The archetypal journey 🏹 Beyond their medicinal gifts, plants are archetypes, carrying wisdom, guidance, and reflection for our inner journey. Each plant spirit holds a unique vibration we can connect with, embody, and learn from. Some teach resilience, others invite playfulness, healing, or introspection. ✨ Plant archetypes are not “good” or “bad” — they are mirrors of potential, showing us the full spectrum of light & shadow, growth & release, expansion & rest. Working with plant archetypes is a deeply personal, intuitive process. Whether through oracle cards, meditation, or direct plant medicine, the goal is to metabolize their wisdom and translate it into your life. Our Herbal Astrology Oracle Deck invites you to listen deeply, letting your intuition be the authority as you receive the plants’ messages. How to Connect with a Plant Archetype: 🌬️ Prepare a sacred space: breathe deeply, clear your mind, or gather ritual items. 🙏 Set your intention: shuffle the deck, state your prayer, and focus on your guidance. 🌙 Choose your cards: trust your left hand, your heart, and your inner sight to lead you. Each card carries upright & reversed energies — a spectrum of possibilities. Many plants also align with astrological rulers, incorporating cosmic influences into their medicinal properties. 🌿 Today’s Card: Damiana — The Beloved Ruled by Venus & Pluto, Damiana embodies intimacy, sacred play, and the alchemy of polarity. Used by the Maya & Aztecs as an aphrodisiac, mood-lifter, and ceremonial herb, Damiana reminds us that true love begins within. By releasing rigidity, nourishing creativity, and embracing solitude, we prepare the ground for reunion & connection. 💫 Damiana’s Wisdom —The Beloved exists within you and in the relationships you choose to nurture. By learning the language of plants, we begin to recognize their archetypal lessons to love, protect, create, and transform. Each plant is a teacher, bridging ancient wisdom with our modern searches for inner alchemy. 🌱 — Written by: @adrianaayales Illustrations: @josephine.klerks Publisher: @hayhouseinc . . . #tarot #herbalastrology #oracledeck #ritualmagic #spiritualjourney #anima_mundi_herbals
