Flirtation Guide for an Enchanted Summer
Written by Matilda Clishmaclaver

As the summer sun casts its warm glow upon the sandy shores, fashionable witch should find themselves presented with a unique opportunity for social interaction—the beach. While the seaside may seem an unlikely place for flirtation within the confines of polite society, there are subtle and refined ways for a lady to engage in light-hearted conversation and captivate attention without compromising her reputation. The delicate art of seaside flirtation is more art than anything else.

Appropriate Attire:
A true lady must never compromise her modesty, even at the beach and should choose a bathing costume that adheres to appropriate standards, covering the body discreetly, but showing ones figure to best effect. Select a fashionable and tasteful beach bonnet to protect delicate features from the sun's rays. Remember, a lady's allure lies not in revealing attire but in the elegance and grace with which she carries herself.

Engaging in Polite Conversation:
Once at the beach, a lady may find herself in the company of eligible gentlemen. It is acceptable to engage in light and charming conversation, provided it remains within ear shot of your suitable chaperone. Speak intelligently on topics such as literature, art, and music, steering clear of politics and current events. In general it is best to avoid controversial subjects or anything that may be deemed indelicate.

The Language of the Fan:
The fan, a quintessential accessory of the true lady, can be employed as a subtle means of communication. Familiarize yourself with the various fan gestures to convey interest or invite conversation discreetly. A slow and measured fanning motion might indicate intrigue, while tapping the fan against the palm of the hand could signal a desire for attention. You might consult previous copies of Witch Weekly to find a more detailed guide!

Graceful Body Language:
Maintaining poise and grace is essential when flirting at the beach. Walk with gentle, flowing movements and maintain an erect posture. Avoid boisterous behavior or excessive laughter, as such displays may be considered unladylike. Employ subtle glances and demure smiles to convey interest, always maintaining an air of mystery and elegance.

The Art of Seaside Promenades:
The promenade along the shoreline offers an ideal setting for a lady to catch the eye of a potential suitor. Stroll gracefully, allowing your parasol to shield delicate skin from the sun. Maintain a serene countenance and avoid overly animated gestures. Greet acquaintances with a nod or polite smile, showcasing your poise and composure.

Accepting Invitations:
Should a gentleman extend an invitation to partake in a seaside activity, such as a leisurely stroll or a game of croquet, a lady may accept graciously. Engage in the activity with enthusiasm, while always keeping the conversation light and appropriate. Remember, modesty and decorum should prevail in all interactions.


The rules of decorum need not stifle a lady's spirit at the beach. By adhering to the principles of modesty, elegance, and propriety, a proper witch can engage in the art of seaside flirtation while maintaining her reputation and the respect of those around her. The subtle exchange of glances, the graceful language of the fan, and the refined conversation can add a touch of charm and allure to the sunny shores, allowing you to embrace the seaside with both elegance and dignity.
