The soft flesh of mushrooms breaking beneath calloused hands, rough bark and cool waters, soft silken strands of ivy vines and the brittle heads of lavender buds, magick pulsating from mother earth, her lifeblood weaving its way through deft fingertips, a prince within this eden, healing salves and poison chalices, always remember to drink from the right vial.

“She picked up the pieces of her life and created something beautiful. From that day forth she shone like the sun and changed the definition of broken.”

“A mermaid is a legendary aquatic creature with the head and upper body of a female human and the tail of a fish.
