“Garlic, Poppies + Anise Hyssop" dusty pink regular fit t-shirt
My “Garlic, Poppies + Anise Hyssop” illustration on a unisex regular-fit dusty pink t-shirt
100% lightweight Cotton Jersey
Unisex Regular Fit
Screenprinted locally in Minneapolis by Afternoon Printing
Continuing on with my series of "plant bouquets" is another illustration featuring poppies, anise hyssop, and more garlic. I often turn to plants and their medicine/symbols during the darkest periods of life to process grief.
In the context of Jewish plant medicine, garlic is associated with life-affirming protection, ancestral healing, and Jewish diaspora.
Palestine's red Poppies symbolize the relationship between Palestinian life and relationship to the land, and martyrs lost to over 75 years of violent occupation,
Anise Hyssop has roots in Kabbalah plant medicine and is associated with purification rituals. According to Jewitches, “When the Israelites were to paint blood over their door posts to protect them from the angel of death claiming the firstborns, it was the plant hyssop that they were instructed to use. Its protective uses are lauded to this day.”
Special thanks to Jewitches and Dori Midnight for sharing ancient wisdom about Jewish plant medicine.
