I'm Caspar Tercail and I'm Vanessa Zoltan and this is Harry Potter and the sacred text.

I'm reading the local group this week because I love the name. It's called Harry Potter and the zoom of requirement and it's led by Brittany Olet and I want to join it just for the name.

I cannot believe that I haven't named our Tuesday night class the zoom of requirements like what a missed opportunity. Why am I bad at this?

That is amazing. Also it reminds me of the modesty in Bridgerton. I feel like she would say Harry Potter and the zoom of the choir months.

We we.

And if you remember as Caspar and I were doing like the old Vienna couple of weeks ago we realize that we want to hold space for our community and all of the grief around COVID.

And so what we've decided to do is that for the months of January February and March we're going to be collecting names from our community members who have lost people due to COVID.

If you've lost someone to COVID and would like for us to say their name and honor them on the podcast please go to our website Harry Potter sacred text.com and fill out the form.

I'm really glad we're doing this Vanessa. It just feels like a small way in which we can contribute to the really necessary grieving in the midst of this horrible horrible pandemic.
