Legumoria: The Enchanted Realm Where Beans and Peas Hold the Secrets of the Gods
Discovering the Mythical Powers of Legumes
In the dawn of time, when the Earth was young and the skies were still painted with the brushstrokes of creation, there existed a mystical realm known only to the wisest of sages: Legumoria, the Fabled Kingdom of Legumes. In this enchanted land, the humble legume, often overlooked, was a source of both nourishment and magic.
At the heart of Legumoria lay a majestic garden, where fields of beans, peas, lentils and chickpeas stretched as far as the eye could see. The air was rich with earthy perfumes and the soil, blessed by the gods, yielded crops of unparalleled vitality. Each legume was a gift from celestial beings, offering sustenance to nourish both body and soul.

The guardian of this verdant paradise was the ancient and wise Legumon, a being with the form of both human and plant. With arms like vines and eyes deep as wells, Legumon tended the crops with eternal vigilance, coaxing seeds to grow with a voice that could summon life from the soil.
Legumoria was more than an agricultural utopia; it was a land of legend. Each type of bean had unique powers: Kidney Beans granted strength, Lentils bestowed wisdom, Chickpeas inspired creativity and Peas healed and restored vitality. In the kingdom’s center stood the Grand Legume Tree, its pods promising health and prosperity. Here, the immortal gardeners and sages gathered for the Great Harvest Festival, celebrating and offering their bounty to the deities.

Legend has it that Legumoria’s enchanted seeds were scattered across the lands, carried by winds and waters into the mortal world. Those who discovered and nurtured these seeds would be blessed with the virtues they embodied.
As the seeds journeyed through forests, over mountains, and across oceans, they sought out fertile soil and kind-hearted souls who would recognize their hidden power. Each seed was a beacon of the virtues cherished by the people of Legumoria: strength, wisdom, creativity, and vitality. Those fortunate enough to encounter these seeds were believed to be chosen by the ancient guardians of the kingdom.

Once these seeds found their way into the hands of the mortals, it was said that their true magic began to unfold. The ones who discovered and carefully nurtured these seeds were gifted with the very qualities they embodied. Planting a Kidney Bean, for instance, could bestow extraordinary strength and resilience, aiding those in their daily struggles and adventures. Cultivating Lentils might grant the cultivator profound wisdom and clarity of thought, helping them solve complex problems and make enlightened decisions. Growing Chickpeas could spark bursts of creativity and joy, enriching artistic endeavors and brightening the spirit. And tending to Peas was believed to restore vitality and heal the body, offering rejuvenation and well-being.
Thus, while the magic of Legumoria might seem distant, the legume remains a profound gift. Each time we plant a seed or enjoy a dish of beans or lentils, we connect with the mythical realm and honor the timeless wisdom of Legumon. So next time you savor a legume, remember the enchanted kingdom from whence it came and the magic within each bite.

Old Red Cedar
Western red cedar, over 1000 years old, you grew for 200 years and towered over others, silently observing sights in the forest that are no more, your secrets buried within your spirit. The bark covering your tree trunk, said to be about 23 feet around, was hollow when men discovered you. Inside the hollow trunk, a fire somehow began; you cannot tell us when, how, or why, and there is no record of it. The fire caused your death. Slowly, you died, from the inside out. Such a sad loss for an old soul of the forest, with centuries of knowledge in its cells. Houses, watercraft, shingles, bowls, bows and arrows, and paper that men used to write what they knew of your history could have been made from your body, branches, and bark. Truly, fire was a better death for you than a logger’s saw.
