The Floral Offering Rite: A Devotional Scroll to the Divine

“You do not need my flowers, but I needed to offer them.
Thank You for letting me remember that I was always the garden.”

Theme, Tone & Goal

• Theme: Grace. Reverence. Remembering.
• Tone: Poetic. Sacred. Slow.
• Goal: To offer flowers to God — not to please, but to praise.

1. Sacred Gathering

Choose your flowers with intuition, not logic. Let your hand be guided by beauty.

• White: Purity of intention
• Red: Passionate surrender
• Yellow: Joy offered as light
• Pink: Love without demand
• Blue/Purple: Mystery and listening

2. Altar Composition

1. Lay a clean white cloth as your foundation — the blank scroll of devotion.
2. In the center, place a bowl of clean water — mirror of the Divine.
3. Around the bowl, arrange:
   • The flowers
   • A candle (the breath of your spirit)
   • A sacred item (stone, ring, photograph — soul offering)

3. Invocation

O Divine Source, Beyond Name, Within All —
I offer these flowers not as decoration,
but as confession.
Each petal is a word I cannot say.
Each color, a part of me I return to You.
I ask for nothing.
I only remember.
I am beauty remembering beauty.

4. The Gesture

1. Take each flower one by one.
2. Whisper into it a truth, a gratitude, a grief, a desire, or a vow.
3. Place it gently into the bowl or at the altar — this is your sacred language.
4. Inhale deeply. Let the scent be the breath of your devotion received.

5. Closing the Offering

You do not need my flowers, but I needed to offer them.
Thank You for letting me remember that I was always the garden.

Let the altar remain overnight.
Let the petals dry in silence — as proof that you loved.
Let the Divine respond in stillness and scent.
