The Poisonous Bride: Marie Lafarge
Fabled Collective
02/12/21 • 9 min
The story of Marie Lafarge reads like a gothic novel. A well-bred, attractive woman living in a mansion in the country, married to a man she doesn't love, sounds like a tale we'd all like to read. And read, people did. Her case was one of the first trials to be followed by the public through newspapers. She was the first person to largely be convicted due to direct forensic and toxicology evidence.

William Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily"
Fabled Collective
02/10/21 • 7 min
William Faulkner chooses an interesting title for his story about a woman confined to her past. The story is filled with many symbolic references, but none as interesting as its title. “A Rose for Emily” allows us to explore what the upcoming events may entail. The title symbolizes Emily’s superiority to the town, her choice of seclusion, and the ultimate fall of her sanity and life.
Though a rose may have its bloom, it still has its thorns.

Our ancestors lived in perilous times, not knowing what would happen from one day to the next. They faced sickness, death, and suffering—the likes of which we can only imagine today. One of the only ways they found to protect themselves was through rituals, the practice of doing things in a particular order. In the same way, certain practices became superstitions—a belief that doing things in a specific fashion would lead to either a positive or ill-fated result.
These superstitions have passed on from generation to generation, sometimes for centuries, through word of mouth and folklore. They have become ingrained in our cultures, in our personal mythologies. We often don't even question where they came from or why exactly we practice them.
Or perhaps you aren't a subscriber of superstitions, having chosen to allow the scientific and rational thinking of the era we live in to override those "old wives tales" that belong to a different time in history.
Either way, their background is fascinating. And you may find yourself saying... Well, just in case.

Let's do some dreamwork, shall we? Last night, I dreamed I was listening to a song—an obscure one I’d never heard before—when a total stranger began singing the exact same lyrics at the exact same moment.
He couldn’t hear the phone. He just felt compelled.
I believe it was a message from the Universe/God/Source. A sign of alignment. A soul song passed through generations.

Ten Days in a Madhouse
Fabled Collective
05/07/20 • 22 min
Nellie Bly, known for her book Ten Days in a Madhouse, was born in 1864 just outside of Pittsburgh. She would become a true suffragette and leader in women's voices. Nellie grew up living a typical life of domestic womanhood like many in those days, but she had a voice that needed to be heard. In 1885, she wrote to the Pittsburg Dispatch, going against an article that said the only purpose for women was to clean house and take care of children and that they had no business working outside the home. In her letter, she evoked a woman's God-given abilities to work and do other jobs well, despite what society thought. Her passionate rebuke landed her a job with the Dispatch for $5 a week. But women weren't respected in journalism. Women were allowed to write about food, gardening, household topics, and fashion. But Nellie wanted to be a real journalist. This is her fascinating story.
