Everything

At the opposite end of the spectrum, Mary Jane offers relaxation, fun, playfulness, and a sense that things can be put off till later or enjoyed more fully than they usually are. Often appearing as a cute hippie girl in ‘60s-style attire, Mary Jane watches over people who hurt (often soothing their pain), folks who like to bend the edges of a stressful day or otherwise break through mental barriers that impede a joyful approach to life. Despite her frivolous appearance, however, Mary Jane’s a healer with potent medicinal lore. Her connection to healing is quite ancient, really. Beyond her obvious ties to stoner culture, Mary Jane has been associated with peace, the easing of pain and constraints, and the softening of inner blockades. Arbitrating conflicts of body, mind, and soul, she helps her chosen people slow down and enjoy the world… although sometimes they enjoy it a bit too much for their own good.

Manifestations: Clouds of pot-scented smoke, the hippie girl, and other incarnations of cannabis-associated archetypes (a Beat-style bohemian, laid back jazzman, stoner dude, and so forth) under a variety of names. Associations: Release, bliss, healing, insight, laziness, distraction.
