017: FLORAL OFFERING

FLORAL OFFERING TO GOD — The Ritual of Beauty Surrendered

“I do not come with gold. I come with fragrance. With color. With bloom.”

🪔 What Is the Floral Offering?

In every sacred tradition, the flower is offered not for its utility, but for its **essence**. This ritual honors the act of placing a flower before God—be it on an altar, a rock, or the open air. It is an act of **surrender through beauty**, a language of color and scent known before words.

• Symbol Element 1: Single flower or small bundle — the unspoken prayer
• Symbol Element 2: Open palm or vessel — the posture of offering
• Visual Cue: Blossom atop stone, altar plate, or floating in water

✍️ How to Offer

• Materials: Fresh flower(s), bowl or cloth, quiet space, breath of reverence

1. Select your flower with presence. Let it be whole, unwounded, fragrant
2. Hold it before your heart. Speak inward or aloud: “You gave me this. I give it back.”
3. Place it gently where the Divine dwells for you: an altar, the earth, a stream, or the unseen

📿 Mantra for Activation

“As this petal falls, so may my ego. As this scent rises, so may my love.”
