Demeter

Demeter
Looking to collect blessings for the upcoming harvest season, Demeter was always worshiped by local farmers. She was represented by the red poppy flower and thought to incorporate its hypnotic properties into her sacred rituals.
People at the time used to believe that the rich rosy tint of the flower petals optimistically brought about the promising nature of the cycle of life.
