Do you remember your first spell!?
Just a little Periwinkle, a 21-year-old with the heart of a fairy, wandering through a world that often feels too tame. Since I’m human, I’m trying to reconnect with the wildness that this modern world has buried. I dream of dancing in moonlit meadows, sipping from secret streams, and riding frogs through fields of sunlight. Curiosity is my guide as I search for the magic hiding in plain sight. A beginner in many things, but always seeking to rediscover the untamed beauty that lies just beyond the surface. Let’s embrace the enchantment together. ✨
Cladonia leporina
Jester lichen
Currently yelling at my colleague about how ridiculous it is that for most of my life, I didn't *see* Cladonias, or most lichens for that matter. I, who spent so much time outside and considered myself a real student of nature never noticed them. Seriously, how was I just overlooking things like this in the world? The mind boggles. C. leporina has a fruticose thallus of widely spreading branches growing is cushions up to 5 cm tall and 10 cm wide. It is greenish-yellow in color, with a smooth, corticate (bark-like) surface. It produces bright red apothecia from the branch tips. C. leporina grows on sandy soil and wood in the southeastern USA and Caribbean islands. I understand Elton John when I look at this little guy, because honestly, how wonderful life truly is, while Cladonia's in the world.

“To confront a person with his shadow is to show him his own light. Once one has experienced a few times what it is like to stand judgingly between the opposites, one begins to understand what is meant by the self. Anyone who perceives his shadow and his light simultaneously sees himself from two sides and thus gets in the middle.”
― Carl Jung
