but, what is a muggle?

By muggle, we don’t mean the high-and-mighty derogatory use of the word which means:

A person who is “unawake”,

ew.

or,

A person who is not “magical”,

because how do we know?

The beauty of this term is that it’s not meant to be used in a cruel or condescending way (although many non-muggle people use it that way, to be clear).

The term is simply descriptive.

Non-muggle-people are not better than muggle-people.

Because, let’s be honest about non-muggles for a moment—-we are insufferable and strange (at least according to the standards of western culture, which grossly biases toward muggle-people) and we often have a complex about our weirdness.

In the Midwives Studio world, we use the word muggle like we use the word tall or gentle or kind or fun or lovely.

Muggle-people are fantastic creatures and are often hoarding a host of non-muggle… “traits” …lying dormant in their being.

Okay, but who *are* muggle-people?

Muggle-people are those who are not apart of the magical / animate / neuro-wild / curiosity-driven community.

There.

So, you can see it’s not, like, a bias against muggle people, but, rather, a recognition that we are all co-existing within a context of interconnected meta-worlds wherein which we may all be speaking the same literal language but the meta-language (the subtle fields, the wild attunements, and the inner dimensionalities) are not always tracking within the same sphere of logic.

I hope that makes sense.
