A Blue Rose.
How many of us have actually seen a blue rose? How many of us were lucky enough to touch a blue rose? To smell a blue rose? I bet a thousand stars that none of us have actually done any of the above. The reason behind this is very simple. A blue rose doesn't exist. It never graced Earth with its presence.
The pigment which causes the blue color of a rose is absent naturally.
It is human nature to reach the unreachable, to gain the unattainable, to dream of the undreamed. So a "Blue Rose" became the symbol of mystery, unattainable, the dark side of life, the magic, the hope that allows to dream the undreamed. It stands for the deepest canyon of our imagination.
A blue rose, the desire to have it all.
This symbolism of the mystifying element of life has been mentioned in literature and folklore of various cultures.
One of the mentions can be found in ancient Chinese folklore.
It is a story of a beautiful and strong-headed princess who desired to find love. Her father, the king of his kingdom wanted his daughter to get married and forced her to get married. The princess had to succumb to her father's wishes since good princesses never refuse, but she was strong-headed and was known for her knowledge and wisdom across the kingdom. She presented her father with an agreement, a deal. She said that she being the daughter of her father, the strong and majestic king, she deserved the best of best. So, she will only marry the one who can present her with a blue rose. The king agreed and word of this agreement flew across faraway lands. Suitors from all around the world wanted to marry the princess. One suitor, presented the princess with a white rose painted blue. The princess knew that he was deceiving her with a dyed white rose. Angrily, she refused him. The next suitor presented her with a blue rose sculpted by the bluest of sapphire ever to be seen. The princess refused him as well since it was the work of a human and not of the almighty god above. Another suitor visited a witch who gave him an illusion spell of a blue rose. When the suitor presented the princess with the illusion spell she refused him since he was trying to deceive her. Suitors came and went since no one could give the princess what she desired. One night she was taking a walk in her garden when she heard someone singing in the garden. She followed the voice and found the gardener's son singing a song about love. The princess was dazed by his heavenly melody and sat there for hours listening to his songs about his love for the princess. The princess was really touched by his songs and she sang him a song telling him about the story of the blue rose while her heart fluttered in her heart. The next morning, the gardener's song entered the court with a white rose, freshly plucked from the garden. When the rose was presented to the princess she smiled and said "This is a blue rose". The entire court screamed that it was a white rose but the princess was known for her knowledge and wisdom. So the king announced that the rose was indeed blue because his daughter said so. The princess got married to the gardener's son, her lover.
The story ends there. The blue symbolized the rarest of rare, the unattainable in this story.
Another mention was found in a story named "The thief of Baghdad" where it was mentioned if you ever smelled a blue rose, you will forget everything.
Another important cultural mention of The blue rose involves Christianity.
The order of the blue rose.
Legend says, that Mary Magdalene, also known as Miriam ( in Armenian) formed this order right after the crucifixion of her beloved husband, Yashua ( translated to Jesus in English).

Mary Magdalene (Miriam)
Miriam and Yashua were co-messiah. They were married legally in Cana. Miriam( Mary Magdalene) was the rightful successor to Yahshua( Jesus). In many ancient scriptures, they were also addressed as Lord and Lady Christ. They walked on earth more than 2,000 years ago. The night Miriam conceived Yashua's child, known as the "Holy grail child", Yashua gifted his beloved Miriam a Blue Rose. The blue rose stood as a symbol of hope in Miriam's heart. She wore the blue rose in her hair when she conceived " The holy grail" Child.
The very next morning, Yashua was arrested and crucified. Since the weight of the church and followers fell on Miriam's shoulder, she became the next target for the male followers of Yahshua. In the patriarchal society, the male followers refused to follow a woman, who carriers the heir of Yahshua. To protect herself and her baby, she formed the order of the blue rose with her closest followers. She used the blue rose given to her by her beloved Yashua to initiate the order, hence the name. Among her followers were some who belonged to an ancient group of people, known as the Essence of essences. The closest group of Miriam's followers followed her to France, where they formed a group known as the Order of Magdalene. In France was where she had her daughter and then the bloodline was lost in time. The rest of her followers fled to various continents across the globe. The blue rose given to Miriam was saved by her dried and preserved and was used in all the rituals of the Order of the blue rose.
The Esseners.
The ancient esseners are known to be the extraordinary people to grace Earth. They were based in ancient Israel and ancient Egypt.
They were commonly known as healers. In Israel, they were called "Assaya". In Egypt, they were known as " Therapeutae" From which the word "therapist" Was derived. They knew some magic, some mystical way of living which helped them to heal themselves and the others. They were known to live for more than a hundred years, while the others who were not essensners would only live up to the age of forty-two. The esseners migrated to various continents around the globe when due to some unknown reason they decided to went underground.
In the very early 1970s, a teenager David "Day" Came across a very old man, a sage who recently migrated to America from Egypt. That sage was known as "Malachi". Malachi took Day under his wing and taught him everything. The day got to know the secrets of the esseners and about the order of blue rose which was passed on into esseners as well. Soon, Malachi decided that Day was a worthy successor.
A day later opened the modern Essence church of Christ and the Order of the blue rose.
Their headquarters are based in a natural paradise compound in triangle Park in Oregon, USA.
They believe that the fact that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute was a gross mistake made by the Catholic Church. They are the true followers of Mary Magdalene, the members of the Order Of the Blue Rose.
They don't hold any services, like a normal church but they do give lessons about the esseners and the order of the blue rose in a program known as the Essence Order of the Blue Rose.
The blue rose. It holds the keys to many mysteries which of unlocked will change our world. Even though we are not lucky as Lady Christ to see a blue rose, scientists in the year 2004 created a blue rose that contained a pigment known as delphinidin with the help of genetic engineering.

I am sure you must have noticed the name of this page by now. "The blue rose society" And as the name suggests we want to stay true to the symbolism of the blue rose, to write about the mysteries that are forgotten, to write about the dark side of life, to write about the unattainable, the undreamed of.
If you are interested in knowing about the mysteries and dark side of life, I highly suggest you subscribe to this blog. I hope you enjoyed this blog and I will see you guys the next time.
With love, Anisha ❤
