Welcome to the Living Codex!
Space Grandma's Ethos
1. Consent is real
2. Kindness is just the best
3. Everybody is welcome at Grandma’s tea time
These are also the ethos of our universe.
And of all our stories.
Space Grandma is a human-like being of that star cluster known (on Earth) as the Pleiades, who travels our
cosmos with zir friends in in a sentient tea house seeking ingredients, stories, kindness, adventure, and beauty.
Overseen (with much and great help) by Grandma’s long-time collaborator Rover Three, The Living Codex is a collection of art, stories, poems, sayings, songs, myths, lore, histories, mysteries, and more, all created or gathered by Space Grandma and friends from across all kinds of adventures.
The Pleiades are, after all, a diverse cornucopic ecosystem of languages, cultures, experiences, perspectives, connections, recollections, questions, suggestions, and much, much more. The Codex is all of this, written, spoken, remembered by every kind of communicating being living anywhere.
Everything here was originally expressed in a range of languages unknown to Earth, by all kinds of beings from across our cosmos past and present; but these words and works are now - and for the very first time - being translated here into the languages of Earth. As we gather more and translate more, and further finesse the expressive nuances of our translative capacities, we may find it fit to revise or refine what you see here.
This Codex is as alive as any of us, ever growing and evolving!

Grandma Suggests:
“Life is a dream.
I dream alone.
You dream alone.
Let's be dreamers.”
Example of the kind of poems composed as evocative names for
tisane recipes created by brewer yahmya of the planet khoyyohk;
these and more are in the story ’the new brews of yahmya’ by Layren caBrac.
Another of our favorites is:
“Chili pepper.
Hot in my mouth.
I show nothing.
You make me sweat.”
