Flower Deity Oracle / Poem 14 / Hollyhock Twelve Flower Deities X Twenty-Four Tang and Song Poems X New Interpretation of Oracle Meanings Flower Deity, an ancient custom: "On the day of the Mangzhong solar term, offerings of various gifts are made to bid farewell to the Flower Deity. It is said that once Mangzhong passes, summer begins, all flowers wither, and the Flower Deity retires, thus requiring a send-off. This custom was particularly popular among young women. The residents of the Grand View Garden would wake up early. The young ladies would weave flowers and willow branches into carriages and horses, or stack brocade, silk, and gauze into banners and flags, tying them with colorful threads. These decorations were tied to every tree and every flower branch. The garden was filled with fluttering embroidered ribbons and swaying flower branches. The girls themselves were dressed so beautifully as to shame the peach and apricot blossoms and shame the swallows and orioles. It was a scene too beautiful to describe." —Dream of the Red Chamber, Chapter 27 - - - It is thus, that when myriad blossoms bloom in vibrant hues, your spring affections and autumn sentiments arise because you are worthy. Sometimes, we yearn for a subtle hint. Sometimes, that inexplicable connection, that fated encounter, is precisely what we are unwilling to acknowledge as a destined separation. Let us shake the divination sticks, allowing chance to guide everything. Your belief in the existence of a feeling is as valid as your belief in its absence. - - - Content: Tang and Song Poems with New Oracle Interpretations Paper: Glassine Paper Technique: Foil Stamping Size: 50 X 150 mm Packaging: Includes imported Japanese OPP transparent bag (please refer to an image).
