Smokeless Smudging Mist: An alternative to Sage Cleansing

This mist spray is a great smoke-free alternative to incense burning as in Sage, Palo Santo or other herb-based cleansing and purifying practices. Ideal for those with allergies, living in dormitories, or with over-sensitive smoke alarms!

Why this Spell Works

The Essential oils listed here each have their own magical properties which, combined with your intention, will aid in cleansing and protecting from negative energies

Crystal-infused Moon-water is believed to raise the energy to a higher vibration which attributes to becoming more beneficial and healing.

Use this Smokeless Smudging Mist to Cleanse yourself, your home and your tools.

INGREDIENTS

Dark Glass Spray Bottle

1 Small Clear Quartz Crystal. (Used to infuse your moon-water/spring water ahead of time.)

Crystal-infused Moon-Water (Or Spring Water)

Essential Oils (and their relevant qualities)

25 Drops Sage – Healing, Protecting, Empowering, Cleansing and Removing Negativity

15 Drops Cedarwood – Cleansing, Healing, Purifying and Protecting. Guards against all Negative Influences and Dark Energy/Thoughts

10 Drops Lavender – Cleansing, Empowering, Prevents Negative Energy

DIRECTIONS

Add all the oils to your glass bottle.

Fill the rest of the bottle up with your Crystal-infused water.

Shake to mix all ingredients together.

Shake well prior to each use. Store in a cool, dark place out of direct sunlight.

Cleansing Yourself

Have an intention. Set it clearly in your mind. Believe it.

Lightly spray the mist on you and around you. Avoid eyes.

Cleansing Your Home

Spritz the mist as you walk around the room slowly. Focus on cleansing and clearing all negative energy. Make sure you spray in corners, behind doors and closets. Please use caution around pets.

You may also find it helpful to speak an incantation, a thought or chant during cleansing (but this is not necessary for it to work). An example for this would be:
“ Cleanse and bless this home and hearth.
Drive away all harm and fear,
So that only good may dwell in here.”

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

Psychic Communication Spell

This spell will help increase your long-distance psychic abilities. For it, you’ll need a like-minded partner who does not live with you. Set a time when you can perform this ritual with your friend. You’ll both need a white candle and charged amethyst stone. At the designated time, each of you should light your candle and gaze at the flame. Handle the amethyst stone. Concentrate on one thought; visualize a blue-white light surrounding the candle. Then, project your thought in the direction of your partner. Limit this exercise to about ten minutes. Extinguish the candle and call your friend. Tell each other what you felt, thought, or any images you saw. Perform this ritual at least once a month and you will increase your psychic awareness. Ideally, this spell should be worked on Mondays or Wednesdays, during a waxing Moon.

Summer Solstice vs. Winter Solstice

Summer Solstice vs. Winter Solstice

What’s the Difference?

Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice are two significant astronomical events that mark the extremes of the Earth’s axial tilt. Summer Solstice occurs around June 21st in the Northern Hemisphere and December 21st in the Southern Hemisphere, while Winter Solstice takes place around December 21st in the Northern Hemisphere and June 21st in the Southern Hemisphere. During Summer Solstice, the hemisphere tilted towards the Sun experiences the longest day of the year, with the Sun reaching its highest point in the sky. In contrast, Winter Solstice brings the shortest day of the year, with the Sun at its lowest point in the sky. These solstices have cultural and historical importance, often celebrated with various rituals and festivals around the world.

Comparison

Date June 20-22 December 20-23

Duration of Darkness Shortest night of the year Longest night of the year
Position of Sun Highest in the sky Lowest in the sky

Further Detail

Introduction

The solstices are significant astronomical events that mark the changing of seasons. The Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice are two of the most well-known solstices, occurring in opposite hemispheres of the Earth. While the Summer Solstice represents the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, the Winter Solstice marks the shortest day of the year. In this article, we will explore the attributes of both solstices, highlighting their unique characteristics and the impact they have on various aspects of life.

Summer Solstice

The Summer Solstice, also known as Midsummer, is a time when the Northern Hemisphere experiences the longest day and shortest night of the year. It usually falls on June 20th or 21st. This astronomical event occurs when the tilt of the Earth’s axis is most inclined towards the sun, resulting in the sun reaching its highest point in the sky.

One of the most notable attributes of the Summer Solstice is the extended daylight hours. The sun rises early and sets late, providing ample time for outdoor activities and enjoyment of the warm weather. This extended daylight has a significant impact on agriculture, as it allows for increased photosynthesis and growth of crops. Farmers take advantage of this period to maximize their harvests and ensure bountiful yields.

Furthermore, the Summer Solstice holds cultural and spiritual significance in many societies. It is celebrated in various ways around the world, often with festivals, bonfires, and rituals. For example, the ancient monument of Stonehenge in England attracts thousands of visitors who gather to witness the sunrise on this special day. The solstice is seen as a time of renewal, abundance, and connection with nature.

Additionally, the Summer Solstice has a profound impact on wildlife. Many animals, such as birds, migrate during this time, taking advantage of the extended daylight to find food and build nests. It is also a crucial period for plant pollination, as the longer days provide more opportunities for insects and birds to carry out this essential process.

In terms of climate, the Summer Solstice brings warmer temperatures and the onset of summer. It is a time when people flock to beaches, lakes, and other outdoor destinations to enjoy the sun and engage in recreational activities. The longer days and increased sunlight also have positive effects on human health, as exposure to sunlight stimulates the production of vitamin D, which is essential for bone health and overall well-being.

Winter Solstice

The Winter Solstice, also known as Midwinter, is the counterpart to the Summer Solstice. It occurs around December 21st in the Northern Hemisphere when the Earth’s axis is tilted furthest away from the sun. As a result, the Winter Solstice represents the shortest day and longest night of the year.

One of the most prominent attributes of the Winter Solstice is the limited daylight hours. The sun rises late and sets early, leading to longer periods of darkness. This reduced sunlight has implications for various aspects of life, including agriculture, human activities, and wildlife behavior.

In terms of agriculture, the Winter Solstice marks a period of dormancy for many crops. The limited sunlight and colder temperatures slow down plant growth, and farmers often use this time to prepare for the upcoming spring season. It is a time for planning, maintenance, and reflection on the previous year’s harvest.

From a cultural perspective, the Winter Solstice holds significant meaning in many societies. It is often associated with celebrations and festivals that embrace the return of light and the promise of longer days. For example, the ancient Roman festival of Saturnalia and the modern-day celebration of Christmas both coincide with the Winter Solstice. These festivities bring people together, fostering a sense of warmth, joy, and hope during the darkest time of the year.

Furthermore, the Winter Solstice affects wildlife behavior in various ways. Many animals adapt to the limited daylight by hibernating or migrating to warmer regions. The scarcity of food during this time also influences the feeding patterns of certain species. Additionally, the Winter Solstice provides unique opportunities for observing nocturnal animals and appreciating the beauty of the night sky.

In terms of climate, the Winter Solstice brings colder temperatures and the official start of winter. It is a time when people bundle up in warm clothing, gather around fireplaces, and engage in indoor activities. The limited daylight can have an impact on mental health, as some individuals may experience seasonal affective disorder (SAD) due to reduced exposure to sunlight. However, the Winter Solstice also offers a chance for introspection, rest, and rejuvenation.

Conclusion

The Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice are two significant astronomical events that mark the changing of seasons in the Northern Hemisphere. While the Summer Solstice represents the longest day and brings extended daylight, warmth, and abundance, the Winter Solstice marks the shortest day and brings limited daylight, colder temperatures, and a time for reflection. Both solstices hold cultural, agricultural, and ecological importance, shaping various aspects of life on Earth. Whether it’s celebrating the sun’s zenith during the Summer Solstice or embracing the return of light during the Winter Solstice, these celestial events remind us of the cyclical nature of our planet and the interconnectedness of all living beings.

10 Winter Solstice Rituals to Welcome the Season’s Magic

As the wheel of the year once again turns toward the chill of winter, I find myself eagerly anticipating the quiet hush that descends with the snow. The Winter Solstice, a time of equal night and day, beckons us into a world of stillness, a pause in the breath of the earth before the slow exhale into longer days.

This celestial event marks a pivotal point in our journey around the sun, a moment of balance before the scales tip towards the growing light. It’s a perfect moment to pause and think about what this change brings to our lives. Remember, everything in life is cyclical – there’s always something ending and something else beginning. Today, we’ve got a list of some of our favorite Winter Solstice Rituals to help you celebrate the end of long dark days.

What is the Winter Solstice?

The winter solstice is a point in time when the night is at its longest and the day its shortest. It is marked by the Sun’s most southerly position relative to the celestial equator, an occurrence that takes place around December 21 or 22 in the Northern Hemisphere and around June 20 or 21 in the Southern Hemisphere. This celestial event signifies the start of winter, a period that extends until the spring equinox.

Embracing the Stillness

The Winter Solstice invites us to embrace the stillness and the introspective nature of the season. It’s a profound time to gather close, sharing the warmth of hearth and home while feasting on winter’s offerings like root vegetables, hearty stews, nuts, and citrus fruits.

The winter solstice, also known as Yule, is the deepest part of winter – a time for rest and renewal. It’s celebrated with quiet reflection, cozy gatherings, and rituals that honor the longest night and the rebirth of the sun. It’s a moment to light candles, share stories, and set intentions for the returning light.

Each chapter of our lives brings its unique lessons, just as the seasons change and bring their own forms of energy. Honoring the winter solstice helps us to cultivate inner strength and resilience as we navigate life’s colder, more reflective times.

The Wheel of the Year turns, and with it, we find guidance for living a life of harmony. It teaches us to flow with the natural rhythms of the earth, celebrating our connection to the cycles of nature. By observing these ancient traditions, we align ourselves with the natural world, finding a more balanced approach to life that honors our need for rest, reflection, and connection during the winter months.

10 Winter Solstice Rituals

In the spirit of this introspective season, I invite you to join me in embracing the stillness through ten heartfelt Winter Solstice rituals that honor the quietude and depth of winter:

1) Welcome the Dawn

One of my favorite winter solstice rituals is to greet the new dawn. On the morning of the solstice, rise while the stars still twinkle in the pre-dawn sky, finding your place in the world’s hushed tones before the day begins. Stand in the crisp air, feeling the stillness of the earth, and watch with reverence as the horizon slowly brightens.

Engage all your senses as the first light creeps across the sky, expressing silent gratitude for the sun’s return after the longest night. Notice as the world transitions from night to day—perhaps it’s the frost sparkling on the grass, the early birds’ tentative chirping, or the fresh scent of pine in the cold morning air.

With the light’s gentle increase, offer your words of appreciation and love to the dawn. Speak of the beauty found in the quiet, the peace of the world at rest, and the promise of the lengthening days to come. You might leave behind a heartfelt gift to the morning—a written verse, a hand-drawn sketch, or a splash of water on the earth—anything that feels like a fitting tribute to the solstice morn.

As the sun rises, take a deep breath, filling your lungs with the cold, pure air, and then retreat indoors to enjoy a warm mug of winter spice herbal tea. This act of welcoming the dawn on the winter solstice is a profound reminder of the ever-turning wheel of the year and the continuous cycle of renewal and rebirth.

2) Candle Vigil

3) Take a Nature Walk

4) Sacred Smoke Bundle Creation

5) Journaling by Firelight

6) Craft Some Herbal Brews

7) Prepare an Ancestral Feast

8) Restorative Yoga

9) Night Sky Gazing

10) Bathe with the Herbs of the Winter Solstice

10 Beautiful Rituals for Summer Solstice

Celebrate the first day of summer on December 21st with these rituals for summer solstice. May they bring you joy, love, and light in your life.

In nature-based faiths, the summer solstice is known as Litha and is considered one of the most sacred sabbats of the year. It marks the start of the summer months and the longest day of the year before the nights start to grow longer again.

People gather at Stonehenge for day and night long celebrations watching the sun align and shine through a certain point in the structure. In its most basic essence, this day is a celebration of the sun and that it is still shining on us. It will go out one day—but we should revel in our good fortune that we were born at this point in Earth’s evolution. The solstice also holds deeper nature metaphors for life, fertility, and the cycle of time and seasons. No matter what your view of spirituality or nature, it’s always worth celebrating when there’s sunshine involved!

It’s Summer Solstice!

What better time to get together with friends, family, and loved ones, and celebrate the source of all life? What better time to acknowledge the life force energy within us and give back to Creation some of the energy and blessings that we are always receiving. The Earth constantly provides for all of us with her incredible bounty, and the Sun’s warmth provides the light necessary for all living beings to thrive and prosper.

Creating ceremonies, celebrations, or rituals for summer solstice is a way for humans to express gratitude for these gifts. We have so many things to be thankful for—our families, our friends, our homes—and there are so many ways we can express our gratitude for those things: through words and actions, through gifts and offerings, through celebration.

The summer solstice is a great day on which to create your own ceremony or ritual of gratitude. It’s also a good time to connect with nature; find someplace where you can sit in silence with just yourself and your thoughts. There’s something invigorating about spending time alone in nature; it helps us reconnect with ourselves as well as with the natural world around us.

Rituals for Summer Solstice

1. Gather herbs

One of my favorite rituals for summer solstice is to gather plants and healing herbs as our ancestors did. Five common Celtic sacred plants associated with Midsummer are St. John’s Wort, Vervain, Yarrow, Fern, and Mugwort.

Manifold ceremonial features are associated with the Midsummer celebrations, but the lore of herbs and plants traditionally took the center spotlight around this special festivity. Herbs constitute a strong element for celebrating the Midsummer solstice due to their strong connections with magical and healing powers.

2. Have a Bonfire

3. Watch the Sun Rise and Set

4. Decorate Your Alter

5. Prepare a Summer Solstice Gathering

6. Bathe in the Light and Warmth of the Sun

7. Set Your Intentions

Spell For Tomorrow – Cernunnos’ Abundance Prayer

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

Cernunnos’ Abundance Prayer

Light a green candle during this prayer to Cernunnos

Incense for Cernunnos: Cedar, Musk, Pine, Sandalwood.

Offerings to Cernnunos: Bones, Fruit, Grains, Red meat, Wine, Milk, Water, Moss, Fresh soil.

The Celtic Forest God, Cernunnos, gets his name from a Latin word which means “the horned one”. His original name was lost but the name Cernunnos was inscribed in the Pilier des Nautes, a Gaelic-Roman monument found under the Notre Dame cathedral, in Paris, France in 1711.

As a Horned God, he can take the place of consort of the Goddess in the Wiccan Pantheon (God and Goddess). And as a primordial deity in Neopagan traditions, his male principality makes him often be merged with other gods such as Pan and the Green Man.

He is believed to be the god of abundance and ruler of wild animals. His nature is essentially earthly. He is usually depicted with the ears and horns of a deer and wearing a “torque”, the sacred neck ornament of Celtic gods and heroes.

Devotional text

Cernunnos, Guardian of the cauldron of plenty, I call to You.
Horned One, Dark One, Receiver of the Dead, Granter of Rest, I call to You.
God of freedom, God of sexuality, God of cleansing, God of rebirth, I call to You.
Mighty Lord of the Woods and Animals, Hunter and Hunted, I call to You.

I pray you to be present with me in this Sacred Space.
Let Your gaze fall upon this Sacred Ground.
In-dwell my rite and give me Your blessing.
Great Horned One, come into the Circle!

Pour over me the gift of your wealth, and place in my hands the spirit of fortune.
Let the gold and silver come from the four corners of the world and bless me.

Because you are a god that creates and multiplies,
From the top of my head to the soles of my feet,
Surround me with a stream of wealth.
Unleash your prosperity and let health and protection accompany me.

I hear your words, Cernunnos, the voice of the Horned One,  Whose names are uncountable:
You are the wild hunter of the forest deep,
You are the fire upon the hill, And the sower of the seed,

The wilderness is your shrine.
You wield the oaken staff, the elements at your call.
By day you are the sun, by night you ride upon the wild winds
For all things wild and free are in your keeping.

And all things of beauty and freedom and love delight you.
You are the Ancient One. Your faces outnumber the stars.
I am the Horned One of uncountable names, you are the gentle and the fierce
You are Cernunnos, the Ancient One, Lord and Sire of the Universe.

Thursday Source: whitewitchgrimoire.com

Planet: Jupiter
Colors: Blue and Metallic

Ahhh Jupiter, you giant dick. While he is the go-to for power, money and good fortune, he’s about the long game. Fast money? Nope. He will give you more of what you have, so if you’re broke, you may be even more impoverished if you use any of his influence. Be careful with them herbs. Looking for justice? Thursday. Signing contracts or making big money moves? Thursday. Abundance looks different to everyone, but this is the day of plenty….sometimes that is just plenty of what you already have man. I’m serious here. My money spells done in the past before I got my shit together created lasting wounds. Expansion is painful when it comes from a space of lack. I said “I need money! I am broke” and he said “Hold my beer you desperate witch” and then I cried. Great money day if you are attracting what you are, but not what you want. I speak from my own experience and yours may differ, but if your money spells have backfired, look at the day and associations. If you see anything, take note. Everyone is different but I am not even ashamed to say that it took me years to figure this one out for my own magic. Good day for court and child support I must say.

Spell For Tuesday – Energy Building: Quick Chant to Manifest your Need

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

Energy Building: Quick Chant to Manifest your Need

Want to help your need manifest faster? The key to helping your spells and intentions manifest faster is to have emotion and energy behind the intent! One of our favorite ways to raise energy, aside from drumming and dancing, is chanting! The elements are used heavily within this charm because they are the building blocks of existence on our plane.

This quick chant will help you find the rhythm of your circle’s energy, harness it, and add it to your spell. Simply:

  1. Begin chanting the following chant plus your spell.
  2. Feel the elemental building blocks of energy inside of your space.
  3. Know that they are aiding in your spell’s manifestation!
  4. When you feel the speed and energy of the chant mounting, dare to be silent and know that the charm has worked.

Quick Chant to Manifest your Need

This chant can be said with visualization or by passing your written spell over and through the elements as you say them. Always follow your heart and intuition.

As always, spells are worked best within a protective circle where energy can be contained and released intentionally.

Air for intellect

Fire to warm

Water for emotion

Earth to form

  • Aloes:

General: Aloes are indigenous to East and South Africa, but have been introduced into the West Indies (where they are extensively cultivated) and into tropical countries, and will even flourish in the countries bordering on the Mediterranean. The drug Aloes consists of the liquid exuded from the transversely-cut bases of the leaves.

Medicinal Use: The drug Aloes is one of the safest and best warm and stimulating purgatives to persons of sedentary habits and phlegmatic constitutions. An ordinary small dose takes from 15 to 18 hours to produce an effect. Its action is exerted mainly on the large intestine, for which reason, also it is useful as a vermifuge. Its use, however, is said to induce Piles. From the Chemist and Druggist (July 22, 1922):

‘Aloes, strychnine and belladonna in pill form was criticized by Dr. Bernard Fautus in a paper read before the Chicago branch of the American Pharmaceutical Society. He pointed out that when given at the same time they cannot possibly act together because of the different speed and duration of the three agents. Aloin is slow in action, requiring from 10 to 12 hours. Strychnine and Atropine, on the other hand, are rapidly absorbed, and have but a brief duration of action.’

Aloes was employed by the ancients and was known to the Greeks as a production of the island of Socotra as early as the fourth century B.C. The drug was used by Dioscorides, Celsus and Pliny, as well as by the later Greek and Arabian physicians, though it is not mentioned either by Hippocrates or Theophrastus.

Spiritual Use: The word Aloes, in Latin Lignum Aloes, is used in the Bible and in many ancient writings to designate a substance totally distinct from the modern Aloes, namely the resinous wood of Aquilaria agallocha, a large tree growing in the Malayan Peninsula. Its wood constituted a drug which was, down to the beginning of the present century, generally valued for use as incense, but now is esteemed only in the East. The Mahometans, especially those in Egypt, regard the Aloe as a religious symbol, and the Mussulman who has made a pilgrimage to the shrine of the Prophet is entitled to hang the Aloe over his doorway. The Mahometans also believe that this holy symbol protects a householder from any malign influence. In Cairo, the Jews also adopt the practice of hanging up the Aloe. In the neighbourhood of Mecca, at the extremity of every grave, on a spot facing the epitaph, Burckhardt found planted a low shrubby species of Aloe whose Arabic name, saber, signifies patience. This plant is evergreen and requires very little water. Its name refers to the waiting-time between the burial and the resurrection morning.

Daisy flower meaning and symbolism includes new beginnings, hope, innocence, fun, affection, and other sweet attributes. Daisies are part of the Asteraceae family of flowers, which includes over 32,000 species. Because of their popularity and the fact that daisies can be found on every continent except Antarctica, they are subjects in the mythology and folklore of many cultures around the world. This post will include some of those stories, as well as daisy color and spiritual meanings.

(As a side note, sunflowers are also part of the aster family of flowers, but because they are so distinct and have slightly different meanings, I wrote a separate post on sunflower meanings that you can read here.

“I keep stars in my pockets and wear daisies in my hair but I tuck you tenderly in the folds of my heart and take you everywhere.”
– Melody Lee

What does a daisy symbolize?

Here’s a quick list of what daisies symbolize. We’ll go into more detail on these throughout this post:

New Beginnings

Hope

Innocence

Fertility

Motherhood

Fun

Affection

Fidelity

Stardust

Daisy Symbolism: New Beginnings

Around the world daisy flowers are symbols of new beginnings. Blooming in spring, these charming flowers remind us of fresh starts, sunshine, and renewal. Because of this, they are often given as gifts or planted to welcome new babies into the world.

The name “daisy” actually comes from an Old English term that translates to “day’s eye.” The reason is that, like lotus flowers, daisies open up in the morning to take in the day’s sunshine and then close up again in the evening. So, the daisy reminds us that with each day, there is an opportunity to begin again.

Hope

Because they symbolize new beginnings, daisy flowers are also symbols of hope. They remind us that hope is one of the most powerful tools we have for manifesting better outcomes and a better world. Even disappointments can bring new opportunities. As the saying goes, “When one door closes and another one opens.”

Daisy Meaning: Innocence

As they are symbols of new beginnings and hope, daisy and aster flower meaning is also associated with innocence. As a result, these special flowers are representative of babies and children.

It’s important to keep in mind that innocence can apply to adults too. In this way, daisy meaning is akin to what the Buddhists describe as “having a beginner’s mind.” It means to embody a way of being and an approach to life and situations with the curiosity and enthusiasm of a child. This way, you benefit from having a fresh perspective.

Fertility and Motherhood

Just as they are associated with springtime, newborns and babies, daisies also symbolize fertility and motherhood. In fact, as you’ll read about later in this post, daisy flowers were associated with the Norse goddess Freya, who was a fertility goddess.

Daisy Symbolism: Fun

There is an easy-breezy aspect to daisy flowers. They bloom in spring, when nature is waking up, and they grow easily in a variety of conditions. Not to mention, these flowers are easy to draw. In fact, they were probably the first flowers that many of us drew as kids.

As daisies are associated with children, they are also associated with fun and lightheartedness. After all, children naturally love to laugh and have a good time.

Affection

How many of us have plucked the petals of a daisy as we played the game “He loves me, he loves me not” or “She loves me, she loves me not”? Because daisies grow easily in many locations, they are often the wildflowers picked spontaneously for a bouquet to give to someone you have a crush on. Thus, daisy flower meaning also includes affection and love.

In fact, in Victorian England, where flower symbolism was a popular pastime, giving daisies to someone meant that you returned their affection.

Daisy Meaning: Fidelity

Many of us have made daisy chains by connecting the stems of daisies together. This pastime goes back hundreds of years, to a time when daisy chains were worn as head wreaths or belts. However, the daisy chain is more than a pretty garland, as they symbolize fidelity and eternal love.

Stars

The Latin name for the Asteraceae family of flowers comes from the Latin word for “star,” which is “aster.” These flowers not only resemble bright stars, they’re also named for the Greek goddess Astraea who turned into a star. (You can read more about Astraea in the section on Greek mythology below.)

As symbols for stars, daisies remind us of something fundamental, which is that we all originated from the same source. As Joni Mitchell sang in her song “Woodstock”:

“We are stardust
Billion year old carbon…”

Daisy Color Meanings

Daisies come in a variety of bright colors, and each has special meanings. Here are some of those qualities:

White Daisy

With their white petals and yellow centers, white daisies symbolize innocence and the other classic daisy traits, such as babies, motherhood, hope, and new beginnings. White daisies make lovely gifts for new parents and newborns.

Yellow Daisy

Like sunflower symbolism, yellow daisies symbolize joy, childish fun, hope, and good luck. They make lovely gifts for friends or anyone whose spirits you want to lift.

Orange Daisy

Orange aster flowers symbolize health, healing, and optimism. They also symbolize zany, off-beat fun.

Pink Daisies

Pink daisies symbolize affection and love, including both platonic and romantic love. They are ideal gifts and lovely to plant in gardens for new babies, new moms, or friends and family.

Red Daisy

Red daisy flowers are positive symbols for wealth and prosperity. In addition, like other red flowers, they symbolize romantic love. Because the nature of these flowers is lighthearted and fun, red daisies make lovely gifts for new crushes.

In addition, as symbols of eternity and fidelity, they make wonderful gifts for long-term partners, especially when you want to rekindle the flames in your romance or reconfirm your commitment to each other.

Purple Daisy

Many daisies come in purple hues. So, like orange daisies, purple aster flowers symbolize zany fun and spontaneity. In addition, as purple is the color of peace and understanding, like other purple flowers, a purple daisy represents the kind of hope and optimism that brings people together and heals misunderstandings. Thus, it is a flower that represents unity.

Blue Daisy

As with other blue flower meanings, blue daisies symbolize long-term loyalty and trust. They’re also helpful symbols for visualization. Like wishing on a star, focusing on a blue daisy in prayer or meditation can help you to calm your mind and envision positive outcomes.

Green Daisy

Green daisies symbolize new beginnings, renewal, and growth. So, they are helpful symbols for new creative, business, or other endeavors.

Daisy Spiritual Meanings

On a spiritual level, daisy flowers represent spiritual faith and the eternal life of the soul. They also represent the possibility that we all have the opportunity to begin again, no matter the mistakes we’ve made in our past. For some, they are also symbols of reincarnation.

Associated Spirit Animals

Because they grow on every continent except Antarctica, the daisy plays an important role in the natural ecosystems where they grow. As a result, they share synergies with the wild animals and insects in their natural habitats.

For example, rabbits and deer love to eat daisy flowers. In addition, insects including ladybugs, spiders, damselflies, and dragonflies prey on the insects that eat daisies. Therefore, they help to protect the life force of the flowers.

Furthermore, birds, including finches, sparrows, cardinals, and towhees, are attracted to daisies because they eat their seeds or the insects that live in their ecosystems.

Furthermore, the ancient Greeks would dry and crush the roots of daisy flowers and feed them to bees if they were sickly.1

On a spiritual level, daisies share synergies with the rabbit spirit animal because they are symbols of fertility and new beginnings. In addition, as symbols of fidelity and eternal love, they share symbolic meaning with birds, of which the majority, including eagles and crows, are monogamous.

Daisy Mythology and Folklore

Because they grow on nearly every continent on Earth, daisy and aster flowers have appeared in the myths and folklore of many cultures around the world. Here are some of those stories:

Daisy Meaning in Greek Mythology

For the ancient Greeks, daisy flowers were sacred. The Greeks made them into wreaths, which they placed in their temples. In addition, they burned their leaves to detoxify the air and drive evil spirits away.

The ancient Greeks also associated their goddess Astraea with daisy flowers. According to one Greek legend, during the Iron Age, humans began to make a lot of weapons and warfare increased. Incensed with the violence, Zeus decided to destroy the world of men with a great flood. But before he did, the gods, who had been living on Earth, left. The goddess Astraea was the last to leave. Heartbroken at the loss of life, she asked Zeus to turn her into a star.

Eventually, the flood waters receded. But all that was left of the world was mud and slime. Seeing the destruction, Astraea wept, and her tears fell as stardust. When they hit the land, they turned into daisy flowers.2

Native American Daisy Meanings

For Native Americans, daisies, like sunflowers, are associated with the life-giving attributes of the sun. The Native Americans also eat the daisy seeds and they used to use their stalks as building materials.

Daisy Meaning in the United States

In the U.S., daisies are April birth flowers. They are associated with new beginnings, happiness, and lighthearted fun.

Celtic Daisy Meaning

For the ancient Celts, daisies brought protective powers and good luck to babies and young children.

Norse Daisy Mythology

The Vikings associated daisies with their goddess Freya, who was a fertility goddess and the guardian of new mothers.

Asia

In China and Japan, daisy flowers are associated with fidelity and eternal love.

Daisy Tattoo Meaning

A daisy tattoo is a great design for a tattoo because these flowers are relatively simple in composition, yet they symbolize many positive attributes. A daisy tattoo tells the world that you are lighthearted and look for the fun in life. It can also be an ideal symbol when you are starting something new in your life. While tattoos are highly personal to each individual, hopefully understanding the qualities that daisies represent will bring deeper meaning to your tattoo.
