thinking about the fact that the only place in the base game you could find the specific white flower with 5 petals in Shaman Village is Malenia boss arena… aka the Haligtree roots.

(that flower also looks like jasmine, which is what “Marika” means in Japanese - 茉莉花)

you can find the same 5-petal flower in Shadow Keep architecture too (Messmer splattering the flower bearing his Mother’s name and her golden ring symbol everywhere in his castle 😭 I bet it’s him who told Malenia about Marika being named after a flower)

Also the lily in the boss arena is Calla lily, not the one Miquella or Trina like, so I always assume it’s Malenia’s favourite, and if she’s growing them along with jasmine…

Such a small environmental design detail, but it’s so in line with my theory that the Marika’s Soreseal found in the Haligtree was meant to help seal away Malenia’s rot (like the eye Messmer got), it just didn’t work.

yet Malenia kept it always, and grew the flowers her mother was named after in her new home. something to remember her by…

Extra edit: Trina was growing jasmine along with her purple lilies as well.

There's something tragic about Miquella, on his path to abandon everything that made him Marika's child, left the flower bearing his Mother's name - the flower he probably planted together with his sister at the Haligtree roots - with his discarded love.

Full Moon Ritual Honoring The Universe

I wanted to use the full moon energy to sit with the universe and show my appreciation. Was it chilly outside? Yes, but I brought a blanket with me in our circle and some hibiscus tea ☕.

I have designated rocks that I borrow from the mini pond. I marked them with melted wax so I can feel them if it's not very bright outside.

Items used:

Crystals

Amethyst (psychic abilities and intuition) 💜

Clear Quartz (amplify energy and intention) 🤍

Moonstone (enhance connection to the moon) 🩷

Oils

Almond Oil (attract love) 🪔

Herbs 🌿

Rose Petals (love and safety) 🌹

Lavender (for love and protection) 🪻

Mugwort (for connecting with the lunar energy) 🌿

Acorns (for wisdom) 🌰

Candles

White (attract protection and the energy of the full moon) 🤍

Pink (attract love and friendship) 🩷

I used the crystals for psychic abilities and amplification of my connection to the moon. I anointed my hands and one of the candles of each color with almond oil from top to bottom to attract love. I combined the lavender, mugwort, rose petals, and crushed acorn caps, then burned them. The whole acorns and loose caps were also scattered around with some rose petals on the altar. I used white candles to attract protection and the energy of the full moon. I used pink candles to attract love and friendship.

I then listened to my music and sipped some tea. I placed the used tea leaves in a glass dish to share with the universe.

It was nice to just hangout with the moon and the universe. I told her how grateful I am that I am able to do things like this. That I know I am in a decent place right now and I appreciate all that I have. I let her know I will be strong no matter what comes my family's way.
