Anecdotal: Tragopogon is Bull, Ram and Deer Medicine. It affords protection against ruthless predacity. Tragopogon is a predator/prey medicine that holds that relationship in sacred, perfect balance. The spirit within Tragopogon is invoked to dispel malevolent spirits that have robbed an individual of his or hers appetite for life, once again restoring the sanctity of balance. Here one might say that the circumstance is a predator/prey situation that has lost its appropriate harmony and needs the balance reset.
