The Soul of the Rose
(by: John William Waterhouse, 1908)
The rose is sacred to many Goddesses, including Aphrodite, Hekate, Isis, and the Three Graces. The Virgin Mary is known as the "Mystical Rose" and in India, the Great Mother is also referred to as "the Holy Rose."
May you be graced with the beauty of the rose
and the love of the Goddess,
today, and always.
