The Pacific Dogwood was known as the goddess of beauty and grace. She was revered for her delicate white flowers, which bloomed in the spring and were said to bring good luck to those who found them. She was also the goddess of love, with her flowers often used as a symbol of devotion. Her wood was used for decorative carvings and musical instruments, and it was said that the sound of her wood carried the voices of the gods. She was often depicted holding a harp made from her own wood, and was surrounded by a halo of light.
