Well, we talked about having a Druid Plant Study Group so I decided to just draw a card and do it sort of as and when (as and when I remember to draw and post something lol)
So Garlic, the wild ramsons garlic whos sent fills those little 'fairy glen' type places in nature. walking down the track and your legs brush against a whole patch of wild garlic and your clothes, hair and everything smells of its perfume. (yes the smell is PERFUME not icky garlic.. I love garlic).
Garlic is a great cleansing plant, it cleans our bodies of infections, makes our blood and heart healthy and does so much good for us, that its not so crazy to think it could cleanse our souls from the infections of death, like vampires and other ghost and ghoulies.
The trees and leaves, even the sunlight to me suggest autumn, around the autumn equinox when our bodies are getting ready for winter, and when we need that boost to fight off those coming coughs and colds! So Garlic protects and cleanses us, its a plant of prevention is better than cure, although it'll help cure a few things too! hehe. I love the sunshine this card, our skin catching those last golden drops of sunshine before the dark months take hold and our souls seem starved of the sun.
It seems odd to me that a plant of such cleansing and protective qualities isnt thought of as a psychic plant. Usually ones that cleanse us, or help our bodies are great 'seeing' herbs. But now i've written that, I get a feeling that Garlic isnt a seeing herb, it works purely to help, to perserve and protect. Garlic knows its strengths and weaknesses very keenly, and so perhaps another part of this plant's energy is to keep an eye that we doing things that stick to our strengths and weaknesses, rather than assuming we know them?
I'd love to hear others thoughts on it
