Open to the Grace of the Rose




The rose encodes purity and passion, earthly desire
and heavenly perfection,
virginity and fertility, life and death.
The rose is a symbol that can tie us together
as a whole brotherhood of mankind.
White roses are the unclouded hopes of a pure heart
and good judgement over selfish passion.
The female white rose concerns purity and innocence, acceptance,
unconditional love.

The male red rose, when married to the white,

becomes the basis of magic and the metamorphosis of the soul - the means by which we distill the divine in ourselves.
