An ex-drug dealer and a nurse-not two you’d usually expect to fall in love. But they keep one another balanced, striving always to move forward and do what is right and good.
Tarot card commission for @scratchdotexe of their two lovely boys.
I’ve gotten so behind on my life lately, I’m so sorry about the hiatus. Been double-booking at work trying to cover for the sweet boy’s bills (he is doing a bit better lately but we’re not out of the woods yet). I appreciate you all so much, I can’t wait to get back to normal posting habits. I’ve got some cards queued up for the next couple of days while I’m traveling. ♥ I hope your weekends are worth your trouble and attention.

dandelions
The Dandelion (Taraxacum) is seen as a great nuisance of a weed, but it is a herb with medicinal and indeed magical properties. They have existed for some 30 million years in Eurasia, and are said to have been brought to North America on the Mayflower in 1620. The English word “dandelion” comes from the French dent de lion, meaning ‘tooth of the lion’ and referring to their leaves. It’s also known as ‘witch’s gowan’ (gowan is a Scottish and northern English word meaning ‘white flower’), ‘Irish daisy’, ‘monk’s head’, and even ‘piss-a-bed’ owning to its diuretic qualities.
Even today when much magic and folklore is forgotten, dandelions remain associated with wishes: make a wish, blow on a dandelion, and the seeds will carry your wishes to the gods, the fairies, your ancestors, or whoever you make your wish to. They can be also used in a similar way to get rid of something, like bad habits for example - blow on the dandelion with intention, and the seeds will carry away anything you find harmful. In Greek mythology, the dandelion is associated with Hecate as, for thirty days, she gave Theseus dandelions to eat in order to give him strength to slay the Minitour. And indeed they do contain high amounts of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as calcium, potassium, iron, and manganese.

dandelions deserve more respect than they get
you say “weeds” I say “widespread non-native edible plant and early-blooming pollinator resource that is not considered invasive because it behaves politely and does not cause deleterious ecological consequences”
