’re positioned in the center of a magic circle, which symbolizes protection and focus. Circles also represent unity and wholeness.

• The four cardinal directions are marked by burning torches.

• The eight-pointed mosaic on the floor is reminiscent of the Wheel of the Year.

• The star design in the center of the mosaic looks like a compass rose, a mapmaker’s guide to direction.

• A dance is a synchronized movement through time and space. Some dances are choreographed. Some are rituals. Most are performed in celebration.

• This particular dance could be a rehearsal, designed to help the couple practice their steps and find their footing. While dancing can lead to friendship and romance, most dancers go through dozens of partners before they find their perfect match.

• The couple might also be preparing for a performance in front of an audience. With enough practice, their movements will look graceful and effortless. Only other dancers will realize how much time and effort went into their preparation.
