"Milk Thistle" is a Sumi-e (Japanese Brush painting) by professional artist Brazen Edwards-Hager. The ancient world saw the milk thistle as a source of power and healing and is associated with all sorts of myth and magic. The name milk thistle refers to the white streaks along the leaf veins and is often depicted as a religious symbol associated with the Virgin Mary. Legend ascribes the white mottling to a drop of the Virgin Mary's milk. Because of this, several royal houses have adopted the thistle as their emblem because of such strong symbolism.
