Tarot: Page of Wands 1

 (c) 3/1/2022

I like the word apothecary though I use the word pharmacy

or drug store as though elemental magic is long gone.

I envy the midwives and the women who used to gather 

herbs and powders and make poultices, teas, and incense

although I use the words compress, syrups and pills.

It has all been knowledge disconnected from Mother earth

and transferred from the hands of women to the banks of men.
