HERALD IN HEARTFELT MAGIC 🥀 ORDER BY DECEMBER 17TH FOR HOLIDAY SHIPPING
It always warms my heart to see how you all cultivate a relationship with these cards and how they peer back from the garden to you. Watching as you create rituals with these botanical decks has been one of the most joyous experiences, and so I thought I would share that with you.
During this Summer season, here is a seasonal round-up of some of my favorite photographs and videos from our budding community.
Rooted in mythology and infused with plant magic, the Pythia Botanica Oracle is the original intuitive, hand-illustrated, botanical deck that has been enchanting so many around the world since it first sprouted in 2016. Join me in celebrating Pythia Botanica Oracle’s near-decade of garden reads, perennial spreads, and weathered fate from the stem to the Sun.
This emerging Summer Solstice season is a key time to set intentions, to brim with botanical spells and ground oneself. As the garden blooms with a first flush of Roses, Clematis, Foxglove, Nasturtium, Peony, Passion Flower and more, a garden bouquet sprang up for this week's Waxing Crescent moon. I've spoken before about how a garden with intention meets the harvesting of bouquets whose meanings we wish to harness. And so, I thought, let us journey into this space again.
My garden, having burst with its first bounty of blooms and first session of deadheading stems, has taken note of Solstice season, too. And as always, this led me to look to the cards. Would they align with some of these stray thoughts and feelings?
The Ophidia Rosa Tarot's Sun card strikes a note with the closeness mentioned earlier: "Swelling with heat from the closest of stars, we connect to the beat of hearts here and afar."
Shears in hand, my face sidled by sun-bleached puffs of Crown Princess Margareta Roses, a most cherished time of year arrives joyful to the eye. This small yet somehow endless space is where I find a boundless stream of inspiration, where I learn from and with the plants, where the Pythia Botanica was born nearly five years ago, the Ophidia Rosa four years ago, and the Maiden three. I come here to create, to read cards, to sit, to greet the day's emotions, to process the catharsis that only inhabiting a garden may bring.
