Crape Myrtle
Hello. I live in the Carolinas, and one tree I see a lot down here is the Crape Myrtle. Does anyone know the magical significance of this tree. I have to trim it every year, and have considered using the branches as wand material.

Re: Crape Myrtle
I have wondered this as well. We have a beautiful one here. It is really special because it is a trimming from part of my fiance's sister's favorite tree. She died of cancer when she was 19. I'll try to get a pic of it tomorrow.
Btw, im in Western NC.

I am SO glad you said Handfasting ceremonies! I am getting married soon so my fiance will be thrilled that his sister's tree can be used in our Handfasting.ladybloodie wrote:strength stability Enduring Partnerships, Graceful Change, Inspiration, Stillness, Youthfulness Protects you against misplace anger perfect in Hand fasting ceremonies

Re: Crape Myrtle
Ooooo I love crepe myrtle, I think the bark is very sensual, it's so smooth and curvy, and it frequently has great color variation. I think it should have similar qualities to Myrtle.
Ladybloodie has all the qualities ...I like that is a love "preserver". Myrtle is a feminine plant and has association with water, it is assigned to the planet Venus. Goddesses of myrtle are, Venus, Artemis, Aphrodite, Hathor, Astarte, Ashtoreth, Marian.
Mine isn't blooming anymore, but here's a pick of the bark...
Blessings, Firebird

Re: Crape Myrtle
That's beautiful firebird! I completely forgot to snap a pic of mine. I call it a teenager since it's just now getting larger. Fiance planted it about 7 years ago when he moved in here. The past 2 years it has really shot up.
