When it comes to interpreting the spiritual meaning of flowers, plants, trees, or other allies, it is first important to listen to your own inner guidance and intuition. In the case of lilies, this flower is often associated with spiritual symbolism, but its meaning can vary depending on the culture and context. On top of that, flowers belonging to the abundant Lily family also carry different meanings and fulfill many purposes.
Generally, Lily flowers are understood to mirror the unity between spiritual and material realms. Therefore, they are associated with both feminine and masculine characteristics and are often seen at the balancing time of Equinox (or Easter). In Christian traditions, the Lily is often associated with the Virgin Mary and is a symbol of her purity, innocence, and grace. The Lily is also seen as a symbol of the resurrection of both Spring, Goddess Oestre, and in Christianity, Jesus.
In some Eastern cultures, the Lily is associated with enlightenment, self-love, and spiritual growth. It is also considered a symbol of wisdom and a reminder to seek inner beauty and truth.
Stargazer Lily symbolizes the unconditional love flowing towards each and every one of us from the Universe. This beautiful originally pinkish-red Lily encourages us to let down the barriers surrounding the heart and welcome the joy and power of self-love. By doing so, we surrender the fear of not being “enough” and we accept ourselves, the life that runs within us, and the beauty that shines all around us.
Calla Lily represents the power of intimacy and it brings both feminine and masculine energy together. With its large bulbs, Calla Lily holds the deep feelings within the roots, while the beautiful white cup that flowers, becomes the chalice, or in some ways, its own holy grail.
In a world that separates the spiritual from the sexual, Calla Lily builds the bridge between these two, balancing one’s spiritual-sexual nature while gently reuniting masculine and feminine principles within the individual. Calla Lily enlightens lovers to offer their complete selves to their beloved and fully embrace their partner from within.
In the language of flowers, the Lily can also represent devotion, humility, and rebirth. The color of the lily can also affect its spiritual meaning. For example, white lilies symbolize purity and innocence, while yellow lilies symbolize happiness and gratitude.
Overall, the spiritual meaning of the lily can vary depending on the cultural and personal context. However, it is generally associated with a balance of masculine & feminine, rebirth, purity, beauty, and spiritual growth.
