Six of Wands: Amity and Willow
Upright: Success, victory, triumph, praise, recognition, acclaim, rewards, pride, progress, confidence
Reversed: Failure, lack of recognition/rewards/achievement, self-doubt, insecurity, personal definition of success, fall from grace, egotism
The Six of Wands is all about praise and recognition for one's accomplishments, and when we are introduced to Amity, she has that in spades. She is a talented Abominations student who worked hard to become the top student—a status she is clearly very proud of, as she flaunts it regularly (especially in Willow's face). Her pride and confidence, though not unearned, have morphed into egotism and arrogance, and basing so much of her self-worth on her academic success leads to defensiveness and panic when her status is challenged.
In contrast to Amity, who's confident, successful, and accustomed to praise, Willow has always struggled with performing magic at an "acceptable" level, being a late bloomer where her powers are concerned. She struggles in her Abominations studies, feeling like she's failing herself and her dads when she can't thrive in a magic track that would offer more financial opportunity later on. Her talents for Plant magic go unacknowledged, and the combination of Amity's callousness and superiority in Abomination magic feed her insecurities, causing her to doubt herself at every turn. Luckily, her confidence is rekindled when Luz helps her demonstrate her proficiency in Plants, giving her the push she needs to switch magic tracks.

Lowkey obsessed with how in I Was a Teenage Abomination Gus learned how to high five from Luz and reacted to Eda ruffling Luz’s hair with “you don’t high five with your head,” and now in Clouds on the Horizon he has a short best friend handshake with Hunter that ends with them high fiving with their heads because it’s been implied that hitting Hunter’s hands, even with something as light as a high five, hurts him, so Gus accommodated for that despite how important being Accurate about Human Culture is to him.
The growth is subtle but it’s very real.

How Owl House Built up More Than Just Luz
In my TOH AU Author Notes, I talked a bit about this, but I hold heavy significance toward this scene in Hooty's Moving Hassle:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This shot features Luz, Willow, and Gus. It's not the typical, "Oh she's our protagonist with pure heart and main character skill!" It's ALL of them in this shot. Not just Luz. Here, they admitted that animating an entire house is an unbelievable feat. And these three did it themselves. But I'm not here to talk about Luz. I love her, but this isn't just about her.
After I Was a Teenage Abomination, Agony of a Witch, and Labyrinth Runners, it's all confirmed. This "theory" is confirmed that these three kids are powerful and skilled (wow what a shocker). Gus is a prodigy, he's moved up a couple grades and is acknowledged by other Illusionists that he's creative. Willow impressed Principal Bump with her use of one seed with Plant Magic and is capable of wiping out groups of people in seconds.
We know that someone like Eda was remarkably skilled and intelligent for her age. As seen in Them's the Breaks, Kid, she was considerably knowledgable compared to Lilith (no slam on Aunt Lily by the way). Eda's epithet is "The most powerful Witch on the Boiling Isles", and we've seen many instances how it was a culmination of passion, ambition, and hard work to become the witch she was in season 1. We've heard it. But to me? The instance we knew she was hardcore, fully powered, and serious?

Her eyes were glowing yellow. And sure, it could be a stylistic "anime inspired" detail, but it was a show of pure power. I feel like this a witch's showing of their true potential being tapped into. I believe this is why her gem darkened so quickly and her magic ran out so fast in this fight---she was all in. And her line of "That takes some powerful magic" in season 1 episode 6? I feel it's a, "takes one to know one" sort of nod. Because this is what Willow and Gus are capable of:

Eda knows skill. She recognizes it. At that point in season one, she knew for certain Luz was pretty darn good. But Willow and Gus? I think she's got an idea or two about their capabilities. And I believe they're well on their way to becoming some powerful witches...

Luz: "I knew an Augustus back in the human world! We called him Gus."
I was just reminded that there is a human Gus that knows Luz.
I doubt we'll actually see him (and he probably looks nothing like our Gus). But it'll be a fun thing to keep in our minds for Thanks to them.

You can tell Amity has been through a ton of Character Development because she’s suddenly acting very normal about Vee’s star.

The Hierophant: Principal Hieronymus Bump
Upright: Institutions, tradition, conventionality, education, conformity, knowledge, spiritual/religious beliefs
Reversed: Rebellion, unconventionality, non-conformity, new methods, personal beliefs, challenging the status quo
Also called the Pope or the High Priest, the Hierophant typically represents a religious leader or a figure of authority related to conventional education, which fits Bump’s role as principal of Hexside. The Hierophant serves as the mirror of the High Priestess (Eda, in this deck), suggesting to seek knowledge from conventional, well-established sources before you come to your own conclusions. Eda and Bump’s conflicting methods of teaching reflect this duality. The Hierophant discourages innovation in favor of conforming to preexisting ways, much like Principal Bump discourages his students from studying multiple magic tracks, following the Emperor’s coven system.
When reversed, this card represents embracing new methods of knowledge seeking, breaking from convention, and challenging the established system. Bump displays these ideas when he sees how much more enthusiastic his students are about school when he allows them to study multiple tracks. When his school is threatened by the Emperor’s coven, he ultimately breaks convention by rebelling against them in favor of protecting his students.
Deck Order:
< Previous: The Emperor | Next: The Lovers >
Show Chronology:
< Previous: Six of Wands | Next: Ace of Pentacles >

“For The Future” Thoughts (Spoilers)
So The Owl House is now pretty much in its home stretch with one episode left to go. At this stage coming up with any new theories doesn’t really seem worthwhile, plus none are jumping out at me as it stands.
That being said, Boscha intrigues me a little but still seems very self-serving. I think it is a shame Boscha’s character won’t be able to really be looked into further, but I think in yesterday’s episode we did get quite a glimpse beneath the surface. She mentions how she has let Amity go multiple times but she is also now in the position where she has next to none of her friends standing beside her. While Boscha and Skara seem to be pretty close, I think it feels safe to argue that Amity was probably the closest thing Boscha had to a best friend. By this point, Boscha has lost everyone except Skara, but to be fair, given Boscha’s ineffectual leadership perhaps Skara isn’t quite as loyal as she once was.
You kinda get to see how truly insecure Boscha is. Like I mean it is clearly always known and shown early on, but not quite so blatantly. Like upon losing her squad she literally then falls into Kikimora’s plan for power clinging to her and her ideas.
But that is the thing too. I don’t think Boscha is a natural leader. I mean very early on in The Owl House, it was easy to get the impression that Amity was the leader of their little clique. I later drifted away from this idea, but early on that was the impression I got. Amity hosts the sleepover at her house, etc.
I kinda wonder if Boscha is very like Odalia though. Odalia has drive but she clings to the glory of others. We see it in this episode, she has moved from following Belos to following the Collector. She isn’t a leader, she follows but she always wants to be on the side that places her with power and in the spotlight.
Early on, Amity was initially Captain of Grudgby Team before Boscha and she comes from a family with a significant amount of status. Much like Odalia, Boscha has the drive but she is an ineffectual leader and seems more prone to wanting someone to follow. But that could be it too, Boscha is shown to be ineffectual as leader this episode. Maybe that is it, she wants the power but wants none of the blame. So she opts for a power behind the throne sort role. She wants Amity to be the one in charge and be the one to take the blame, while she is the one with the ideas.
That would kinda fit with her being insecure too. Someone who is shown to be as insecure as Boscha is shown to be this episode - I mean look how desperate she was to have Amity back as a friend - probably would not want to take criticism when she makes mistakes. She likely won’t take it well at all. I mean i think we see a little bit of that in today’s episode too.
Boscha needs a friend who like her is mean and I have gone over this before, Amity was never a bully. Her role was always passive with the exception of in “I Was A Teenage Abomination” but I think that can be explained without Amity actually expressly being a bully. And Amity says it, she can’t be what Boscha wants her to be.
And I think I just said a lot there to get to this last point, I really wonder what has happened to Boscha in her life that has made her this insecure. Or what could be happening in her life. It is a shame we probably won’t get to have a deeper dive into that. It would also be interesting to know why Odalia is the way she is. Not for redemption or anything, but just cos it would be interesting to know what made them the way they are.
Beyond the above though, I think we are just waiting on the conclusion of theories now. Whether they are proved to be canon or not.
It now feels safe to say Luz will stay in the Demon Realm, as for what Camila will do though I am unsure but it is evident she will support Luz in staying in the Demon Realm.
My other theory is the Aladarius will either become canon or will be shown to have been canon at some point in the past. Regardless of the outcome of that theory, I also look forward to the Blights having a better home life minus Odalia and Luz having more people to add to her ever growing chosen family.
And talking about chosen family, it is amazing to see Camila embrace her daughter so fully for who she is this episode. The story starts with Camila sending Luz to camp to change her daughter and who she is, to Camila now fully accepting and embracing her daughter for the wonderful person she is. I never doubted that Camila was a good mother, but seeing it confirmed on screen in such a powerful way is just so heartwarming. I actually had tears in my eyes when she was giving her speech to Luz about how perfect she is 😊
I hope you enjoy my rambling and I’ll see you all at the last episode!
