Roses are Red...

By Anonymous
I've always wondered why roses are the "go to" gift for Valentine's Day. I can remember my mom getting roses from my dad when I was a kid, Valentine's flowers being passed out in high school, and even co-workers get bouquets on this special day... but why?
The myth still believed by people today is that the  Emperor Claudius the third outlawed marriage so that young men would enjoy join his army, but Priest Valentine would still conduct marriages in secret as he believed deeply in love. Claudius eventually found out about Valentine and had him sentenced to death for disobeying the law. While in jail Valentine fell in love with the jailor's daughter.  Their love was shortlived as his death sentence soon came up. Before he was beheaded, he gave the girl a note and one red rose, hence the very first Valentine which came flowers.

Very sweet and romantic story, makes me want to buy roses for everyone! Try these eSutras "rose"  products today!

Mother Earth, Mother Nature, We the Children & Easter

By
Did you know the first Greek God was actually a Goddess?. he is Gaia, or Mother Earth, who created herself out of primordial chaos. From her fertile womb all life sprang, and unto Mother Earth all living things must return after their allotted span of life is over.  Gaia, as Mother Nature, personifies the entire ecosystem of Planet Earth.  Mother Nature is always working to achieve and maintain harmony, wholeness and balance within the environment. Mother Nature heals, nurtures and supports all life on this planet, and ultimately all life and health depend on Her. In time, Nature heals all ills. The way of Mother Gaia is the passive, feminine, Yin way of healing. All we need to do to regain our health is to return to the bosom of Mother Nature and live in accordance with Her laws. The Gaia archetype underlies all notions of the Nature Cure. Mother Nature is a healing goddess for the ancients whose glory was celebrated each spring, long before organized religion came into...
