The Spiritual Significance

Hibiscus is one of the boldest of the love flowers, deep red and showy, and its magic runs hot. Cunningham seats it under Venus and the element Water, naming love, lust, and divination among its powers. As a love and attraction flower it is worked to draw a lover and to kindle and deepen desire and passion between willing partners; as with all love magic, the honest aim is to draw the right person and warm a mutual spark, not to override anyone's free will. Beyond romance, hibiscus carries a divinatory thread, added to charms and dream work to open the inner sight.

It is a vivid, sensual, Venusian flower, equally at home in a passion charm and a dreaming sachet. Hibiscus is also widely used as a tart, red tea, which is not what we offer it for; Plentiful Earth sells these flowers strictly for ritual and spiritual use, not as a food, and they are not for ingestion.
