The Order of the Blue Rose is believed to have its roots with the Essene Tribe and more specifically, Mari Magdalene. The Blue Rose is meant to be used by the sisters and brothers of the Rose to bring about healing.
Flowers have long been associated with enlightenment, and as the ancient Egyptians taught about the "Blue Lotus Retreat" - the Esssene tribe taught about Blue Rose healing. It is believed that both Mother Mary and Mari Magdalene were members of the Essenes, and that Mari Magdalene called her teachings "The Blue Rose".
Wherever the Essenes lived, people referred to them as “Healers”. The word ‘Essene’ stems from the Aramaic word ‘Assaya’, which means ‘Healer’. The Essenes were called ‘Therapeutae’, when they were in Egypt, and that is where the word ‘Therapist’ originates from. This form of healing is associated with Love and Compassion.
You may have a dream or a vision of a rose, and the color may tell you which order you belong to, or which Rose you need to learn more about! The Order of the Blue Rose was considered to be a special order for only the most faithful followers of those that followed the path known as The Essene Way. The Essenes believed that the Christ Ray is carried in both the feminine and masculine, therefore Mari Magdalene was considered to be the feminine Christ. The Essenes also believed in receiving direct knowledge from God. They achieved this through what is known as "The Sacred Marriage". It is the marriage of the male and female within.
After the crucifixion, many of Jesus’ followers wouldn't accept a woman as their leader. Therefore Mari Magdalene, while still in Israel, established her own teaching, and called it The Order of the Blue Rose, which was for those who remained faithful to her. She later fled to Egypt, and then by boat to France carrying the baby known as Sarah. She lived in the south of France, where she would meditate in a cave each day, where she would ascend with the angels. Eventually her "Order: came to be known as "The Order of the Magdalene".
The word Shoshana is sometimes translated as lily, but is also asssociated with the rose, and flowers in general. According to the Midrash, the word stems from "shesh" which means six, representing six petals. But there is some contraversey once again, as some say the six petals represent the outer ones, but that a shoshana truly has thirteen. The latter makes sense to me, as this is the number that represents "Love" and is the number of the Goddess, who is rgenerally represented by the rose.
The Blue Rose represents "a Loyal Friend" and it is believed that Christ (Yeshewah) gave Mari Magdalene a Blue Rose to wear in her hair, the day before he was crucified. This is also believed to be the same evening that Sarah was conceived.
Many of the Brothers and Sisters of the Light feel attuned to the Rose Ray and to using the vibrational healing of the Blue Rose during healing sessions. The White Rose represents the Divine Feminine, while the counterpart, the Ruby Ray, is associated with the Divine Mascuilne. When you mix the two rays you create The Rose Ray.
Shoshanayin,
is Hebrew for "The Eye of the Rose". Ayin in Hebrew means Eye. The eyes of all look to you with hope, and you provide them with their food in its proper time." (Psalm 145:14)
Eyes are our conduit to perceiving the wonders of G-d’s creation, and giving us insight into its workings. Additionally it refers to the “Eye of G-d” which sees all as he/she cares for his Chosen People. The term "Shoshanayin" means that you, as one of God's Chosen People, who are under the watch of the Divine Feminine, providing them with wisdom, knowledge, and healing.
