Message from Above
Feathered friends can bring more than good cheer to a garden. Some believe that local birds also carry meaning and strength to those who gaze at them. The Dove, for example, can encourage the ability to mourn the past and bring new things to life. The Pigeon represents love and fertility. The Red-tailed Hawk is thought to carry messages from the creator. Draw them in with a comfortable "home" and quality seed.

KissingFrogs to Find a Prince
The Brothers Grimm may not have known that their popular story - of a spoiled princess who befriends a frog (who happens to
"really" be a handsome prince) - would serve as encouragement
to women (and frog-like men) the world over.

A Mass of Possibilities
Water, an entirely shapeless element on its own, perfectly forms to any design of that which surrounds it. Water reminds us of unrealized potential; it is thus the origin of all things new. Focus on the fluidity of water when in search of fresh beginnings.

The Sanctity of the Lily
The fleur de lis ("lily flower" in French) has long stood as a sign of purity. Lore dictates that the flower sprung from Eve's tears as
she fled the Garden of Eden; it was also the flower of the Greek moon goddess, Hera. In more recent history, the fluer de lis was associated with French royalty.
