6/26/2008 - Peony of Luck and Happiness
Peonies can help counter bad luck and bring happiness. If you feel luck has turned against you, or you have been through a period of depression and unhappiness here is how you can release the negativity.
Buy a bunch of peonies or pluck one from your yard, or if there are any growing wildly around you. Sleep with the flowers next to you one whole night. Before you get out of bed, imagine a great weight lifting from you and look at the peony.
Take the flower to a bridge or if you can manage go out on a boat with the flower. The peony has great influence in placating unhappy emotions symbolized by water. Let the flower fall into the water and see your bad luck falling away with it.
Always buy peonies when they are in season or grow them for luck.
