Cactus🌵🌺
for those who have Cactus in their house or wish to have one You should keep in mind that there are certain types of Cacti that are better to have outside the house, for example: those types of cacti that are very large and have large spikes. since on the spiritual side spiked plants are generally used for defensive "magic" and in closed spaces this can cause fights and arguments in your home. It is best to have a small cactus with not very large spikes for the interior of your home. I want to clarify that this applies to other types of plants that are also pointed. image:desertgardencare
NORDRI, SUDRI, AUSTRI AND VESTRI
In Norse mythology, Norðri, Suðri, Austri, and Vestri (North, South, East, and West) were four dwarves mentioned in Gylfaginning in the Prose Edda. Each of these dwarves held one of the four compass directions. Together, they held up the vault of heaven, created from the skull of the primeval jotun Ymir. They probably also represented the four winds, thus corresponding to the four deer of the cosmic tree Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr and Duraþrór, which grazed under the branches of Yggdrasil. The myth is comparable to that of the four giants who personified the four winds in Greek mythology

About fairies (Art: by Brian Froud)
fairies are metaphysical and symbolic beings.
In Animism it is believed that any natural element has life, soul and consciousness of its own.
It could be said that one of them are the fairies that are energy found in any natural element and that can also be manifested through it, they do not have a specific physical form but they can take a certain physical form
more specifically that of humanoid since generally this is how we usually associate them in that way by representations in art and folk tales and take the form of what we are famerialized with, which in this case is how we see them or (persist).
Are they good or bad? many believe that there are fairies or Faery beings who are: good and others who are bad.
others: that in reality they are neither good nor bad, rather they have no reasoning that it is good or bad, or rather that they do not know how to differentiate between what is good and what is bad
just like nature which is where they come from.
for some others: they tend to be temperamental so they should be treated with respect and not offend if they are so, they will play practical jokes on you and can "steal" and hide your things or even "reverse" "luck".
the Faerie world and the world of the dead: Fairies are seriously believed to be the spirits of the dead, fairies were dead people, perhaps sometimes dating back to pre-Christian times, and that the land of fairies was a transcendent land of the dead, which, in special circumstances , it could be penetrated by the living.
An ingrained tradition is that fairies are the dead pagans (or perhaps post-Purgatory Christians not good enough for heaven but too good for hell), living in a world of limbo, occasionally coinciding with our own. A story that captures this idea well was compiled by folklorist William Bottrell in Cornwall in the early 1870s.
the fairies taboo :The taboo of fairies are restrictions or prohibitions that are set by fairies and that if they are broken have consequences and These consequences are almost always (although not exclusively) harmful for the human protagonists of the stories.
How to protect yourself from fairies that only want to do harm?putting iron horseshoes since they are believed to protect and ward off evil and it is also believed that it burns and drives away fairies. I want to make it clear that all the information not only refers only to fairies, it also refers to all beings related to fairies such as: elves, nogmos, etc, etc, etc.
