Flower blossoms are so fragile to the touch. Yet, flowers are powerful in many ways. The gift of flowers brings happiness and communicates so much.

We use flowers to commemorate important life passages, such as weddings and funerals.

There are many Biblical references about the lessons we can learn from flowers.

When we were young, we did divination with flower petals; he loves me, he loves me not.

There are flower essences and oils which we use for healing. There is a symbolic language of flowers which we can use to perform readings.

The scent of flowers can be mood-altering, delightful, and healing.

In mediumship, our loved ones in spirit often send us the image of flowers as a way of communicating with us.

When we grow flowers, we engage in an ancient ritual which brings hope and joy into our lives.

Flowers bring beauty to us. They also bring the power of healing, wisdom, and communication.

Pay attention to the flowers you see as you go through your day. As you observe them in passing, think about what message they may have for you.

Flowers are a gift of the spring, a reward for surviving a difficult winter.

Flowers are a tool of healing and communication, as well as a joy to behold.

Join me for a unique and enlightening tarot learning experience. Class fee is $37.50. Register now.

Create a Flower Tarot Spread

Do you have a favorite flower? Why not use that favorite flower to create a new tarot spread?

You might consider the traditional meaning of the flower and use that as a theme for your spread. Or you might think about how the flower makes you feel and let that feeling be your theme.

You can use the structure of the flower to structure your spread, both in terms of the placement of cards and the number of cards. For example, you might have one card for each petal, or leaf. You might have a single card for the stem or use an upright row of cards to create your flower stem.

Let your inspiration and your imagination work together to create and perform your own original flower spread.

Cards for Your Consideration

It would be very difficult to find a tarot deck that does not include flowers somewhere in its design. Some tarot designers consider the flowers as part of the symbolism of the cards. Other artists may simply add flowers as they feel inspired, without considering the meaning of the particular flower.

Some flowers become emblematic for the card. For example, the sunflower in the Waite Queen of Wands, or the white flower on the flag of Death.

When you perform a reading, take a moment to consider the flowers that appear in the cards you pull. Is there a feeling or a message you get from simply looking at the flowers?
