Faebruary/Februfairy 2024: "Lure"

The two humans wandered down the cobblestone street of Elfame, looking at the lush grass and beautiful trees that grew on the sides of the road.

"This place doesn't look dangerous."

"Yeah, but don't let your guard down. And don't forget what he said. We can't..."

He took a few more steps, then froze. His friend stopped right beside him.

"Crap. What was it? We're not allowed to—to—"

"Eat!" the first one shouted. "We can't eat anything, or we're stuck here forever! But he warned us, right? This place'll make us forget. We have to remember. Don't eat."

The second friend put a hand to his head. "Right. No eating. Man, that was freaky."

They started walking again.

"We can't eat anything."

"I know."

"Good. 'Cause I was starting to forget."

They walked for about ten more seconds.

"We can't...oh, frickin'—we can't...eat! Right?"

"Okay!" The first one stopped again, digging around in his pockets. "We gotta be smart about this."

He took out a pen and wrote DON'T EAT in huge letters down his left forearm. He handed it to his friend, who grimaced as he tried to do the same.

"Can barely see this against my skin..."

"Well, maybe writing it will help us remember anyway. We can't eat," the other snapped, staring at his arm as they continued their journey. "Can't eat. Can't eat. Persephone rules. Do. Not. Eat."

They kept walking. The second human murmured "Don't eat" under his breath every ten seconds or so. His companion kept staring at his arm, an expression of mixed determination and annoyance on his face.

After a while, his arm began to ache, so he let it fall to his side. His friend had stopped muttering a minute or two before.

"Man...I'm getting hungry."

"Me, too. How long have we been walking, do you think?"

"I dunno. Maybe we can—oh, hey!"

He pointed at an apple tree growing a few yards off the road. They jogged over. The first friend inhaled deeply.

"Man, those smell good."

"Probably taste even better," the second said, grinning as he plucked one from a branch and rubbed it against his shirt.

He brought it to his mouth, and there was a horrible half-second when his companion suddenly realized what was happening.

"DUDE!"

He swatted it out of the other's hand just before he could take a bite. The second human jumped back and looked indignant.

"What the hell, man?!"

"We can't eat anything! Remember?!"

He blinked hard. Then swore, very loudly.

"Come on," he first one said, shooting a fearful look at the pretty trees with its tempting red apples. "Let's get out of here before we forget again."

"Yeah."

They walked away quickly. The second one breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thanks, man. You saved my ass back there."

"Yeah," his friend said vaguely. Then he started, turning to look over his shoulder. "Hey!"

"What?"

He laughed nervously. "We were so distracted talking about how hungry we were that we walked right by that apple tree!"

The second one snorted. "How could we—wait!"

He grabbed his friend's hand and pulled him away as fast as possible.

[Location] Yggdrasil Realms

These "Yggdrasil Realms" are a mixture of actual realms, and locations in larger dimensions

These are not entirely accurate to the original myths

Although in Norse mythology there are Nine, there are seven here

Niflhiem

This totally cold location is the phantom plane people go to when they die. Includes predominantly the Duat (Egyptian) and also Hel (Norse).

Muspelhiem

Also called The Forge of Creation, it is a dimension made entirely of primevality, which appears as totally hot fire to most species. Notable inhabitants include Surtr.

Nidavellir

This is the home of the svartfalfar, commonly referred to as "dwarves", "elven dwarves", "nidavellins", "Yggdrasilin dwarves", or "Norse dwarves", these creatures are descendents of the Dokkafar (dark elves) and misir (people of Midgard).

Notable created artefacts include: the Geat Artefacts of the Nine Realms(mjolnir, draupmir, gungnir, skinbladnir) and the Great Artefacts of Toriris (Vorpal Sword, Excalibur).

Misiria (Midgard)

This is a planet that orbits the star Fen-Ra, and is the habitat of the Misir, a humanlike race descended from the ancient Alfar (ancestors of ljosalfar and dokkafar). Only planet in Ordinary Space be connected to Yggdrasil. Jormungandr the Midgard Serpent acts as a Saturn-esque belt

Elfame

This "realm" is in fact a vast continent in the dimension Toriris, and includes Alfhiemr (ljosalfar and dokkafar) and Asgard as a grand city to the north-west.

Ljosgard (land of light, mid east) is the capital of the Light Elves Nation/People, and Dokkagard can refers to one of two things: a future where the dokkafar are not oppressed, or to a nonexistent city where the dokkafar plot to overthrow the ljosalfar.

Jotunheim

This realm of the Jotnar - a species the Aesir hate immensely - is actually just icy caps surrounding Elfame. Many storms on Misiria can also transport one here.

Vanahiem

This is a realm (read: finite dimension) situated "above and beyond Asgard". The dominant race of this realm are the Vanir, including Njoror, Njorun, Freyr, Freyja, Mimir (not myth accurate) and presumably many more.

Like the Witch Father, the Witch Mother is the dual-natured Archetypal Divine Feminine. She is life and death, creation and destruction, She is all. In Traditional Witchcraft, She is an initiator into witchcraft and the being that creates and molds the world to Her whim. The Witch Mother is essentially Witchcraft itself.

In the same way it is hard to define and pinpoint the Witch Father, the Witch Mother is another enigmatic spirit essential to Traditional Witchcraft. Across cultures and centuries, She has been known by many names. Diana, Herodias, Frau Holle, Baba Yaga, Sa Rejusta, the Queen of Elphame, and Nicnevin are some of the names that She has gone by.

As it stands, the Witch Mother is the Mother of all Witches. From her, we begin to learn the ways of the Crooked Path. Usually, it is by chance encounter that we meet Her, or one of Her emissaries, and we are put through trials. Through these trials, however, comes the enlightenment of the Path and we find our Witch Fire lit. With Her blessings, we are granted access to the unseen.

The Witch Mother is a Dark Feminine Great Spirit. She is the primordial womb from which all life emanates. She forms the Earth to Her liking. The Witch Mother holds sway over life and death, the seasons, and even the turning of the day. She is the Magna Mater. She fiercely protects Her children and gives us the knowledge and tools that we need in order to defend ourselves from those wishing us harm.

Her lore can be dark and sometimes violent. But it’s necessary as a protectress for Her family. When we prove ourselves to Her, She becomes a Great Ally for us in our paths.

Baba Yaga

In Vasilisa the Beautiful and Baba Yaga, we come to learn that Baba Yaga has mastery over the world. Through her servants, the days and nights turn over. In the story of Natasha, Baba Yaga has a towel that can create rivers and a comb that can create forests. Baba Yaga occupies the archetype of Witch Mother as the initiator and creatrix of the world. She gives these girls tasks which at first glance seem impossible but by their wit and cunning natures, they overcome them. This leads to Baba Yaga fulfilling her promise and granting them the boon they came to her for. For Vasilisa, the fire she seeks also burns her stepmother and sisters to ashes leaving her free from their oppression and hatred.

Frau Holle or Mother Hulda

In the story of Mother Hulda, two step-sisters end up in the Otherworld and in service to Her. The first sister is hardworking while the other one is lazy. The hardworking sister drops her spindle into the well while trying to clean it and must figure out a way to get it out. She falls in and comes out in the Otherworld. She meets an apple tree asking for help to get its ripe fruit down from its branches and a loaf of bread asking to be taken from the fire before it burns. Naturally, she obliges. Coming to a house in the meadow, she meets Mother Hulda who asks her for help around the house. This sister is very hardworking and listens to all of Mother Hulda’s requests, including how to fluff her pillows so the feathers fall so it will snow on Earth. Accomplishing this and asking to return home, she is sent back with gold falling all about her to keep.

The second sister, being lazy and greedy jumps into the well and into the otherworld wanting her own gold. She marches past the apple tree and the bread not stopping to help them, and comes to meet Mother Hulda and agrees to work for her as well. She performs well on the first day and gives way to laziness in the coming days. When she asks to go home, expecting to be showered in gold, she is told to “get lost” and is instead showered in tar.

In this story, we see Her control over the weather and her home in the Otherworld. She has the power to bless and to curse. She expects those who want to learn witchcraft and the occult arts to hold up their end of the bargain. She grants power to those who are willing to work for it.

Queen of Elfame

In several witch trials in Scotland, we see the Queen of Elfame make an appearance. In the trial of Bessie Dunlop (1576), she confesses that she has traveled to the Otherworld and has communed with the Queen of Elfame several times. For her kindness when in the guise of an old woman, Bessie is granted a familiar who teaches her natural remedies, knowledge of where to find lost items, and information about prophecies.

Several years later, in 1588, Alison Pearson (also styled as Alesoun Peirsoun) was burned at the stake for communing with the Queen. In Elfame, she learned of medicinal herbs, healing arts, and how to make charms and potions which she sold.

In 1597, Andro (Andrew) Man confesses that he has lain with the Queen of Elphen and they begot many children together. He further confessed that through her, he would become knowledgeable in all things, help and cure all sicknesses except death. In his confession, Andro Man goes on to explain that “the Queen of Elphen has a grip of all the craft, but Christsonday (the Devil) is the husband and has all power under God.” They also have spirits in their company that are known to Man.

Aradia: or the Gospel of Witches

In Aradia, it is attested that Diana is the Mother of Witches. She teaches her daughter, Aradia, witchcraft and charges her to go to Earth to teach humans this art. Specifically, Aradia is sent to teach the poor and the slaves witchcraft in order to free themselves from their lot in life.

thinkim about ur fan colony,, mayhaps have a crumb of lore? even if just a lil' to keep me going thru these troublesom times, hope you u have a good day!

Thalamhan, in comparison to other cybertronian colonies, is fairly young. Danuas was among the first titans to take to space, but among the last to find a planet for themselves. This is because she traveled further than most, to the far reaches of the galaxy where no other titan had gone, and she was very picky about what planet she would settle down in. The planet she chose was known to other life forms as Feyeri-7, but it would come to be named Elthame by its future inhabitants. When she landed on it, she began to burrow deep down into its earth until she brushed its molten mantle and fell into her slumber. The first Thalamites were born soon after—it’s unknown if there were cybertronians who had settled down on the planet with her, as if there were, they’ve been lost to history.

Danuas didn’t have a cityspeaker for a long time, not as the vibrant and lush caverns she had burrowed through or created in her wake were being discovered and settled in by her first generation. Thalamites may have not been aware of her existence even, not until one of them (re)discovered the titan and fully felt their connection with her. They awakened the rest of the Thalamites to Danuas soon after, and all were immediately devoted to the one who had gifted them with their life and home. It’s still unknown how Coru became the first real cityspeaker, but he was among the oldest.

The discovery of natural ununtrium veins would come further in the future.

#hope you like it!#thalamhan #danuas #Feyeri-7 is pronounced almost like fairy-7 as a little nod #finally i named the planet!!#I’m rethinking coru’s design actually… I might want him to be a little beefier. a little older presenting #just to show how old he is #and him crushing on the twinkier gealach is cute to me idk #Elthame is a spin off Elphame/Elfame which is another name for fairyland

the cruel prince headcannons i have and ik I'm right okay!? part 2/it shall go on forever

Vivi would be the one to have those memory shoe boxes, like with polaroids of them and lil notes they wrote to each other when they were kids. She's secretly very sentimental, she keeps everything that helps her remember any small moment (just like me frfr)

which is why she loves right where you left me by taylor swift. AHA

Jude is evermore and Taryn is folklore.

When you yell at at either Jude or Cardan they both go stone-faced and chew the inside of their cheeks. Both of them weren't allowed to show weakness growing up so they share this trait and it has been titled the "uh-oh expression" because if they make that face uh oh! you're fucked.

When cardan finds out Jude trained herself to be immune to poisons, obviously, his first response is going bat shit insane because "why would you do that!!!" but after that has worn off its "....this means you can brew poisons right?..so theoretically.....you could teach me how to make poisons RIGHT???"

She says no.

He is devastated

When you look at cardan he looks scary as shit but that kinda wears off when the king of Elfame has a habit of draping himself across curtains to express distraught or distaste

Jude is the one who detangles him from the curtains after the said breakdown

HEATHER

WOULD

PUT

FLOWERS

IN

CARDANS

HAIR

and he would let her.

even though he hates his being touched, him and heather have become unlikely friends

Because he loves stories and telling them, and she is "a delightful audience Jude, she gasps at all the right parts and asks all the right questions!"

Cardan also feels like he finally got sisters back with Vivi and Heather

HEATHER AND VIVI DO GET BACK TOGETHER FUCK YOU

as the years pass, cardan doesn't let Jude go the mortal realm often cause then she'll age :((

Cardan and Jude often make elaborate mockeries of the members in the council (what you thought cardan was the only dramatic and sarcastic one???)

VIVI WAS A THEATRE KID SHE STILL REMEMBERS ALL THE MUSICALS SHE DID

Taryn's favorite subject would've been literature

Jude was a math kid i think

If she found cool math games.com she would go insane

"WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME ABOUT THIS MAGICAL SITE" "Jude we were kids when we left so we couldn't have-" "SHUT UP TARYN

On November 8th 1576 Elizabeth Bessie Dunlop was found guilty of Witchcraft and sentenced to be burnt at the stake.

Today, she would have been seen as a wise woman, a psychic or a medium. But when Bessie Dunlop went on trial in Edinburgh in 1576, she was quickly branded “The Witch of Dalry”, tortured, then burned at the stake.

For years, she had been helping locals with potions, predictions and cures for cattle. But she was an early victim of the Scottish witch purges, when the saying: “Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live” was taken literally.

Records of Bessie’s trial survived through the centuries and, perhaps because of that, she remains one of Scotland’s most famous “witches”. Plays and books have been written about her over the years.

Most recent accounts portray Bessie as a woman who helped locals and their livestock with herbal cures. She also claimed to possess “second sight” – and talked to spirits and “fairies”.

Under torture, most witches would admit to almost anything – from consorting with the Devil, putting curses on locals or even killing children. Not Bessie.

Instead, she claimed merely to have met with a spirit guide, who introduced her to the fairy folk, who resided in Cleeves Cove – the secluded caves just a mile and a half from Dalry.

In her confession, she claimed that while taking her cow to a field, she came across an elderly man with a grey beard.

He claimed to be the spirit of Thomas Reid, a former Baron Officer to John Blair of Dalry, who had been killed at the battle of Pinkie in 1547.

At the time Bessie was stressed with worry, her child, husband and cow were ill, and it seemed that they would not recover. The old man comforted her and predicted that her cow and child would die, but her husband would make a full recovery. He then disappeared down a hole in a dyke that was to be much too small to let any mortal man pass by it.

On their next meeting, the strange apparition offered her material goods in the form of horses and cows if she would denounce Christianity. She refused and said that she would rather be whipped. The angry spirit disappeared.

On his return, he introduced her to the ‘fairies’. Swearing secrecy, he introduced her to four men and eight women of Elfame, another name for the fairy realm. They were dressed as humans but very smartly, the men like gentlemen, and the women had ‘all plaids about them’. They were very friendly towards Bessie but when she refused to go with them ,they left with a “hideous ugly blast of wind” leaving Bessie lying sick on the ground.

She claimed her spirit mentor taught her how to cure cattle and children. People came to her for advice on a regular basis and her reputation was beginning to spread. She was allegedly even able to tell people the location of missing items.

And it wasn’t just the poor folk of the town who consulted her.

Lady Johnstone sent a servant to consult her regarding the sickness of her daughter. Bessie in turn consulted Thomas. “Her sickness,” he is recorded as having told her, “is due to cauld blood that went about her heart, that caused her to pine away. Therefore, let her take equal parts of cloves, ginger, annis-seed, and liquorice, and mix them together in ale; seethe them together; strain the mixture; put it in a vessel, then take a little quantity of it in a mutchkin can, with some white sugar cast among it; take and drink thereof each day in the morning; walk a while after, before meat, and she would soon be better.” Bessie was also consulted by Lady Blackhall and received as payment a peck of meal and some cheese. Lady Thirdpart, in the barony of Renfrew, sent to her to discover who had stolen some coins out of her purse – Bessie named the culprit.

She was also consulted by the daughter of William Blair of Strand, who was to be married to the Laird Crawford of Baidland. Thomas, speaking through Bessie, suggested that if she were to marry him she would come to an untimely demise by her own hand. The wedding plans were dropped and the laird finally married the woman’s sister.

Thomas also allegedly predicted that Bessie would face trial for her dealings with the spirit world, but her neighbours would save her from evil. Sadly for Bessie, that prediction failed to come true.

The crime of which she was accused was “sorcery, witchcraft, and incantation, with invocation of spirits of the devil, continuing in familiarity with them at all such times as she thought expedient, dealing with charms, and abusing the people with devilish craft of sorcery aforesaid”.

Bessie is believed to have been burned to death on Edinburgh’s Castle Hill.

An alternative legend claims she was brought back to Ayrshire and burned at Corsehillmuir, Kilwinning. The court records fail to describe her final fate.

An ongoing campaign goes on in Scotland to have all those who were killed after a witchcraft conviction, tro be pardoned.
