TM King Ekert and Queen Olena of Trenton

After defeating his brother and becoming King, King Ekert's next mission was to find a wife. News of King Ekert's search eventually reached the shores of the Glassworth. At the time, Glassworth was an island kingdom off the southern shores of Trenton.

King Ferdinand, later to be known as the Last King of Glassworth, proposed the idea his only child and heir, Crown Princess Olena, marry King Ekert and merge the two kingdoms. Glassworth was a prosperous kingdom and King Ferdinand was beloved by his people. King Ekert initially believed this proposal to be some sort of trick.

Out of desperation, King Ferdinand sent his wife, Queen Anya, and daughter to Trenton to try and reason with King Ekert. Even if Ekert refused to marry the princess, King Ferdinand wanted his wife and child to be safe. What King Ekert didn't know was King Ferdinand's exiled brother King Darien, self proclaimed King of Brido, was planning to attack Glassworth and Glassworth did not have the military strength to oppose them.

As the son of King Epidarius, a man that defeated tyrants and united the kingdoms of Trenitalia, King Ekert knew he needed to support Glassworth. Upon their marriage, Crown Princess Olena of Glassworth became HM Queen Olena of Trenton, Duchess of Glassworth. Glassworth became a duchy of Trenton and was now supported by the full force of Trenton's military. King Darien's forces were defeated and he returned to Brido empty handed.

To honor King Ferdinand's sacrifice, King Ekert decreed that the Duchy of Glassworth would only be held by the consort of the current reigning monarch.

King Ekert and Queen Olena had one child, Princess Edwena (she'll get her own moment in history at some point)

I dried these apple slices for decorational purpose. We shall see do I use them on my Samhain altar or will I leave them for the Yule. I'm not sure yet, but they are perfectly good for either one of those sabbats or just for the Autumn - Winter seasons. They can be used as a garland or parts of a wreath... only the imagination is your limit! 🥰

"In Lithuania, garlands made of wild flowers, healing herbs, and grasses are used in the solstice festival to adorn the head, decorate the homestead, float candles on the water, and burn in the bonfire."

"On the summer solstice, Lithuanians give kupole staffs to friends and neighbors to protect and bless their homes. Jonas showed us a kupole staff he had made with healing herbs: nettle (good for healing arthritis and a relaxation); wormwood (good for the nerves); southern wort (a nerve relaxant used to make absinthe liquor); mountain ash (considered a male plant, used in the celebration of St. John); and belladonna (a medicinal nightshade)."

"Next, he showed us decorative iron saule, which means “sun.” One had a circle, which represents the sun; branches which represent the tree of life; jagged thunderbolts; curved snakes; and roots representing the earth. In Lithuania, snakes are symbols of life. Gyvate means snake; gyvas means life. The first animals to appear from Mother Earth in the spring are the toad and the snake. Thunderbolts allude to the god of thunder who creates rain, and therefore gives life."
