Vintage Besom w/ Bitter Dock

Vintage Besom adorned w/ Bitter Dock from my garden & a magical charm. Rumex obtusifolius, commonly known as bitter dock. It's a magical way to sweep up your troubles (or at least a good way to clean up your space).

Bitter Dock, with its broad oval leaves and distinctive red stems, has been a staple in traditional healing practices. Its bitter leaves, once harnessed by Hippocrates and Dioscorides, speak to its longstanding medicinal pedigree.

Folklore is rich with the plant's symbolism, often representing patience and endurance, reflecting its hardy nature. Its presence in rituals underscores a deep cultural reverence, transcending mere utility.
