Legends and myths about trees

Celtic beliefs in trees (24)

Ss for Straif (Blackthorn) - Samhain/Hallowe'en, opening the veil between this world and the spirit world…

“Mother of the Forest – The Celtic Tree Calendar (Ref), The Beginning of Winter”

Colour: red; Star: Mars, Saturn; Gemstone: black opal; Gender: female; Patron: Morrigan; Symbol: inevitability of death, protection + revenge, discord + insidiousness

Blackthorn forms vigorous young trees from the roots, from which dense, thorny bushes grow in dense clumps. Armed with sharp thorns, which can damage human skin. It already starts flowering in early spring, at the beginning of March, and with the onset of winter it produces black berries, commonly known as 'sloes'.

Samhain is the most important festival in the Celtic world, celebrated on 1st November to mark the beginning of winter and therefore the new year. The name 'Samhain' means 'end of summer'. The seasons change from summer to winter (the time of the dead) with this festival. It is a period of short days and darkness, but it is a necessary period for nature to enter a peaceful rest and welcome the bright spring. In the calendar of agricultural societies, this is an important stage for the germination of crop seeds.

Samhain was the solemn festival, when fires were lit and sacrifices were offered to gods such as Taranis and Teutates. Importantly, it was believed that on the eve of this day, 31 October, a passage between this world and the spirit world was opened, allowing inhabitants from the other world to come and visit this world freely and interact with humans in this world. However, while the comings and goings were sometimes favourable, it was also envisaged to be dangerous.

On the Samhain eve, children went from house to house to collect festive offerings. It was also customary to celebrate Samhain by placing a brightly burning candle inside a hollowed-out turnip at the entrance to the house.

Blackthorn is a tree traditionally used for black magic and witchcraft, and its thorns remind us of our own insidious roots. We must remember that we hurt ourselves and others in many ways. If we think about how to avoid hurting each other and courageously face our own insidious roots, blackthorn can guide us to overcome this dark side of our human nature and help us to return the debts of our hearts.

It also helps us to accept the fact that death is something from which no one can escape.

木にまつわる伝説・神話

ケルト人の樹木の信仰 (24)

SはStraif (ﾘﾝﾎﾞｸ) -サウィン/ハロウイーン、現世と霊界のヴェールを開く…　

『森の母 〜 ケルトの木の暦（参照）、冬の始まり』

色: ��; 星: 火星、土星;  宝石: ブラックオパール; 性: 女性; 守護神: モリガン; シンボル: 死の不可避性、保護+復讐、不和+陰湿

リンボクは根の部分から活力のある若木を形成し、ここから棘だらけの茂みがびっしりと密生する。鋭い棘で武装したリンボクは密生した藪をつくり、人間の肌を傷つける。３月初旬、早春にもう花をつけ始め、冬の訪れと共に、通称「スロー」という黒っぽい実がなる。

サウィンとは、ケルト世界で最も重要なお祭りで、11月1日に冬の始まり、つまり新年の始まりを祝う。「サウィン」とは「夏の終わり」を意味する。この祭りを境に季節は夏から冬（死者の時期）に変わる。日が短く暗い時期だが、自然が穏やかな休息に入り、明るい春を迎えるために必要な期間である。農耕社会の暦では、作物の種が発芽する重要な時期でもある。

サウィンは最も重要な厳粛な祭りで、火が焚かれ、タラニスやテウタテスといった神々に生贄が捧げられた。重要なのは、この日の前夜、10月31日に現世と霊界を結ぶ通路が開かれ、あの世の住人が自由に現世を訪れ、現世の人間と交流できるようになると信じられていたことだ。しかし、その行き来は時に好ましいものであったが、危険なものであることも想定されていた。

サウィンの前夜には、子供たちが家々を回り、お祝い用のお供えを集めた。サウィンを祝って、内部をくり抜いたカブの中に、明るく燃えたろうそくを立て、家の入り口に飾る風習もあった。

リンボクは伝統的に黒魔術や呪術に使われる木であり、その棘は私たち自身の陰湿な心根を思い起こさせる。私たちは、さまざまな形で自分自身や他人を傷つけていることを忘れてはならない。どうすれば互いを傷つけずにすむかを考え、勇気を持って自分自身の陰湿な心根と向き合えば、リンボクは人間が持つこの暗い側面を克服するように導いてくれ、心の負い目を返上するように導いてくれる。

そして、死は誰も逃れることのできないものであるという事実を受け入れる助けにもなってくれる。

Dean’s offended/surprised face when Crowley says they had a bromance. In the same episode Sam called it their Summer of Love.

Dean for sure knows that it was not a platonic romance they had going…

you're giving such strawberry energy. I just know you'd be living in 12 having some small shop and buying strawberries off of Katniss 🥹

Marie!!!! 🥰

I love this so much that I made myself a little booth for Sunday market days:

This inkling was supposed to just be some random poor unfortunate inkling that came across Turnip Boy, but I became really attached to both of them. I called the inkling "Merry". Merry and Turnip Boy, alongside Glazelily (I haven't drawn him), now live together. They are housemates your honor.

Special thank you to Rin for making me draw them because of the first Turnip Boy stream:

"Wait, is this Splatoon?! Where humanity died off from a nuclear explosion, but instead of squid it was the vegetables?!" — Rin Penrose (not word per word)

Then I made this when they announced Big Big Run and someone made an apocalypse inkoming theory. "Even when the world is about to end, I still couldn't figure you out, Turnip Boy."

They are besties, they are housemates, I love them a normal amount.

I really wish his games, and especially the side games with him in it, explored more of Billy's religious side post-merging with Sothis; the tidbit on Legendary M!Billy's Meet the Heroes page about him coming out of the merge with a “saintly presence” is really interesting to think about, but it's also the closest any of the games ever come to specifying what about his personality changed due to the fusion AFAIK, and even that is ridiculously vague.

Well, it depends what you mean by "saintly presence" and tbh I don't think Billy's personality changed post fusion dance, but imo it's just that they can't act like before when Supreme Leader started her war, and after waking up, conquered half of the continent while Billy's predecessor - who asked them to look after "everyone young and old" - is MIA (and from what Billy can remember, most likely became Baldo and Waldi's food?).

But Green!Billy and post-war Green!Billy would imo be a Billy that had to "grow up real fast" like Cyril'd say, or in Billy's case, "mature real fast" as a leader and someone people look up to, more than a mere "professor" for random students, but as the leader of a faction in charge of restoring "peace" in a war torn land, and also being the leader of the CoS faction.

I love to hc students post TS thinking Billy is a prophet and "closer" to the goddess than before the fusion dance, but during tea time, Billy is the same Billy who wonders if they should offer a peeled raw turnip to Alois for his birthday or a non peeled raw turnip, and Rhea isn't here to give them "useful" pointers about how to "people".

[Fc] 119. YOU - What would a third-level society even look like? (Conclude.)

[Fc] 82. A BRIEF LOOK AT INFRA-MATERIALISM - Some have theorised that such a society would be fundamentally unrecognisable, lacking many of the institutions we typically take for granted in advanced societies, including organised governments, financial institutions, and law enforcement.

One of the best jokes in the communist quest is probably when the book on infra-materialism goes on about how first level revolutionary societies can make you bang hard and grow cool facial hair, and second level societies can bend matter with their minds, and you get to the third level and are wondering how crazy it’s gonna get and its like “the craziest thing of all: a stateless, classless, moneyless society”

This is worded a bit clumsy and is way longer than a sentence, but I am amused by a couple of the bits here and couldn't pick which one to use.

The night had gone on for weeks now. The moon still smiled mysteriously the exact same way it had when it had first appeared, unnaturally perfect and far closer than it should have been.

Many theories had been tossed about by the people of the forest – some unknowable Spirit happening (or prank); another strange thing the forest just did; or 'something that is kind of similar to something that happened somewhere else according to my wife's boyfriend's ex-roommate's cousin' – but the two fine people of station in the coach on the road out of Subcon knew why the forest had gone dark. Many of the ruling class of Subcon knew; and word had been spreading.

Gossip had a way of igniting once faces stopped being seen and bodies began turning up.

This is from my 'Royal Magician' AU, which is more on the YA fantasy side and involves plenty of pretty nasty fantasy murder.

for every "🌹" received in my inbox i'll post one random sentence of a random WIP i'm currently writing
