~ Special Note: Please do not cut a blooming tree for it angers the Faeries ~

Like water which can clearly mirror

the sky and the trees only so long as

its surface is undisturbed, the mind

can only reflect the true image

of the Self when it is tranquil and

wholly relaxed.

~ Indra Devi ~

Narcissus: A thousand nymphs loved the handsome youth, but suffered the pains of unrequited love. Viewing himself in the crystal fount, he became enamoured of his own image.

~ Poem ~

What first inspired a bard of old to sing

Narcissus pining o'er the untained spring

In some delicious ramble, he had found

A little space, with boughs all woven;

And in the midst of all, a clearer pool

Than e'er reflected in its pleasant cool,

The blue sky here, and there, serenely peeping

Through tendril wreaths fantastically creeping.

And on the bank a lonely flower he spied,

A meek and forlorn flower with naught of pride,

Drooping its beauty o'er the watery clearness,

To woo its own sad image into nearness:

Deaf to light Zephyrus it would not move;

But still would seem to droop, to pine, to love.

So wile the poet stood in this sweet spot,

Some fainter gleamings o'er his fancy shot;

Nor was it long ere he had told the tale

Of young Narcissus, and sad Echo's bale.

TREES

Fig
~ Enlightenment, Awakening the Intuitive and Feminine Natures, Releasing Blockages, Enhancing Creative Forces Within, Divination, Fertility, Love ~

The fruit of the Fig tree, with its many seeds, represents the feminine realm, fertility and prosperity. A basket of Figs symbolizes woman as goddess or mother. The fruit has erotic symbolism and was sacred to Bacchus, god of wine and vegetation. Adam and Eve covered their nakedness with leaves from the Fig tree.

To charm any man or woman, give them a Fig. They will be spellbound by your presence, as long as they like Figs.

Write a question on a Fig leaf. If the leaf dries slowly, the answer is yes, or it is a good omen. If it dries quickly just the opposite.
