Flower Psychometry

Flower psychometry is just psychometry on flowers. If someone was to ask me to give them a flower psychometry reading, I would use interpretation of symbolism. That is also how I work for giving Tarot readings.

Symbolism

When you pick a flower, what catches your attention? The blossom? The stalk? The leaves? Do you like to pick freshly blossomed flowers, flowers with closed blooms, or flowers with buds that haven't opened yet? Do you have a preference for young, fresh flowers or for weary, limp, dead ones?  Now I will explain how symbolism can be used for flower psychometry. 

The blossom

Say you picked a flower. A young, spritely-looking dandelion. Imagine what its flower looks like. It is round with yellow 'teeth' around its edges. It feels soft and edible. Anyway, now ask yourself what the flower means for you. If you are aware of its history and uses you might find this easier. But what does it represent for you, if anything? Think about the shape: it is circular, like the sun is. The sun is what we need in order to live. Its light helps us to see ('enlightenment'); it is the opposite of the moon. The moon represents the feminine in spirituality whilst the sun represents the masculine. Once you get going with this type of symbolism, you can begin to understand it and apply that type of 'logic' or 'meaning' to the flower. It is not literal, but more metaphorical. A castle is like a human body, because it needs cleansing (think of all the spider webs it must have!). A garage is like one's own mind, because it is full of garbage, much of which we don't need anymore (outdated beliefs for instance - I'm sure some people still believe the Earth is flat and imagine how out-dated that idea is [I'm only joking!]). In the same way, we can use the image of the dandelion to represent something else, such as the sun. The sun is a symbol for enlightenment, or could be seen in that way. 

The stalk

     Hopefully you have got the hang on symbolism of the blossom, but now we will focus on the symbolism of the stalk. The condition of the stalk is important, because it represents one's life path. Not literally, but symbolically. If it is straight, then there isn't really much to say about the person's lifepath: their destiny-to-be is pretty straight-forward. However, if it is slightly bendy, then it could be interpreted to mean that their are some 'corners' to one's life path - some unexpected opportunities if after the bend the stalk goes upwards, or some set-backs if after the bend the stalk goes downwards. Usually, the stalk should be read going upwards from the bottom of the stalk or roots, up towards the flower itself. So if there are some bends downwards, these would be some downward bits noticed as you look up the stalk. If the stalk is weak, then it could be interpreted to mean that the lifepath is, currently faulty, poorly-established, or not substantially determined. Perhaps the lifepath followed at the moment is not the one it will be in the future. The opposite could be meant for if the stalk appears to be strong.

The leaves

Leaves represent opportunities in life. If the stalk has any leaves, their position may

be important. Their number is important. Symbolically, a few leaves could indicate a few different paths one could take. A couple mean only one or two different possible options. No leaves means that there are no other opportunities, regardless of whether the person knows what their lifepath is or will be. The shape of the leaves could also mean something, too. The positions though are of some importance symbolically, as well. If the leaves are at the top, then it might mean that the opportunities are towards the times when the person has found their destiny. Near the roots, they should have found their possible avenues early on in life.

The roots

The roots, according to a psychic whose circle I did a couple of years ago, are where the psychometry reading should start. They represent the beginning - not necessarily the person's birth - but rather, the beginning of their lifepath. Now, the condition of the roots may be important, as well as how many roots. The roots symbolise directions. Direction, that is, in life. Should I take Path A? Path B? Or Path C? Essentially, they represent choices. Some choices may be easier to pursue than others - such roots that may represent these would appear straight. More tricky choices are the roots that aren't so straight. 

Conclusion

Flower psychometry will not give a precise, specific, or unique description of a person, their character, destiny or life. It may be helpful for some who are not sure about what their life path is, but for others, it isn't helpful at all. Psychics and spiritualists will find it amazing, but for sceptics, it is just another practice of 'cold reading', etc. Indeed, it is extraordinary how it is possible to give people 'readings' about themselves from just holding a flower. From the utilisation of deceptive techniques as a means to mimic a typical psychic or psychometric reading, to delivering information based on the interpretation of what the different parts mean symbolically - using one's own personal vocabulary of symbolical meanings - to just giving information based on what appears randomly in one's head, the myriad of ways that psychometry can be done is extraordinary. Not amazing, but extraordinary.
