Link in bio.... . . . . 🌞Dandelion Folklore: Dandelions can be used for answering questions or bringing good luck. When the seeds are blown of a dandelion it was said to carry thoughts and affections to a loved one. In medieval rituals, dandelions being the colour of gold were used to predict whether a child would be rich when the flower was held beneath the chin.The more golden the glow the sweeter and kinder they were. One legend surrounding these flowers was that the tallest dandelion stalk that a child could find in the early spring will show how much taller they will grow in the coming year. If you blow on a white dandelion head and every seed scatters then you are loved. If some seeds still cling to the stalk, then your intended has reservations about the relationship. It is also said that if you make a wish immediately before blowing on dandelion, your wish just might come true. Another belief was that the number of seeds left after blowing the seed head indicated the number of children that a girl would have in later life🌞 . . . 🕰Medicine & History:The dandelion flower opens an hour after sunrise and closes at dusk giving rise to the belief that it is a ‘Shepherd’s clock’. The dandelion is a common reliable barometer as in fine weather the ball extends to the full, but when rain approaches, it shuts like an umbrella. If the weather is to be showery it keeps shut all the time, only opening when the danger from the wet is past. Dandelion greens are a good source of vitamins A, C and K. They provide iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium and are full of antioxidants🕰 . . . . #foraging #wild #food #cooking #forestschools #rewild #selfcare #garden #onlineretreat #onlineyoga #onlineyogaclasses #onlinemeditation #yogaonline #norwichyoga #yoganorwich #norfolkyoga #yoganorfolk #tribenorfolk #norwich #norfolk #forager #wildfood #wildfoodlove #edibleflowers #foodforfree #edibleplants #plantbased #onlinelearning #learnfromhome #wildfoods (at The Great Outdoors) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_feyp-jq2B/?igshid=sqtzuii4ajon
