Bird of Paradise assists us with what we seek above us or before us but it also reminds us to be very careful of unhealthy competitiveness which will likely lead to self-destruction.
For those looking for new opportunities, it really is a perfect flower to stir these energies up for you and illuminate ways for you that you may never of thought possible.
One word of caution, especially for those working with Bird of Paradise magickally, the flower is an imitator, one that looks like something it is not. Be careful that what you are working towards, wishing or casting for is really what is seems to be. Often Bird of Paradise also comes to us to remind us to trust our intuition.
bunches of blessings,
