Ilvermorny School Of Witchcraft And Wizardry

The meaning of each Ilvermorny house

This section focuses on the bare bones of each house. Each house represents the seasons.

Wampus:

The Wampus values pragmatism and seeks tangible results. It takes swift action to achieve its goals and is focused on the external world and events. Its approach is to seek advantages and ways to win in every situation, prioritizing competition and tangible proof supported by logic. Action is key to success. They believe that it's their words that define them, but their actions. 

Horned Serpent:

Many individuals shape their perspective of the world based on personal theories. They question why the world is the way it is and consider the possibility that it may not be as it seems. The Horned Serpent is known for its careful examination and analysis of everything. They strive to align their mind with the world and vice versa. Their focus is on the internal world and pondering things for the sake of understanding, rather than seeking a specific objective.  

Pukwudgie:

Pukwudgies are individuals who embrace their true selves and express themselves confidently in the world. They are attuned to their emotions and trust their instincts and feelings, wherever they may take them. When they form close bonds with others, they remain fiercely loyal. Despite being social creatures, Pukwudgies do not conform to societal norms. They make their decisions by looking into their heart

Thunderbird:

Change is a profound idea that resonates with the soul. The Thunderbird, in particular, yearns for change within itself. It longs for the freedom to think and desire as it pleases, regardless of external circumstances. The Thunderbird seeks personal growth and improvement in ways that are meaningful to it. Rather than striving for victory, it seeks happiness as its ultimate goal. As Irish philosopher and priest John O'Donohue suggests, the soul has the power to transform and elevate all aspects of life, as it is a divine entity.
