Hey dear community, at the beginning I would like to welcome you all to my new post and hope you had a day that brought some positive experiences into your life! In my new post, I would like to talk a little about the mythology of a plant and hope you will be able to expand your knowledge a little.
Here you can see pictures of Dandelion which is also known under the scientific name Taraxacum and it is believed that the origin is Central Asia and has spread more and more in other countries over the centuries. Previously it was considered a symbol of the sun or fertility and also in ancient Greece it was considered a sign of the beginning of vegetation and spring and the people appreciated it very much for the healing properties or used it as a salad and it was also associated with the goddess of magic Hecate and according to a legend, she used the plant to give magical abilities. Presumably, potions were also made from it in the past and according to a legend, Hecate once gave the hero Theseus dandelion for a few weeks to support him in his fight against the powerful Minotaur and even today there is a tradition in Greece to collect the roots of the plant and prepare them. Even in the Middle Ages it was revered as a magical and oracle plant and the Celts also burned it at ceremonies events in which it was about summoning things. Sometimes it was also linked to love spells and in the Norse mythology it also has a high priority and was linked there with the goddess of love Freya and often the plant was worn as jewelry because people thought that this could protect against negative influences. In ancient times it had a high priority as medicine and appears in numerous old writings and also the Roman scholar Pliny the elder mentioned it and went into the diverse effects and during the Middle Ages, it became more and more popular and can be found there in numerous writings. It can also have a positive effect on the pineal gland, which is also known as the third eye and, in addition to the production of the hormone melatonin, is also associated with spiritual forces and it is assumed that dandelion can also have a mood-enhancing effect, which is due to an increased production of serotonin. As always, in case of illness, you should always ask your doctor or pharmacist about the correct use to avoid complications!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you could learn something new about mythology! I captured these pictures with my Camera Sony Alpha 6000 plus 55-210 mm lens.
I also like this flower very much, so I will try to find it here in my city.
Happy to hear that I could motivate you to go looking for it :)
Thank you for your donation to CBRS! 😍
I have heard Dandelion has a lot of healing and interesting effects when used properly! :o
You are welcome, it is an important medicinal plant :) I am pleased to have learned about this project today! Thank you for the initiative and I think it’s great that you are trying to make contacts with more charitable organisations, also good to see that so many donations have been generated with the help of the Monero community. I really hope to see more such projects on Hive and the Decentralized Hive Fund could also be very helpful for this.
