  1. Spotted these #cinnabar moth #caterpillars having a feud over food in the garden this lunchtime.

    FWIW ... Yes ... There are no domestic pets in my household. No sheep nor horses come into my garden. And ... I know about ragwort being toxic.

  2. So I was having a really bad day thinking about how basically my Goth garden got completely overtaken by volunteer weeds…. And this little Cinnabar moth caterpillar was here to make me feel better about having ragwort everywhere! #Gardening #Cinnabar #Moth

  4. Cinnabar jewelry has always fascinated me because of its deep red color and strong symbolism in Feng Shui. Many people worry about toxicity, but polished cinnabar is generally considered safe to wear since the mercury is chemically bonded in a stable form. Beyond the science, it’s often seen as a symbol of protection, confidence, and attracting abundance. I also love how it carries both ancient cultural meaning and modern spiritual appeal.

  5. Cinnabar Pixiu is one of the most fascinating Feng Shui symbols I’ve come across.
    The combination of deep red cinnabar and the Pixiu “money beast” is believed to attract wealth while protecting against negative energy. I also find the traditions around wearing it interesting — especially the idea of wearing it on the left hand to receive luck and abundance.

  6. CW: AI, non vegan and bird unfriendly

    A great deal of #AI is just mixing the #goose feed with #cinnabar and #orpiment in the hope the bird lays golden eggs (as some form of magic / alchemy) , and when it subsequently keels over then serving it up for dinner, so *everyone* who sits at the table gets slowly poisoned..

  8. how about a #MacroMonday #MineralMonday photostack?

    this came to me as unlabeled cutting rough, I've tentatively ID'd as Cinnabar on Dolomite & won't be cutting it

  10. From my lunch time walk, a #Cinnabar #Moth clinging to a stalk alongside Bawsey Drain (this picture has been rotated 90 degrees to maximize the presence of the moth).

  14. Just a safety note: CINNABAR is toxic (it's an ore of mercury) -- some of the oldest cases of mecury poisoning were from the use of cinnabar, 5000 years ago. smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/ #cinnabar #mercury #toxicity
