Description
Luis Card #36This card allows you to heal anybody of any non-mortal illness. It's pair and counterpart is The Illness.
As you can see, she's holding Hermes' staff, which, even if it's representation of economy and not of health, this and the real one (the Rod of Asclepius) are so similar that somethimes they're analogous, so I used it because it is way more beautiful.

Hermes also guided the dead to the afterlife (among other things), which would mean his staff would probably do the opposite to healing and therefore might be more fitting to your illness card. I think if one could or were using it in a magical sense, these two rods, while slightly (but not a lot) analogous in appearance are not in function. The only reason that some people see them as analogous is due to the adoption of the caduceus as its insignia by the U.S. Army Medical Corps in 1902 at the insistence of a single erroneous officer.
Did you know this wasn't the Rod of Asclepius before you drew it or is this something you found out after the fact and didn't want to change it? Because I think the real Rod could be drawn to look beautiful.

I read about it after drawing it... so I decided not to change it.
