Lilies: Found almost exclusively in annunciation scenes, the lily symbolizes Mary’s purity. In some accounts the golden anthers in the center of the flower represent the “radiance of her soul”.

mythology aesthetic: angel
“Angels are usually depicted as having the shape of human beings of extraordinary beauty; they are often identified using the symbols of bird wings, halos, and light.”
i. “Did you ever notice how in the Bible, when ever God needed to punish someone, or make an example, or whenever God needed a killing, he sent an angel? Did you ever wonder what a creature like that must be like? A whole existence spent praising your God, but always with one wing dipped in blood. Would you ever really want to see an angel?” – THOMAS DAGGETT, THE PROPHECY
ii. “…for beauty is nothing but the onset of terror we’re still just able to bear, and we admire it because it calmly disdains to destroy us. Every angel is terrifying.” – RAINER MARIA RILKE, THE DUINO ELEGIES
