Alchemilla mollis (lady’s mantle) has  cup-like leaves  for catching beautiful beads of dew. Alchemists saw magic in the plant, and the dew. It is said they used the drops to turn base metals into gold – hence the name Alchemilla, after the practice of alchemy.

Stravinsky’s “Firebird” was written for the ballet. The firebird holds a sacred place in Russian folklore. A symbol of doom to hope, the Firebird’s rise from its ashes has inspired many. It inspires me & is playing whenever I write.

 #FairyTaleTuesday 
I do not go into the fairy light
To find pretty lithe night wisps
I hold none of Titania’s dreams
On my midnight state tryst
I avoid clichéd moonbeams
No rare beauty do I long to kiss
Nothing is as it seems

The Bannik ruled the Slavic bathhouse w/the ability to predict the future. He was consulted by standing with one's back exposed in the half-open door of the bath. It would gently stroke one's back if all boded well; but if trouble lay ahead, he'd strike with claws

In the vocabulary of the elders was a fable used to frighten us into not entering the forest. Barren branches, gnarly trees, the witch’s cottage, all words which filled us with fear. One day the "witch" beckoned me and showed me the beauty in truth.
