sapphire learns herbs

They grow in the driveway, the sidewalk, the cracks in the concrete—and somehow, they still feel like little bursts of sunshine.

In this edition of Sapphire Learns Herbs, we dive into the magic, mythology, and medicinal uses of the humble dandelion. From wish spells and banishing rituals to liver support and herbal teas, dandelions are powerhouses hiding in plain sight.

They’re ruled by Jupiter, carried on the air, and sacred to deities like Brigid, Hecate, and Aphrodite. Resilient, radiant, and wildly underestimated—dandelions remind us that sometimes, the most magical things are right under our feet.
