A witnessing of the slow return to feeling after a Long Winter. A reminder to stay present through the pins and needles as the numbness fades. It can be a slow and painful awakening, but the return of sensation means pleasure is waiting for you, too.

The Rough Bindweed (also known as Smilax) is a perennial evergreen vine sacred to Dionysos with spines on the stem and bright red berries growing in grape-like clusters. The myth of the problematic love between Smilax and Crocus serves to remind us of the wisdom of not trying to force incompatible bonding. Invite Rough Bindweed into your ceremonies to reestablish boundaries, especially after ecstatic union and joyful communion.

Belonging. Communion. Connection. Mirroring. Eros. Friendship.
