. Chicory/Sustain This pretty perennial is most known for chicory coffee but can also be used in salads and teas. But it is most valuable as animal fodder - it supplements the diet in livestock when other grazing crops are scarce. That gives this plant the oracle property of Sustain. . Sustain speaks to the availability and usefulness of this plant in hard times. It gives nourishment and nutrients to many animals and helps sustain them. Much like the Six of Pentacles, this card reminds us that we all have skills and talents for various things and we can contribute and help those who need our skills and then we we need the help, the community gives back with their given skills. Giving or receiving, it is all about helping everyone sustain with grace and compassion. #dailymindfulness #hedgewitchbotanicaloracle #burdock #tenacity #murderofcrowstarot #nineofwands #bepersistent #standstrong #standstrong #perseverance #uphillbattle #oraclecardoftheday #dailyoraclecard #tarotmagic #tarotpractioner #tarotandoracle #sharingenlightment #tarotcardoftheday

. Burdock/Tenacity This little purple flowered plant can be found almost everywhere. Looking a bit like a thistle, it has prickly ball structures that can stick to clothes and this plant can thrive in the most difficult terrain. That is the reason for the Oracle property of Tenacity, . Sometimes we find ourselves in a situation where we need to accept and let go. But there are other times where we need to hold on and have persistence and determination. The journey isn't going to be easy but it will bring us what we are hoping for if we just keep on keeping on. Much like the Nine of Wands, we may feel overwhelmed and facing an uphill battle, but with perseverance and taking things one step at a time, we will get our rewards! #dailymindfulness #hedgewitchbotanicaloracle #borage #havecourage #oshozentarot #innerstrength #stressrelease #standstrong #liftthespirit #oraclecardoftheday #dailyoraclecard #tarotmagic #tarotpractioner #tarotandoracle #sharingenlightment #tarotcardoftheday Daily Mindfulness
. Borage This is a common annual herb often called a Starflower because of it's pointy blossom. It has a culinary and medicinal history as well as being used to make gin, candied, or made into a syrup to add to cocktails. Apparently, Celtic warriors drank wine flavored with this plant to give them courage in in battle and Roman soldiers ate the flowers before they went off to fight. This plant is said to lift the spirits and has courage inducing properties, giving it the oracle of Courage. . Blossoms can be tucked into a pocket for a good luck charm and drinking a tea flavored with the leaves can help relieve stress (although please do your research before consuming) It is also said to increase psychic powers and help depression as well. It reminds me of the Courage/Strength card in the Osho Zen Tarot deck. It gives us the seeds of standing strong in our power and helping us be brave as we go further on our life journey. #dailymindfulness #hedgewitchbotanicaloracle #plantain #nourishthesoul #sixofpentacles #giveandtake #helpisalwaysavailable #dontbeafraidtoaskforhelp #helpnourishothers #oraclecardoftheday #dailyoraclecard #tarotmagic #tarotpractioner #tarotandoracle #sharingenlightment Daily Mindfulness
. Golden Poppy California's state flower, it can be used medicinally as a sedative. It isn't a hallucinogen but it is helpful for relaxation after a long day. Because of this it is given the Oracle property of Dream. I think this card could be related to the Moon and Seven of Cups in tarot. While in that dream state it is nice to think up new adventures and ideas. Things you want to do in life and really digging into your subconscious to see what lurks there. But it is also a warning not to get caught up in wishful thinking. Balance between the two and you can properly dream your world into being! #dailymindfulness #hedgewitchbotanicaloracle #goldenpoppy #dreams #daydreaming #avoidwishfulthinking #dreamingyourworld #letyourimaginationsoar #moontarotcard #sevenofcups #bethoughtful #oraclecardoftheday #dailyoraclecard #tarotmagic #tarotpractioner #tarotandoracle Daily Mindfulness
. Hollyhock Related to the mallow family, this entire plant can be eaten. It can be ground, dyed and even used as a dye or making paper. Full of vitamins, it is also useful with fevers and can be made into a poultice or used to treat stomach issues. That gives this plant the oracle property of Abundance. Many times Abundance is thought to mean in a monetary way - wealth or possessions. But much like the Queen of Pentacles, abundance is better measured by good health, happiness and well-being. It is remembering to live gratefully for what we have and being willing to share our wealth when we can. The Hollyhock is always generous with her gifts and reminds us to do the same. #dailymindfulness #hedgewitchbotanicaloracle #hollyhock #abundance #goodhealth #takecareofyourself #livegratefully #shareyourblessings #queenofpentacles #havecompassion #bethoughtful #oraclecardoftheday #dailyoraclecard #tarotmagic #tarotpractioner #tarotandoracle #beherenow #begenerous #sharetheharvest Daily Mindfulness
Daylily This bright orangey yellow plant is very edible. Steamed or boiled and even fried you can prepare them like a potato - but always be sure to get a proper identification because many lily species are toxic. The raw leaves of this plant contain a hallucinogen which gives it the oracle property of Ephemeral. The blossom only lasts one day - reminding us that life is temporary. I liken this to the Tower card because it also shows us that in times of hardship, it is important to remember that everything is fleeting and nothing lasts forever. Great beauty is often born in moments of darkness. #dailymindfulness #hedgewitchbotanicaloracle #daylily #ephemeral #lifeisfleeting #takecareofyourself #standstrong #beautyfromdarkness #towercard #staycalmandbreathe #bethoughtful #oraclecardoftheday #dailyoraclecard #tarotmagic #tarotpractioner #tarotandoracle Daily Mindfulness
. Chamomile This little group of flowers in the Daisy family can be found almost anywhere. It can be made into teas or extracts to help nerves, stomach upset and generally relax us. This gives the plant the oracle property of Soothe. It is a reminder to care for ourselves and others as well, in times of anxiety or stress. When you face obstacles, it is always better to stay calm and thoughtful while planning on a course of action. Like the Temperance card, it is telling us to stay balanced and be patient, as well as remaining calm and avoiding extremes right now. #dailymindfulness #hedgewitchbotanicaloracle #chamomile #soothe #selfcare #takecareofyourself #standstrong #helpotherswhenyoucan #temperance #staycalm #calmandthoughtful #oraclecardoftheday #dailyoraclecard #tarotmagic #tarotpractioner #tarotandoracle Daily Mindfulness
Fern Ferns! Grow so many places around the world and can be eaten, infused, and cooked into decoctions for respiratory problems and wound cleaning to helping fevers and intestinal issues (always forge responsibly and be sure of identification!) Ferns will find a way to grow no matter the conditions and this is what gives them the oracle property of Growth. Growing can be hard - sometimes we like where we are and we don't want to move because it feels safe. But this will cause stagnation and much like the Death card in tarot, this will not help move us forward in life. Look around you for the opportunities at personal growth - as scary as it may be, push yourself to find these changes and find the path you are meant to be walking! #dailymindfulness #hedgewitchbotanicaloracle #fern #growth #growthisnecessary #moveforward #standstrong #opportunitiesareeverywhere #deathtarotcard #helpisalwaysavailable #dontbeafraidtoaskforhelp #oraclecardoftheday #dailyoraclecard #tarotmagic #tarotpractioner #tarotandoracle #letgoofthingsthatnolongerserveyou #dontbeafraidtolearnnewthings Daily Mindfulness
Morel While I never liked the taste, the Morel is a prized mushroom! While it is rich in vitamin D, iron and B it shouldn't be eaten raw and make sure you use proper identification when going foraging! The morel can be found under various trees it is most often found in ground that has dead or dying trees. They are especially abundant in areas that were damaged by fire the previous year and that is what gives the Morel the oracle property of Regenerate. Much like the Death card in tarot, this card reminds us that in order for things to grow, for us to continue growing, some things will have to die. Devastating as it can be, if we can look honestly at our lives and see what needs to be cut away, we will harvest a much riper crop! #dailymindfulness #hedgewitchbotanicaloracle #morel #regenerate #deathtarotcard #giveandtake #helpisalwaysavailable #dontbeafraidtoaskforhelp #helpnourishothers #oraclecardoftheday #dailyoraclecard #tarotmagic #tarotpractioner #tarotandoracle #sharingenlightment Daily Mindfulness
I was drawn to the Hedgewitch Botanical Oracle so that is what we will be looking at for awhile! . Plantain - this plant is one of the most abundant around the world. It can be found just about anywhere and used for a variety of things like stings, stomach upset, preventing infection and made into a tea to ease itching and snake bites when sprayed on them. It is full of vitamins A, C, and K and used in salads, eaten raw or boiled. It gets the oracle property of Nourish because of its many helpful properties and its wide availability. It helps us see what is right in front of us because a lot of the time, we don't see that help and resources are available to us. It meshes well with the Six of Pentacles - when you have you share and when you need, you can ask without feeling uncertain or insecure. If you are in need of help, stop and look around you, more often than not, there is help right there waiting. If you have plenty, take time to see how you can help nourish others. #dailymindfulness #hedgewitchbotanicaloracle #plantain #nourishthesoul #sixofpentacles #giveandtake #helpisalwaysavailable #dontbeafraidtoaskforhelp #helpnourishothers #oraclecardoftheday #dailyoraclecard #tarotmagic #tarotpractioner #tarotandoracle |
