"The Fruit of Love and Beauty"
Used in all manner of love magic; all parts being useful. The stones are often used as beads for love divination. I prefer to harvest resin, dehydrate them, polish and round them and pierce them as beads on necklaces worn solely during red magic.

"The Flower of Passion"
We all know well what the rose can do; everything. Red roses and pink roses are used in magic to draw love, my favorite kind!
Lily of the Valley, black lace elder flower, green elder flower, thyme flower, wild rose. Flowers who work sweetly together. That's what it's about, the harmony of things. All things in balance, preferably in harmony, a dance. I think everyone with green fingers has their own nice way of doing things. I like the flowery way. It's almost always about the love, or achievement, or beautiful things. I'm into that...
