Nerine, with her plant spirit of Salvia rosmarinus (Rosmarinus officinalis)—commonly known as rosemary, whose Latin name means “dew of the sea”—is a one-of-a-kind Fawn Spirit Guardian. She is stitched from Oeko-Tex linen scraps and dressed in rose and floral overalls and a blue striped scarf, and is stuffed with 100% French wool sourced from small farmers’ collectives.
Deer are ancient symbols of grace and renewal, deeply tied to the turning of the seasons. Their path is one of quiet resilience—shedding what is no longer needed, growing stronger in stillness, and moving forward with careful, deliberate steps. The Fawn Spirit Guardian is here to remind us that gentleness is a gift, that presence is power, and that we are always held in the great weave of the natural world.
