Everyone knows that Salem Witches Institute was founded by five different witches and wizards many years ago. One of those member was a man known as Aidan Beltane. Aidan Beltane was the oldest male in the group of the founders, and he was also the most free spirited and the most ‘floral'. Beltane was a plant lover, and he specialized in what is now known as ‘Herbology.' Beltane, after the founders discussed that they should make separate house for the individuality of the students that would soon be coming to them, decided that he wanted those few students that would come into his house to be as free and as loving as he was. So, that is how the students came to be into Beltane house: they were the people who always let themselves feel passion, and always went with their first instincts. Most of them were also very skilled with plants. Because of this, however, some of the students don't do so well with school work, because they are always rushing off to do the next thing on their mind, and just letting things happen without really putting any effort into it. Beltane students never really did well with actual work. Except Herbology, and sometimes Potions, that is. Nowadays you would call people like Beltane and his students ‘hippies,' and that is what they truly are, at heart.

Yes. The Samhain house. Well, to be frank, this is the house where everybody is pretty nasty to everyone else. The only thing is, they all absolutely love animals. The founder of Samhain house, Nolan Samhain, loved animals. Small, big, fuzzy, scaly, any kind of animal. He would talk, walk, and sometimes even sleep with animals. But he did not, absolutely did not eat any kind of meat, including fish, because they were animals. The reason he loved animals so much is because he didn't really like people. He thought humans, muggle and wizard alike, were some of the stupidiest creatures ever created. Which is why all of his students were animal lovers, even if they weren't always bright. If you've been sorted into this house, that must mean you're an animal loving person who just happens to like making other people feel like crap and not really caring and are probably some of the best students when it comes to caring for magical, or any other sort of creatures. Wow.
The Samhain colors: Gold and Orange
The Sahmain House Animal: Tiger
The House of Imbolc was founded by the kind and creative Aileen Imbolc. Aileen was a very caring soul who loved to dance. It was said that she was both graceful and powerful when she danced. This is why her symbol is a swan. A graceful and beautiful bird, but also powerful. Unlike the swan, however, Aileen was very independent and was usually seen wandering around all by herself. It wasn't that she was anti-social person and couldn't meet and befriend people, she was the kind of person that people were always friends with. No. It was just that she liked her solitude, and she didn't like to spend every waking moment with someone else, or with a group. That is why, when she agreed to help open Salem, her students were those who could make it on their own without needing anyone's help. They were also the type of people who had very creative souls.
The Imbolc colors: Blue and White
The Imbolc House Animal: Swan .
The Mabon House. This is the house that was founded on intelligence and knowledge. The founder, Kira Mabon, wanted it no other way. Like those who were sorted into her house, Kira Mabon was all about knowledge. She was also the type of person who believed that everything had to be one way, and that that one way was the right way. She didn't believe in 'what ifs' and she didn't believe that things that weren't meant to be changed could be changed. This was strange coming from a witch who was a master in Transfiguration and Potions. She could change herself, among other things, into anything she wanted. Those who are sorted into the Mabon House will be the sort of people that take their studies very, very seriously. They will also be the people who like to talk about their studies. A lot. If you're sorted into the Mabon house you'll most likely exceed above others in Transfiguration and Potions, but also do very well in all other studies as well.
The Mabon colors: Deep Red and Grey
Last, but certainly not least, the House of Ostara. This house was founded on the beliefes of balance and equality in everything. This was the house founded by the lovely lady Aine Ostara. Aine Ostara was a very bright witch, like her fellow founders, and she deeply believed in equality for all humans, no matter their blood type. She was thought of as brave for these beliefs, and she certainly was brave and courageous. Aine was also a person who believed that history was one of the most important things in the world. This made Aine the most knowledgeble about the history of magic, even above her fellow witch and friend Kira Mabon. To be in the house of Ostara, one must be brave and must always let others know of what they believe, and that they, above all, believe in peace.
The Ostara colors: Light Brown and Cream
The Ostara House Animal: Eagle
