THE Rose ORACLE CARD || THE MODERN GODDESS ORACLE DECK
Love comes in many forms.
The rose is a flower that holds big magic. These beautiful blooms are associated with romantic love, but that is only one side of this powerful flower.
If there is someone you’d like to open your heart to, now is the time. This could mean telling this person how your feel or energetically inviting him or her into your heart. It is safe to love, Goddess. Trust that whatever happens next will lead to something wonderful.
Do not be afraid of rejection. Do not be afraid to give love without getting any in return. We are all part of the collective, and no one can truly be rejected. Love can be incredibly painful. Yes, you’ve probably felt the sharp thorns of heartbreak.
But you’ve also probably experienced the surge of pure goodness when love flows freely and is met with even more love.
The Rose card can also be a sign that you need to forgive. Is there someone in your life or in your past who has caused you pain? Honor that pain within yourself and begin the healing process.
Remember, forgiving is not the same as accepting. You never have to accept behavior that goes against your core values, but forgiveness is essential to release the pain from that person or experience. Do not let trauma hold you back from living the life of your dreams. In fact, trauma is always there to serve you. You do have enough love in your heart to forgive right now. Your love is abundant.
The Rose card also symbolizes self-love. Have you been hearing that mean little voice telling you that you’re not pretty enough, not smart enough, not successful enough, or just plain not good enough? That’s the voice of your inner critic, and we all have one. You will always hear your inner critic speak up when you are on the verge of a big energetic breakthrough in your life. Your inner critic is there to keep you safe by keeping you small. Allow the power of the rose to gently silence your inner critic by wrapping it up in love. You don’t need any negative self-talk right now. It’s time to embrace the magic of the rose and step into self-love. See how the world opens up for you when you choose love over fear? Go ahead. Put on those rose-colored glasses.
Practical Magic for the Modern Goddess
To perform a love spell (for any kind of love), create a circle of rose petals and sit inside of the circle. Turn your palms up to receive energy and allow the power of the rose to raise your vibration to one of pure love. Visualize the loving energy as a pink cloud of light floating down from the sky and filling your rose petal circle.
Use roses to cultivate loving energy with a ritual bath. Add a handful of rose petals, five drops of rose essential oil, a cup of pink Himalayan sea salt, and a small polished rose quartz crystal to your bath. Sip on an indulgent beverage of your choice as you invite the love into your body, mind, and soul. This ritual bath is perfect for calling in a romantic partner, increasing self-love or cultivating forgiveness.
