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 which are also of so high a quality that they are ideal as printable Valentines cards.
