I’m back with the Herbcrafter’s Tarot today – I’m enjoying learning this deck. And what a fantastic representation of the Wheel of Fortune! It tells us to stay centered in spite of the change and chaos that might be swirling around you. Mark the holy days or seasons as you go to help stay grounded.
Blessings!
The Wheel of Fortune – Kitchen Garden
Put your faith in the turning of the wheel; stay centered in the midst of change; find the medicine unique to every season
A circle of white stones frames a fragrant wheel-shaped garden honoring the eight holy days of the year. An herb planted for each section provides a valuable remedy in the corresponding season. Bay is planted for Yule, parsley for Candlemas, violet for Ostara, chives for Beltane, lemon verbena for Summer Solstice, basil for Lammas, sage for Autumn Equinox, and onion for Hallows. At the center of the garden is a compassionate rose.
Meaning: The promise of the garden is change. Events may unfold that redirect your path. Some things may feel beyond your control. Find the larger pattern in the chaos. The holy days mark the revolving cycles of nature. They may bring disruption, but they are always reliably in forward motion. When your soul compass spins, find stillness in experiences that easily allow you to be yourself. Trust life to come into being, as the plants always do. There is transformation in each turn of the wheel. What emerges from this development will point to your true north.
Crafting with the Wheel of Fortune
• Celebrate the holy days by reading a living altar. Add nature elements as each season unfolds
• When you need to stay grounded, hold small round stone in the palm of your hand and breathe.
• Build a reliable seasonal apothecary. Start with learning the herbs in the kitchen garden.
