Is orchid a negative energy?

No, it's a positive energy if you are open to it.

In ancient times, orchids were an important ingredient in love potions. Long a fertility symbol and aphrodisiac, orchids were also associated with abundance and good luck.

The orchid has several deep and long-standing meanings. Ironically, some of those meanings are overtly masculine in nature, while others are feminine.

On the masculine side, the name “orchis” itself stems from the Greek word meaning testicle, and is associated with the flower because of the shape of the tuberoids which grow on the roots. Though approximately 30,000 species of orchids exist, many have an erect stem in the center which resembles a phallus. Among multiple meanings, one meaning the Chinese associate with the orchid is the “Perfect Man.”



On the feminine side, the orchid is also a symbol of beauty, charm, and refinement.

Perhaps it is those meanings which combine the masculine and feminine that best represent the orchid flower. In Confucian teachings, the orchid was the symbol for numerous progeny. It was considered a love potion and aphrodisiac in many countries, including Egypt, Germany, China, and Africa.

Most interpretations associated with the orchid relate to sexuality and procreation.



Orchids lead us to the light within. That part of us we often fear more than our darkness.



As orchids can awaken us to our evolutionary gifts and clear illusion, they ground us in earthly life. They spiritualize our sexuality with a focus on the heart and open us to deeper union with ourselves and others. They also have the ability to focus our energy towards wholeness and higher understanding (intuition).

Is orchid a negative energy?
I think no.
Reply:No. The Orchid is a symbol of perfection. For centuries, the orchid has been a symbol of love, luxury and beauty. To the early Greeks, the orchid represented virility, and the Chinese called it "the plant of the king's fragrance." During the Middle Ages, the orchid was considered an aphrodisiac and was used in love potions.



In Greek culture, parents believed they could control the sex of their unborn children with orchid roots. If the father ate large, new tubers, the child would be male; if the mother ate small tubers, the child would be female. European scholars believed that orchids sprang from ground on which animals had bred. They were thought to be the food of satyrs and powerful aphrodisiacs. In ancient China and Japan they were revered for their esthetic and artistic value. Confucius compared the orchid flower to the superior man and its scent to the pleasures of friendship. In modern times the genus Paphiopedilum was named for Phaphos, a temple where the love goddess Aphrodite was worshipped.



Orchids have been used as a source of food, medicines, religious charms, adhesives, perfumes, straw, and flavorings—vanilla being the most widespread—as well as aphrodisiacs. They are thought to cure fever, arthritis, dysentery, cough, headaches, and wounds in many parts of the world. They are made into a remedy for sick elephants in Malaysia and a kind of ice cream in Turkey (where its name means “fox testicles”) that is said to prevent cholera, heal the spleen, and ease childbirth.
