Potion Master’s Prüfung: Week 4
Whispers of the Moon - Part 1
Greetings, Enchanted Apprentices!
The moon is more than just a celestial light — it’s a keeper of ancient wisdom, each phase whispering secrets to those who know how to listen. This week’s Potion Master’s Prüfung is no ordinary test — it’s a Three-Part Lunar Trial, designed to challenge your mind, awaken your curiosity, and deepen your understanding of the moon’s many faces.
Ready your parchment, sharpen your quills, and let the whispers of the moon guide you…
Part 1: Riddles of the Moonlit Sky
In this trial, you must unravel the moon’s cryptic clues. Each riddle describes one of the mystical moons — can you name them all?
I rise when wolves howl and winter winds bite,
Guarding the season with my frosty light.
In February’s chill, I softly glow,
Like flakes of ice in a world of snow.
When the earth stirs and creatures creep,
I mark the month when life starts to leap.
Blushing with petals in shades of rose,
I bloom in spring when wildflowers grow.
My sweet red name hints at a summer treat,
Ripe in the warmth — juicy and sweet.
Part 2: The Moon’s Seasonal Secrets
The moon’s journey through the seasons is no accident. In this challenge, your task is to match each moon to the season it watches over.
Buck Moon
Sturgeon Moon
Corn Moon
Harvest Moon
Hunter’s Moon
Seasons to Choose From:
A. Autumn

Part 3: The Potion Master’s Celestial Puzzle
For this final trial, you must unlock the hidden meanings behind the moon’s rare and powerful names. Each clue reveals a moon shrouded in legend. Can you name them all?
My face is bathed in crimson red,
A fiery glow that stirs up dread.
⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻
When two full moons grace a single month,
I am the second — rare and bold.
⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻
Invisible to most, I hide in the dark,
Silent and secret, leaving no mark.
⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻
My presence swells with extra might,
Closer to Earth — a dazzling sight.
⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻
I arrive when rivers freeze and air turns cold,
A chilling sign as the year grows old.
⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻
In the heart of November, I claim my reign,
When builders and trappers prepare for gain.
