Do you think that the bird charm/sexy weird gift made by Raelle herself? There's no she purchased it through online. 😂And, I want to hear your opinion about the meaning of the gift. Some says that the symbol is for protection.
Raelle, being the useless lesbian that she is, read the entire Codices Byron gave her after Beltane. At first she laughed it off and dismissed it, then picked it up again and had to admit that making your gf a gift that captured her sexy weirdness was actually A+ advice. So Raelle went out, found a dead bird, and made Scylla the “Corsage” as a reminder of the beautiful moment they shared in the graveyard when Scylla was teaching her about death (also a dead thing for her Special Necro is just on point adorably cute). I’m pretty sure that was also the moment Raelle started to fall in love and because she was still too nervous to say “I love you” in episode 5, this was Raelle’s way of physically conveying her love even though she lacked the courage to say the words.
I say “Corsage” because that’s what they called it in the show, but I am on team this is really a combat charm and here’s why. Scylla’s parents are dead; she never received a combat charm from her mother to keep her safe in war. There is no Ramshorn family heirloom to be passed down from mother to daughter. These are obviously a big deal in the MFS universe because Tally’s mom, though disapproving of her daughter’s choice to join the military willingly, still makes and sends her a combat charm to keep her safe.
Someone somewhere last week pointed out that the symbol on the charm is an Algiz, and it is. An Algiz is the rune symbol for protection. This would therefore add to the theory that this is more of a combat charm than a simple “Corsage”.
It also looks as though Tally’s charm incorporates an Algiz along with potentially (I’m no rune expert so someone confirm) the symbols for Earth (representing stability, home, strength) and Kalc (Representing chalice and offering), which (if true) would literally represent Momma Craven offering Tally a source of protection and strength from her home/family. Which is pretty beautiful.
Also, for all you Earpers out there, the Algiz may look familiar…
And this is what really hits me in the gut. Because Raelle was making her a combat charm to keep her safe and the implications it has about family. Because of what Raelle learns about Scylla’s family during Beltane, and because of her coming to terms with her feelings and saying “No matter what happens, I’m with you”, her gifting this to Scylla is Raelle saying “I am your family, I care if you live or die, I am going to keep you safe and I won’t leave you.” Scylla’s parents are dead, but Raelle is now her family. I bet we’re going to see this come up again in the future.
