Tale of Adam Root and Eve Root
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
One song can spark a moment,
One flower can wake the dream.
One tree can start a forest,
One bird can herald spring.
One smile begins a friendship,
One handclasp lifts a soul.
One star can guide a ship at sea,
One word can frame the goal.
One vote can change a nation,
One sunbeam lights a room.
One candle wipes out darkness,
One laugh will conquer gloom.
One step must start each journey,
One word must start each prayer.
One hope will raise our spirits,
One touch can show you care.
One voice can speak with wisdom,
One life can make the difference,
You see, its up to you!
