Rose Flowers
Rosa
centifolia
One of the favorite plants
of Western Europe, rose is of course ruled by
Venus in the prime of life, so
it makes an excellent representation of the Mother (and so is frequently
associated with Mother goddesses like Mary).
Often used in work involving love, this magick herb is also good for
delving into mysteries both spiritual and otherwise; its
petals represent the layers of knowledge gained. It is the
perfume of Netzach in the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, and it is a
traditional help in dreamwork. My red rose
petals are food-grade from Pakistan and have a sweet rosy
smell. Great for tea or mixing into soaps and other cosmetics.
Uses in Witchcraft & Magick:
