Description

Back in 2012 

My ex-libirs design with my traits, a badger because I am a Hufflepuff, is also painted in the way Native Americans from British Columbia did their art (This one is inspired in the ones from the Kwakwaka'wakw ones) and I wanna live in Canada. 
 
The L and I are made in my favourite colours, green and purpule, which know I see is a little Slythering trait of me, I mean the L looks like a snake.  

The colour blue on the rest of my first name is for water and the morning sky, my first name means Morning Star. 
The colour red is also to represent fire, I love all magic fire representations (did I hear you scream "Dragons!"?), and passion, also the colour red meant dead and rebirth on Mayan culture and was associated also with serpents, Mayan culture is where my middle name is from, and that name also means Morning Star. 

And of course we have a little curse in case you steal my book. This was write with a lot of pain with chalk and my own handwriting.

"Para aquel que roba, o pide prestado un libro y a su dueño no lo devuelve, que se le mude en sierpe en la mano y lo desgarre. Que quede paralizado y condenados todos sus miembros. Que desfallezca de dolor, suplicando a gritos misericordia, y que nada alivie sus sufrimientos hasta que perezca. Que los gusanos de los libros le roan las entrañas como lo hace el remordimiento que nunca cesa. Y cuando, finalmente, descienda el castigo eterno, que las llamas del infierno lo consuman para siempre."



“For him that stealeth,or borroweth and returneth not,this book from its owner, let it change into a serpent in his hand and rend him. 
Let him be struck with palsy, and all his members blasted. 
Let him languish in pain, crying aloud for mercy, and let there be no surcease to this agony till he sing in dissolution. 
Let bookworms gnaw his entrails in token of the worm that dieth not, and when at last he goeth to his last punishment, let the flames of hell consume him for ever.

Curse on book thieves, from the monastery of San Pedro, Barcelona, Spain” 
-- Cornelia Funke, Inkheart. 


Anyway beware if I let you borrow a book a you don't return it.

Oh my! what a scary curse.  I love that you incorporated so much of your personality and culture in this.
