Anecdotal: Athyrium is feminine, linked to abundance, sacred cycles, and is associated with circumstantial or ritual birth, death and rebirth. It affords tremendous protection for women’s medicine. The spirit within Athyrium is invoked to address spiritual pain related to subjective or genetous experiences. It is a formidable incarnant for reconciling endopsychic wounds that interfere with the ability to successfully seek a vision or understand the visions and dreams one has received.
