    I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
    And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
    Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for the honey bee,
    And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

    And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
    Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
    There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
    And evening full of the linnet’s wings.

    I will arise and go now, for always night and day.
    I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
    While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
    I hear it in the deep heart’s core.

      The Lake Isle of Innisfree by William Butler Yeats, poet, magician, member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, Crowley adversary, and fascist.

      People are complex, multifaceted beings.

      I take little offense to this being AI. Besides “AI = bad”, & environmental concerns being burdened to the consumer, what really is the harm here? It’s a nice image.

        How many millions of pictures exist like this? What is the point in using the bullshit machine for something so incredibly common? It’s not even the point of the post.

        Trees are weird, grass is weird, random light spots through the canopy that make no sense, but the biggest giveaway is that “path”. No one who has ever hiked in the woods would walk on that path. It’s just begging to twist all your ankles

            Then with regards to the meme, which holds value?

            Are you in an environment where you can do that at some point during your day or evening, if only for a few moments? What about every few days or a week? What would it take to get you to the point you can?

            These answers aren’t for us, they’re for you, so no need to answer here, unless you want to and feel safe doing so. My best to you, my witchy friend. You deserve it.

    All forests are enchanted.

    Not necessarily by pure spirits, or by good ones: usually it’s a perfectly average mixture, but sometimes, especially just after rain, when the plants are happiest, they are sooo magical…
