February's meeting will be held at The Armory. The topic is (Astral) Projection, and is being led by Bonnie. If others wish to join in with their method of projection, she's open to that.
Projection in Bonnie's world can be broken down to several different levels and approaches, and is closely linked with teleportation. Projection allows the witch to manifest their consciousness outside of their body, and travel to other locations in their world, or to other worlds/dimensions entirely. There are several different levels to projection, depending on what the user needs.
Projection that allows the witch to move around a similar manner as a ghost. Their astral form remains intangible and invisible.
Projection that allows the user to be tangible but invisible. This allows the users to have basic interactions with the world in their spirit form, but also puts them at risk. The astral form can be damaged, and damage done to the astral form will also be done to the physical form.
Projection that allows the user to be visible but intangible.
Projection that allows the user to be visible and tangible.
Biolocation projection. This allows both the users physical body and astral body to move around at the same time. This is considered advanced magic in Bonnie's world. In all the other forms of projection, the physical body remains still, as if asleep.
There are no threats with the astral projection used in the TVD-verse, other than the risk of injury should your form be tangible.
With the Projection spell, you can project yourself, project others, or take others with you if you're strong enough.
Bonnie is capable of guiding interest parties through all of the above options, save for biolocation (she's still figuring that one our herself). People can start small, such as move around the Armory. If you would be more comfortable having Bonnie take you with her, or have her project your character, she can do that too. If anyone wants to advance to other dimensions, let her know. Obviously it's up to everyone if they want their characters to be capable of learning this type of projection!
As always there are snacks and refreshments available during the meeting. New people are always welcomed to attend.
