Fairy World's ~ 'Paracelsuus'

Copyright 2013/2024 Michael Angell Studios

Totemic. Can be an alter-totem, talisman. Laden with a lot of care and lore.

Before it was transferred into a name, Paracelsus was spelled with an extra ‘u.' Its origin is Sprite-founded, i.e., the Fairy World. Originally Paracelsuus was a species, not a name. They are a type of guardian of the Prairie and Meadow Sprites who gather and keep watch over the crossover fields of Life and Death, erasing the footprints of angels and sometimes converting the impressions into ground-spas and sweat lodges. The container at its feet belongs to a Gatherer-Sprite; it has been left there for safe keeping since the baskets themselves take five years to grow from seed to a mature and useful thing.

The Paracelsuus is a go-between in the arena of ‘pointing the finger’ and ‘contradictions,’ they are recorders of The Unrecorded Truth of the Matter, angelic secretaries of sorts. They record the missed and lost secrets of the physical world-sphere of mortals, their instances of blaming, condemnations, consciences and unsung feelings.

A living forefinger sprouts from their heads, indicating the race of planetary being they are assigned to. The forefinger is a sort of antennae and transmitting device, touching it to an angel’s fingertip, the angel receives the finer details it needs to know. They have three pairs of eyes, also aligned with specific totems of their assigned planet or solar system, this one is equipped with badger, snail and crab eyes.

They travel by way of floating in their turtle shells via flood, monsoon, tornado or hurricane and affix themselves like barnacles to various rugged surfaces; they are also transplanted by the Sprites themselves (if) the Sprite is qualified to do so since it takes a skilled eye and hands. Only with a specially hewn diamond spade can they be removed from their surfaces without damaging their more subtle connections/roots.

The bronze has been archivally sealed and will not tarnish.
