43. PASSIONFLOWER
- Surrender -
Passiflora incarnata

sacrifice, surrender, choosing growth, trust-
ing discernment, rituals of letting go

Passionflower, a precious botanical native to
Central and South America, was named for the Pas-
sion of Christ—referring to his suffering and death
by Roman Catholic priests in the 1500s.

To this day Passionflower is used by many sha-
mans in floral baths to calm and cleanse the spirit.
Passionflower is considered a bridge to “Christ con-
sciousness,” which assists in direct communication
with the mythical voice within. It was also used as
an incense to alter the energy of spaces that were
stressed, traumatized, or disrupted. Passionflower
is ruled by the mighty powers of Neptune, the
planet of spiritual realization, religious experiences,
the spirit world, and maya, the great illusion.

Passionflower symbolizes surrender, sac-
rifice, and the crucifixion of the ego. Passionflower
resembles the need to sacrifice in order to make space
and move forward. The all-seeing double headed
Owl symbolizes the great understanding perceived
from both sides, whether it be upside down or in-
side out, and bestows Goddess Passionflower with
unseen truths as she performs rituals for letting go.
Owl is symbolic of discernment and able to light up
what needs to be seen. Passionflower today might re-
flect the need to suspend actions that aren’t aligned
to your spiritual path. Are there certain decisions or
action you’ve made that you must sacrifice in order
to reassess your direction? Honor your intuition. It’s
okay if projects or original ideas come to an unex-
pected halt. Discernment is key to experience greater
truth and opportunities.

Namaste 🙏🏻
