Hogwarts House Series – Gryffindor

Hogwarts House Series: Gryffindor

Gryffindor Values: Bravery, Daring, Nerve, Chivalry
House Emblem: Lion

Gryffindors are known for their quick responses, strong convictions, and willingness to stand up for what they believe in. Gryffindor is associated with the fire element because of the house's core values of bravery, courage, and determination, which closely mirror the characteristics often attributed to fire; the house colors, scarlet and gold, also directly reflect the visual appearance of fire, with red representing the flames and gold representing the heat. The lion, Gryffindor's animal emblem, is often linked to fire due to its fierce and powerful nature, with the red mane representing the flame. Like Slytherin, Gryffindors are known for their leadership; however, contrary to Slytherin, they achieve things through bravery instead of hard work. This bravery can sometimes border on recklessness — though, like these Myers-Briggs types, Gryffindors always put forth effort toward a noble cause. Gryffindor house is likely to attract individuals who are brave, outspoken, and willing to fight for their beliefs such as INFP, ISFJ, ESFJ, and ENTJ. The GRYFFINDOR oil blend harnesses the essence of members and alumni:

  • Blue Tansy creates a feeling of grounding, anchoring, and empowerment.
  • Clove is a mental stimulant with the ability to stimulate the creative side of our brains, stimulate dreams and promotes a sense of courage and protection.
  • Ginger is a bit of a dichotomy—both gentle and stimulating, it brings both peace of mind as well as endowing physical energy and courage. Ginger is known as the oil which manifests the “Law of Attraction”.
  • Black Spruce enhances inner strength, and calms both mind and body. Its aroma releases emotional blocks and brings about a sense of balance, grounding, and steadiness.
  • Bergamot is believed to have protective and purifying properties, as well as the ability to uplift the spirit and promote relaxation and is used in spells for protection and luck.
  • Benzoin is used to bring emotional balance, dispel negative energy, and is frequently used to facilitate astral projection.
