"Magic is a sentient being. She is our Mother, our Father, our Brother, and our Sister. She is in all of us and around everything. She gives life to everything and takes it just as easily. When our souls move on she guides us there, she stays with us until the last moment. She stays in the body and moves on her own even when we are just a shell. It is why prisoners who have had the dementor's kiss don’t stop living. They still breathe and can move without the soul, because she hasn’t left them yet. She won’t leave us ever. This is why those who still celebrate in the Old Ways resent those who don’t. They don’t give worship to the one who gave us magic, they don’t respect her and celebrate her holidays.’
