The Hanged One and Burdock
The Hanged One energy can be embodied by a man, a woman or a situation. The energies of the Hanged man bring spiritual power and deep thoughtfulness. A change of perspective can be positively life altering.
Challenge presents an opportunity for growth. Though burdock is a tenacious weed, it can also be a valuable plant. The presence of the large leaves as mulch can bring nourishment to the surface.
When the leaves break down, the soil will improve and burdock will no longer have the conditions to thrive.
