I love the flower crown traditions too. They are part of our pagan roots, they are in our songs and folklore. It is believed that the flower crown protects the wearer from evil. And usually it is made out of nine different flowers, that you find out in the wild meadows. For men, the crown usually is made out of oak leaves as it symbolizes strength. So be strong as an oak :) I just love how pagan we were, everything is connected to nature and elements since they directly affected the life of the old. It makes perfect sense to me that we would have decorated ourselves with beautiful things from nature too. We used to live in closeness with nature, in balance, carefully listening and seeking what it was telling us, at it's mercy. Nature was our God essentially. What the hell happened to us?
It is funny how we are even arrogant to think that we will continue on in some other form after all this shit. Honestly, I am not sure we deserve anything more. We are just another variable of the chaos and when we stop existing that will be it for us and well earned nothingness sounds just about right. We could have had it all yet we simply chose to be assholes that consume and destroy everything in our path just because we love our comfort and we don't give a shit about anything else.
Haha, maybe we will witness our glorious end! How cool is that though?
Hugs
