Flowers are a fitting metaphor for the brevity of life on earth, given that their bloom doesn’t last forever. Still, we can all enjoy the color and beauty of fresh blossoms and the magic they bring to our spaces. We can also benefit from the energy that different flowers have to offer us, allowing them to protect, enrich, and enliven us with their nourishing abilities and meaningful symbolism. According to legend, some were favored by witches and those hoping to protect themselves from their spells. Here at Absolutely Beautiful Flowers in St. Petersburg, Florida, these are the perfect mystical flowers for a powerful Halloween bouquet.
Roses Dispel Negative Energy
Roses are arguably the most popular flower globally, thanks to their natural beauty, sweet scent, and photogenic nature. There are also many ways to use roses in a bouquet. They have different meanings in every culture, but all acknowledge their universal power. Roses were used in Medieval times to ward off evil spirits and keep us safe, sometimes as protective spells and charms. Today, they dispel negative energy with their velvety texture and vibrant colors, though their thorny stems remind us that even the softest things can have sharp elements.
Marigolds Protect Us and Safeguard Our Health
Marigolds have a tapestry of symbolism that reaches across cultures and generations. Often linked to the afterlife, these blooms honor and connect us with the departed, especially around Halloween. Beyond their spiritual significance as it relates to those who have passed, marigolds are guardians endowed with a protective energy that wards off negativity. Marigolds are even associated with our dreams, reflecting our aspirations and desires. Their essence has long been sought for its healing properties, soothing our ailments and aiding our vitality.
Orchids Sharpen Our Senses
Among their many meanings, orchids are believed to have spiritual powers. These flowers are revered for enhancing spiritual connection and awakening latent energies. Orchids guide us in understanding the patterns in our lives, hopefully unlocking insights we may not realize on our own. We sense a subtle yet strong energy in the presence of orchids, inviting us to search for what lies beyond our understanding. They may even sharpen our psychic powers, fitting for a mystical Halloween arrangement.
Snapdragons are Talismans That Keep Us Safe
Snapdragons are visually attractive because of the unique shape of their petals, but they also have a longstanding reputation for safeguarding against unseen forces. Ancestral wisdom tells us that snapdragons ward off negative energies and break the threads of curses. Snapdragons also ensure that the veil between this world and the next remains secure, holding all things in their proper place. Keep them close to you during Halloween and spooky season as a good luck and protection talisman.
Lilies Keep Unwanted Attachments Away
With their gentle fragrance and graceful petals, lilies can dismantle unwanted love spells and establish a protective sanctuary around our personal space. They are endowed with a quiet strength that can free us from emotional entanglements that are unwanted or that don’t serve our well-being. As guardians of our emotional boundaries, these blooms preserve the sanctity of our hearts and minds, making room for only the love that suits us and nurturing the spaces where our spirits flourish. This power allows us to live authentic lives that are happy and healthy, helping the ones we love to thrive.
At Absolutely Beautiful Flowers, we believe in the power of flowers to heal, protect, and empower us, especially when we may be more vulnerable to otherworldly energies during spooky season. Browse our autumn floral arrangements to find the perfect collection of Halloween blooms.
