Pomegranate trees have been commonly linked with good fortune, wishes, and prosperity. In some cultures, they are also regarded as symbols of fertility and divination. People believe that pomegranates can ward off evil spirits and cure blood-related problems. Some traditions see pomegranate trees as symbols of love and new beginnings because they connect us to the afterlife and our ancient history. Additionally, pomegranate flowers have also been used to symbolize rebirth and renewal. In ancient Greek mythology, the goddess Persephone was abducted by Hades and taken to the underworld. While there, she ate six pomegranate seeds, which bound her to the underworld for six months of the year. When she returned to the surface, the earth would bloom and spring would begin. Thus, pomegranate flowers became associated with the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. The pomegranate goes by many names including Carthage apple, grenadier, malicorio, pound garnet and is revered by Persephone, Ceres, Dionysus, Aphrodite Venus
