That's awesome. I assumed that must be the case as there is too much in the stories that are more than superficial research of the occult.

Hermione's name, according to Rowling, was inspired by Shakespeare's A Winter's Tale.

She only says that so youth dont google "hermetic magic" and study it.

 

That would be a terrible fate.

 

They might even wind up on daobums.

[Nungali]

I doubt anyone that googles something then goes and studies it    

 

But yes, it does seem some youths end up in daobums  

 

 

 

-  and some even 'wind up '  on daobums

In JK Rowling's fictional universe.

 

An evil wizard achieves immortality by breaking their soul into 7 pieces.

 

And fusing the pieces of his soul with various relics.

 

To maintain a presence in the physical world, even should their body die.

 

These relics are referred to as horcruxes.

 

And I would guess there are a massive number of youth who googled it trying to learn more.

Kind of relevant, I think, but I have heard that hogwarts and its milieu (forgive me for the pretentious wording), was based on the various societies at Yale. That’s where the 🏴‍☠️ are to, isn’t it?

 

Source: stuff I’ve heard. I’ll leave it to the civilized bums to correct

[Nungali]

What about a meeting of 'prominent  men ' from around the world  that go through weird rituals, meeting at a campground   and in front of a statue of a giant owl symbolic burn their 'cares'  (in a ritual called the 'Cremation of Care '  so they will feel free of the responsibilities  that their adverse decisions will make on other people .

 

I can do whatever I want to you  bunch  .... magic owl take away my bad karma 

 

- you think I am making it up dont ya  ?  

 

 

 

[Surya]

So that’s why Bibi Voldemort «He who must not be named» killed Hedwig

 

But honestly, I am not surprised. There is just to much insanely F ed up things going on that I can not explain in any other way than that we are ruled by some real demoniac Fs.

Do you know the stories, and if the story is relevant to her character more than in name? I asked Gemini for a summary (spoiler below), and I see that the kingdom of Bohemia is part of the story. And also nugnali posted a vid about the bohemian grove. And than you have this bohemian sub culture thing. I feel like there is more to this than meets the eye. I’m sure some here are able to better understand it.

 

Spoiler

Shakespeare's play The Winter's Tale is a romance that unfolds in two distinct parts, one tragic and one comedic, spanning a period of sixteen years.
The first half of the play is a tragedy centered on King Leontes of Sicilia. He becomes consumed by a sudden and unfounded jealousy, believing his pregnant wife, Queen Hermione, is having an affair with his best friend, King Polixenes of Bohemia. Ignoring all reason and the pleas of his court, Leontes imprisons Hermione and banishes his newborn daughter. He even sends for a verdict from the Oracle of Delphi, but when it declares Hermione and Polixenes innocent, he rejects the divine judgment. This rash action is followed by a series of devastating events: his young son, Mamillius, dies, and news arrives that Hermione has also died. Overwhelmed with grief and remorse, Leontes vows to mourn his wife and son for the rest of his life. Meanwhile, his infant daughter is abandoned on the coast of Bohemia and raised by a shepherd.
The second half of the play skips forward sixteen years. The abandoned daughter, now named Perdita, has grown into a beautiful young woman. She falls in love with Prince Florizel, the son of King Polixenes. Polixenes, like Leontes before him, is against his son marrying a "low-born" shepherdess. He and his courtier, Camillo, disguise themselves to attend a festival where Florizel and Perdita plan to marry. When Polixenes reveals himself and forbids the union, Florizel and Perdita flee to Sicilia with Camillo's help.
In Sicilia, they are welcomed by the now-repentant and sorrowful King Leontes. Perdita's true identity is revealed through tokens left with her as a baby, and Leontes is overjoyed to be reunited with his long-lost daughter. Polixenes and Leontes reconcile, and all seems to be well. The play culminates in a miraculous and moving final scene. Paulina, a loyal friend to Hermione, reveals a statue of the deceased queen. When Leontes expresses his sorrow and love, the statue "comes to life." Hermione, who had been in hiding for sixteen years, is reunited with her husband and daughter, bringing the play to a joyous and redemptive conclusion.

 

Id love more threads like this one: threads about esoteric societies and concepts in fiction. One on Shakespeare could be great as well, but I haven’t read any of his plays. Only know the basics of the basics, but he (them?) was/were quite enigmatic, no?

According to Rowland, she chose the name to characterise Hermione's parents (the parents chose the name to show of how educated they are); the story itself was not relevant to the character of Hermione.
