The Shasta Daisy 🌱 Archetype

A mandala-shaped flower expressing principles of a higher order

The Shasta Daisy flower essence is prepared from a vibrantly white hybrid daisy.

Its shape is one of a mandala, with a yellow center composed of many disk flowers, following the ordered harmony of the golden rule, a principle that pervades the whole of Nature, as well as the universe of which we are part. This circle of geometric harmony is framed by clear white ray flowers.

Among its many qualities as a flower essence, the Shasta Daisy helps us organize our thoughts in ways that take into account the bigger picture while integrating each one of its parts.

A journey of co-creation between humans and plants

The Shasta Daisy flower essence was one of the very first essences created by Richard Katz and Patricia Kaminski of the Flower Essence Society (FES), during the early years of their research beginning in 1979. At that time, this was the only essence they prepared from a cultivated plant variety, while all others were made with flowers that grew wild in the fields.

They told us during a class that whenever they had been initially called to prepare an essence from a cultivated variety, they would systematically try to substitute it for a wild species when available. However, in the case of the Shasta Daisy, the intuitive message has always been that this particular daisy was the right choice.

Many years later they understood why the inner message came to them so clearly and that this was the daisy with which this essence was meant to be prepared. Read the full blog post to discover why:
