"From childhood's hour I have not been as others were;
I have not seen as others saw;
I could not bring my passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken my sorrow;
I could not awaken my heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone." --Poe
If you’re going to use a blade to harvest mistletoe or any plants in life why it’s good to use a copper sickle or blade…
✨
There is definitely a meeting point between folklore and science with this issue.
✨
Lore for aeons has always stated that the plants only like to be cut with a copper blade. And not iron nor steel because it drives away the spirit from the plants. For the faeries do not like them as it repels & hurts them.
✨
The Tuatha de Dannan, the fae folk of these isles were spoken of being very close to human kind; the key thing which was different is that they did not contain an iron molecule in their blood, to make that haem molecule to allow their blood to be infused with oxygen. For it is the iron which grounds the human spirit into mortality and gives each human their own magnetic field. For the fae breathed the eternal light to sustain their spirits instead.
✨
Iron is known as a base metal, it corrodes & breaks down in the presence of oxygen over time.
Whilst copper is one of the noble metals, it is non corrosive…seen as an eternal metal.
✨
When a plant is cut with iron it quickens the tannins, excellarating plant cell death & decay. Iron & steel literally steals electrons from the plants which causes this excelleration of decay (steel is a v apt word in this case.)
✨
Whilst when a plant is cut with copper it forms an antimicrobial layer to the cut preserving the flowers and preventing rot.
✨
Iron is magnetic, copper is conductive. So, whereas iron tools disturb soil magnetism, copper assists the flow of earth energies to nourish the plants.

Marie-Louise von Franz on the 'archetypal connection of ego and Self, which has to be filled out by actual realisation in each person's life'.

Darling, once you understand that we all have our cute little addictions that fuel and get us by, things will make a lot more sense to you.
Some addictions are just more socially sanctioned or covert than others.
Who saves the saviour? Who heals the healer? Who leads the leader? Maybe the one who’s been watching them from the start, the one in whose arms they can fall apart, the one who takes care of their heart.
Dear mind,
I'd love to get a raincheck on our depression episode and general dark thoughts cause right now isn't so suitable for me as I am already swamped and very tired.
Thanks!
Like, we're stressed. We can't be both stressed AND depressed. It's a bit much. Pick a struggle.
