The Lionheart for the Animals plant spirit doll is part of a family of dolls completed on the Eve of the Solstice. Inside her body she is filled with the plant motherwort also known as ‘lionheart’ or ‘lion tail’. I see this doll as one who ‘tends constantly to the animal family’. She wears the antlers of the Deer in her hair and over her heart is a Bear talisman made from carnelian. She is protector of the animal world and can help her keeper communicate with her own animal familiar. of the heart’. She was made by hand with love.
