💐 Meet the Plant Ally: Clover

Red clover (Trifolium pratense) is a common yet powerful plant, flourishing in meadows, pastures, and lawns. While clover is often associated with luck and fae magic, it is also deeply tied to themes of renewal, gentle movement, and emotional resilience.

Magically, clover has long been associated with good fortune, emotional healing, and grounded sensuality. It was said to ward off evil, attract love, and bring blessings from the fae.

🔮 Clover & Tarot

Clover resonates with tarot archetypes of emotional renewal, intuitive clarity, and cosmic faith:

• Eight of Jugs — signals the need to walk away from something that no longer nourishes us.What would you leave behind if you trusted the land could hold you as you step forward?

• The Star — symbolizing healing, divine timing, and renewed faith. Like clover, The Star reminds us that softness is not weakness, but a source of cosmic strength.

• Queen of Jugs — embodies emotional intelligence, intuition, and maternal compassion. Like clover, she is soft but powerful. Her depth mirrors clover’s medicinal roots—supportive of hormonal balance, lymphatic flow, and respiratory ease.

🌿 Plant Magic & Energetics

Edible & Herbal Uses:

• Red clover tea or tincture for lymphatic support, detox, and gentle hormone balancing.

💭 Today's Tarot Pull:

From The Citadel: A Fantasy Oracleby Fen Inkwright, I pulled The Adventurer (reversed). 

This card, when reversed, suggests a pause in forward motion—not from failure, but from perfectionism, fear of the unknown, or clinging to past identities. Clover reminds us: we don’t need to rush to bloom. Tenderness is a path. Movement can be intuitive. We grow in spirals, not straight lines.

Reflective prompts on this card:

• Where might I be avoiding movement because it feels unsafe to begin again?

• How can I let intuition guide my next step?

• What form of emotional or spiritual softness do I need to return to?
