Recycle Valentine Flowers for Offerings

Many of you will be receiving, or giving flowers for Valentine Days. Once those flowers are spent I encourage you to recycle them to use as offerings for a later date. Not all flowers will work. Carnations, statice, even roses can be used.

As I noted in Sacred Sites in North Star Country you should always try and bring an offering with you when you visit a sacred site. It is not so much what you bring, but that you bring something. Dried flowers are an excellent choice.

You can also go to a florist and ask for spent flowers; particularly around Valentine's day because it is one of the busiest days of their year. 

Today I went to Markowitz Florist in Syracuse, NY to pick up some spent flowers. This is thanks to Jini Cerio, owner operator. Jini books speakers for the Finger Lakes Dowsers and has spoken at the American Society of Dowsers. Today was one of the first time's I remember seeing Jini without a pendulum in her hand. Clearly she was jammed.

Thanks for the flowers, Jini. We will put them to good use.
