Author's notes: First of all, thanks to my beta, who will be credited after the reveal. All characters belong to JKR, &tc; title and quoted lyrics (only a few lines: this is not a songfic) are Vanessa Carlton's. To my giftee: I'm sorry to have this in for you so late, but I hope you enjoy it.

About the traditions you requested and the way I used them: I included Buddhist meditation and moon symbolism, taking the interpretation of the tarot moon card: the Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition (quoted from this page). However, drawing from my own experience with meditation, I used it as an almost customizable tradition, something that's different for everyone, and not necessarily needing to follow strict rules or techniques. They were... Luna- and Ginny-ified to fit the plot, is what I'm trying to say, essentially.
