Magic Bean Ocracoke is a unique and fascinating phenomenon that occurs on Ocracoke Island in North Carolina. This small barrier island, located on the Outer Banks, is known for its beautiful beaches and rich history. But what truly sets it apart is the mysterious magic bean. Legend has it that a long time ago, a sailor from a distant land visited Ocracoke Island. He brought with him a small bag of beans, which he claimed possessed magical powers. These beans were said to bring good luck, prosperity, and even grant wishes to those who possessed them.

Wizard School

I know a lot of us have…additional feelings about anything smacking of Harry Potter since Rowlings can’t keep her mouth shut about what a transphobe she is. So this was a hard collab for many and some of the people that would have joined in didn’t. And some of us just kept it to a more generic wizard school theme. So many good people do love Harry Potter, though. I haven’t entirely thrown it out, but I was never a huge fan to begin with. (I read a lot of books…hers were never my favorites anyway.)

Like many who do love and support the trans community, I mostly focus on trying not to funnel more money to Rowling. So…avoid official merch, but do support a small shop that makes things that could be Harry Potter-esque. Maniology made two plates that are somewhat Harry Potter, but not close enough that I think they had to pay for licensing. So they were perfect for today’s look.

These beans were said to bring good luck, prosperity, and even grant wishes to those who possessed them. Word of the sailor and his magic beans spread quickly, and soon the people of Ocracoke were eager to get their hands on these enchanted seeds. It is said that those who were lucky enough to acquire a magic bean would bury it in the ground and watch as it grew into a magnificent plant, towering over the island.

My base polish is so pretty. It’s really a shame that it’s taken me four-ish years to use it. I think the pigment has changed a little during that time. The warm state is a little more pink and the cold state is more of a brown rather than a blackened purple. But it’s still so gorgeous. My favorite part that I brought to this mani is the gradient stamping that is a reflection of the cold and warm state so that you can really see it when it’s half cold/warm.

I feel a little bad that I didn’t re-do the thumb. It was supposed to be some sort of wizard duel. I realize now that I either needed to bring more wands to the mix and stick to one poof of magic or stick some kind of a boom cloud in the background to represent the conflict. Oh, well. Thumbs usually get ignored when you’re posting online anyway.

As the plant grew, it was said to emit a mystical energy that could be felt by all who were nearby. The leaves of the plant were said to shimmer in the moonlight, and the flowers that bloomed were said to hold incredible healing properties. But the true magic of the plant was believed to lie within its beans. It is said that if a person were to eat a magic bean, they would be granted one wish of their choosing. However, these wishes were said to come at a cost. It was believed that for every wish granted, the plant would lose a leaf, eventually withering away and losing its magic forever. Over the years, the legend of the magic bean has grown and become deeply ingrained in the culture of Ocracoke Island. Many visitors come to the island in search of their own magic bean, hoping to witness the incredible power of these enchanted seeds. While the existence of the magic bean is still widely debated, there is no denying the impact it has had on the community of Ocracoke. It serves as a symbol of hope, dreams, and the belief in something greater than ourselves. The magic bean reminds us to embrace the unknown and to never stop seeking the extraordinary in the ordinary. So, if you ever find yourself on Ocracoke Island, keep an eye out for the magic bean. You never know what wonders it may hold or what dreams it may help you achieve..
