Algophilia

**Algophilia** is a form of algophilia that manifests itself as love and affection for plants. Typically, people with this trait have an interest in a specific type of plant, such as mosses, ferns, mushrooms or trees. Instead of fearing and ignoring these plants, they may even worship them, dedicate poems to them, or create rituals. They can not only collect plants, but also care for them, water them and protect them from harmful insects. In addition, algophiles can spend time surrounded by their plants, enjoying their beauty and aroma.

Where does this passion come from? Some researchers suggest that algophilia can be seen as a form of mythological thinking, in which a person creates his own myths by connecting himself to the natural world. Other experts believe that this is a manifestation of a distorted form of the archetype, when a person strives for separation with nature, filling his life with harmony

Algophilia - love of algae.

One of the most illogical phenomena in human history. It would seem how a plant can evoke such vivid feelings? How a person, deprived of the opportunity to see the sea and ocean, has so lost his self-control that he submits to his passion. Humanity seems to crave absorption. A caustic sense of primogeniture has taken over one over time, but has not lost its relevance, thanks to the evolution of a species that is the dominant species in the universe. But perhaps now is the time to stand up and take control of what in itself no longer belongs to us.
