The edelweiss (Leontopodium alpinum) is a little, star-shaped flower with white, velvety leaves native to the Alps, growing high up on the line of perpetual snow, in nearly inaccessible rock crevices.
Its German name Edelweiss means white jewel.
In Alpine countries the gathering of edelweiss is considered an act of daring and a bunch of these flowers brought back from the mountains to a lovely maiden is highly valued by her as proof of the true devotion of her lover.
Edelweiss is worn on their hats by mountain climbers, Alpine guides and chamois hunters as a symbol of Alpine achievement.
The Edelweiss is the national flower emblem of Switzerland.

Today the Blumlis Alp is a high mountain in the Bernese Oberland covered with glaciers.

On dark stormy nights, lamentations and deep bellowings are still said to be heard, high up among the glaciers.

Alpine cow Brandy gallops wildly by over the snows with fiery nostrils, and with her udder frozen and pierced with sharp thorns.

And out of the depths comes a hollow and awful cry:

“I and my dog and cow and my fair bride must stay forever on the Blumis Mountain-side”

(Excerpt from the Swiss Alpine folktale “The Alp that disappeared”)

When all the world would have a matter hid,
Since truths is seldom friend to any crowd,
Men write in fable, as old Aesop did,
Jesting at that which none will name aloud.
All this they needs must do, or it will fall;
Unless they please, they are not heard at all.

(Excerpt from “The Fabulists” by Rudyard Kipling)

Pirates, Outlaws, Rebels, Reivers & Rogues.

Because why hold any allegiance and respect for corrupt Monarchs, self-serving Governments, lying Churches, an oppressive alien ruling class, a controlling State, and rules and expectations that apply only to you.

Time to change our mindsets and morality. Loyalty only to our own and freedom at any cost.
