This is one of three cards that arent plant specific, the other two are the Banes and the Guardians.
I love the picture of this card. This is the archetypal herbalist in my head, the one who I wanted to learn from as a child, who I could go to at the edge of the forest and find how the animals come to here for herbal aid when feeling bad - as well as the local community.
Her earthy colours of green and red, remind me of Brighid, a goddess of healing. And so when we need restoring, by the flames of her fire or by the waters of the stream in the background we can go to her in our dreams and meditations. She's always open and always got something brewing for you
Theres just a whole feeling of respite and healing, the scenary alone could restore your vitality and strength before you get to the herbal tinctures she makes
There are 3 plants in this card, roseroot, st johns wort and valerian. I dont know very much of roseroot, but St Johns Wort is one I grow and I just love. Infact I cant believe it didnt get its own card because of how wonderful it is and the history that runs with it. Valerian is another herb I have taken when I've had stressful times and its worked wonderfully - especially when I can worry and go into burn out, it takes me back to its rooted powers and lets me sleep.
So rather than a miracle worker like we might see healers in modern times, the druid restorer just helps us find out connection to ourselves and our land. I would love to spend a weekend at this bothy for a retreat!
This is such a stunning card, and reminds me that whilst the plants can help us so much with healing, we have to give ourselves the time and space for that healing to work. Time for the magic of the plants and nature to bring us back to wholeness.
I think its good to keep in mind how nature has always had these plants to combat stress. I guess I always think of stress as a fairly modern invention but humans in whatever lifestyle will feel stressed, and nature blesses us with the herbs to bring us back into balance and revitalised.
I havent even started to go into the depths of this card. This is one I will need to go back to again and again in my own healing and restoration
