Thanks, all who replied. Annabeth doesn’t live here, but we’ll pass your comments along. It’s interesting what you say about Wisteria, Elly. To me it feels like an extremely nostalgic vine–the very essence of old-fashionedness. Donna

I have a Lilac essence in my range and over the years have used it particularly for healing inner child stuff. I find all Lilacs particularly helpful for that and for use with children.
For the healing crisis described above, I would have recommended Wisteria which is perfect for the above-mentioned issues.

This is a beautiful article, Annabeth. Thank you so much for sharing your feelings about aging and your memories of your grandmother. Like Anne, I had quite a few “Ah, yes” moments, too.

Scott Cunningham, herbalist, says Lilac falls under the rulership of Venus, goddess of beauty and love.

In the language of flowers, purple lilacs represent the first emotions of love and white lilacs represent youthful innocence.
