Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tonguez" data-source="post: 9776286" data-attributes="member: 1125">IMC I have a Unseelie Spring Hag "Nanny Blossomthaw"  The Mother of Renewal, the Spring Thaw, the Petal Crone. She represents the Spring thaw. When the Cailleach lays down her mantle of frost and the snows retreat, the earth awakens to the melting ice and the muddy soil drinks deeply of decay. It is Nanny Blossomthaw who rises laughing from that thaw. She is the first warmth, the soft rot, and delights in every bud that forces its way through old bones, every worm that turns the dead to loam. To her, life is the inevitable outcome of decay- chaotic, relentless and all consuming abundance. Nanny Blossomthaw adores mortals. She calls them her little seedlings, and will adopt an entire village as her garden. She waters their spirits with mirth and song, prunes away sorrow and sickness, and encourages growth in every sense — emotional, artistic, and physical. But she cannot bear stagnation and dreads despondency. When stength withers, she cuts it away, when joy fades, she replants.Under her care, a village becomes a vibrant garden of color and excess: lovers dance till they collapse exhausted, artists paint the horizon with their endless dreams, crops, weeds and brambles grow wild through the streets, and flowers bloom from every surface - including the flesh of the withered and the dead. By the end the village becomes a garden of bright smiling blossoms growing in a field of bones.</blockquote>
