Magic Boxes as Ceremony

A sequence of photos showing the process of gathering the seeds from an Egyptian Henbane seedpod. I will never get over how adorable the whole setup is, with that delicate lid that has to be removed using the old dried flower for a handle to do so.

These plants can create powerful spiritual alliances with all of us and the details and interactions we have can be very different from one another.

In that way, to me, these plants are of the Fae & I delight at being able to participate in ceremonies of the Fae. Ceremonies like opening these little magic boxes of seeds that bejewel many of their plants and keep me undeniably tied to their magic, reminding me to find both beauty & significance in the smallest of things.

Many may not see the Fae at all in relationship with these plants, but this is how they show themselves to me. Hopefully we can all respect each others' experiences no matter how different they can be from our own and what we may have been taught. In fact, I think that kind of open-mindedness to diversity is just the sort of things these plants excel at teaching us.
