History of Magic in the American Continents
written by Wayah Barry
Shamans, medicine men, magical creatures, astronomy, divination. The influence of magic had strong impact on the communities that inhabited the continent pre-Columbus and continues to effect the magic community in America today. About the author: I am Eastern Band Cherokee and grew up hearing myths and stories of my tribe. This is my attempt to creatively tie my research of Native American mythology with the Harry Potter Universe. *This is not meant to offend anyone, it is purely fictional. I will respect the spiritual practices and beliefs of Native American tribes and be as factual as I can.

The media's presentation of Native Americans is not accurate in terms of the "magic" of tribal practices. Their rituals are not fantasy, they are sacred practices reserved for the tribe's knowledge. I have tried to avoid that topic in this book, and if you have taken offense to anything I have written I apologize sincerely and please message me about it so I can fix whatever I did wrong. Unfortunately, practices and rituals sacred to Native Americans are often appropriated. The true "magic" of the Native American communities is found in their resilience and their ability to keep their history, stories, and culture alive after centuries of persecution, and also the strong connection to animals, plants, and nature that some people have.
