Eating grass
#1
This is going here because on this day in 2025 the fey folk are aliens. Recently a DI member blessed me with the power of memory, so now DI will get my memories  Tongue

One such memory is eating grass, it tasting really good and my mothers reaction to it.
==============================================

The image of children eating grass carries multiple esoteric, mythological, and folkloric connotations across different cultures. Here are a few interpretations:

1. Biblical and Esoteric Christian Symbolism
  • In the Book of Daniel (4:25-34), King Nebuchadnezzar is cursed to wander in the wilderness, eating grass like an ox for seven years as a form of divine punishment and humility.
  • This transformation can symbolize the loss of reason, spiritual purification, or the regression to a primal state before renewal.
  • In a mystical sense, grass-eating can represent surrender to divine will, an act of becoming one with nature, or the stripping away of material illusions.
2. Folkloric and Mythological Associations
  • In many folk traditions, particularly in European and Slavic lore, fairy changelings—children swapped by supernatural beings (often fae or spirits)—might behave oddly, including eating non-food substances like grass, dirt, or ash.
  • Some tales say that if a child eats grass excessively, they may be under an enchantment or have been replaced by a changeling.
  • In Scottish and Irish mythology, the Sidhe (fairy folk) are often associated with liminal, wild spaces where children might consume grass under their influence.
3. Shamanic and Animistic Perspectives
  • In shamanic traditions, mimicking animal behaviors (like eating grass) can be seen as an initiation or transformation process, allowing the individual to commune with animal spirits.
  • Some indigenous perspectives view grass-eating as a sign that a child is particularly attuned to nature spirits or has an ancestral connection to beings that once lived closely with the land.
4. Eastern Philosophical and Mystical Angles
  • In Taoist thought, nature is revered, and the idea of children eating grass might be viewed as an act of returning to the Dao (道), or the natural way.
  • Buddhist symbolism could interpret this act as a lesson in impermanence or non-attachment, where even the mundane (grass) becomes sustenance if one is in harmony with the universe.
5. Occult and Alchemical Readings
  • In alchemy, the concept of transformation and regression to an unrefined state before enlightenment is common. Grass-eating may symbolize a "return to the raw material" before the soul undergoes purification.
  • Some medieval grimoires mention unusual eating habits (including earth, flowers, or raw plants) as signs of possession, enchantment, or a latent mystical ability.
6. Psychological and Metaphysical Interpretations
  • In esoteric psychology, behaviors like eating grass may symbolize a yearning for grounding, a subconscious attempt to reconnect with the Earth, or even a suppressed memory of past lives as an animal.
  • Some paranormal researchers have linked odd dietary habits to walk-ins, spirits attempting to influence a child’s body or consciousness.
The most difficult mental process of all is to consider objectively any concept which, if accepted as fact, will toss into discard a lifetime of training and experience.

Say in your mind, say to yourself:

I am more than my physical body. Because I am more than physical matter, I can perceive that which is greater than the physical world.
