definition
Death Camas (Zygadenus venenosus)
Therapeutic theme: spiritual rebirth; awareness of spiritual connection with all of life
Signature : Very different from the showy Blue Camas, Death Camas presents umbrella clusters of small white flowers on top of a leafless stalk. The flower heads are very bold in appearance, representing the boldness and courage required to face new challenges.
The bulbs are almost identical to those of Blue Camas and early settlers and Indians were sometimes poisoned from eating them by mistake.
When it feels as if the whole world is crumbling, this remedy reminds us of the eternal thread which holds all of life together the endless dance of the ebb and flow of energy. "What appears to be the end of the world to the caterpillar, the master calls a butterfly." (Bach)
This is a remedy for beginning new jobs, new relationships, starting any new adventure, or ending any of these. It alleviates stress and worry in times of transition and enables us to appreciate the experience as an opportunity to shed another skin that we have outgrown. It embodies courage and fearlessness which leads us to ecstasy and transformation.
Death Camas is the Tower in Tarot symbolism. The Tower represents sudden and unexpected change, giving us an opportunity for purification at all levels.
Death Camas is also especially helpful when we deliberately choose to do a process of self-cleansing fasting, examination of beliefs etc.
