Welcome to the beautiful Wisteria, A School of Witch Craft and Wizardry. The founder, Elizabeth Phlox, was a lover of flowers and named the school Wisteria after a flower which meaning is 'welcome' . She so named the school because she desired everyone in the world to be welcome at this school, for it to be a safe place of harmony and freedom for anyone from any nation or background.

She founded the school in the early 1900s, when on a journey to find and protect the knowledge of Native American Shaman magic which was being threatened by early settlers of the Americas. The ruins and it's secrets grabbed her attention when she realized her squib guide could not see them. To any muggle or squib it looked like a solid rock mountain face, nothing special about it. To a wizard or witch the golden ruins were clear.Researching the ruins she would find they were said to be from the local Pueblo Indians ancient ancestors and that was all anyone knew about them or the strange magic within.

She originally meant to simply store knowledge but as her death grew closer she realized to truly protect the knowledge she needed to share it with others. So she found the school which you now find yourself invited to in 1916. At first it had only a few children of the settlers, immigrants, and Native Americans but over the years it grew. It is now a rival to even the esteemed Hogwarts in number of students and accomplished alumni wizards as well as witches. It seemed peaceful, wonderful but as always conflict seemed attracted to the ruins like a moth to flame.
