The Sly Motive of the Innocent Looking Angels
on Valentines Cards
Many
vintage Valentine cards feature sweet little angels
typically naked or covering their privates with a strategically
well placed piece of cloth. (You know, full heads on nakedness
wouldn't go well in the old uptight Victorian England in the
1900s)
Anyway, if you see an angel on a Valentines Day card that is
holding a bow and arrow, you are probably looking at a symbolic
representation of the god Cupid.
The sweet Cupid like figure has two mythological roots – a
Roman and Greek.
In Roman mythology Cupid (or Amor) is the
son of Venus (Goddess of love and beauty). Cupid is also all
about love but he is less platonic that his famous mother. You
see, Cupid is the God of passionate love, affectionate desire
and eroticism.
In Greek mythology our sweet, round and
well-nourished angel is called Eros and anyone who happens to be
shot by one of Eros' piercing arrows will be filled with lust,
passion and desire.
A hundred plus years ago the men were always the 'hunters' –
the ones to send
Valentines Day cards to the women they fancied. For a woman
to send a man Valentine greeting would have been a bit too bold
back in the Victorian days.
Therefore on
Valentine pictures the happy chubby Cupid will often be
aiming at the woman in order for her to finally open her eyes
get caught by a hurricane of desire for the lucky man who sent
the card.
The Meaning of the Rose and a Guide to
Finding the Right Color
Just like small angels, the rose is a very popular
mythological symbol.
The goddess of love and beauty, Venus (in Roman mythology),
Aphrodite (in Greek mythology) was really into roses. So much so
that that a rose was her 'earthy' representation or symbol.
Now if you're considering sending the person of your dreams
one or a few roses, it might be wise to get yourself acquainted
with the symbolic meaning of their colors.
You see, sending a yellow rose conveys entirely different
intentions than sending your prospected lover a pink or red
rose.
And surely, you don't want to say "I want to be your friend"
when you actually mean, "God, I fancy you and want you now!"
So enlighten yourself and find out the the meaning of the
color of the roses:
The symbolic meaning of red roses
on Valentines: "I hold you dear and love you! Will you
be mine for Valentine?"
The symbolic meaning of deep
pink roses or coral roses on Valentines: "Geez, you're
hot! I want you … now!"
The symbolic meaning of light
pink roses on Valentines: "You're a real cutie
pie! Will you be my sweetheart?"
The symbolic meaning of white roses on Valentines:
"You're serene like an angel. May I have the pleasure
of gallantly escorting you on Valentine's Day?"
The symbolic meaning of yellow
roses on Valentines: "You're my best friend,
like a sister to me. Shall we drop the whole senseless Valentine
stuff, drink a beer and watch a movie?"
The symbolic meaning of blue roses
on Valentines: "I don't know why I bother, you're
unattainable and too good for me anyway!"
Okay enough talk for now!
Leaving the scene for some lovely Valentine Cards – some of
