30 Asphodel

Nostalgia, longing

In Corsica, where asphodel grows prolifically, a person who has been gone from their homeland for a long time is said to have 'forgotten the asphodel'. Lately it’s felt as though you’re nostalgic for something long past—maybe an absent friend, an old place you used to go, or a food you haven’t eaten for a while. Reaching out to that friend or recreating that time or place - or visiting it if you can is exactly what you need to lift your spirits.

A turning point, decisions to be made

The mazeri of Corsica carry wands of asphodel into the dream-realm. There, they hunt the souls of locals in order to predict who will fall ill or die in the next year. Drawing this card is a sign that you, too, will have to make some big predictions soon. They’ll have important effects on your life so don’t make them lightly, but don’t take forever either - or someone may end up making them for you.
