RAMBLING LIKE A MAD PERSON ABOUT HIM SO UH THIS IS MY LIFE NOW I GUESS.
anyway i'm just compiling thoughts from what myself + others have taken from the demo. i'll link to posts where i can for stuff i didn't think of originally myself.
so i reblogged this post that goes into the triple moon & the high priestess in tarot & the ouroboros & the white lilies. the takeaway is mostly lots of symbols of femininity & rebirth.
i have. a thought. abt that one which i might come back to later.
source. the first result on google speaks for itself. the bloodhounds already show leander undying loyalty and don't question him.
so there's the tale of hero & leander, wiki for tldr, in which he drowns trying to get to her during a storm. important things to note are that she is a priestess of aphrodite, which ties into the previously linked post detailing the three moons / three goddesses and the high priestess.
there is also the oleander flower which, after reading this gives me the biggest :thinking: vibes ever. mc pls don't do the stupid thing i'm begging <3
i actually saw a tiktok about this phrase the other day but can't find it for the life of me so i'll link it here if ever i see it again.
but anyway i won't go into its origins or anything but it is interesting that it is attributed to the emerald tablet, a hermetic text. there's a lot of ancient greek & egyptian symbolism in this bad boy.
his eyes are green. his magic is green. the bloodhound cloaks are green. shoutout to the previous point being called the emerald tablet btw. the colour green is often associated with nature and growth, renewal, rebirth etc. it can also be associated with jealousy or envy.
green is also the colour of the heart chakra which is in the middle of the chest and represents love & interpersonal connections. the heart chakra also ties with the repeating idea of unconditional love.
