The Yarrow Guardian is one of a small group of dolls that were created on the road during my recent pilgrimage to Ireland and Scotland and completed once I returned home to lutruwita / Tasmania. They are filled with dried yarrow and linked to the spirit of the Bee sacred to St Gobnait the patron of bees and the first Holy Well of the Pilgrimage in Cork Ireland. The Yarrow Guardian has antlers adorned with bells and wears a herkimer diamond crystal over her brow. She was inspired by the practice of asking the plant guardians for assistance on long journeys, a plant ally to bring strength and wisdom. She was made by hand with love.
