Symbolism of The Holy Trinity as Flowers
Thanks to the Sorellas https://deanic.com is looking fabulous. Demeter and Persephone is one of my favourite illustrations and is essential to our faith.
I have redesigned the logo graphic to reflect an adapted chant from the Janite Tradition:
Hail, Deantha Vespera: Divine Flower of the Evening, Life & Source of All, be with us.
Hail, Rosa Coeli: Rose of Heaven of the Noon-tide, Light & Essence of Creation, be with us.
Hail, Rosa Simpla: Humble, Simple, Pure, Love & Soul of the World, be with us.
The Great Mother as Deantha Vespera, which means Divine Flower of the Evening.The five petaled Deantha (or Dianthus) flower, the species in the graphic being called EverLast.It is the darkest flower.

The Celestial Mother as "the white Rose, the rose of pure love which is "unfolding and everlasting, which changes not nor ever shall change." The white rose is also seen as creator and sustainer of the universe, and is thus a symbol of the Mother. The rose-garden is a representation of paradise, and some have imagined an endless sequence of rose in rose-garden, rose-garden in the heart of the rose, each movement 'further in' moving toward greater perfection and intensity of experience." Page 27 of TCA issue 3 http://www.oxfordgoddessrevivalarchive.org/cms/items/show/75 The species in the graphic being called White Heaven.
The Holy Daughter as the Rosa Simpla / simple wild rose or briar-rose or Rosa Canina / dog rose, "The five petals of the wild rose have an obvious correlation with the five points of the [regular Pentagram], and thus with the five Mysteries of the Cosmic Drama... This rose has also been seen as a type of the human soul, aspiring for fulfillment in the multi-foliate Rose of the Divine, and exemplifying the transcendent virtues of simplicity and humility. The wild rose has also been associated with the similarly five-petaled apple-blossom, and, like the apple, has been held as a symbol of immortality."
