A Head Full of Fairies

There’s not a day that goes past where I’m not analysing something. I love meta – I can spend hours reading about the traits of a Ravenclaw… That leads me onto the traits of a Slytherin… Which leads me onto the traits of a Slytherclaw… Eventually I’ve used up several hours reading nothing but the inner workings of Harry Potter.

I believe everything in life can be analysed, and that analysis further analysed. I’m that kind of person to pour over the minute details, for no reason other than she loves reading, researching, studying, analysing, and learning. I guess that’s why, by JK Rowling’s standards, despite my ambition and strive for success, I land in Ravenclaw 98% of the time.

So it comes as no surprise I analyse myself on a daily basis. I’m continuously learning how to read my aura, thanks to a few friends who are teaching me about sensing the colours of a person’s energy. After being told countlessly I’m a Lavender-Indigo, you know what came next – I had to read everything about Lavender-Indigo people. Fits me to a complete T.

My Western zodiac is Capricorn, Chinese zodiac is Wood Pig. Combined, I’m a ‘spider’, according to a Primal Astrology website. Considering I adore astrology and have since a young girl, that was another venture of mine.

My latest quest was actually more of a psychological type than anything spiritual. I had heard about MBTI personalities awhile ago, and was curious as to who Myer-Briggs considers I am. After countless of tests, re-tests, re-re-tests, and re-re-re-ing those tests, there’s one conclusion. I’m a INFP with a highly developed Te, which is my objective logic that transcends emotional values (I would get INTP in a lot of other results.) That means I’m an idealist with a heavy spot of realist, and I’m not afraid to speak my mind if there’s logic behind it.

After that, I found something called the Enneagram test, which a lot of other psych-centric people take too. Results were in. Type 4 Individualist on the sexual variant (meaning I require intimacy and contact from other people, very true.)

Generally, the profile for the INFP can heavily match up to the spiritualist’s Lavender-Indigo. I have a spacey head, filled with imaginations, dreams, fantasies, other realms… A suitable career for such a person is said to be a ‘writer’. Perfect, considering I am one!

Creative, outspoken, intuitive, and passionate. Do not like rules and structure, instead goes with the flow of a flexible and adaptable life. Highly forgetful. Emotional. Childlike nature, curious, intuitive. When you read the profile of an INFP, and then a Lavender-Indigo, it’s exact – just a few more spiritual terms thrown in.

Then another interesting point. Lavender-Indigos are said to use their Third Eye Chakra the most, out of all chakras. They’re often not grounded people – their root and sacral chakras are most neglected, due to their head being in the clouds so much. Most love the amethyst crystal, they find a deep connection with it and the benefits it gives. All can be said for me.

Some people ask me, what’s the point? Why do I read so much into things, analyse things that frankly, don’t matter? It matters to me. I find enjoyment learning not only more about myself, but more about my interests, and the world around me. My head absorbs information and retains it in stereotypical nerd fashion.

They may be pointless tests and results in the end, but the more my head starts to delve between the lines, the more I understand about myself. I’ve had a really whacky sense of who I am growing up, never truly getting the complexity of my mind, my emotions, and how they all work together.

The results I get, all combined together, prove how complex of a person I am. I’m the weird one. The spacey one. The nerdy one. The one who is Luna Lovegood incarnate, except unlike her (as Luna is most often described as an INTP), I rely more on my emotional value for judgement than cold, hard facts. Turns out, she’s the #1 fictional character I share the most in common with, which is why she’s my favourite from the Harry Potter novels.

It’s no crime to learn more about yourself, however you choose to do it. For me, it’s analysing meta data. I’m part of the Harry Potter generation, my House identity is a defining part of my character, beyond psychology and spirituality. I take pride in calling myself “Ravenclaw by house, Slytherclaw by heart” – if you’re familiar with the novels, you’d then understand what kind of a person I am.

I’m gaining knowledge on how I work this way. I’m an INFP type 4 (on the sexual variant), with a highly developed Te function, a Lavender-Indigo aura, and a highly functioning Third Eye chakra (my dominant chakra.) They all combine. They all fit. All these bits and pieces of information I gather describe me, who I am, and how I conduct myself.

There’s no greater gift than not just understanding the world, but understanding yourself. When you understand you (in whatever manner works for you), your greatest strengths will begin to shine.
