Flowers for Moura.

 Dear Reader,

I have a habit of keeping some manner of flowers on my altar as an offering. They're artificial flowers because as soon as flowers pop up in my garden they either get eaten by the deer or picked by the neighbors. And there's a good part of the year that snow just won't let them come up. Because I use artificial flowers, it meets the bloodless sacrifice requirement (it's a monetary one instead). I was taught the following flowers have these meanings which make them applicable to the time from Purple Monday to Hiatus.

Tweedia: spiritual growth, innocence, and grace (during the period between Purple Monday and Moura Day)

Pansies (purple): contrition, penance, grace, love (during the period between Moura Day and Kala)

Gladiola (purple): royalty, strength, grace (Kala through Hiatus)

Daffodils: Spring, rebirth, renewal (Eastre)
