Hello! I am getting a very strong association w/Sigyn and Chrysanthemums, and “Chrysanthemum stone,” to the point that I am wondering if I have seen someone talk about these before?

Hi,

It’s not originally found in the lore or anything, as, unfortunately, we barely have anything left regarding Sigyn in the lore.

But as I’m sure you’re aware, we’re not limited to using symbols found in the lore in our personal practices. I was able to find a couple UPG-based correspondence lists that included chrysanthemums using Google. I’m pretty sure this one in particular was floating around Tumblr at one point. Apparently the
chrysanthemum

was a symbol of fidelity in some of those Victorian flower languages.

You don’t need other people’s approval to give something as an offering, though. Sometimes we end up with unusual personal associations because of our individual backgrounds and tastes, and there’s nothing wrong with leveraging that stuff in order to connect better with a deity. Unless you have some reason to believe it would be offensive to the god in question or you’re presenting a personal association as a universal/historical thing, you aren’t hurting anyone.
