Thistle Cirsium vulgare (purple) For those with highly sensitive spiritual talents and feel they must be very guarded about their talents. This spills over into their life. Don't get too close to me - danger - warning - stay away! Life has taught Thistle personalities that they have to "protect" themselves, others and that life is dangerous and one should be on guard. On the other hand these individuals have AMAZING talents that could be used for much higher purposed while trusting their talents attract only well being and positive energies. This shift occurs when they surround themselves with light, love, and trusting the universe to work co-creatively with them working with higher energy realms. This essence is wonderful for those that feel that they have to fight for what is right, when right only needs to be focused on. There is no wrong, only right - negativity cannot exsist when the dominate thoughts are positive. The Thistle can either be a sword or a magic wand - that is what needs to be decided. Which is it you want to use your talents for? (research)
