I discovered an incredible artist today near the Naval Museum in Cartagena at one of the local arts markets in the historic center. Her work is original, elegant, and visionary. She creates stunning handmade pieces - from intricate crochet art to sophisticated fashion crafted from recycled pop cans transformed into wearable art.

She’s a true master creator: imaginative, skilled, sustainable, and completely unique. You can feel the artistry and intention in every piece she makes.

Solomon’s Seal: The Root of Wisdom 🌱

I’m holding Solomon’s Seal in my hand - a rhizome, not a root, though it feels like the spine of the earth herself. Thick, knotted, marked with the scars of old growth. This is a plant of restoration - of tendons, joints, ligaments, and the deep places where body and spirit fray.

She teaches repair through patience, resilience, and right relationship. Not to force, but to mend. Not to rush, but to remember.

🍁It’s autumn, the season to harvest her medicine - and I did so on the last dark moon 🌑 - when her life force has drawn back underground. I’ve just tinctured mine - a golden elixir steeping in the quiet dark - for the months ahead, when we’ll all need her reminder:
healing begins beneath the surface. 🌿
