Art vs Artist 2024The Magick of Flora 🍄It has been a long time since I worked on a card deck. This idea of incorporating the magical properties of flora gave me the will to begin.

The Magick of Poisons🌿Foxglove, Digitalis In medieval Europe, foxglove was often used in various magical practices. It was thought to offer protection against evil spirits and was sometimes planted around homes to ward off malevolent forces. According to folklore, hanging foxglove over doorways could protect inhabitants from witchcraft and bad luck. Additionally, healers used foxglove in amulets and charms, believing in its power to enhance intuition and psychic abilities.🌿#kerryoconnor #nexuscards #oraclecards #cartomancy #magic #flowerart #floralart #watercolorblooms #watercolorpainting by @nexuscarddesign

The Magick of Mushrooms 🍄Mushroom symbolism goes beyond mere decay and represents the deep connection between life and death. It teaches us that despite endings and decay, new beginnings and growth are certain. The Morchella species has been found to have medicinal properties, including anti-tumour and antiviral effects, immune-regularity properties and fatigue resistance. #kerryoconnor #nexuscards #oraclecards #magic #wicca #herbarium #cartomancy #cardmaking #cardart #watercolorblooms #floralart #miniaturepainting #cartomancy #wildmushrooms by @nexuscarddesign

The Magick of Mushrooms 🍄 For centuries, and probably many millennia, the fly agaric served shamans in Siberia, and probably across much of the north-Eurasian forest belt,as an ecstatic inebriant. Amanita Muscaria was the means by which they believed themselves, and were believed by others, to free their souls for out-of-body journeys to the spirit world.(Please do not try this at home 💀)#kerryoconnor #nexuscards #oraclecards #magic #wicca #herbarium #wildmushrooms #cardmaking #cardart #watercolorblooms #floralart #miniaturepainting #cartomancy by @nexuscarddesign

The Magick of Mushrooms The Amethyst Deceiver has a bright lilac color. Its cap and stem become paler and almost white in dry environments or as the mushroom grows older, making it hard to recognize. Thus, the name "deceiver". Though people often think that colorful mushrooms are toxic, the Amethystina is edible but don't test the theory on my recommendation. #kerryoconnor #nexuscards #oraclecards #magic #wicca #herbarium #wildflowers #cardmaking #cardart #watercolorblooms #floralart #miniaturepainting #cartomancy by @nexuscarddesign

The Magick of Mushrooms 🍄A ring of mushrooms was believed to be a magnet for fairies to come to dance and the strike of lightning an opportunity for mushrooms to multiply. They have been associated with witchcraft, considered a sign of immortality and longevity, and thought to be a harbinger of death. Mushrooms have been in use to induce a trance, produce visions and communicate with the gods as far back as 9000 BC.#kerryoconnor #nexuscards #cartomancy #handmadecards #handpainted #cardart #watercolorpainting #magicmushrooms #donteatpoisonousmushrooms by @nexuscarddesign
