As a Sun-Aligned person, your specialty is light magic. You were born on Sun Day and your patron deity is Gyata the Lion. Since I’m a huge astrology nerd myself (I’m talking “probably following more astrology apps than should be considered legal” level huge here), I had a lot of fun defining the astrology in my book to create horoscopes that applied not only to the characters but to the real world as well.Ī Song of Wraiths and Ruin is a book full of dark magic and even darker fates, so once you’ve gathered your courage and your trustiest sword, scroll below to the date of the week on which you were born to see what the gods have in store for you! You can learn more about the Akan day name system here. I got my inspiration for this magic system from a cultural tradition among the Akan people of Ghana, my mother’s tribe, where children are often given a name based on the day of the week on which they’re born. Brown, and I’m so excited to tell you all about the astrology system in my fantasy novel A Song of Wraiths and Ruin! ASOWAR is set in a world inspired by West African folklore, and one of the major elements is that the day of the week on which a character is born decides who their patron deity is and what kind of magic they can do. Brown, author of A Song of Wraiths and Ruin.
