Symbolizing the Sins with Nature
In crafting this series, we chose to symbolize each of the sins with specific plants and flowers, adding a unique and meaningful layer to our discussions. Special thanks to Alex Ennis for the exceptional artwork that brings these symbols to life. We also appreciate Diane Thorpe from Spellbox for her expertise in selecting and providing the insightful descriptions for each symbol.
Rose (Rosa)
The rose is associated with the Roman Goddess of Love and Beauty, Venus. A red rose symbolises desire and passion. When directed with a pure heart these feelings let us know we are truly alive. Romance also goes beyond relationships and embraces a magical view of life. Romance manifests when we see true beauty in other people, creatures and in Nature. Wearing rose oil on the heart activates theses energies.
