We revere the Trees - their memory, their magic, their mediation of the Worlds! They unite Middle Earth with the Heavens above and Underworld beneath and open Gateways between the Worlds. They are not only sacred as part of Nature: they are sacred Powers of Otherworld that have taken root in this world!

@geoffreypa6667 Team Jon. As it turned out. And I believed in her. Foolishly. The warning signs were always there: Blood and Fire! But I hope things end differently for her in the books. Very differently.

@Dih_Marinho8 @geoffreypa6667 She might yet get one!

Don't burn fallen leaves—many friends are hidden among them.

Leave them, or pile into quiet corners as winter habitat.

Too tidy is nature's enemy.

What if thought and speech shared the same divine origin? ☀️ 💬

A commentary within Chapter 17 of the Book of the Dead gives Hu and Sia a striking place in creation. It connects the emergence of ancestral gods with blood from Ra’s own body, then names Hu and Sia among the gods following Atum each day. Egyptian sacred texts could offer several explanations beside one another, so this is one particular account. Here, divine speech and perception belong to the creator’s own substance. The capacities through which a world can be understood and addressed are imagined as members of a living divine family.

Understanding and utterance could share the sun’s own life. If the Egyptians imagined them born together, what might they have thought happened when someone spoke without understanding? 🤔

@SimonLeggX @petinfome It's happening somewhere - on another planet or a parallel Earth. Hopefully not on this one. But if they can engineer it in a lab, they will!

@MadelaineLucyH Unless it's Dave Gilmour discovering Kate Bush. I hope!
