Tale of Adam Root and Eve Root

written by ILA (Lisa)

Welcome to the Garden of Earthly Delights this is a tale of Adam Root and Eve Root. One day while in the Garden of Earthly delights, the tree lord decided to make a male herb named Adam Root. Adam Root was born from the tree lord, he was an herb in a garden of many temptations. While Adam Root was taking form growing from a baby herb too an adult herb he began to change and discover who he was.As he grew, the tree lord told him you've been bestowed the magickal properties Sex Magick, Fertility, Rejuvenation. Adam asked the tree lord "Why these properties? " if I have no female herb to produce with and rejuvenate the garden. That got the tree lord to thinking and as he left Adam for the evening and told Adam when he awoke the next morning he would not be alone.

Adam Root pondered, thought all evening when he laid down to sleep he tossed and turned as he tried to figure exactly what the tree lord meant. As he finally settled, The Tree Lord took one of Adams branches and started creating a female herb consort for Adam. When Adam Root awoke to find a beautiful female herb next to him in the herb garden. "WHO ARE YOU" he frightfully said, The frail female herb said I am Eve Root and who might you be? I am Adam Root I uh um er live here in the herb garden. Looking at each other both was a fright with what they saw. Just as they were discovering each other the voice of the tree lord came to them both I created Eve Root so you Adam wouldn't be lonely. Thank You, great tree lord she is beautiful. I must caution you Adam do not engage anything with your magickal powers. Eve spoke up "How come he has powers and I don't", she asked the tree lord. Sweet Eve you also have magickal powers given they are Love, Happiness, Compassion, New Life. She inquired how do we use these powers? Do we on each other? How does this work? So many questions sweet Eve, you both heed me you must not use these powers on each other under no circumstances. Do you both understand? "Yes", they said in unison.

Many months passed and it was spring, a time for rejuvenation, rebirth a celebration of Beltane. Adam and Eve got used to each other as fruit were forming on the trees, flowers were blooming and new beginnings was around the corner little did Adam and Eve Root realize their life in the garden was about to take a different turn. Eve, stated to Adam I am so bored with tending to these flowers and I so want an apple these grapes are losing their flavor. Adam replied rules of the garden don't to apply to boredom, the Tree Lord said were not to indulge in the apples on the tree we are only consume the grapes. Flowers are to keep you busy so try not to think about boredom with them. So Eve went about her day and Adam was wanting to find out what his powers were and why he couldn't use them on Eve. This bothered him immensely, as he sat there bothered along came the Snake Lady. She slithered by Adam and hissed at him to get his attention. Startled by her hissing at him he looked at her and frightfully asked who she was. Who are you, what kind of snake are you? Slithering towards him I am the Lady Snake it seems like you and Ms innocent over there are getting quite bored are you not? Just as Lady Snake asked Adam that here comes Eve Root, why yes we are, she replied. Have any suggestions to relive this dreadful Borden?

Why Yes I do as she slithered toward Eve Root, I overheard you complain of eating grapes and how bored you were with flowers and making garlands. Yes ,Yes that is true replied Eve Root. Well since you two ARE the only ones in the garden I don't think eating some apples will HARM you, Do you? Adam hastily said the Tree Lord made it clear we were not to eat his apples off his trees. Since when did those trees become HIS trees after all I share this garden with him and now you two. You may have apples if you so desire. Just then a loud boom of thunder boomed across the sky and the Lady Snake disappeared and appearing in his place was the Tree Lord. Adam and Eve were you not speaking to Lady Snake, both looked perplexed as to how did he know they were talking to her.

Adam and Eve both stuttered the words Yes we were, She is dangerous and most of all she does not share the garden with me she is using trickery to get you to be tempted. No she wasn't angrily stated Eve, she was merely sharing her food with us as you have given us grape vine after grape vine and rows of apple trees. Why can we not eat the apples? Eating the apples of the apple trees cause wild behaviors you cannot control the magick that lies within those apples or temptations. Scoffing off Eve stated in ad mist of her scoffing I do not believe you whatsoever. Adam whispered I wished you hadn't said that. The Tree Lord became very displeased by his creation's behavior, Eve this behavior displeases me to know end. You shall be punished if you consume those apples out of rebellion towards me and your virtues and in a puff of smoke he left. As night fell Adam and eve drifted off to sleep, and just as the had Lady Snake slithered passed the sleeping couple. Deviling smiling, this is gonna be so easy with two nieve virtuous and nieve people. Just as lighting danced across the sky Lady Snake transformed into a goddess of temptation, mere mortal fools think I am a snake, boy do I have them fooled. She waved her wand over the sleeping duo and recited her cantation, Apples, Apples, Apples are what you shall eat, consume and see what lies at your feet. Adam take Eve and consummate this relationship to fulfill that undying temptation that lies within.At the last strike of lighting she shape shifted quickly back into a snake and slithered away.

The very next morning, Adam awoke to a sleeping Eve with no prior knowledge what occurred last night during his slumber. She is so pretty, so innocent and she is so beautiful, Desirous she is I wish I could and I can't. He walked away before Eve awoke, fetching breakfast which consisted not grapes BUT apples. He headed toward Eve without realizing what he grabbed instead of grapes, in the background Lady Snake was cackling with delight, stupid fool you've fallen for my spell. Eve saw Adam over here, Here he said I've fetched you breakfast, Just as Eve reached in the basket she noticed it was not grapes but apples, she said to Adam you've brought me Apples not grapes, in his reply Go ahead and eat there is no harm in eating an apple. She looked surprised after he scolded her yesterday, just as she took the first bite she felt warm and fuzzy.Adam took a bite from the same apple he too felt tingling all over, what's going on he yelped..and he walked over to Eve root and wrapped his roots around her in a passionate embrace and kissed her and consummated as herbs do by intertwining each other. After all was said and done they finally realized what they HAD done. Adam said, "Oh he's going to be so displeased by our actions look what we did". "Well it wasn't my fault" Eve said you took advantage of me, and our powers combined and all out of wack now look where we are. Just as she stated that, Lady Snake slithered by the couple who was intertwined, Looky Looky Here what do I see before me. You did this exclaimed Adam and Eve was sobbing you tricked us you reptile. Well yes, I am a reptile but YOU chose to follow temptation it was merely me who suggested the idea.

Your choice was to follow YOUR temptation, stated Lady Snake. I don't care what you say stated Eve your at fault not us. Ah but my child you are said Lady Snake, you were warned not to combine your powers; you chose to and you were warned not to eat the apples which you neglected to do. "Your point is", stated Adam just as he said this a loud angry boisterous thunder boomed and appeared the Tree Lord. My My it appears you two have landed yourself in a fine mess here, at the same time ITS not our fault they exclaimed. THEN whose is it, exclaimed the Tree Lord, It was her fault she did this to us, no my children its your fault. What to do with you two? I've decided that you shall remain in the garden as God and Goddess of the Garden of Earthy Delights. Remain? Exclaimed Eve and Adam right behind her. Yes I said remain you rule this pantheon and you will accept offering to those who come to you and you will state what is accepted to receive in a place of an offering. So I suggest you two get this place made into a home.

What about her, exclaimed Eve? "I am going to deal with her", said the Tree Lord, Lady Snake since you like being a permant fixture around here, you will remain here into the wall of stones. WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she exclaimed you cant do that, I cant what said the Tree Lord. Well I uh I meant you just cant put me in that wall, well Guess what sweetheart see you in the wall, she cried NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! and she was placed in the wall of stones that consisted of Emerald, malachite, amber, orange carnelian, sapphire, rose quartz. Now we will see how she likes it there, and a whimper of a voice came from Lady Snake. I WANT OUT OF HERE!! Too bad now shut up and be quiet, take your punishment. What about food she exclaimed? Food said Adam have an apple since you like apples so much and tossed one into the wall. Now that Lady Snake wasn't a problem anymore, the Tree Lord bid the couple farewell and told the other herbs that in exchange for offerings of fertility, joy, happiness,rejuvenation and new beginnings. They would have to 1. Honor Adam and Eve as the god and goddess of the garden with respect and loyalty. 2. Do the service of tending to the garden and everything in their must be cared for. 3. Participate in all preparations of Beltaine. 4. There is to be no snakes in the garden they must rid the garden of snakes. 5. Not Eat the fruit of apples on the trees without permission from Adam or Eve. If these five things were done by each member as in exchange for offerings then they would be handsomely awarded for their offering exchanges.Now the moral of our tale is listen to what your being told or your consquences could land you in the garden of earthly delights for enternity or you wind up in a wall. Lady Snake Screaming , "SOMEONE LET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The End

Historical Trip on the Titanic

Written By ILA(Lisa)

Come back with me through time back to the guilded age and the birth and death of the titanic. This historical time line is our map through her birth, short life and her passing as we go on our trip, the story of Titanic takes a whole different turn through time at our hands. Picture it, Ireland 1908 Titanic was conceived and in 1909 she was constructed in Belfast, Ireland we are shipbuilders we worked day and night to build the newest luxury ship of the White Star Line. We were paid approximately 2 pounds and worked many hrs a week. We ate and slept in building Titanic. We lost a few workers among us in building this great ship which many said this was to be of an omen of some sort or a prophecy to her death.

In 1838 before Titanic was even built in the book Futility mentioned a prophetic message in the Wreck of the Titanic even 14 yrs before this ship was conceived her death was visualized and little did we know or aware her death would be true to that vision. Many had premonitions that signified that the ship was doomed from the get go like the numbers on titanic's hull was reversed in the water to state "no pope" meaning the ship was unholy or with negative energy.

It is now 1911 we are the crew of the Titanic, aboard our test voyage of the hull our test launch was successful which lasted eight hours. This proved to us that we were ready to set sail on our maiden launch and the birth of Titanic was now a full term ship. As a full time ship destine to set sail April 10, 1912, we are now passengers of the Titanic. From 9:30 to 11:30 as passengers we arrive in Southampton and board ship.

Our class is first class, we are representations of the Unsinkable Molly Brown, John Jacob Astor and His wife Madelyn Astor who is pregnant and 19, also his 2nd wife. Other first class members are Sir Duff Gordon and Lady Gordon and many other passengers. We are heading to New York arriving there on April 18th. As passengers we indulge in some of the finer things to offer us extraordinary meals, fine dancing, music to the listening ears even partaking in a Turkish bath. One of us meets up with a gentleman from third class and we become friends with him in the Edwardian time mixing of the rich and one of less means was unheard of. He is of an Irish descent heading to New York to start his life over and become a citizen of New York. Like many of the third class passengers were heading to America to start anew and they were the bread and butter of the white star line. As a holder of first class ticket meant we were of a standard of great wealth and luxury, some were even considered greedy. Especially the main priorter of the White Star Line Bruce Ismay.

His greed of the creation of the Titanic showed in every part of his character. He was a man of selfish needs and ego, forgetting the others and most of all wanting fame. His opposite was Thomas Andrews the designer of titanic was of a caring, compassionate, realistic and most of ideal. Titanic was to have 64 life boats on board but White Star Line refused to say it took away from the ship and limited view for first class passengers. So they settled with 16 lifeboats with 4 collapsible boats. This was to open the door to a startling revelation with 2,227 passengers on board and enough boats on board for HALF of Life.

The Ship's captain of our voyage was Captain EJ Smith, he had been in charge of the sister ship of the titanic before taking on Titanic. He was a man of great scruniity considering he had incident with the Olympic and the US HAWK military ship. The Olympic collided with the Hawk causing an accident with damage to both ships. None really knows why Bruce Ismay chose Captain Smith, perhaps it was due to his retirement and wanted Titanic to be his final crossing, indeed as history states this was indeed his final voyage. He introduced himself to us and from our introduction we liked him as much as his crew liked him. He was personable and very kind in nature, yet silent.

As the hand on the pocket watch striked Noon we departed from Southampton and we were on our voyage. Just as we were pulling out we almost struck the ship New York but a surge from Titanic's propeller pushed the New York away. Young woman traveling with her father stated that was a bad omen considering of the captain's past with other ships. The captain was reprimanded by Mr. Ismay but continued on with our voyage.

As were on our way, we sailed through calm waters, it was calm and energy was about the ship. Children were playing, we were partaking in the gym, or in a spot of tea in the tea room. This was to us a wonderful trip as we enjoy our day. We heard the sound of a bugle horn for dinner. As we headed up to our rooms we agree to meet in the dining room reception room. Upon reaching the first class dining saloon we entered and saw the beautiful grand staircase leading our way to our party awaiting in the reception room. Mesmerized we were taken back the extrodinary beauty by the astonshiment the staircase was leaving on our face and expressions of amazement.

There was a beautiful woman with bright red hair dressed in evening gown of black with long black gloves and a beautiful necklace of onyx. She was strong if not fiery like Molly Brown. She was very outspoken and she was the spokesperson of our group.

There was a woman dressed in the finest of Victorian wear, she wore a sleeveless gown made of gold satin with a train attached, she had her hair up with string of rhinestones intertwined through her hair. She wore a beautiful set of gloves with her gown she stood poised and well kept. Standing Next to her was a tall man he was dressed in a dinner tux, with a mustache and short trimmed hair. These were the Astors as we formally introduced.

Our group was dressed very lavishly and our personalities matched our outfits we sat at our table as the others and captain joined us for dinner this evening. As we dined we were not aware of what was about to happen the following evening, but we all seem to feel something that was unsettling. After dinner we all gathered on deck and we discussed the unsettling feeling we were having. Perhaps it was the karmatic events, or the negative energy of doom. Our Firey member mentioned perhaps we need to ground and center and see if we could come up on our vision of what this unsettled feeling was.

Just as we procceeded to work on this, one of our quiet members spoke up iceberg, the ship is going to strike an iceberg and sink. "Sink", as we exclaimed yes she is going to sink. Not a one of us panicked, however though we all knew what we had to do. The following the day on April 14th we were invited to partake on a tour of Titanic. We all agreed which gave us the oppruinty to really get to know the ship first hand. Our mentor advised us, to mentally feel things if we could if we felt like we could do something to silently do it without arousing suspicion or attention. As we procceded on our tour, the captian was handed a telegram and looks at our mentor states its an icefield warning. Not to worry he tells her, she quietly disbelieves him.

We continued on our tour, and taking watch of the time it was 6 hrs before Titanic was to sink. "What we do" exclaimed our uncertain member of the group, we are running out of time. Our Mentor stated it will happen when it does, right now focus on changing this event of sinking and directing the energy. It is now 11:40 p.m .The lookouts see an iceberg dead ahead. The iceberg strikes the Titanic on the starboard (right) side of her bow. Gathered up on deck we see the iceberg strike the bow, just then what we saw did not happen, as the ship tries to turn, we turn the ship to miss the berg. We all breathe a sigh of relief, as the crew members wipe their eyes looking at each other in confusion. I thought we hit one of them said , I did too or may have had to much burbon the night before. Contacting the captian, they explained what happend and he calls them down from the crows nest.

What did you see, he asks we saw the berg hit us on the starboard side striking us and then the next thing we saw us turn missing it completely. He turns to Officer Murdoch fetch Andrews immediately. As hes instructed he gets the master shipbuilder to inspect the compartments and boliler room #5 no damage he reports. Overhearing this we see what we done is a good thing but really shocking the crew. Our leader says nothing, motions us to remain silent. It is now April 15th, there are no lifeboats to be rescued everything is a complete calm and our voyage to New York continues.

We arrive in New York on April 18th, all of us silent pack our things and quietly depart from Titanic. All 2,227 passengers are safe and sound, and we pushed through the karma of the titanic's omens and misconceptions and we arrived to see the other side.
