Horcrux (n)
Pronunciation: hor-kruhks
Definition: a part of a soul that has been split from the
primary soul allowing several opportunities for the person to live if a horcrux
is removed or destroyed.
I believe in the power of
connection,
energy,
Karma
and, as such,
a possession,
particularly one of significance,
created specifically,
thoughtfully, and
lovingly
can absorb a part of one’s soul.
We see this all the time.
For good or bad,
a house absorbs the energy of the family who lives there.
The energy can be felt if one is attuned.
A sweater, pillow, or blanket
becomes more than a mere inanimate object
and can provide comfort above and beyond that of mere fabric.
For better or worse,
the symbolism of a ring, properly honored,
takes on a piece of the wearer’s soul.
All of this is well and good,
to the extent the energy around them stays well and good,
but houses burn down, destroying the once beloved homes,
over time sweaters, pillows, and blankets wear out and lose their
luster
becoming ragged until they dwindle to nothing,
rings, once given, are repossessed
and a piece of the one who held the home, the blanket, or the ring in her heart
is forever lost.
It makes one question the wisdom
in allowing oneself to become too attached.
