What It Can Point To
- Rose Petals can be used for love, grief, softness and beauty work. In child-aware work, the limit is clear: children are present, so small objects, flame and strong scents need caution.
- If the material creates risk, do not dress it up as tradition. Use a simpler substitute.
- Choose the plain option that fits the room and the people living there.
- Do not use strong scent, smoke, loose powder or flame where it creates household risk. Keep materials away from mouths, eyes, skin irritation, children and animals.
- Dispose plainly. Bag it, wipe the surface, wash hands and do not leave materials in shared outdoor places where others must handle them.

Before You Decide
Read the ordinary cause first. Then read the pattern. If you skip the ordinary cause, you will scare yourself and call it intuition. I do not work that way.
