Myrrhae

Myrrha to the Source
by Heather Mchugh
O fluent one, o muscle full of hydrogen, 
o stuff of grief,
whom the Greeks 
accuse of spoiling souls,
whose destiny is downward, 
whose reflecting's up—
I think 
I must have come from you.
Just one more cup.

In addition to being the spirits of olive trees, these Glade Children symbolize the benefits of peace. Myrrhae are the spiritual representation of the fruit borne by trying to solve disputes rationally and peacefully instead of through violence. They are spirits of plenty and abundance. They represent the long process and great patience with a commitment to peace requires in the 20 years an olive tree needs in which to mature.
In Greek mythology, Myrrha was a beautiful girl who fell in love with her father and tricked him into an incestuous relationship. She turned in to a myrrh tree as she fled from her father when the truth of her identity was revealed. Her father then killed himself and in her grief and shame, Myrrha cried out to the gods and was turned into a tree from which a son, Adonis, was born nine months later.

Ban & Flaw: As a spirit of fertility and peace, Myrrhae abhors wanton violence and will abandon any Garou or pack that uses a "scorched earth" tactic to achieve an objective.
