Hello! I'm u/Obversa, and I'm one of your new moderators on r/wandsmith!

Pleasure to meet everyone!

Some of you may remember me from r/harrypotter and r/Slytherin, where I used to frequently participate. Some also may know me for my wand analyses on Tumblr, which utilize several sources on wandlore, wand woods, wand cores, Hogwarts houses, MBTI, astrology, my own surveys and data, and more to provide comprehensive, long, and thorough descriptions on unique wand-and-core combinations. I also have crafted a few wands of my own in the past.

From time to time, I also collect wands as well. As my grandfather was a custom woodcrafter, builder, craftsman, and carpenter with his own business, I am learning more about the business and woods.

In the time since I was more active on r/harrypotter, I have also been appointed as a moderator to r/eragon and r/jkrowling, and been assisting the moderation teams on those subreddits, to excellent peer reviews from other Reddit moderators from different communities.

u/Mathias_Greyjoy, the head moderator of r/wandsmith, also invited me to moderate this subreddit, as well as to assist with the organization and writing for the new "Wood of the Week/Month" series. I have been considering transferring my wand wood-and-core combination analysis database to other platforms, particularly a transfer to the r/wandsmith Wiki, to be a free-to-use resource for all Harry Potter and r/wandsmith fans.

I look forward to serving respectfully and fairly as your new moderator for the forseeable future, alongside the rest of the r/wandsmith moderation team!
