Discover the vibrational wisdom and healing properties of your favorite flowers in this handy reference guide.
As I wrote in The Magic of Flowers: A Guide to Their Metaphysical Uses and Properties, “A flower is a manifestation of divine beauty and wisdom. And while each flower’s vibration is unique, what it expresses is universal: its available to all of us and is already a part of us. Flower magic, then, might be defined as employing a flower as a focal point for our intention to affect a desired positive change”
Below, you’ll find the abbreviated magical properties of each blossom featured in The Magic of Flowers. In the book, you’ll find a much more detailed explanation for each, along with a a wealth of flower spells, flower rituals, and flower-related healing practices.

When you say Black Eyed Susans are used to connect with transitioned loved ones, do you mean loved ones who are trandgender, or who are dead? It's a touch unclear, although I would assume your voice would suffice for the former…
Hello,
Thank you for all the information.
Hello, Lilly! You’re so welcome.
I love this website! Thank you so much for creating it. I am looking for a coven to join. Does this website have anything related to that? I want to begin practicing but I am apprehensive due to my lack in experience. Any advice for me? Thank you and blessed be!
Hi Elli! I’m glad you like the site. Thanks for the kind words. Well, The Good Vibe Tribe Online School of Magical Arts, which you can try for free, has a list of members around the world that you could contact to see if anyone would want to start a magical group in your area. (I’m not sure where you’re located, but there’s a chance you could find someone.) Otherwise (or additionally), I suggest attending local Pagan Pride events or classes at a local metaphysical store to begin meeting people in your neighborhood. You can find The Good Vibe Tribe on the homepage of this site, or in the shop.
