CONCEPTUAL KEY

Milk

  • Symbol of ambulance, fertility and immortality;

  • According to an Icelandic legend, a druid advised his king to pour milk over the wounds of his soldiers after they were shot by poisoned arrows from their enemies (healing properties);

  • Symbol of life and knowledge;

Nectar (along with Ambrosia) was the food of the gods. Reserved only for the Olympians, they were coveted by mortals.

This image emphasizes the richness of a resource and the value of the producer, which is valuable only while performing its function.

As crystal is a symbol of purity and truth, it is due to its color and transparency that a limit can be glimpsed and predictions about the future can be made.

Since milk is known for its properties in terms of the physical and psychological development of beings, it serves as a metaphor to alerting and raising awareness of a whole range of other valuable and limited resources offered by this planet.
