The Flower Deity Oracle / Poem 21 / Camellia The Flower Deity, 24 Tang and Song Dynasty Poems, and New Interpretations of the Oracle A traditional custom related to the Flower Deity: "On the day of the Mangzhong solar term, offerings of various gifts are made to bid farewell to the Flower Deity, as the end of Mangzhong signifies the arrival of summer. All flowers then wither, and the Flower Deity retires, necessitating a farewell ceremony. This custom is especially popular among young women. In the Grand View Garden, everyone rises early. The girls weave boats and horses from petals and willow branches, or construct banners and standards from silk and gauze, tying them with colorful threads. These decorations are attached to every tree and flower. The garden is adorned with fluttering embroidered ribbons and swaying flower branches, and the girls themselves are dressed so beautifully that flowers feel shy and apricots envious, and orioles and swallows feel ashamed. It is impossible to describe it all." —Dream of the Red Chamber, Chapter 27 - - - It's like this: the vibrant blossoms opening everywhere, your yearning heart in spring, your deep feelings in autumn—all because you are worthy. Sometimes, we yearn for a subtle sign. Sometimes, that elusive connection we can't quite define is simply a fate we're unwilling to acknowledge. Let's shake the oracle container and let chance guide everything. Your belief in a feeling's existence is just as valid as your belief in its absence. - - - Content: Tang and Song Dynasty Poems with New Oracle Interpretations Paper: Glassine Paper Technique: Foil Stamping Dimensions: 50 x 150 mm Packaging: Comes with an imported Japanese OPP clear bag, please refer to one of the images.
