From the Herbcrafter's Tarot, the Curandera (Healer) of Fire; from the Green Wheel Oracle, Boar:
The leaves of damiana have been used for centuries as an aphrodisiac (though research hasn't shown an increase of libido in humans). It is symbolic of passion, and this Curandera asks us if we have been trudging through life and lost our joie de vivre. What do we need to reignite our passion and enthusiasm? Do we mistakenly think that taking time for pleasure and invigorating our senses is wasted time? Boar tells us to slow down and go root around along the woody paths that few travel. Exploring new things can awaken our curiosity and reignite our passion. As Julia Cameron wrote, "The quality of life is in proportion, always, to the capacity for delight. The capacity for delight is the gift of paying attention."
What we need to reignite enthusiasm: Wild Gears, gouache blobby vases, and gluing ephemera on Christmas cards and envelopes. Also tidying the dining room table so you can actually sit down and glue something without bumping into 20 million bits of paper, brushes, pens, pastels, and tubes of paint.(Judy)
