Today's Card
Garlic (Reversed)
Cneamh
Allium sp.
upright
Purification β’ Flavour β’ The Exotic
reversed
Protection β’ Vulnerability β’ Discrimination
leaf
Garlic is a bulbous perennial related to the onion and the leek. Wild Garlic (Allium ursinum), usually called Ramsons, is indigenous to Britain; Common Garlic (Allium sativum), now used for cooking and medicine, was probably introduced by the Romans, and perhaps originated in Siberia or southwest Asia.
The card shows Ramsons growing in the Ash woods of Crafnant β βthe valley of the Ramsonsβ in Snowdonia, Wales. Like Bluebells, they favour damp woodland, where they gather in vast drifts of green and white.
Upright Meaning Garlic has the ability to flavour food deliciously, as well as being a powerful antiseptic and antibiotic. The combined qualities of purification and flavouring are surprising and unusual. Selecting this card may indicate a need to consider how you can purify and strengthen an aspect of your life without introducing any element of sterility. Often, when we feel the need for change, we envisage removing things from our life β and this may be the right course to take β but consider first whether there is something you can add to your life that will naturally replace that which is bothering you, without you needing to exert any effort in eliminating it.
The card may also indicate that it is time to introduce something new into your life; something that in the past you had considered too exotic or unconventional, but which now is starting to attract you.
Reversed Meaning In Druidry, Garlic is considered a magically protective plant. Life can present all kinds of stresses and problems and, if you have chosen this card reversed, it may indicate that you are feeling vulnerable or in need of protection. It is important for you to know that your soul is an indissoluble part of the strongest force in the world, called, variously, Spirit or God or Goddess. But in your present circumstances you may need to find a way to protect yourself that is appropriate for your situation; it may be time for you to swallow your pride or sense of isolation and reach out to friends, a counsellor or an organization that exists to help people in just your predicament.
The card may also suggest that in any psychic work you are doing, you need to pay attention to the level of magical protection you invoke β perhaps being more careful of your boundaries and exerting more discrimination relation to any communications you receive.

The Cure-All
The name Garlic is of Anglo-Saxon origin, derived from gar (a spear) and lac (a plant). It has flavoured food and maintained the bodyβs health for at least five thousand years. Garlic was used in the Ancient Egyptian and classical worlds β the Egyptian medical papyri, Codex Elsers, contain twenty-two formulae that include Garlic, and Pliny recommended over sixty medicinal uses for it. We find it in Sanskrit medical treatises, Chinese medicine, Romany lore where it is one of the five healing foods (the others being Onion, Lemon, Chilli and Honey), and we know that the Vikings and Phoenicians carried bulbs of Garlic on their long sea voyages.
Although the wild Garlic of Ramsons is less powerful than cultivated or Common Garlic, it is still highly effective as a medicine and was included by the Physicians of Myddvai in their pharmacopoeia. Such was this plantβs reputation that an old English rhyme runs:
Eat Leeks in Lide and
Ramsons in May
And all the year after
Physicians may play!
Ramsons have a mild taste, and their broad-leaved blades can be eaten in salads, soups and stews, as they were in the old days.
Both wild and Common Garlic act as natural antibiotics, destroying a range of invasive microbes and helping to fight infections of the digestive tract. Thirty-three sulphur compounds have been found in Garlic, the largest quantity discovered in a plant to this day, and scientists have recorded nearly twenty major chemical actions induced by

Both wild and Common Garlic act as natural antibiotics, destroying a range of invasive microbes and helping to fight infections of the digestive tract. Thirty-three sulphur compounds have been found in Garlic, the largest quantity discovered in a plant to this day, and scientists have recorded nearly twenty major chemical actions induced by
its ingestion. The plant contains antifungal, antiparasitic and anticarcinogenic agents and has a strong expectorant effect β syrup of Garlic was once a common remedy for bronchial infections. Garlic has such a range of health-giving properties, including the ability to mop up free radicals through its antioxidant action, support the adrenal glands, maintain heart health and reduce high blood pressure, it is no wonder it was considered a cure-all.
Garlicβs ability to free the body of so much ill-health is echoed in the widespread belief found in the folklore of many countries, that Garlic can drive away evil. For this reason, braids of Garlic were hung in the home as a form of protection, sailors carried bulbs to prevent their ships being wrecked, and it was also said to offer protection from vampires.
In Druidry, Garlic is used at the festival of Samhain to ensure that only beneficent spirits visit the ceremony, which welcomes guests from the Otherworld.

Today's Card
Bramble (Upright)
An dris bennaichte
Rubus fruticosus
upright
Tenacity β’ Boundaries β’ Rootedness
reversed
Smothering β’ Irritability β’ Defensiveness
leaf
Bramble, also known as Blackberry, is found all over the world, and is native to most of Europe. In Britain it is common in hedgerows and on any uncultivated ground, where its long prickly stems soon create tangled masses of impenetrable undergrowth. As if to compensate for this unsociability, the plant produces quantities of white or pale pink flowers, which bloom from May onwards, giving way to deep purple, almost black, fruit.
The card illustrates one of the distinctive features of the Bramble β its exceptionally long picking season, demonstrated by its display of unripe and ripe fruit. On the stone we can see the Ogham sign for Bramble β M, which stands for Muin. Some writers assign this Ogham to the vine, others to blackberry. The fruit of both plants produce wine, which provides the associations to this Ogham of the loosening of inhibitions and the accessing of intuition or prophecy as a result.
Upright Meaning If you have ever tried digging up Bramble roots, you will know how tenacious they are β they travel long and deep, and some root systems can cover a wide area and be of great age. For this reason the Bramble is the perfect symbol for tenacity and rootedness. Itβs not going to be pushed around and itβs not going anywhere! If you have chosen this card, itβs possible that you feel like digging your heels in and just staying put β holding your ground and protecting all that you hold dear. Itβs also possible that this card represents another person or situation that is βpricklyβ and stubborn. It may be necessary to remember how difficult it is to remove a Bramble from its position, and how β at the right season β it can yield delicious fruit that is full of goodness. Knowing our own boundaries is vital to our emotional and spiritual health, and when it comes to relationships, being sensitive to other peopleβs boundaries is vital, too. Often, provided we respect their boundaries and when necessary leave them alone, they will in their own time be generous to us.
Reversed Meaning The Bramble is sacred to the Goddess. Like a mother, she protects fiercely and as a result yields sweet fruit. But if you choose this card reversed it might indicate that in some aspect of your life there are signs of a mothering that has been too fiercely protective β becoming, instead, smothering as it seeks to defend its offspring at all costs. It is possible that you, or the issue or person indicated in the reading, has been reacting too defensively to a situation or person. In Scotland, irritable people are described as being βas cross as a Brambleβ and it may be that a more tolerant or accepting stance is being suggested. Alternatively, the card may simply indicate a general sense of irritability or discomfort with a situation that has become deeply rooted. Tenacity may be starting to look to you more like intransigence.

The Blessed Bramble
When we go blackberry picking, weβre doing something that our hunter-gatherer ancestors did thousands of years ago; blackberry seeds were found in the stomach of a Neolithic man dug up in Essex. Later, blackberries, along with other native species such as bilberries and elderberries, were used not only for food but to make wine and add flavour to beers. Bramble stems were used to bind straw or rushes together to form skeps β forerunners of beehives constructed like woven baskets. In Scotland, the plant is so valued it is sometimes called an dris bennaichte, the blessed Bramble, but it has also been called Blackbutters, Blackbides, Bumblekites or Scaldberries. And in Glencairn a traditional riddle about the plant runs:
As white as snaw, but snaw itβs not.
As red as blood, but blood itβs not.
As black as ink, but ink itβs not.
In the old days, Bramble leaves were used as a remedy for burns and scalds β applied with the aid of a spo

In the old days, Bramble leaves were used as a remedy for burns and scalds β applied with the aid of a spo
ken charm. The berries, if gathered at the right phase of the moon, were believed to give protection against βevil runesβ, and creeping under a Bramble bush was considered effective against rheumatism. In Cornwall, sufferers from boils, and even poorly cattle, crawled or were dragged through arches of Bramble, and in Gloucestershire children with ruptures or hernias were passed backwards and forwards through such archways, too.
By Alban Elfed, the Druid festival of the Autumn Equinox, all your blackberries should be harvested, and itβs time to make blackberry wine. You could drink last yearβs wine at your celebration of the equinox, but hurry if you want to pick any more β the traditional saying is that βthe devil pisses on the berries on Michaelmas nightβ β which falls on 29 September, just a week after the equinox. By that time the berries have usually turned sour, having picked up mildew or bacteria.
