Welcome to Season 11 of Every Day Tarot! This season, we’re exploring the fascinating connections between Tarot and plant allies.
In today’s episode, I’m inviting you to meet yarrow—a humble yet powerful plant known for its protective, clarifying, and deeply healing qualities. We’ll explore how yarrow helps us strengthen boundaries, sharpen focus, and gently tend to wounds—both physical and emotional.
What we explore in this episode:
What yarrow is and its potent herbal and energetic qualities
Which tarot card and archetype Yarrow resonates with
Practical ways to work with yarrow in ritual, healing, and everyday magic
💐 Meet the Plant Ally: Yarrow
Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is a perennial herb known for its delicate, feathery leaves and clusters of small white or pale flowers. Traditionally found in meadows, disturbed soils, and even driveways, yarrow is as resilient as it is soft.
Historically, yarrow has been used to stop bleeding, heal wounds, soothe fevers, and support circulation. It holds a strong connection to warrior energy (think Achilles) and has been called “the plant of the wounded healer,” embodying the dance between protection and gentle care.
🔮 Yarrow & Tarot
Yarrow’s spirit invites us to cultivate healthy boundaries while staying open to transformation and growth.
Yarrow’s spirit resonates deeply with The Magician in the tarot.
The Magician: mastery, focus, skillful use of energy and resources
Themes of protection, clarity, and stepping into personal power
A subtle connection to the concept of the “wounded healer,” encouraging us to transform our pain into tools for growth
The Magician embodies focus, willpower, and the ability to direct energy intentionally—all qualities echoed in yarrow’s gifts. Yarrow strengthens our sense of agency, helps us cut through confusion, and supports us in manifesting from a place of clear intention and aligned boundaries.
Yarrow & Tarot🌿Edible & Herbal Uses:
Traditionally used in teas or tinctures to support circulation, digestion, and fevers
Sometimes infused into oils or salves for wound healing
Can be made into yarrow wine for solstice rituals or ceremonial gatherings
Ritual Use:
Carry dried yarrow as a charm for personal protection
Burn in smoke bundles to cleanse spaces and strengthen energetic shields
Use in steam inhalations to support respiratory clarity and release
Gardening & Offerings:
Grow yarrow in your garden to invite protective energy and promote healing
Harvest mindfully and offer thanks to the plant spirit
Include yarrow flowers on altars dedicated to the wounded healer archetype or for divination work
Energetic Properties:
Strengthens and clarifies boundaries
Supports psychic awareness and focused intention
Offers gentle but firm protection during times of vulnerability or change
💭 Today's Tarot Pull:
From The Sasuraibito Tarot deck, I pulled King of Swords (reversed).
This card reminded us to be mindful of overly blunt words and hasty actions. Yarrow’s medicine suggests protecting not only your own energy but also being careful not to "cut" others unintentionally with harsh truths. Honor your insight, but wield it with compassion.

In season 4 I talked to tarot and pop culture.
Season 5 I went through 13 common tarot spreads.
Season 678 and 9 I went through all the suits with wands,
(06:54):
Pentacles, Swords, and cups. And last season I talked all
about Tarot and the intersectionwith witchcraft.
And like I said, here we are in lovely season 11 where I'm
talking about tarot and plant allies.
And today we're talking about tarot and Yarrow.
So throughout this episode, I will give a plant description.
We'll talk about plant magic, I'll talk about its relation to
(07:16):
the tarot, and then some uses for the plant or working with
it. All right, so let's get into a
plant description of Yarrow. So I've been using this lovely
coloring book. I have the medicinal herb
coloring book by Omani Omajar and Nicole Rose.
I have it LinkedIn, the show notes if you're interested.
(07:38):
I bought it a while ago and I'vebeen making my way through it.
So on the Yaro page, which I've lovely and colored, Yarrow is
known as Achelia milifolium in Latin, and Yarrow is a perennial
herb found in disturbed ground grasslands and gardens
worldwide. It has a powerful styptic
(07:59):
action, which means it stops blood from cuts, gums, nose
bleeds, and even internal bleeding or hemorrhage.
As a diaphoretic, Yarrow can help the body to sweat during a
fever. Its antimicrobial properties
make it useful during acute infections such as within the
urinary tract. Yarrows affinity for the blood
(08:20):
makes it useful as a component of treatment for conditions such
as varicose veins, hypotension and inflammation in the joints.
As a carnative bitter, Yarrow also supports the digestive
system. Yarrow is not appropriate during
pregnancy or generally for long term use.
So yeah, that is kind of the plant and what it does.
(08:43):
If you want to know what it looks like, you can look in the
show notes. I will have an image there of
the plant itself taken from my yard and I'll have, and yeah,
you can always Google it as well, but Yarrow has a pretty
skinny stem. It has very soft leaves that
come out from the stem or kind of have short stems.
(09:05):
And then with kind of frilly leaves, I guess that would be
called. They're quite small for leaves
and Yarrow itself is even the flowering part is often very
small. Like I said, I usually see it in
rocky, kind of like disturbed grounds.
Gravel is like where I usually see it at my parents property.
(09:28):
They have a gravel driveway and Yarrow just grows in their
driveway like a weed often, so it gets pretty.
It can get maybe a foot or a taller.
It has different colored flowers, so the one I have right
now that's in my yard is kind ofa whitish cream.
(09:48):
Yeah, flowers. And maybe if I had left it a
little longer, the flowers wouldhave opened a bit more.
We've maybe have gotten some yellows.
Sometimes they're a light pink color or more purpley.
I think those are all the ones I've seen, but I guess it can
come in different colors. And like I said, yeah, it's just
(10:13):
like there's different varietiesagain.
Sometimes you see it, it'll be very close to the ground, almost
like a carpet, and you might notsee the flower stalks.
Of course, the flower stalk is often produced under like
challenging conditions for the plant, like in gravel where it
doesn't have a lot of nutrients,it doesn't have a lot of like
(10:35):
water or maybe it's getting driven over or something like
that. But often when I see it, if you
see it more in like a grassy, I've seen it in like pastures
before, then you often just see the leaf parts.
So you would see kind of like a clump of almost look like mini
ferns. They're much softer than ferns
(10:55):
and they're not actually in the Fern family, but it like if you
pet them, they would be very soft to the touch.
They sort of would squish under your hand.
They wouldn't break or anything,but you can kind of go back and
forth over it. And I like I said, it'd be like
a nice, like a nice little pillow.
My friend has a horse pasture and when I went to see her how
(11:16):
she was regenerating her pasturefor her horses out where I live,
she I identified some Yarrow forher and then she made a Yarrow
salve later because she hadn't she'd learned about Yarrow but
she hadn't like identified it inher yard before she made a salve
with it and then she gifted thatback to me later which was very
(11:41):
nice. This was someone I knew for my
grad program. Shout out to Haley.
Yeah, So Yarrow widely used, right, like they said in here
for like blood, like clotting, not not really clotting, but
kind of like, yeah, stopping it.So it can be used in very
different things. Very versatile, yeah.
(12:05):
But again, often used as, you know, just seen as a nice flower
as well. Sometimes it's used as like
almost like filler in a flower bouquet.
It doesn't have very strongly colored flowers.
They're sort of bunching and they do the they're not quite
the like total flat umbrella. So when I talk about like
(12:26):
umbrella flowers, usually it means that like they do a lot of
bunching, they have a lot of stems, and then all the flowers
are on the same flat level, almost like an upside down
umbrella or like, yeah, if you were going to use that as a mini
umbrella, it would shield you. So this one is sort of like
that. It's not as flat as something
(12:48):
like fennel or like parsley or carrot flowers, but it does sort
of look like that branching in that way and has like a lot of
bunches of small flowers. All right, so let's get into
some of the plant magic. In the Hearth Witches
(13:10):
Compendium, which I've been referencing by Anna Franklin,
they talk about yarrows being associated with the male
principle, Midsummer healing, divination, clairvoyance, aura
cleansing, protection ruled by the planet Venus, and the
element of water sacred to Saranunos, Herne, and Pan.
(13:36):
So yeah, I think of Yarrow as related to boundaries, which is
interesting. That's not necessarily something
that's specifically named here, although if we think about
protection, we often think aboutboundaries.
Literally what came to mind earlier was that Yarra will cut
a bitch, which is not true. But it made me laugh because
(13:56):
that was like what came to mind of like, Yarra was really good
about protection and, right, protecting you, but also kind of
funny because like, if you literally got cut, you could put
Yarrow in it and it would stop the bleeding.
So sort of the opposite of cutting someone.
But yeah, it's also seen as being like, informative and
(14:16):
divination or healing, right? It is, yeah.
It's like a soft essence, but also like I said, protective and
yeah, I don't I like a little stabby honestly, that's like
that's just what comes to mind. And maybe it is that aspect of
(14:38):
it that is like I said, like protection or even related in
healing, right? If we think about healing
sometimes the way that things heal, sometimes we have to
write, we have to clean them outor we have to write stitch
things back together or by like a healing process.
The word healing sounds very nice and like soft, but often
(15:01):
the healing process is very traumatic to the body, right, to
the wound, again, ideally not, but in some cases, right, If
something heals incorrectly or if it gets, yeah, infected or
something like often we have to do measures to clean out in that
(15:21):
way, which is just kind of interesting.
Having learned about, you know, the plant description is that it
is related to healing, right? It's related to open wounds,
which again, if you think about open wounds, a thing that would
help with that would be protection or boundaries.
And then, yeah, that it has thissort of divination, clairvoyance
aspect to it, which is interesting.
(15:43):
I don't know if people like burnYarrow at all, like in like how
you might other plants like sagefor cleansing or, or or
something for like divining. I sort of imagine so, but I'm
not quite sure. That's just kind of what I'm
imagining. Maybe I'll look it up real
quick. But yeah, so let's talk about.
(16:07):
Let's go into some of the relation to tarot here with
Yara. All right, So yeah, let's get
into the relation to the tarot. So I read let's see what's this
blog called again? Forrest medicine.net and I have
it LinkedIn, the show notes. But I was looking up Yarrow and
(16:28):
seeing if other there were like strict relationships to the
tarot and I found this blog talking about Yarrow and its
relationship to the magician they talk about.
I think this makes sense as we sort of think about like the
clairvoyance, the aura protection, the sort of even
boundaries as being sort of a magician quality like cutting
(16:53):
through bullshit like giving a lot of abilities, right helping.
I think if you like people consume Yarrow, like I said, OK,
so warning, right? Yarrow can be psychoactive, so
be careful. But I know some people will
infuse it in water and drink it like a tea, but in like a cold
(17:17):
water infusion. Always do your research before
consuming plants in that way, especially if you know they're
going to be psychoactive. But yeah, it says it heightened
sensory perception. And again, this is probably
along with its association, justfor a clairvoyance or
(17:37):
divination. I should look it up in my Plants
of the God's Book, which is a book all about what plants have
been used as drugs across human culture and history, and just
how many have been. As humans, we love to experiment
(17:58):
with food and plants and try to understand them and food as
plants, plants as medicine. And so Yarrow definitely falls
into that increasing energetic awareness, helping us tune into
our surrounding spaces. Again, important when we think
about protection, our boundaries, right, Being aware
(18:19):
of our space, where we are in what is near us, what we might
not be aware of on the outside or coming closer.
And Yarrow, Yeah. What else did they talk about?
They talk about Achilles, you know, the Greek warrior with
(18:39):
studying with Chiron. I actually just read the Song of
Achilles book by Madeline Miller.
I'm going to make sure. But yes, Madeline Miller who
also wrote Searcy, so sort of, Idon't know modern retail or
(19:01):
retellings of classic Greek history.
Anyway, with that they talk about that Yarrow kind of looks
like a spear like the leaf part of it does.
And so it's sort of, and it comes from this old English word
mean spear. Well, and it's interesting
(19:23):
because again, it is a healer ofwounds, may be caused by Spears
again, if we think historically or being treated in wounds in
battle. And yeah, and this is related to
the story of Achilles, who studied with the Suntar Chiron,
who's the archetypal symbol of the wounded healer.
(19:46):
And working with Yarrow is sort of known again in the sort of
relation as the herb of the wounded healer ceiling and
energetic wounds, restoring proper boundaries to our
energetic skins in the same waysit heals wounds to a physical
body. So I thought that that was kind
of interesting. So I pulled some Magician cards
(20:07):
that I have from different decksto sort of be with us as we
think about Yarrel. So I have the Goddess of Love
deck by Gabriella Herstick and Julie, illustrated by Julie
Popescu. And this one, the Magician, is
renamed the Enchantress here. We have the Ofidia Rosa Tarot by
(20:29):
Leela and Olive where here the magician is depicted as a snake
eating its own tail, also known as the Oroboros.
This deck is very flowery so there's a flower on it.
Doesn't look like it's Yarrow but I just like thinking about
that. It's a very plant magic related
deck. And then we also have the
(20:49):
therapist who tarot deck versionof the Magician here, which is
created by watercolors done by Rebecca Bloom and prompts done
by Drea Bloom. So this deck does not have a
tarot deck guidebook, but it hasprompts on the back of each
card, reflection questions. So here it talks about the
magician is being focused. Again, if we think about
(21:11):
boundaries or intention or divination of focus is very
important and all of those things and the reflection
questions on the back say whom do you love and who loves you?
How can you best focus on self-care this week and how can
you best protect your heart? Again, heart medicine right here
as Yarrow. So very interesting.
(21:34):
All right, so let's get into some uses.
So I talked about, you know, psychoactive uses of Yarrow,
which I've never done, but I didread about here.
I did read so many different things.
Like I said, yar has been used like medicinally, but we're
going to talk about just some different kind of uses in
addition to that. So there's Yarra wine.
(21:57):
It says Yarra is one of the sacred herbs of Midsummer, makes
a suitable drink at the solsticeritual.
It also promotes clairvoyance like we talked about.
So this one calls for three quarts of Yarrow, 4 lbs of sugar
brined and juice of four orangesand yeast and nutrient.
And yeah, you mix all that together, basically simmer it,
(22:20):
put it in a brewing bin and coolit, add the yeast and the new
ferment for 14 days and strain it and fit on an airlock to make
wine. Again, make sure you're you know
how to do that and you have airlock devices and things like
that. You have to be careful with
fermentation because things can explode if you're brewing or
(22:42):
making wine. But again, you can definitely do
it. Just make sure you have the
proper tools and that you're notDIY in it too much because that
can be dangerous when we're making things that we're going
to consume. Also other ways to use Yarrow
that I was interested in. They talk about it.
You can use it as a steam inhalation for healing.
(23:06):
So steam and inhalations of herbs may be used to relieve
cold symptoms or hay fever. And they talk about Yarrow being
for hay fever, so like allergies.
So they talk about to make a steam inhalation you add 1 pint
of herbal infusion or decoction to the breath water and soak or
(23:26):
oh sorry for the steam inhalation.
So that would be in a bath. But for steam you do 2 pints of
boiling water and two teaspoons of the herb.
Pour the boiling water over the herb and with a towel over your
head inhale the vapor for about 5 minutes.
So if you're having bad allergies and you have Yarrow
growing nearby, you can use 2 teaspoons, right?
(23:48):
That's not so much the plant I have in front of me is certainly
that much there. So you could try that out if
you're having bad allergies. What else do we have here?
I read about Yarrow being used as an insect repellent.
You can burn it, I read. So that is one way to do it.
This one talks about making in like a an infusion with it.
(24:12):
So you pack the flowers into a clear glass jar.
So with this, you would need a lot of flowers.
So you either have to be growinga lot of Yarrow or have access
to a lot of it. If you're going to do this, you
cover all the flowers with vodkain a jar, put on a lid, leave on
a sunny window still for two weeks, shaking daily.
Strain into a clear jar and to use, dilute with a little water
(24:33):
and apply to the skin to repel ticks, mosquitoes and flies.
So that's kind of cool as well. And then finally, Oh yeah, the
other thing I wanted to talk about was that and here they
talk about a little bit more about other uses for Yarrow and
(24:53):
some of the magical virtues thatwe talked about.
So they say Yarrow here they're talking about the essential oil,
and they say this thin, sweet, spicy oil is extracted from the
dried herb by steam distillation.
So again, how all essential oilswork.
It improves circulatory disorders such as varicose veins
and hemorrhoids. It may reduce high blood
(25:16):
pressure. It may help irregular
menstruation and menopausal problems.
It can be used for inflamed wounds, rashes, cuts, eczema,
scars and burns, and hair preparations.
It can stimulate hair growth. And Yarrow blends well with
Angelica, cedar word and verbena.
And I know I feel like Angelica's another common
(25:36):
divination plant, but I could bewrong.
So it says caution, avoid duringpregnancy may irritate sensitive
skin. So the magical virtues
associated with it are exorcism,banishing, protection,
purification, psychic awareness,and divination.
So very powerful. And like we talked about
earlier, the deities associated with it are Sernanos, Herne and
(25:59):
Pan. The only one I'm familiar with
there is Pan. I might have to look up the
other one, see what those are about.
It's associated with the planet of Venus and the element of
water. Yeah.
So those are, you know, some uses.
Again, this compendium is quite large, so I just kind of look up
each plant in the back. But yeah, the compendium's about
(26:21):
500 pages, so there's lots of cool things to make in here.
And this is the again, the Hearthwitch is Compendium
Magical and Natural Living for Every Day by Anna Franklin, and
the link will be in the show notes if you want to go check
out that book there. But yeah, so let's dive in and
see what the cards have to say today.
What, what, what does Yarrow have to say to us?
(26:43):
Yarrow boundaries. Where do we need to be setting
our boundaries? Where can we protect ourselves?
What are we, what are we divining?
What are we seeing for the future?
So I'm going to grab a deck and give it a shuffle there.
I'm going to use the Sasser Abito, Taro spice, Sassia
(27:04):
Burrington. This was my first deck, all of
my ducks. I was at Tacoma Pride this
weekend having a booth there talking about my podcast,
handing out podcast stickers. So if you were there, hello,
thanks for stopping by. And I was pulling cards for
folks. So that was super fun.
So all of my ducks were well used this weekend.
(27:26):
It was very fun to see which ducks stood out to people.
I was asking folks, you know, which duck speaks to you and
I'll pull a card from that one. People were really loving the
Ophidia Rosa by Leela and Olive,and also the Goddess of Love,
Duck by Gabrielle Hirstick and illustrated by Julia Papaskio.
But yeah, here I'm using the Saucerabito Tara by Sasia
(27:49):
Burrington. This one is a local artist to me
in the Pacific Northwest. And there was someone else that
came to Tacoma Pride that was like, oh, I have that tech.
So that's very fun. I don't think I've ever met
anyone that actually has the stack because it is like a local
artist. All right, Yara, what do you
have to tell us? OK, I pulled the Knight of
(28:09):
Swords reversed. Let's see here.
Knight of Swords, rubbers reverse.
It's so upright. The Knight of Swords would be
about frank, logical, swift, tactless, kind of cutting
through again, like what we talked about with Yaro.
(28:30):
Cutting through actions, cuttingthrough the bullshit, moving
swiftly. Literally says to cut through
the bullshit. That's funny, working logically,
intelligent, authoritative and blunt.
So reversed, right, this would be maybe when we're going a
little too far with that, when we're acting hastily,
recklessly, getting tunnel visioned says in a quest to
(28:51):
fulfill an intellectual pursuit,are you hurting others?
Your words are sharp. Are you using them?
Well, OK, so again, when we think about boundaries, right,
we think about clairvoyance or seeing, you know, thinking about
the future, thinking about, you know, our own healing, right?
It's this makes me think of right, Making sure that right,
(29:12):
even if we feel like we know theanswer or what worked for us,
that doesn't mean it's going to work for other people.
Or even if it does work for other people, that doesn't
always mean that they're ready to hear it.
Unfortunately, I think the best way that we as humans learn is
by doing ourselves. So right, maybe model what's
working for you, but right, sometimes our words can be very
(29:37):
cutting also, right? We can really cut through the
bullshit. Sometimes that can be hurtful.
So this right Yar is telling us,OK, you know, beware the double
edged sword. And here of course, the Knight
of swords has a sword in front of them.
They also have sort of it looks like so it's a person with their
head kind of face down, the holiness sword like kind of up
(29:58):
in front of their face, but kindof like up at their like at
their third eye, almost like as if you were going to like put
your praying hands up there or meditation hands.
And then they have a butterfly that looks like it's been like
cut in half. And I think of that butterfly as
almost like that the clairvoyance, right?
The thing you can see, the thingthat seems so clear maybe to
(30:19):
you, but it's maybe not so clearto others or, or that we're
trying to get across the point that seems so obvious.
And I think this card, right, iswarning US against, yeah,
against sometimes being too honest or honest when it's
serving us. But maybe it's not actually
serving other people, or we're being so honest that it's being
(30:42):
very hurtful to others. Instead of just being direct,
we're being very blunt about it.So something to keep in mind as

11 where I'm talking all about tarot and plant allies.
(06:33):
If you haven't listened to my other seasons yet, you can go
ahead and check those out. In season 1 I talked to Tarot
basics and seasons two and threeI went through all the Major
Arcana cards and an overview of the four suits.
In season 4 I talked to tarot and pop culture.
Season 5 I went through 13 common tarot spreads.
Season 678 and 9 I went through all the suits with wands,
(06:54):
Pentacles, Swords, and cups. And last season I talked all
about Tarot and the intersectionwith witchcraft.
And like I said, here we are in lovely season 11 where I'm
talking about tarot and plant allies.
And today we're talking about tarot and Yarrow.
So throughout this episode, I will give a plant description.
We'll talk about plant magic, I'll talk about its relation to
(07:16):
the tarot, and then some uses for the plant or working with
it. All right, so let's get into a
plant description of Yarrow. So I've been using this lovely
coloring book. I have the medicinal herb
coloring book by Omani Omajar and Nicole Rose.
I have it LinkedIn, the show notes if you're interested.
(07:38):
I bought it a while ago and I'vebeen making my way through it.
So on the Yaro page, which I've lovely and colored, Yarrow is
known as Achelia milifolium in Latin, and Yarrow is a perennial
herb found in disturbed ground grasslands and gardens
worldwide. It has a powerful styptic
(07:59):
action, which means it stops blood from cuts, gums, nose
bleeds, and even internal bleeding or hemorrhage.
As a diaphoretic, Yarrow can help the body to sweat during a
fever. Its antimicrobial properties
make it useful during acute infections such as within the
urinary tract. Yarrows affinity for the blood
(08:20):
makes it useful as a component of treatment for conditions such
as varicose veins, hypotension and inflammation in the joints.
As a carnative bitter, Yarrow also supports the digestive
system. Yarrow is not appropriate during
pregnancy or generally for long term use.
So yeah, that is kind of the plant and what it does.
(08:43):
If you want to know what it looks like, you can look in the
show notes. I will have an image there of
the plant itself taken from my yard and I'll have, and yeah,
you can always Google it as well, but Yarrow has a pretty
skinny stem. It has very soft leaves that
come out from the stem or kind of have short stems.
(09:05):
And then with kind of frilly leaves, I guess that would be
called. They're quite small for leaves
and Yarrow itself is even the flowering part is often very
small. Like I said, I usually see it in
rocky, kind of like disturbed grounds.
Gravel is like where I usually see it at my parents property.
(09:28):
They have a gravel driveway and Yarrow just grows in their
driveway like a weed often, so it gets pretty.
It can get maybe a foot or a taller.
It has different colored flowers, so the one I have right
now that's in my yard is kind ofa whitish cream.
(09:48):
Yeah, flowers. And maybe if I had left it a
little longer, the flowers wouldhave opened a bit more.
We've maybe have gotten some yellows.
Sometimes they're a light pink color or more purpley.
I think those are all the ones I've seen, but I guess it can
come in different colors. And like I said, yeah, it's just
(10:13):
like there's different varietiesagain.
Sometimes you see it, it'll be very close to the ground, almost
like a carpet, and you might notsee the flower stalks.
Of course, the flower stalk is often produced under like
challenging conditions for the plant, like in gravel where it
doesn't have a lot of nutrients,it doesn't have a lot of like
(10:35):
water or maybe it's getting driven over or something like
that. But often when I see it, if you
see it more in like a grassy, I've seen it in like pastures
before, then you often just see the leaf parts.
So you would see kind of like a clump of almost look like mini
ferns. They're much softer than ferns
(10:55):
and they're not actually in the Fern family, but it like if you
pet them, they would be very soft to the touch.
They sort of would squish under your hand.
They wouldn't break or anything,but you can kind of go back and
forth over it. And I like I said, it'd be like
a nice, like a nice little pillow.
My friend has a horse pasture and when I went to see her how
(11:16):
she was regenerating her pasturefor her horses out where I live,
she I identified some Yarrow forher and then she made a Yarrow
salve later because she hadn't she'd learned about Yarrow but
she hadn't like identified it inher yard before she made a salve
with it and then she gifted thatback to me later which was very
(11:41):
nice. This was someone I knew for my
grad program. Shout out to Haley.
Yeah, So Yarrow widely used, right, like they said in here
for like blood, like clotting, not not really clotting, but
kind of like, yeah, stopping it.So it can be used in very
different things. Very versatile, yeah.
(12:05):
But again, often used as, you know, just seen as a nice flower
as well. Sometimes it's used as like
almost like filler in a flower bouquet.
It doesn't have very strongly colored flowers.
They're sort of bunching and they do the they're not quite
the like total flat umbrella. So when I talk about like
(12:26):
umbrella flowers, usually it means that like they do a lot of
bunching, they have a lot of stems, and then all the flowers
are on the same flat level, almost like an upside down
umbrella or like, yeah, if you were going to use that as a mini
umbrella, it would shield you. So this one is sort of like
that. It's not as flat as something
(12:48):
like fennel or like parsley or carrot flowers, but it does sort
of look like that branching in that way and has like a lot of
bunches of small flowers. All right, so let's get into
some of the plant magic. In the Hearth Witches
(13:10):
Compendium, which I've been referencing by Anna Franklin,
they talk about yarrows being associated with the male
principle, Midsummer healing, divination, clairvoyance, aura
cleansing, protection ruled by the planet Venus, and the
element of water sacred to Saranunos, Herne, and Pan.
(13:36):
So yeah, I think of Yarrow as related to boundaries, which is
interesting. That's not necessarily something
that's specifically named here, although if we think about
protection, we often think aboutboundaries.
Literally what came to mind earlier was that Yarra will cut
a bitch, which is not true. But it made me laugh because
(13:56):
that was like what came to mind of like, Yarra was really good
about protection and, right, protecting you, but also kind of
funny because like, if you literally got cut, you could put
Yarrow in it and it would stop the bleeding.
So sort of the opposite of cutting someone.
But yeah, it's also seen as being like, informative and
(14:16):
divination or healing, right? It is, yeah.
It's like a soft essence, but also like I said, protective and
yeah, I don't I like a little stabby honestly, that's like
that's just what comes to mind. And maybe it is that aspect of
(14:38):
it that is like I said, like protection or even related in
healing, right? If we think about healing
sometimes the way that things heal, sometimes we have to
write, we have to clean them outor we have to write stitch
things back together or by like a healing process.
The word healing sounds very nice and like soft, but often
(15:01):
the healing process is very traumatic to the body, right, to
the wound, again, ideally not, but in some cases, right, If
something heals incorrectly or if it gets, yeah, infected or
something like often we have to do measures to clean out in that
(15:21):
way, which is just kind of interesting.
Having learned about, you know, the plant description is that it
is related to healing, right? It's related to open wounds,
which again, if you think about open wounds, a thing that would
help with that would be protection or boundaries.
And then, yeah, that it has thissort of divination, clairvoyance
aspect to it, which is interesting.
(15:43):
I don't know if people like burnYarrow at all, like in like how
you might other plants like sagefor cleansing or, or or
something for like divining. I sort of imagine so, but I'm
not quite sure. That's just kind of what I'm
imagining. Maybe I'll look it up real
quick. But yeah, so let's talk about.
(16:07):
Let's go into some of the relation to tarot here with
Yara. All right, So yeah, let's get
into the relation to the tarot. So I read let's see what's this
blog called again? Forrest medicine.net and I have
it LinkedIn, the show notes. But I was looking up Yarrow and
(16:28):
seeing if other there were like strict relationships to the
tarot and I found this blog talking about Yarrow and its
relationship to the magician they talk about.
I think this makes sense as we sort of think about like the
clairvoyance, the aura protection, the sort of even
boundaries as being sort of a magician quality like cutting
(16:53):
through bullshit like giving a lot of abilities, right helping.
I think if you like people consume Yarrow, like I said, OK,
so warning, right? Yarrow can be psychoactive, so
be careful. But I know some people will
infuse it in water and drink it like a tea, but in like a cold
(17:17):
water infusion. Always do your research before
consuming plants in that way, especially if you know they're
going to be psychoactive. But yeah, it says it heightened
sensory perception. And again, this is probably
along with its association, justfor a clairvoyance or
(17:37):
divination. I should look it up in my Plants
of the God's Book, which is a book all about what plants have
been used as drugs across human culture and history, and just
how many have been. As humans, we love to experiment
(17:58):
with food and plants and try to understand them and food as
plants, plants as medicine. And so Yarrow definitely falls
into that increasing energetic awareness, helping us tune into
our surrounding spaces. Again, important when we think
about protection, our boundaries, right, Being aware
(18:19):
of our space, where we are in what is near us, what we might
not be aware of on the outside or coming closer.
And Yarrow, Yeah. What else did they talk about?
They talk about Achilles, you know, the Greek warrior with
(18:39):
studying with Chiron. I actually just read the Song of
Achilles book by Madeline Miller.
I'm going to make sure. But yes, Madeline Miller who
also wrote Searcy, so sort of, Idon't know modern retail or
(19:01):
retellings of classic Greek history.
Anyway, with that they talk about that Yarrow kind of looks
like a spear like the leaf part of it does.
And so it's sort of, and it comes from this old English word
mean spear. Well, and it's interesting
(19:23):
because again, it is a healer ofwounds, may be caused by Spears
again, if we think historically or being treated in wounds in
battle. And yeah, and this is related to
the story of Achilles, who studied with the Suntar Chiron,
who's the archetypal symbol of the wounded healer.
(19:46):
And working with Yarrow is sort of known again in the sort of
relation as the herb of the wounded healer ceiling and
energetic wounds, restoring proper boundaries to our
energetic skins in the same waysit heals wounds to a physical
body. So I thought that that was kind
of interesting. So I pulled some Magician cards
(20:07):
that I have from different decksto sort of be with us as we
think about Yarrel. So I have the Goddess of Love
deck by Gabriella Herstick and Julie, illustrated by Julie
Popescu. And this one, the Magician, is
renamed the Enchantress here. We have the Ofidia Rosa Tarot by
(20:29):
Leela and Olive where here the magician is depicted as a snake
eating its own tail, also known as the Oroboros.
This deck is very flowery so there's a flower on it.
Doesn't look like it's Yarrow but I just like thinking about
that. It's a very plant magic related
deck. And then we also have the
(20:49):
therapist who tarot deck versionof the Magician here, which is
created by watercolors done by Rebecca Bloom and prompts done
by Drea Bloom. So this deck does not have a
tarot deck guidebook, but it hasprompts on the back of each
card, reflection questions. So here it talks about the
magician is being focused. Again, if we think about
(21:11):
boundaries or intention or divination of focus is very
important and all of those things and the reflection
questions on the back say whom do you love and who loves you?
How can you best focus on self-care this week and how can
you best protect your heart? Again, heart medicine right here
as Yarrow. So very interesting.
(21:34):
All right, so let's get into some uses.
So I talked about, you know, psychoactive uses of Yarrow,
which I've never done, but I didread about here.
I did read so many different things.
Like I said, yar has been used like medicinally, but we're
going to talk about just some different kind of uses in
addition to that. So there's Yarra wine.
(21:57):
It says Yarra is one of the sacred herbs of Midsummer, makes
a suitable drink at the solsticeritual.
It also promotes clairvoyance like we talked about.
So this one calls for three quarts of Yarrow, 4 lbs of sugar
brined and juice of four orangesand yeast and nutrient.
And yeah, you mix all that together, basically simmer it,
(22:20):
put it in a brewing bin and coolit, add the yeast and the new
ferment for 14 days and strain it and fit on an airlock to make
wine. Again, make sure you're you know
how to do that and you have airlock devices and things like
that. You have to be careful with
fermentation because things can explode if you're brewing or
(22:42):
making wine. But again, you can definitely do
it. Just make sure you have the
proper tools and that you're notDIY in it too much because that
can be dangerous when we're making things that we're going
to consume. Also other ways to use Yarrow
that I was interested in. They talk about it.
You can use it as a steam inhalation for healing.
(23:06):
So steam and inhalations of herbs may be used to relieve
cold symptoms or hay fever. And they talk about Yarrow being
for hay fever, so like allergies.
So they talk about to make a steam inhalation you add 1 pint
of herbal infusion or decoction to the breath water and soak or
(23:26):
oh sorry for the steam inhalation.
So that would be in a bath. But for steam you do 2 pints of
boiling water and two teaspoons of the herb.
Pour the boiling water over the herb and with a towel over your
head inhale the vapor for about 5 minutes.
So if you're having bad allergies and you have Yarrow
growing nearby, you can use 2 teaspoons, right?
(23:48):
That's not so much the plant I have in front of me is certainly
that much there. So you could try that out if
you're having bad allergies. What else do we have here?
I read about Yarrow being used as an insect repellent.
You can burn it, I read. So that is one way to do it.
This one talks about making in like a an infusion with it.
(24:12):
So you pack the flowers into a clear glass jar.
So with this, you would need a lot of flowers.
So you either have to be growinga lot of Yarrow or have access
to a lot of it. If you're going to do this, you
cover all the flowers with vodkain a jar, put on a lid, leave on
a sunny window still for two weeks, shaking daily.
Strain into a clear jar and to use, dilute with a little water
(24:33):
and apply to the skin to repel ticks, mosquitoes and flies.
So that's kind of cool as well. And then finally, Oh yeah, the
other thing I wanted to talk about was that and here they
talk about a little bit more about other uses for Yarrow and
(24:53):
some of the magical virtues thatwe talked about.
So they say Yarrow here they're talking about the essential oil,
and they say this thin, sweet, spicy oil is extracted from the
dried herb by steam distillation.
So again, how all essential oilswork.
It improves circulatory disorders such as varicose veins
and hemorrhoids. It may reduce high blood
(25:16):
pressure. It may help irregular
menstruation and menopausal problems.
It can be used for inflamed wounds, rashes, cuts, eczema,
scars and burns, and hair preparations.
It can stimulate hair growth. And Yarrow blends well with
Angelica, cedar word and verbena.
And I know I feel like Angelica's another common
(25:36):
divination plant, but I could bewrong.
So it says caution, avoid duringpregnancy may irritate sensitive
skin. So the magical virtues
associated with it are exorcism,banishing, protection,
purification, psychic awareness,and divination.
So very powerful. And like we talked about
earlier, the deities associated with it are Sernanos, Herne and
(25:59):
Pan. The only one I'm familiar with
there is Pan. I might have to look up the
other one, see what those are about.
It's associated with the planet of Venus and the element of
water. Yeah.
So those are, you know, some uses.
Again, this compendium is quite large, so I just kind of look up
each plant in the back. But yeah, the compendium's about
(26:21):
500 pages, so there's lots of cool things to make in here.
And this is the again, the Hearthwitch is Compendium
Magical and Natural Living for Every Day by Anna Franklin, and
the link will be in the show notes if you want to go check
out that book there. But yeah, so let's dive in and
see what the cards have to say today.
What, what, what does Yarrow have to say to us?
(26:43):
Yarrow boundaries. Where do we need to be setting
our boundaries? Where can we protect ourselves?
What are we, what are we divining?
What are we seeing for the future?
So I'm going to grab a deck and give it a shuffle there.
I'm going to use the Sasser Abito, Taro spice, Sassia
(27:04):
Burrington. This was my first deck, all of
my ducks. I was at Tacoma Pride this
weekend having a booth there talking about my podcast,
handing out podcast stickers. So if you were there, hello,
thanks for stopping by. And I was pulling cards for
folks. So that was super fun.
So all of my ducks were well used this weekend.
(27:26):
It was very fun to see which ducks stood out to people.
I was asking folks, you know, which duck speaks to you and
I'll pull a card from that one. People were really loving the
Ophidia Rosa by Leela and Olive,and also the Goddess of Love,
Duck by Gabrielle Hirstick and illustrated by Julia Papaskio.
But yeah, here I'm using the Saucerabito Tara by Sasia
(27:49):
Burrington. This one is a local artist to me
in the Pacific Northwest. And there was someone else that
came to Tacoma Pride that was like, oh, I have that tech.
So that's very fun. I don't think I've ever met
anyone that actually has the stack because it is like a local
artist. All right, Yara, what do you
have to tell us? OK, I pulled the Knight of
(28:09):
Swords reversed. Let's see here.
Knight of Swords, rubbers reverse.
It's so upright. The Knight of Swords would be
about frank, logical, swift, tactless, kind of cutting
through again, like what we talked about with Yaro.
(28:30):
Cutting through actions, cuttingthrough the bullshit, moving
swiftly. Literally says to cut through
the bullshit. That's funny, working logically,
intelligent, authoritative and blunt.
So reversed, right, this would be maybe when we're going a
little too far with that, when we're acting hastily,
recklessly, getting tunnel visioned says in a quest to
(28:51):
fulfill an intellectual pursuit,are you hurting others?
Your words are sharp. Are you using them?
Well, OK, so again, when we think about boundaries, right,
we think about clairvoyance or seeing, you know, thinking about
the future, thinking about, you know, our own healing, right?
It's this makes me think of right, Making sure that right,
(29:12):
even if we feel like we know theanswer or what worked for us,
that doesn't mean it's going to work for other people.
Or even if it does work for other people, that doesn't
always mean that they're ready to hear it.
Unfortunately, I think the best way that we as humans learn is
by doing ourselves. So right, maybe model what's
working for you, but right, sometimes our words can be very
(29:37):
cutting also, right? We can really cut through the
bullshit. Sometimes that can be hurtful.
So this right Yar is telling us,OK, you know, beware the double
edged sword. And here of course, the Knight
of swords has a sword in front of them.
They also have sort of it looks like so it's a person with their
head kind of face down, the holiness sword like kind of up
(29:58):
in front of their face, but kindof like up at their like at
their third eye, almost like as if you were going to like put
your praying hands up there or meditation hands.
And then they have a butterfly that looks like it's been like
cut in half. And I think of that butterfly as
almost like that the clairvoyance, right?
The thing you can see, the thingthat seems so clear maybe to
(30:19):
you, but it's maybe not so clearto others or, or that we're
trying to get across the point that seems so obvious.
And I think this card, right, iswarning US against, yeah,
against sometimes being too honest or honest when it's
serving us. But maybe it's not actually
serving other people, or we're being so honest that it's being
(30:42):
very hurtful to others. Instead of just being direct,
we're being very blunt about it.So something to keep in mind as
