  Music as magic is a wonderful motif! I saw an image post circulate that suggested using photos of orchestra conductors as visual reference for drawing spellcasters. The image spoke for itself: the degree of focused intensity and direction in their posture fits the concept perfectly.

  I never really felt like the “creative” type; that was always my dad and my brother. I’ve always been more interested in the “analytical” minded subject: mathematics, natural sciences, computer programming and logic.

  Ironically, my journey in music really began after I chose to cut contact with my dad, arguably the biggest musical influence in my life beginning from early childhood. I take this as spiritual validation that I made the correct choice leaving behind his narcissistic bullying and abuse.

  I play a mandolin. It’s neat that it is tuned the same as a violin, because that makes the very expansive repertoire music arranged for that instrument available to me as well. I’ve been learning mainly folk music, but I may dabble in classical more as I continue.
