This channel discusses George R R Martin's World of Ice and Fire, where his series, "A Song of Ice and Fire," and HBO's series, "Game of Thrones" and the upcoming "Blood of the Dragon," based upon GRRM's "Fire & Blood" are set. The channel will mainly focus on magic and the magical lineages within this world, especially as relates to House Stark and House Targaryen. 

This episode is part 1.1 of my blog series "The Direwolves of Winterfell," which discusses how the Stark children possess the magic to warg their direwolves or skinchange other beasts or entities.  The series does a deep dive into how their bond is formed and expressed, as well as how each is tied to their pack.  Sansa and Lady's bond is tackled first because it ends so quickly, but it is still a rich introduction to the warg bond while it lasts, and it has consequences for the rest of the pack!

Later parts of the series discuss the implications of this magic for Robb, Jon, Bran, Arya and Rickon as the series moves forward.  When "The Winds of Winter" blow, magic will ramp up in the World.  Expect to see more from the direwolves of Winterfell. 

FYI the text of the entire series is available at alivealive0.home.blog/direwolves

My handle comes from the Irish Song “Molly Malone”, which was immediately brought to mind when I read the Cat of the Canals chapter.   
       The Chorus: 
Alive, Alive, Oh! Alive, Alive, Oh! 
Crying Cockles and Mussels, Alive, Alive, Oh!
