The dancing Tulsi goddess ✨ Tulsi, is often referred to as the holy basil, the incomparable one, the elixir of life and the queen of the herbs. She is native to India and cultivated throughout Southeast Asia. In Hindu mythology, Tulsi is seen as a living gateway between heaven and earth ✨ In many homes she grows in the center of the courtyard, for protecting and safeguarding the home from harmful influences ✨ [Illustration made for the upcoming Herbal Astrology Oracle.
