Let’s see the symbolism and mystical properties of the rose…
In Tarot we can find the image of a rose represented in several cards such as The Magician, The Priest, the IV of Wands, and the Queen of Oros, among others. In all of them it symbolizes these 5 senses of the human being that allow us to get in touch with our environment. They are the bridge to the outside and open a range of infinite possibilities
This beautiful and passionate flower is also equivalent in its symbolism to the heart which, in turn, is considered the spiritual center of the Being. The rose in different cultures is linked to love, passion, eroticism and courage.
It is also the flower linked to feminine or yin energy since its 5 petals represent the 5 possible states of a woman’s life: birth, menstruation, childbirth, menopause and death. For this reason, the rose is considered to be an enhancer of femininity and intuition.
