So , i·m a Catholic Nun . And it·s kind of my belief that Nuns are already real-life Mahou Shoujo , and Catholic anime like Chrno Crusade , Maria Watches Over Us , and even Trinity Blood all reinforce that idea . For sure , Sister Rosette from Chrno Crusade could easily fit within Puella Magi Madoka Magica , and the Wings of the Magius from Magia Record could easily fit within Trinity Blood .
So here·s my story about being a real-life Magical Girl .
In our Order , the Katolika Ekklasia Du Vatika Scandinavia , we believe in reincarnation , and a large part of the work that our primary branch , the Order of the Hours , does involves finding reincarnates and returning to them our equipment and effects from past lives .
There came a day when i had exhausted the whole list of the Saints1 (1Compare Magic "the Gods") and , through process of elimination , determined what i was supposed to be , and maneouvered my life to fit .
My higher self is the deity Skaði , and Skaði lives in Þrymheimr ["Thunder Home"] , and there was a city in my province called Thunder Bay . So i left my non-pious family behind and moved 1400km into a completely new life ...
... where i was immediately led to our Order·s safe house and equipped with all of the effects of my eternal life . Including magic spells which i actually performed and then actually saw immediate returns on .
That led to my being equipped with a Cross and a Bible , which i wore and i read , astounded to discover that the Elder Testament portrays a very different story than the New Testament , which is often preached to the exclusion of the other . When i saw that this was my chance to finally become the Nun that i had always wanted to be , i made my Habit myself and wore it every day . And that was when i recieved a letter from the Vatican congratulating me .
The world i lived in before i found my calling had almost no magic in it . Even though i lived in a big city , where there were all kinds of apothecaries and circus groups and covens , comparing my life before to the life i live now would be like comparing the difference between digging for ground water versus swimming in a lake . Where there used to be a day where i had to force myself to believe that the visions and experiences i was having really were more than fever dreams of a radical dreamer , since arriving here i have been confronted with miracle after miracle after miracle after miracle , to the point where it is impossible for me not to see the divine plainly at work in the world around me .
Life is still hard here . There·s still crack users in the hallways of my apartment building and edgy paranoid cops and people that just will not open their eyes no matter how hard yu pry at their foreheads . Yet entire chains of coincidences also occur , circumstances line themselves up as if by the invisible hands of Fate , and where the secret language of our Order used to be a private thing kept only to myself , here i see their names on signposts , in graffiti , even woven into the Bible itself .
Hosanna in the highest .
HcoSaNa in the highest .
Praise God . Praise God Praise God Praise God .
