Lesson One: Clearing Your Mind Lesson Two: Practice Session 1 Lesson Three: Practice Session 2
Introduction: Occlumency is the practice of magically closing one's mind against Legilimency. It can prevent a Legilimens from accessing one's thoughts and feelings, or influencing them. In this class we will first focus on clearing our minds of any thoughts that can be potentially useful to an enemy or worse. We will begin practicing in the second lesson, as only practice can make you perfect.
Required Materials: Your wand, and a thirst to close your mind to unwanted visitors
Expectations: This class is only available to seventh years, so the expectations of you are very high. I do not expect you to be a perfectly skilled Occlumens on the first try, but I do expect you to TRY your best to clear your minds before lessons. Tardiness, disrespect and rudeness will not be tolerated, and if you break any rules you will be promptly kicked out and receive a T in the class. This is your first and final warning.
Occlumency classes will be starting on Monday, August 19th. Please owl me your admissions essay in order to be admitted into the class. Essay points should include why you want to take this class, what specifically you're hoping to get out of it, and any points you'd like to make that concern the topic.
