The Lore: Red is the midwife of the garden. She focuses on the rhythm of the body’s natural cycles. Although she loves to go with the flow, she also keeps you grounded and prepared for any big event… Be it your monthly cycle or the arrival of a new life.
The Gifts: A reservoir of magnesium, potassium, iron, and B-vitamins. She also contains fragarine, an alkaloid that connects to the uterine muscles.
The Magic: Known to tone and tighten the muscles of the pelvic region, helping to steady the internal tides. She supports the reproductive system by providing the nutrients needed for smooth and coordinated muscle movement.
The Ritual: Steep dried leaves for 15 minutes or soak for four hours to create a nurturing tonic. Drink her warm or iced daily.
A Companion For: Those struggling with heavy periods or painful cramps. Those in their third trimester of pregnancy to prepare for birth. Those navigating postpartum or hormonal shifts who needs to bring the body back to its center.
The Spell:
A midwife for the moon’s own tide,
To steady the boat that lives inside.
She weaves the womb and tones the track,
To bring your body’s rhythm back.
