One of seven paintings in my series on planetary alchemy. Each planetary sphere is paired with medicinal plants which compliment its archetypal energy.

Saturnian plants: Gentian, Horsetail, Black Cohosh (snakeroot), Teasel thistle, Datura

Saturn's infamous association with death is echoed in its bone (skeletal) and joint remedies. Many of these plants, inhabit dry, rocky, harsh and cold, and have articulated joint-like appearances and dense, angular, rigid forms. Teasel, a remedy for joint pain, means "restore what is broken". Datura is included because of it's poisonous properties and some plants falling under Saturns' category are remedies for poison (Plantain, Blessed Thistle). Horsetail cleanses the body of toxic heavy metals. Capricorn and Aquarius are represented in this painting by their star constellations.

Each print is accompanied with a poem by William Keisel.
