Here you can see the vine in my garden just starting to come into leaf. Sometimes in a good summer we even manage to get a few grapes on it, but to be honest the thing I love most is the wonderful shade of green and the fantastic gnarled bark.
Magically, the Grape is useful whenever we need a safe haven in life, whether it be from an abusive or unpleasant relationship, or difficult work situations.
In classical antiquity people were quite prepared to wander round with wreaths of leaves on their heads (Sicilian magicians, for example, reckoned a crown of greenery protected them against lightning.)
I suspect a glass of wine would be a pretty acceptable alternative. Cheers!
