The Erl-King lives by himself all alone in the heart of the wood in a house which has only the one room. His house is made of sticks and stones and has grown a pelt of yellow lichen."

In Czech and Slovak folklore, vodník is a male water spirit. He looks human and can survive outside water if his clothes are wet. He tricks and drowns people, then keeps their souls in teacups underwater. Vodník is also the main character in one of the ballads by Karel Jaromír Erben.

I got another copy of Frankenstein, quite fitting for today, and now I'm eagerly waiting for October. :)

And so I dream of going back to be.
It's when I'm weary of considerations,
And life is too much like a pathless wood"

With sweet musk-roses, and with eglantine.
There sleeps Titania sometime of the night,
Lull’d in these flowers with dances and delight…"

In Czech folk tradition, it's believed that the herbs collected during Midsummer Night have magical powers. They heal, protect, and they can also spark love. Each region has their nine favourite herbs for this time, but St. John's wort is popular everywhere.

I really feel quite sorry for mankind;
Tormenting them myself’s no fun, I find.”

“Sometimes the desire to be lost again, as long ago, comes over me like a vapor. With growth into adulthood, responsibilities claimed me...
Now in the spring I kneel, I put my face into the packets of violets, the dampness, the freshness, the sense of ever-ness.”
― Mary Oliver
