Six of Cups. Art by Nisse Lovendahl, from The Herbal and Spiced Culinary Tarot.

“Strawberry Milk is a curious drink. It conjures up an image of nostalgia and innocence for the past, and a perspective that is all but lost on our adult selves. There is so much to be learned at that time in our lives, from showing kindness to others to the importance of play. Now is a good time to reflect on those lessons and enjoy a renewed sense of childhood innocence. This card indicates a return to these easy feelings of joy and harmony. You may be experiencing increased easy flow in your relationships or spending more time with children. In either case, prepare to leave your worries behind and to see the world fresh and filled with wonder. 

Food: Prepare one of your favorite childhood comfort foods, or dig into your old family recipes. In either case, you will connect with a long-lost part of yourself and your ancestors. It’s a surefire way to remember that food can also be playful. 

Herb: More than ingesting the herb itself, now might be a powerful time to explore the link between aroma and memory. Add some vanilla bean into your life to help you feel the child-like sense of enthusiasm of a baking spree.”

Hey, remember when post-apocalyptic disasters were a fun kind of blockbuster movie, instead of a miserable everyday state of existence?
