The Nonna. Art by Nisse Lovendahl, from The Herbal and Spiced Culinary Tarot.

There may be no better feeling than learning cooking from a true master of the craft, one who spent years caretaking and cooking for loved ones and the community alike. The Nonna embodies this warmth fully, reminding you of the abundant wisdom and vitality that awaits you when you choose to have fun. Spending time with the Nonna reminds you of the vibrancy and energy that exists within you at any age.

The Nonna is a reminder that life is good, and that fleeting moments of perfection can live forever within your memory. Don’t be afraid to live large in the moment, to be kind to those around you, to love unconditionally, and to eat well. Revel in the natural ease that is always your birthright, even if it feels rare and special.

Food: Play with your food! Invite your inner child out to romp with the meal. Eat with your hands, use fun plates or silverware, or set a goofy elaborate table scape. Being silly will encourage others to feel at ease.

Herb: Dandelion gives off a similar optimistic energy that will match your current mood and help you continue to motor your way into your future. Make a salad with some dandelions, drink some dandelion tea, or make a dandelion honey.
