Your Birthday Reveals your Magic Gift

It doesn’t matter if you believe in magic. Not even if you know what’s the number which corresponds to your birthday. Your Magic Gift is here whether you are aware of it or not. However, if you do find it out, then you’ve got more chances to ‘cultivate’ it and become master of its power.

To learn your secret gift, add the digits of your date, month and year of birth until you have a one-digit number. For example, if you were born on September 1 1975, the one-digit sum would be 5. (1 + 9 + 1 + 9 + 7 + 5 = 32 = 5)

Mine is 6.

Number 6. The Solar Apprentice

Number 6 symbolizes the sun and all that comes from our Source of Light. Therefore, you have a strong energy flow inside. You magical gift comes from the Sun. Hence, it embodies all the blessings of life and their power. You are a healer and a leader. But with great power comes great responsibility. Learn how to use your magnificent power in the most ethical way.

Your Magical Profession: Ritual Magic, all spellcasting & Healing
~~~

So what's yours?

Day 113. Five guys you find attractive.

Isn't this pretty much Day 45. List five celebrities that you’re attracted to just worded differently? Hmmm, maybe not, but I think my answers would be the same.

So... Let's see... Instead I'll post about five actors whose work I really enjoy.

Day 94. What is one quote that inspires you the most?

I don't have one, but here are some of my favourites:

Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while.
The Princess Bride.

Be patient and tough; someday this pain will be useful to you.
Ovid

Do what you can, being what you are. Shine like a glow worm, if you can't be a star.

Your body is not who you are. The mind and spirit transcend the body.
Christopher Reeve.

1. Comment to this post with "I surrender!" and I'll assign you the basis of some TV show idea. (Science fiction show, medical drama, criminal procedure, etc...)
2. Create a cast of characters, including the actors who'd play them.
3. Add in any actor photos, character bios and show synopsis that you want.
4. Post to your own journal.

I've already done 2 of these and it's a lot of fun. So, come on, surrender!

In case you don't know it, the I Surrender meme is a creative writing challenge. You are given a premise and have to create a TV series around that idea.

[livejournal.com profile] lost_spook gave me:

A detective (Victorian, Golden Age or modern, as you please) is hired by a very strange client - which leads the detective into becoming the no. 1 consulting detective for all supernatural and mystical beings in the country. There seem to be a lot of them...

[livejournal.com profile] lost_spook gave me:

Okay, you have all the might of the BBC at your disposal and a brief to make a big historical drama of a period of your choice! (Up to you whether it's well-researched and faithful or bears no real relation to actual historical facts whatsoever.) Only qualifier is - not something that's been done several times already.

(Sorry. Is that too evil?)


With that, I give you:
