Nymah (nih.MAH)
Nymah is one of the seven Sun Trees of Sleigh Aisling, located in the northwestern corner of that land, in the region of Egregi. Her physical form is that of a titanic, sky-touching maple tree, with a multitude of thick trunks and a vast canopy.
Nymah, emotions of life sweet and sour
Fertile fire, know my intimate depths of desire
Mother nature, guiding time's organic flow
Nurture these precious gifts you bear
to let me prosper through your prolific powerSuperlative resplendent flower
Help me release any blame and forgive
I align my focus on how I want to live
Allow all feelings to come and go
-from the Song of the Trees, original author unknown
Divine Domains
Nymah is the fun and frisky spirit of happiness, joy, bliss, intimacy, sex, fertility, passion, harvest, playfulness, and abundance.
Holidays
The Harvest Festival
The year's first harvest is considered sacred to Nymah, and is celebrated throughout Sleigh Aisling as a month-long Harvest Festival. During this time, in addition to gathering in the first fruits and grains of the season, the Aisling take the opportunity to beautify their settlements and homes, planting new gardens, tidying and improving upon existing ones, and seeing to repairs and maintenance of any things that have become worn or damaged.
Coming of Age
As Nymah is the spirit of sex and fertility, among other domains, it is a common rite of passage in Sleigh Aisling for young Aisling coming of age to have their first "experience" with her. To facilitate this, she is capable of manifesting herself in either a female or male human form, though her nature is inherently feminine. In this way, young Aisling are able to experience sexuality for the first time with a partner who will see into their very soul, teaching, guiding, and preparing them for intimacy and romance.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Her permanent physical form is a colossal maple tree, but like all the Sun Trees, Nymah has both a human and animal avatar with which she interacts with those near enough.
In her human form, the tree of life, love, and fertility is a voluptuous, beautiful woman with bouncing blonde curls, bright violet eyes, and full, pouty lips generally curving in a smile (though this can differ; see Coming of Age, above).
Her animal form is that of a large, fluffy lop rabbit.
Nymah's Garden
Built in the shadow of the great maple tree, the Aisling city of Eire was the first major settlement built after the arrival of the Sun Trees early in The Godswar, and in the modern era, is sacred to Nymah herself. Aisling come from far and wide to bask in her presence, particularly during the month-long Harvest Festival, during which the city's temporary population is known to more than triple.
I like the Song of the Trees - very nice!
I will communicate your compliment to my wife; she wrote the Song and is responsible for the creation of most of Sleigh Aisling :)
