Flower Deity Oracle / Poem 15 / Osmanthus Twelve Flower Deities X Twenty-Four Tang & Song Poems X Reinterpreted Oracle Meanings The Flower Deity, an ancient custom: "On the day of the Mangzhong solar term, people would prepare various offerings to bid farewell to the Flower Deity, as after Mangzhong, summer begins, all flowers would wither, and the Flower Deity would abdicate. Thus, a farewell ceremony was necessary. This custom was particularly popular among young women. In the Grand View Garden, everyone would wake up early. The girls would weave sedan chairs and horses from petals and willow branches, or create banners and flags from silk and gauze, adorning them with colorful threads. These were tied to every tree and flower branch. The garden was filled with fluttering embroidered ribbons and swaying flower branches. The girls themselves were dressed so beautifully that flowers would blush and apricots would be ashamed, swallows and orioles would feel envious and humbled. It's impossible to describe it all." —Dream of the Red Chamber, Chapter 27 - - - It's like this: the vibrant blooms, the blossoming of your spring heart and the depth of your autumn sentiments, all exist because you are worthy. Sometimes, we crave a subtle hint. Sometimes, that indefinable connection, that serendipity, is simply what we're unwilling to acknowledge as a missed opportunity. Let us shake the divination sticks and surrender to the magic of chance. Your belief in a feeling's existence is just as valid as your belief in its absence. - - - Contents: Tang & Song Poetry with Reinterpreted Oracle Meanings Paper: Glassine Paper Technique: Gold Foil Stamping Size: 50 X 150 mm Packaging: Includes imported Japanese OPP transparent bag, please refer to one of the images.
