the story:

Key 7 implies movement, and the wheels turn internally before the external motions are set into play. With The Chariot, victory is afforded through the mind being supported by the heart, thus here is crafted a formula that can fortify cognition all the while promoting blood health through the cleansing of toxins. Chinese Parsley has been used to treat conditions such as high blood pressure and other inflammatory manifestations. Rich in antioxidants, this ally has been effective at preventing disease, such as lung disease - another factor addressed through the heart chakra/lung meridian. High in essential nutrients, this is a remedy for preventing illness by boosting immunity. Gotu Kola furthers this power with their ability to serve as a nervine tonic and alleviate stress, nervousness, and disturbed emotions. This quality as a spirit medicine is even evidenced in their promotion of the clarity required to have a quality yoga and meditation experience. The nervine qualities are exalted by Water Hyssop (aka Bacopa or Brahmi) and Skullcap. Bacopa provides neurological support as a nootropic capable of restoring brain function and even aiding recovery from brain damage. Skullcap also strengthens the brain, and works into the reproductive system, easing premenstrual tension and aches associated with cyclical matters. Similarly to Gotu Kola, they are called forth as affirmative in meditative work - an important aspect of journeying through Key 7. Chaga enhances this as one that catalyzes the function of our pineal gland through their content of melanin - the illumination of the Sphinx is made possible through a journey inward which gives us access to more of what we are truthfully calling forth. That wisdom becomes clear with this key - our victory is the result of intentional application of mental and physical powers.
