Time honored sea magic is a practice that has been passed down through generations, rooted in ancient traditions and beliefs. This mystical art involves harnessing the power of the sea and its elements to bring about desired outcomes and manifestations. Sea magic is deeply connected to the ebb and flow of the tides, which are believed to hold great power and energy. Practitioners of sea magic work closely with the rhythms of the ocean, aligning themselves with its natural cycles and working in harmony with its energy. The sea is considered a gateway to other realms and dimensions, and sea magic is often used for divination and communication with otherworldly beings. It involves invoking and working with deities and spirits associated with the sea, such as Poseidon or the merfolk.

Waves are seen as a source of primal energy and are used to cleanse and purify, as well as to create protective barriers.
There Really is Magic in Our Ocean
With the help of donors like you, Ocean Conservancy is developing innovative solutions to save our ocean.
If you stop and think about it—as we often do here at Ocean Conservancy—you will realize that there is astounding beauty and magic in the ocean. And, as a team of Harry Potter fans, we tend to see parallels between the fictional world of wizards and the real world of our ocean.
Arctic Terns have no need to use floo powder or apparate to travel long distances. They possess mighty wings and have one of the longest known migration routes, traveling up to 90,000 kilometers in one year. Could Hedwig fly this far? We doubt it.
Polyjuice potion to change your appearance—the mimic octopus can do this without the unnecessary potions and tricks. The mimic octopus can impersonate 15 different species by changing its color and texture or change the way it moves its arms to impersonate a variety of other marine species. Talk about magical.
This brings us to wondering what ocean species relate closely to our favorite Harry Potter characters. So, pull out your wands, fill your cup with butterbeer and join us on a magical journey beneath the waves to the depths of the ocean.
Sea Otter: Harry Potter
OK, it’d be ridiculous if we didn’t tie Harry Potter to a sea otter… Harry Otter, get it?! I am sure we are the first to make that connection. Thank you, thank you very much. Round of butterbeers for us.
But, the more we thought about it—the more the connection made sense. Sea otters get all the attention in the ocean—just like Harry Potter.
Sea otters are also considered a ‘keystone species,’ meaning their role and impact on the environment is valued greater than others. Another striking similarity to Harry—he is the main character—the chosen one.
Octopus: Hermoine Granger
Octopuses’ incredible intelligence has earned them the title of the smartest invertebrates in the world. Eight hands-down the smartest of all the Harry Potter characters is Hermoine Granger. She pieces together puzzles that perplex all the other characters and she outsmarts her opponents.
Beluga Whale: Ron Weasley
Both are known for their unique appearance and social nature. They are also both very loyal. Belugas show a strong loyalty to specific small places within their habitat, to which they return again and again. Belugas are also instantly recognizable by their stand-out color—just like how Ron is known for his fiery-red hair. Both stand out in a crowd!
Manatee: Neville Longbottom
Calm, easy-going and lover of plants!
Unfortunately, their inability to get out of the way causes them both harm. Neville is hit with a full-body freeze by Hermoine in book one and sometimes slow-moving manatees are hit by fast-moving boats and sustain terrible injuries—too bad Madam Pomfrey can’t magically heal of the hurt manatees.
Blue Ringed Octopus: Bellatrix LeStrange
Do NOT mess with the blue ringed octopus. Do NOT mess with Bellatrix LeStrange. We think that is all to say here…
Dolphin: Albus Dumbledore
Dolphins are incredibly intelligent and known for their fantastic tricks—just like everyone’s favorite Hogwarts headmaster. Dolphins are expert problem-solvers, and are known to use innovative tools and communication to work together to tackle challenges. While dolphins may not have discovered the 12 uses of dragon’s blood, they are naturally curious—which is a trait Dumbledore surely would appreciate.
Clownfish and Sea Anemone: Fred and George Weasley
We immediately thought of clownfish when we thought about the Weasley twins. Driving Argus Filch absolutely crazy—Fred and George Weasley are the comic relief built into the Harry Potter books. In addition to the humor, we also noticed a relationship similarity. Clownfish have a symbiotic (long-term mutually beneficial) relationship with sea anemone which is a fish-eating plant-like animal that has venomous tentacles. Just like the Weasley twins have a symbiotic relationship with one another—the closest of friends—trusting and depending upon one another to get by.
Goblin Shark: Voldemort
Scary. Terrifying. These two are truly what nightmares are made of. If I were to wake up in a cold sweat after a terrible nightmare—it would be because I was thinking of a goblin shark or Voldemort.
Blue Whale: Rubeus Hagrid
We will round out this blog with my favorite ocean animal: the blue whale and my favorite Harry Potter character: Rubeus Hagrid. Large and kind to other creatures—big and small—seem to sum up both the blue whale and Hagrid. Blue whales are the largest animals ever to live on Earth and Hagrid is the largest of the main characters in Harry Potter. Blue whales tend to be more solitary than other whale species. And, Hagrid tends to keep to himself, for the most part, in his cabin on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Finally, blue whales are also one of the loudest animals on Earth—at times, Hagrid’s loud and booming voice can be heard echoing through the halls of Hogwarts up into the Gryffindor Tower.
There you have it—the magic of the ocean! Take time out of your busy day to take a deep breath and look at the natural world around you—I bet you will find magic in the most unlikely of places. Get outside, explore and let your mind wander.
Do NOT mess with the blue ringed octopus. Do NOT mess with Bellatrix LeStrange. We think that is all to say here…

Reviews for "Sea Spells for Love and Romance: Attracting Your Soulmate through Magic"
1. Sarah - 1 star
I was extremely disappointed with "Time Honored Sea Magic". The author claimed to provide insightful information about the mystical powers of the sea, but all I found were a few vague and basic suggestions on how to connect with nature. There was no depth or substance to the book, and it felt like a collection of random ideas hastily put together. I was hoping to learn more about the ancient sea rituals and harness the power of the ocean, but this book failed to deliver on that promise. Overall, I found it to be a waste of time and money.
2. Michael - 2 stars
"Time Honored Sea Magic" is an average book at best. The author attempted to explore the magic and wonders of the sea, but the content was lacking in originality and depth. The information provided was mostly cliche and generic, and I didn't find anything particularly enlightening or profound. Furthermore, the writing style was uninspiring and monotonous, making it difficult to stay engaged. I was hoping for a more profound and engaging read, but unfortunately, this book fell short of my expectations.
3. Emily - 2.5 stars
While "Time Honored Sea Magic" had some interesting concepts, I felt that the execution of those ideas was lacking. The book was poorly organized, with disjointed chapters and a lack of clear progression. It often felt like the author was trying to cram too much information into each chapter, resulting in a jumbled mess. Additionally, there were several instances of factual inaccuracies, which made me question the credibility of the author. Overall, I found the book to be an underwhelming read that failed to provide the in-depth exploration of sea magic that I was hoping for.
4. John - 3 stars
"Time Honored Sea Magic" was an average read for me. While there were some interesting tidbits of information about the mystical powers of the sea, I found myself wanting more. The book lacked depth and failed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the topic. It felt more like a surface-level introduction rather than a comprehensive guide. The writing style was also a bit dry and lacked the engaging storytelling that could have made the book more captivating. Overall, it was an okay read, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to someone seeking a deeper exploration of sea magic.
