Summary
On this episode we are looking at two different flowers you could work with that are perfect to plant during this month - cornflowers and hollyhocks. Hollyhock stands at the edges of the home, a traditional guardian of thresholds. It carries the energy of protection and abundance. Cornflower carries the magic of intuition, clarity and inner sight. Its vivid blue has long been linked to the third eye supporting divination and deeper perception. In Slavic folklore we meet Habernitsa, the Cornflower Wraith. A noon spirit said to dwell in the fields. She reminds us that the spirit world often meets us in unexpected ways. Cornflower also appears in the story of Chiron, the wise centaur, who used its healing properties after being wounded by a poisoned arrow during the chaos of Heracles’ battle with the nine-headed serpent, the Hydra. We also look at the owl, a guide between worlds. It represents deep, earned wisdom often found in stillness. Its presence reminds us to trust what we sense, even when it cannot yet be explained. Our book review is Hungerstone by Kat Dunn.
