She is welcoming to any visitor and treats others with respect. -However, rudeness and constant egging on will cause the goddess to become hostile. The harshness of it will depend on the level of the torment. -She is sometimes self-conscience about her antlers, since they sometimes get in the way or get caught into things. -Although she is not anti-social, she does enjoy some alone time every once in a while. -She enjoys the company of children and young creatures, which triggers her motherly instincts. -She routinely bathes under the waterfall near her home every morning. -Uses hummingbirds to send messages to other parts of her game ... or to other worlds. -Even though she's a hunter, she seldom does so. Only to help prepare meals for special celebrations or gatherings. -She usually hunts boar and wild fowl. -She cares for and respects all creatures in her forest, especially deer. -She shares her territory with other forest deities and beings (both good and bad) like centaurs, fauns, dryads, and trolls. -She enjoys making fine wines on the side from the fruits in her orchard (apples, pomegranate, grapes, and elderberry) -On rare occasions, she will hunt alongside her seven spectral hounds (each with it's own color on the color spectrum). *The pic on my profile was NOT made by me.

Alright, gun, bullets, crossbow bolts, crossbow,  arrows, long bow…all that was here and packed up, getting ready to head out and spend the day practicing, stretching as he did so. “This should be fun~”

[artemistheforestgoddess]

She had been walking steadily through the thick brush at the edge of a large open field. Her mostly green coloring and bare branch like antlers kept her partly hidden among the foliage that now sported the shades of autumn. The fauntaur kept her keen eyes upwards, spying a flock of geese as they were about to fly over her way.

Her own customized bow at the ready, she set it up and drew the string back as the flock came closer to her position.

Teas 101: Tea Magic and Potion Crafting

**First off, I want to let you all know that the source of this post is found here and belongs to the owner**

I want to clarify some terms as how I will use them, and how you can use them when talking in detail about tea to avoid being ambiguous or confusing:

Tea - This is reference to the actual tea plant (Camellia sinensis). This can reference the plant itself, the processed plant/herb (what is brewed to make a drink), or a drink made from brewing it. All of this is ‘tea.‘  Infusion - The act of using hot water to pull oils &c from ingredients into the water. Creates broths, teas, etc. This word can also refer to the actual broth/tea/drink/potion. Herbal tea - Anything brewed in the same method as you would brew the tea plant to make tea, but not actually made with the tea plant. Because of this discrepancy, I like to refer to these drinks as ‘infusions’ and not 'teas’ or 'herbal teas’ because they are, by definition, not exactly 'tea.’ (It’s a lot like calling a spider a 'bug’ – and since I’m trying to talk specifically about tea, I’d rather not use confusing or ambiguous language). Flavored tea - Mixing tea leaves with other ingredients. For example, putting some dried strawberries into your tea leaves then brewing it to make a strawberry tea. This is a flavored tea. Scented tea - Tea leaves that have absorbed the oils of other plants, usually by a process of 'bathing’ the leaves in them. For example, to create most jasmine tea, jasmine leaves are placed over the tea leaves, and left to sit. The leaves absorb the jasmine oils and then the tea leaves contain both the jasmine and tea oils, releasing both when infused. Processing - When referring to tea, processing does not mean injecting with chemicals and trudged through a factory. Processing refers to the actions done to tea before it is brewed. For example, what makes black tea is the process of fermentation – the leaves sit and then are fired/fried/etc. to stop the fermentation. Whereas a tea like white tea is steamed as soon as it is picked so it does not ferment. The exact process (hence the word!) that is used is referenced by the tea’s processing, or how it is 'processed.’ So when someone says black tea is more processed than green tea, it doesn’t mean modified by chemicals or something like that. CLASSIFICATIONS & METAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES Tea can be classified into 'classes,’ 'groups,’ or 'grades’ depending on when it is picked, how it is processed, etc. It is all the exact same plant, just grown, raised, picked, processed, etc. in different ways  In general, the tea plant is said to have a fire affinity. However, in its time, before drinking, tea is greatly exposed to and empowered by all four elements.

In general, there are four, though many of these four classes can be broken down. Tea processing has also become more advanced so even more kinds of teas are made, and groups have been broken down even further. For drinking, selling, etc., you may want to use all of these extended definitions, but for magical purposes and potion-crafting, you don’t need to worry about why there are 23502938598 names for classes of tea. Of course, where a tea is grown and exactly how it is processed is important, but you only need to 'lump’ them into four main groups for basic correspondences. The four main classes of tea can be viewed as relating to the cycles of the moon and the wheel of the year. I will explain with each of the four types, starting with white tea: White Tea - White tea is the least processed of teas. It is picked when the leaves are very young buds. Because it can only be picked during this 'baby’ stage, it is quite rare. Because it is picked during the 'early’ phase and is still growing, we can see its relation to the spring season. It is a masculine tea with an air affinity, and the strongest connection to the moon. White teas are very pure, so they are great for purification and protection. They also relate with clarity, realization, meditation, cleansing, and connection to the Goddess or spirits. You can easily see this in their look (the tea will be very clear and lightly-colored). They are also a tea of new beginnings. Associated colors are white, silver, and yellow. Green Tea - Green tea is more processed than white tea, and is picked later as well. However, it’s not as aged as other teas, making it still a very 'youthful’ tea. There are many varieties. Green tea inspires many cultures, and has led to much passion. Naturally, this is because green tea is a masculine tea with a fire affinity, and a tea of summer. It is also a tea of physical healing. Green tea is also great for the conscious mind, passions, sexual health and magic, energy, and love. It’s a tea of progress and moving forward. Associated colors are red, blue, and green. (I know, weird.) Oolong Tea - Oolong is when tea is no longer youthful, but processed enough that it is starting to ferment. We can see this in the autumn season as well (when oolong tea happens to taste the best, too!) Oolong is a feminine tea of the water affinity, and is a tea of reflection. It is a tea of meditation, wisdom, and deep concentration. It is a tea of romance and beauty, feelings and friendship. It is a very calming and soothing tea, and has a very interesting taste. It also is good for digestion and breaking down foods – it is a mealtime tea. Associated colors are blue, brown, and purple. Black Tea - Black tea is the most fermented ad processed of all teas. At this point, the tea gets shriveled and black in color, sometimes with “golden” tips (called 'tippy’ teas). It no longer looks like the tea plant at all. This relates to the winter season. Black tea is a feminine tea with the earth affinity. Perhaps this is why it has such a rich, earthy taste. It is a tea of nature, a tea of strength and stability. It is also a tea of endings, a tea of death, a tea of closing. Because of this, it’s good for expelling and removing unwanted or negative energies. Associated colors are black, green, and orange.

Reblog if you want a "why are you so..." in your ask.

[artemistheforestgoddess]

The goddess shut her twilight colored doe eyes and nodded her great antlered head in understanding. “Very well, then .. And there is no need to be so formal around me. I am Artemis, the guardian of this territory”.

[thehighclassbadass-deactivated2]

“Yes Miss, I know who you are..”He said and smiled softly.. “I do not mean to trespass..”

[artemistheforestgoddess]

She blinked and hummed with slight surprise. “I must say .. It’s not very often I come across a human who knows of me .. Nor one that even believes of my existence. You truly are a very special one, my dear” the deity said in her normal calm and motherly tone.

[thehighclassbadass-deactivated2]

“Oh no, No miss I’m nothing special, but I am a devote of Hircine, and I am aware of other deities of my  livelihood “He said and smiled softly, “It is an honor to be in the presence of a patron of the hunt”

[artemistheforestgoddess]

She couldn’t help but smile lightly at this stranger’s humbleness. “Hircine! .. If memory serves me correctly .. That is the werewolf, is it not?” the cervine bodied goddess inquired with some uncertainty. She personally hoped not to offend him in any way if she remembered wrong. “And that is a very lovely quiver that you carry with you” she commented as her doe eyes glazed over the arrows he had.
