Flower Symbolism – Tea Tree and Genista – March 13, 2022

When I walked into Met Market yesterday, I couldn’t walk out with just the buttercups and calla lily, the leptospermum (tea tree) keeps calling to me.

Spiritual: The Old Testament references the Juniper Tree several times as the broom tree, a variety of Juniper that grows in Palestine. The broom tree was known to cleanse, purify and eliminate what is not true. source: Miracles Botanical.com

The branches and berries of the Juniper, a coniferous tree, have been used for medicinal and spiritual purposes since ancient times.

The Old Testament includes several references to the juniper tree including Psalms 120:4.

This passage can be looked at in several ways, one being that the juniper was used to cleanse, purify and eliminate that which is false and negative.
