All right, now you probably are asking: “Why is she talking about Narcissus" on a blog that related to witchcraft”?
Well, I always loved Greek Mythology, always, since I was a little girl, I was always truly fascinated with all those stories, characters, and etc., and after watching Xena and Hercules, this interest and love only got stronger.
I want to bring new things to my blog, of course I will keep posting about witchcraft and adding links and sources, but I also want to explore how far I can go, turn this blog into someone more about me, that’s why I am posting about this!
Narcissus, I remember well, it was one of the first stories that I read, I don’t remember well my age, but I remember the story and remembered the flower as well.

Narcissus or Narkissos (Greek: Νάρκισσος), possibly derived from ναρκη (narke) meaning "sleep, numbness," in Greek mythology was a hunter from the territory of Thespiae in Boeotia who was renowned for his beauty. He was the son of a river god named Cephissus and a nymph named Liriope.
He was exceptionally proud, in that he disdained those who loved him. Nemesis saw this and attracted Narcissus to a pool where he saw his own reflection in the water and fell in love with it, not realizing it was merely an image. Unable to leave the beauty of his reflection, Narcissus died.Narcissus is the origin of the term narcissism, a fixation with oneself.
Such fascinating story, of course we don’t find people who would react like Narcissus reacted, but we find many people like him nowadays, people who think they are the best and the others can’t reach their feet… I could name one of them: Paris Hilton!
