Historic Wedding Flowers + Plants
Roses have been the flower of choice for Western weddings pretty much forever, and with good reason. The rose is associated with several ancient goddesses of sex, fertility, and/or romance, such as Inanna, Ishtar, Aphrodite, and Venus. (Later, medieval Christians would also associate this flower with the Virgin Mary.) Including the goddess’s flowers in a wedding may have been a way of invoking her blessing on the union. Sappho called rose “Queen of the Flowers.” Roses are held in a high regard in pretty much every culture with access to them. They’re strongly associated not only with love, but also with beauty, wholeness, blessings, and even spirituality. Rose was included in wedding celebrations in Ancient Hellos (Greece) and Rome. It is associated with the planet Venus and the water element. Wheat was also a popular inclusion in weddings in ancient Greece and Rome. Hellenic brides would carry sheaths of wheat or another grain to invoke fertility and good fortune. Wheat was strongly associated with agrarian goddesses like Demeter, Persephone, Ceres, and Proserpina. Carrying wheat may also have been a way of expressing a wish for the marriage to produce many children. Pliny the Elder explicitly says in his Natural History that wheat was included in weddings to honor Ceres. In modern occult systems, wheat is associated with fertility, the conception of children, and wealth. It is associated with the planet Venus and the element of earth. Olive branches also featured in Hellenic weddings. Olive was an important crop in the ancient Mediterranean, and olive branches were a symbol of peace and friendship. Olive was also used in the victors’ crowns in the Olympic Games. In Athens, the olive tree was a symbol of Athena. It was also carried by worshipers of Apollo when they visited the Oracle at Delphi. Olive was also important to the Romans, who associated it with Mars in his aspect as a protector of peace. In modern magic traditions, olive is associated with beauty, healing, stamina, wealth, fertility, protection and of course, peace. It is associated with the sun and the fire element. Orange blossoms were included in Hellenic weddings as a sign of happiness. These strongly scented white flowers also sometimes appeared in Roman weddings. Thousands of years later, Queen Victoria wore a crown of orange blossoms at her wedding, but for her they were a symbol of chastity. In modern systems, orange is associated with joy, partnership, sweetness, and good luck. It is associated with the sun and the fire element. Hawthorn appeared in weddings in ancient Rome. Pliny the Elder said that Roman bridal processions included a hawthorn torch dedicated to the goddess Ceres. In Rome, hawthorn was more generally associated with love and good luck. In Celtic cultures, especially Ireland, hawthorn was believed to be a fairy tree. For this reason, cutting a hawthorn tree or bringing hawthorn branches inside was considered bad luck. The blooming of hawthorn trees was used to determine the date of Bealtaine, and hawthorn boughs were often decorated with flowers, ribbons, and egg shells to make a May bush, which was placed by the front door for good luck. In Britain, hawthorn wood was used to carve maypoles. Hawthorn flowers may be especially appropriate for a May wedding or handfasting. In modern occultism, hawthorn is associated with protection, healing (especially healing the heart), romantic love, fertility, granting wishes, and happiness. It is still strongly associated with weddings and marriage. It is associated with the planet Mars and the fire element. Lotus may have featured in ancient Kemetic (Egyptian) weddings. The lotus was an important symbol in Kemetic religion, and was associated with the sun, rebirth, and the creation of the world. Lotus flowers featured in festivals to honor Hapi, the androgynous god of the Nile. The lotus is used in art to represent Upper Egypt. An Egyptian poem from 1100 BCE connects the lotus to marriage. Lotus flowers were also popular in ancient Chinese weddings, and they’re still used by some Chinese couples today. In Chinese culture, lotus represents purity, honor, and long life. In modern traditions, lotus is associated with protection, spirituality, and blessings. It is associated with the moon and the water element. Yellow flowers were used in pre-Christian Ireland for blessings and protection. The exact flower used for these rituals is not specified, so it seems like the color was what mattered. Modern pagans looking to carry on this tradition have lots of yellow flowers to choose from. Some popular choices include yellow roses (see above), yellow amaryllis (associated with creativity, playfulness, and joy), chrysanthemum (associated with long life, optimism, and protection), marigold (associated with happiness, rebirth, and vitality), and/or daffodils (associated with love, fertility, and luck).

Reviews for "Dive Eagles Mascot Plush: A Collectible Item for Die-Hard Fans"
1. John - 2/5 - The Dive eagles mascot plush was a huge disappointment for me. The materials used in its construction were of very poor quality. The seams were poorly stitched, and the overall craftsmanship was lacking. Additionally, the design of the mascot did not accurately represent the actual Dive eagles mascot. I was expecting a more realistic and detailed plush toy, but what I received fell short of my expectations. Overall, I would not recommend this product to other Dive eagles fans or collectors looking for a quality mascot plush.
2. Emily - 1/5 - I was extremely dissatisfied with the Dive eagles mascot plush. First of all, the colors were way off. The blue was much lighter than the actual team color, and the details on the mascot looked cheap and poorly painted. The stuffing inside the plush toy was also lumpy and uneven, making it look and feel very awkward. It's a shame because I was really excited to add this mascot plush to my Dive eagles collection, but it turned out to be a big letdown. Save your money and look for a better quality product elsewhere.
3. Sarah - 3/5 - While I was not completely thrilled with the Dive eagles mascot plush, it wasn't a total disaster. The overall appearance of the plush toy was decent, but I expected more attention to detail for the price. The fabric used was soft, but I found a few loose threads that made me question its durability. The size of the plush was also smaller than I anticipated, so it didn't make as much of an impact as I had hoped. If you're not too particular about the quality and just want a basic Dive eagles mascot plush, then this might work for you. However, if you're looking for something more impressive, I suggest looking elsewhere.
