From the Herbcrafter's Tarot, the Madre of Air (Queen of Pentacles); from the Green Wheel Oracle, Cow:
The Madre of Air is associated with Motherwort, an herb that grows upright on a prickly bush. Unlike some other herbs in the mint family, it has an unpleasant smell and bitter flavor. Motherwort contains numerous compounds with antioxidant properties, compounds that protect cells from damage caused by potentially harmful molecules known as free radicals. Such is this Queen, whose purpose is to nurture and protect but whose honest objectivity can often be unpleasant when heard. Yet her clarity and wisdom are shared not to hurt but to help. Cow, often a symbol of abundance, represents blessings. It reminds those who speak honestly with others to do so in a kind, gentle manner. Brutality is never a blessing.
