Poppies
April 20, 2013
— #death, magic, poppies
Poppies have been cultivated since ancient times. Poppy seeds are used in magic as well as in cooking. They are associated with rest and remembrance. It was mythically created by Ceres while she was in search of Persephone, as a symbol of grief. Death and pleasure are symbolized by red poppies. The bees are very active on them, although red flowers are typically pollinated by hummingbirds. I think they are being sedated.

Sedated, indeed. Recall the poppies field in The Wizard of Oz.
