wolf505: one messed up chick. which of the forsaken aren't messed up? also if you read her arguement to rand in tSR, she is trying to convince rand to her side, her and rand's rule of the world would begin with "kneel, but once before" DO. all the forsaken are selfish, self-aggrandizing, etc. If she hit rock bottom, why was it off-screen? doing nothing doesn't seem as bad as fouling up like greandel did, doesn't moggy just sit and wait for the right moment to strike?

 

pillars give Aiel a way back to the way of the leaf.

Any chance the Tree of Life is supposed to  (also) be a close/direct analog with any certain special plants? Special to humans because they have special properties... special powers?? Or in combination with the Green Man?

 

A few spring to mind: fungi, heavenly plants, cacti, folded trees... many plants & the like have been sacred to humans throughout the ages, or used by priests, shamans, medicine men, etc.

I've always taken it as a Biblical reference.
