Up to the 12th Century CE Aphrodite was worshipped as the Goddess of arts and letters, crafts, and culture. Recent excavations have uncovered exquisite artifacts and statuary pointing to a once sophisticated and cultivated lifestyle under the Goddess's rule. ~Barbara G. Walker

The rose was not only likened to Mary but to other surviving forms of pagan Goddess. Sometimes the male Spirit of the Rose was a briar rose with "pricking" thorns. "Pricking flesh to acquire blood artificially is the only way that men can 'produce' it." ~Barbara G. Walker

From the Women's Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets by Barbara G. Walker: "Things spoken "under the rose" (sub rosa) were part of Venus's sexual mysteries, not to be revealed to the uninitiated."

When did you reach the point where you were no longer interested in becoming more acceptable? I think I'm still working on it, but I realized that if I don't just do what is in my heart now, my magic will go unexpressed.

Follow what enchants you.
Dress the way that makes you feel alive.

This is the work of the dark rose. She has always been there waiting for you to take her hand and emerge.

🌹Manifesting isn't passive wish making. It's the reciprocal relationship you have with the things you want in life. It also isn't about randomly creating a list of things that would be nice to be, have or do.

It requires clarity about what you truly desire and active engagement with the step for how to get there.

It also requires open eyes and flexibility because you never know how what you desire will show up when you put the energy in motion.
