Herbalist of the Nile Delta

✦ Your Soul Summary ✦

You cultivated medicinal plants along the flood margins of the Nile, harvesting lotus root and blue lily in the grey light before the farmers woke. Mothers brought you their feverish children and soldiers came with infected wounds, and you treated each with equal seriousness, measuring dried herbs by the pinch and mixing remedies you had learned from your mother, who learned from hers. Your life was ordinary in most respects and profound in all the ways that matter.
