Wood Aster-🌸🌿 “Asters are ancient wildflowers that were considered sacred to Greek and Roman deities. Two myths told of the origin of the aster. The first said that Virgo scattered stardust on the earth, and fields bloomed with asters. The second said that the Goddess Asterea looked down upon the earth and saw no stars. The sight saddened her so that she began to cry, and where her tears fell, there the asters bloomed.” 🌸🌿🌸 Asters are associated with royalty and wisdom! Can’t wait to make candles and ritual bath salts with the beautiful energy they provide. This is totally Goddess Vibes! Thank you for your gifts Mother Earth. 🌿🌸🌿#WoodAster #Foraging #PureMichigan #GreenMagic #RavenRoseDesigns https://www.instagram.com/p/CSxvTv1sTyb/?utm_medium=tumblr

White wood aster (Eurybia divaricata). According to Google, it's listed as a threatened species in Canada but not an issue here in the US. Native Americans used the roots in soups & the leaves were cooked lightly & eaten as greens. Today they are more commonly used in teas, eaten fresh in salads, or used as garnish. 🤔 . #wildAster #WoodAster #woodlandplants #woodlandflowers #wildflowers #ediblewildflowers #flowers #instaflowers #ig_flowers #nature #ig_nature #amazingnature #naturephotography #canonphotography #sepa https://www.instagram.com/p/CFFnzIqpZFV/?igshid=6z88fufw3bw6
