The secret language of flowers teaches that each kind of flower holds a symbolic meaning, as does each color. Buy potted or cut flowers and bring energy and blessings into your home. Doing small sacred acts to raise both your energy and that of your house and hearth can counteract the low feeling brought on by the decrease in sunlight hours at this time of year.

Carnations symbolize divine love. The white ones connote innocence and purity; the pink, admiration and respect; and the red, love and heartfelt desire. Roses symbolize earthly love, with rosebuds representing childhood and youth and the full flowers representing adulthood. White roses are symbolic of innocent or secret love, light pink of joy and blessings, rich pink of gratitude and appreciation, and red of romantic love and commitment, and a dark crimson symbolizes the mourning of lost love.

Choose the loving message you most need now, and bless your home and life with flowers.
