about

Inspired by a fascinating essay I recently read about roses written by Peter Grey.

Two images struck me from the essay:

1. It told of how influenced by Sufi teachings the Templars, the warrior monks of the Crusades, would keep rose gardens within their monasteries.

2. It also told of an obscure legend regarding the rose's occult status as a symbol of secrecy... Cupid once bribed Harpocrates with a rose to not tell of Venus' affairs.
In remembrance of this the ancient Romans would sometimes hang a rose over their couch to signify that anything taking place under it was to remain a secret, or Sub Rosa if you will.

So here's to the ultimate yonic symbol, with a smoldering history of mystery, the rose.

In Nomine Babalon... Our lady of the Red Rose.
