THIS IS A PRE-ORDER WHICH WILL SHIP ON DECEMBER 20.
LIMITED STOCK. Because of the limited quantity, we ask that you buy no more than 1 lb at a time.
Each pouch of pure CRIOLLO cacao has 1/2 lb. of Kiskeyan kakawa grown, harvested, and processed by my family in Monte Plata, Dominican Republic. If you select the blend, it contains 1/2 lb of cacao & some herbs combined. Continue reading for more details.
There are 3 options available including
cacao gualla’o (out of stock)
cacao block
cacao blend
Cacao gualla’o as we know it in Kiskeya is not a fine powder but instead small granules grated from cacao balls which increase the potency & durability of the cacao. The granules are still small enough that at first glance it may appear like a fine powder; more details about that available on the info sheet which comes with your order. The cacao blend is adapted from a family recipe and contains cacao and herbal spices; all herbs in the blend are ground to a fine powder. Please ensure to select whether you want the blend or just the Kakawa on its own.
The accompanying information sheet features details on how to prepare drinks with the Cacao blend or the Cacao to ensure optimal integration of its potent mineral matrix, as well as a couple of recipes including the OG ‘xocoatl’ formulation and simple ways to work with the kakawa as is.
Cacao Cura is a single-origin product, ceremonial-grade, sun-dried, from the mountains, CRIOLLO, KOSHER. Cacao criollo contains very very small amounts of caffeine, so there are no jittery feelings with this one if used correctly.
the story:
For the past 9 years, I have been in consistent ceremony with Cacao sometimes sharing with friends and in local small group ceremonies. Cacao and chocolate is something my family and I have bonded over for as long as I can remember whether it was my grandma’s delicious hot chocolate or my uncle showing me the process of making the cacao into the much desired form of a bar. My days have been colored by the power this plant & its fruit have to open hearts and instill feelings of deeper intimacy & connection.
My family has been growing Cacao for several decades and my uncle who lives in the mountains on some old family land revived the tradition years ago. Known as Food of the Gods, Kakawa, as we loving call them, has too many benefits to enumerate in any one piece of writing about it, but one of their most widely recognized effects is its heart opening potential which puts us in contact with the Love radiance that emanates from within. The fruit has a clear, gentle, yet profound impact on the heart, inducing feelings of bliss, euphoria, and contentment. One may also feel more playful and lively after consumption as it activates brain activity and ‘wakes up’ the cardiovascular system without inducing anxiety or other forms of systemic irritability. The bliss chemical ‘Anandamide’ and love molecule / neurotransmitter PEA (phenethylamine) are celebrated for being powerful psychostimulants that work in tandem with the heart to prevent exacerbation of mood disorders and over time are shown to have a positive outcome.
Because of the times we find ourselves in globally, it seems Cacao is the medicine of the present and the future and is inviting us into mindful / heartful relation and consumption. When we dedicate ourselves to our healing processes, we are saying we love ourselves, and this is important because a deficit in self-love contributes to a ripple effect that influences our environment and the world in ways that are incoherent and, potentially, unnecessarily destructive. Theobroma (cacao) enhances feelings of creativity and attunement to our creative expression, thereby also instilling within us the discipline and focus required to move through the tasks required to make tangible an idea or inspiration.
This is a very nutrient-dense food which contains a wide array of vitamins and minerals, some which are fat-soluble, so the best cacao drink preparations contain some form of fat in them including but not limited to some favorites — coconut oil and ghee. This and much more is expanded upon in the document that is sent with your purchase. One of the minerals that kakaw is very high in is magnesium — also a mineral that a lot of people in modern society are deficient in due to high levels of stress and overwork. Magnesium reduces cortisol levels and helps to balance out hormonal function in general, so an understated virtue of cacao is its harmonizing effect on the reproductive & endocrine systems. Moreover, the fruit is a rich source of many other minerals — zinc, manganese, iron, and chromium — also having a high concentration of antioxidants.
The fragrance of a cacao product gives you insight into the purity and potency of it, and Cacao Cura has a scent that is very telling of the mountain origins and its strength as a heart and lungs medicine. Sniff, sip, and sing. Cacao loves a good song. Remember your voice, your love, and their power.
please note:
There is currently a cacao shortage due to a number of factors, environmental and economic. Coming by ethically grown, harvested, and processed organic cacao is becoming increasingly harder. Part of my initiative in doing this work with my family is to aid them in maintaining the land and landscape where the Cacao is grown by supporting them with funding, so proceeds from these sales will be sent to the island. The other portion of proceeds will be dedicated to certifying our cacao and creating a digital footprint so that supporters can trace the product to its place of origin, view the process & ethical production, and be certain that you are supporting a quality endeavor. We are also in the process of upgrading our packaging for Cacao Cura.
More information about all of this and future projects with the kakawa will be shared soon.

the story:
The Reishi used in this formula was gifted to me by a Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctor who barely speaks English & gets all the herbs he works with straight from China. Dr. Duong was indeed delighted when he saw me walk in holding a TCM herbs reference book with the names listed in English alongside corresponding Chinese characters & black + white images. On that day I received Reishi mushroom & Peony root as a gift alongside a purchase of Rehmannia. Since then, Dr. Duong and I have been friends and though our language-based communications often happen with me pointing at a Chinese character or trying to say a word using the wrong tones and him smiling at me, his exhaled Tobacco smoke in the air, I have learned so much from him.
Lingzhi for strong, and he palpates his face. A strong glow? Even if that’s not what he meant, I eventually experienced that the mushroom enhances our luminance. Like Schizandra berries, another TCM favorite, Reishi mushrooms have been employed in many an immortality formula. This is all connected — what are chromosomes? They are receptors & projectors of light, they are light / color (chroma) bodies (somas). Many studies have shown that Reishi has a healing effect on our genetic coding and helps upgrade cellular information, so the luminosity we see in our countenance following a steady communion with the mushroom is a result of their workings within our vessels. Ganoderma lucidum is one of the latin binomials of this entity, and the word “lucidum” refers to the shiny and brilliant appearance on the surface of the mushroom which translates beautifully into and through our own light’s shining. Lingzhi is often combined with Schizandra berries for irritations and other imbalanced manifestations that show up through the skin. The mushrooms are considered to be a normalizing force for fluid metabolism & blood circulation, so they help to clear heat and other presentations of stagnation which can become inflammatory in the body. Reishi tones our organs and shows up as a preventative, with documented evidence of its curative potential. In combination with Pomegranate fruit juice, the immuno-enhancing qualities become pronounced.
The combination of Pomegranate and Reishi is a perfect alchemical marriage. They’re both in it for the long run and promise support and longevity through thick and thin. In Ayurvedic practice, Pomegranate fruit & juice is a blood tonic with cleansing properties as it can clear our bodily waters of foul discharges and other such fluids resulting from infections. Reishi has a history of being used in protocols for people experiencing cancer. In recent studies, it has been found that Pomegranate is also promising in inducing the death of certain cancer cells — synergizing perfectly with the energetics of Reishi. Pomegranate extract interacts specifically with the mitochondria in our cells — mitochondria is information and the power source in our cells which we inherit from our maternal line. Polyphenol compounds in the extract interact with the mitochondria to eradicate defective mitochondria and simultaneously help generate / reproduce new, healthy mitochondria. This is in direct conversation with the way Pomegranate flower essence helps us to integrate our creative AND procreative energies. In lore and myth, Pumica is a symbol of fertility — a direct reflection of the true medicine of this fruit and plant.
Genes hold information that often lay latent and at times, at best, come forth as subconscious urgings, actions, communications. Some of these expressions cause conflict because they lack awareness. To increase intentionality in our experience, we may need the support of beings like Pomegranate and Joshua tree flowers which help to resolve disturbances and distortions in our expressions, especially those related to lineage, ancestry, and inherited dispositions. Furthermore, the fruit bear a striking resemblance to the ovaries and other female generative organs which aligns with the doctrine of signatures and informs us that this fruit is not only a mirror of the blood, but also a clarifier which makes our past, present, and future lucid.
There is so much more to say about all of this. A post dedicated specifically to Pomegranate and Mitochondria will be available on my Substack.

the story:
An elixir of mystery and revelation, transformation and creation, made with fig fruits gathered in Florida, fig leaves from NYC and Florida, pear fruits and leaves harvested in NYC, and an essence of fig flowers made in communion with Florida sun and springs. Full body force. Fig offered themselves for this work a bit over a year ago. The aroma of their leaves, unmistakable and enchanting, agreed to be encapsulated and furthermore shared — such is the trajectory of Fig and Pear’s presence the world over. Though they are thought to originate somewhere in the Persian Gulf, it is known that Figs have adapted well to warm, temperate regions, having an extensive history throughout the Mediterranean into Africa, the Caribbean, Florida, the USA, and other locations that support their growth. The lesson of Ficus carica is one of resilience which it teaches by growing even within what some would deem ‘unfavorable’ conditions. Ficus are hardy and teach us strength & perseverance, nourish us with sweetness. Figs build blood and body, clear stagnation in colon & womb, make room for the new. The true fruits of the Fig are the seeds inside — a fact which offers us a glimpse as to the vibrational profile of this plant loaded with creative power and the potential of many forms. This is the fruit that greets us at the crossroads of plentiful inspiration yet needing direction, it offers the vision of what could be. This plant as a whole possesses great medicine for the reproductive and respiratory regions, facilitating our capacity to breathe life into what we are creating. In Ayurveda, the fig fruits, bark, and leaves are used to cleanse the blood and promote fertility. Figs are also deeply connected to the water element by their demulcent qualities which work to soothe inflammation throughout the body and have a relaxing effects on the throat and lungs. In a study with melanated folk living in Michigan, it was reported that a great majority of them use fig juice to treat soreness of throat and irritation in breathing.
Similarly to the Ficus, Pears / Pyrus have experience and been experienced in many regions. Some early documentation of usage includes a ferment of their juices in Italy and around the Mediterranean. Even without such historical reference one can assume that Pear and Fig have crossed paths at certain points in their travels and through a myriad of recipes. The synergistic action of Figs with Pears is evident — as food medicines they have similar effects and impacts on the body and contain some of the same minerals & vitamins (such as magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, and iron) which support everyday physical processes, landing in us with the vow of healthful bounty — the invigorating power of this combination is felt head to toe. In general, they are both late summer to autumn fruits and offer us the waters needed to transition into the airiness that the cooler months bring after the heat of summer months. Pear is nutritive and provides us sweet sustenance, helping us feel cared for and supported through movement and change. When we are coming out of a period of burnout, stagnation, depression, or exhaustion, Pear imparts a sustained surge of vitality. The fruit clears heat in the body and serves as a perfect antidote to the remnants of summertime inflammations. I have a memory of my mother, livid, walking to the kitchen for a pear and sitting on the couch with it, pensive, her demeanor and anger gradually transformed, witnessed in her sigh-song & her shoulders relaxing with the release of tension — indeed it was late August. The Pear has always been her favorite fruit, and she has always been an intuitive eater. A drop of Memory’s Harvest on the tongue, a hand on my chest, a deep breath. This fruit touches upon several meridians in the body and are especially ideal for assisting and liberating the liver which holds anger, the kidneys & the fear it stores, and the heart with its lingering grief. Because Pear trees can live to more than 200 years, the Chinese regarded them as the Tree of Immortality and Prosperity. Pear and Fig have a wealth of information & impressions by virtue of their extensive existence. What they offer is as diverse as the needs, desires, and cravings of those who love and enjoy them.
Incorporating essences into extracts always feels like adding another level of Spirit to the potion. Fig flower essence helps to facilitate past life / parallel timespiral recall and ingression. It helps us to retrieve what feels lost or taken, supports us in processes of reclamation, restoration, and regeneration. This essence has a resonance within the craniosacral region, enhancing memory and cognition, helping us conceive and create with ease.
This formula is a collection of times, spaces, ideas, promises, recipes, waters, nutrients, stories. The land codes from the Southeast and Northeast USA serve to bridge a gap in the histories remembered, our own and those of the territories we live with and on. It was crafted using a Kiskeyan method of preparing fruits combined with a basic oxymeli format, rendering a potent concoction. The effects are immediate, pronounced, long-lasting, worth sitting / moving / creating / being with. This potion is an invitation to deep study and remembrance.
Elixir comes in a 1 or 2 oz. amber glass bottle with a dropper. It includes a label featuring Gold Water Alchemy logo and elixir information and image or symbols.

the story :
It’s been years of communion with this plant spirit to lead to the point of crafting something to share publicly — that’s the kind of reverence this vine demands. The story of our connection is extensive and will be reserved for sharing through another medium, but for now suffice it to say that the Banisteriopsis caapi vine comes loaded with messages and activations that are hard to ignore, deny, overlook. This vine walks with those who have sight, know it, and are not afraid to see truth. It is for underworld work that affords us gold and riches, wealth of spirit. It is for unlocking treasure boxes within ourselves. This is a microdose potion that does not contain the DMT component typical in the more commonly sought out ‘psychedelic’ experience of modern Ayahuasca consumption. Nevertheless, this one is psychedelic in its own right especially considering that etymologically “psychedelic” means “mind-expanding” or “mind-brightening”. On a phytochemical level, the alkaloids present in the vine are what lend their cognition-enhancing effects especially when used over an extended period of time in micro-doses. Harmine is one of the alkaloids present which have been shown to increase neuron cell growth by over 70% and has overall psycho-protective and neuro-protective qualities. The antioxidant qualities of the B. caapi vine are exhibited through the activity of this particular constituent which furthermore aids the function of the hippocampus, a part of the brain responsible for memory and other neurological and biological capacities. Other personal studies have shown that microdosing with this tonic can increase flow consciousness and enable us to exercise our creativity more effortlessly. All of what’s been noted about the benefits also hints at the fact that the spirit of this vine is specifically tuned to guarding us against psychic attack and invasion which is a hallmark need of the times we find ourselves in, the age of information and miseducation. May we reclaim our minds and hearts in good health with this one. Aya Santa is a highly programmable and willing to work with each individual according to their specific needs, personal visions; helping to overcome obstacles on the path toward fulfillment. Other notations about this formulation: song-crafting and spirit-weaving becomes easier with this medicine. There is something about singing, humming, dancing, moving that affords us a quality of air which mends the heart, and B. caapi loves a heart-felt tune — if a song wells up in you while in communion with them, please don’t shy away from that shift in your breathing. Aya Santa is a spiral dancer, shape-shifting in expansion and contraction where and when needed. Spells can be both cast and broken with her. This is a teacher plant — instructing, nourishing, correcting, purifying. I find this one especially helpful for people who have dealt with long bouts of depression or anxiety, the after effects of trauma or stagnant patterning, afforded through Aya’s psychoemotional and psychospiritual purging abilities. For the highly sensitive ones, Caapi vine keeps our perceptions sharp while fine-tuning our energetic boundaries, reminding us of the importance of clearing our fields and being mindful of who and what we interact and build contracts with. This extract is a tonic with chemical constituents whose effects transcend the physical; such is the beauty of plants. Aya Santa helps us to create new neural pathways, build bridges, make deeper connections, and integrate into the wholeness of ecosystem, environment, bioregion with all the sentience present within each facet of it. Flow and go, flow and let go. The path is meandering and has many guide posts so you never get lost again. Deep feeling, deep seeing, close reading; for liminal spaces and the crossroads — Caapi vine is unforgettable.

the story:
For vision & dream work, carnal pleasures, and power activation.
Angels are angles of light that exist to both illuminate and cast shadows which expand perception of the magnitudes we contain within. Some angels become further embodied into fleshly, dense forms and take shape as animated beings in this realm — this potion is for the Earth Angels and those working the light within into a greater expression of brilliance. This is for those who wish to fully descend / ground into their bodies and feel the world within & around with pronounced, intentional depth. Embodied Angels are not demure nor do they shy away from physical pleasures and carnal desires & delights. Angels are angels because they have been afforded a multiplicity of perspectives or angles through an accumulation of experiential imprints and the insights the experiments of life offer. These beings are of quality & quantity. This tincture was crafted with all of this in heart.
The herbs used in the formula affect body and activate blood all while elevating the formless aspects in us that exist as beacons on the journey. Blue Lotus and Damiana accentuate physical sensitivity to the point of increasing overall super-sentience. They enhance awareness of the input we are receiving from our environment and furthermore strengthen the psychoimaginal dimension so that we can see and recall the important and pertinent elements of our days. The subconscious picks up on a lot more cues, sights, sounds, smells, tastes, feels, impressions than conscious perception can process, so the dream realm is one of the spaces where we begin to sort through all of the information. Blue Lotus is often applied for dream-work and is known to enhance ability to remember dreams and make sense of them. In various medicine traditions, Blue Lotus (Blue Waterlily) is known to increase spiritual & meditative energies by targeting and relaxing the nervous system, enabling ease of access to the innerscapes and what treasures & darkness they possess. This waterlily has been used to calm anxiety & stress, while it is also effective as an agent that cools heat conditions in the body which manifest as anger and skin irritation alike. As a spiritual tool, the Lotus is considered protective and much of the protective energy is afforded through a stabilizing of dispositions. In communal & ceremonial application, this Blue Lotus comes forward to support blood flow simultaneously enhancing the alertness of our bodies — serving as an aphrodisiac — and our minds, promoting lucidity in awareness.
Damiana is the perfect companion for the work the Blue Waterlily does. This is a plant native to the subtropical regions including Texas, Mexico, Central & South America, and the Caribbean. The Damiana used in this remedy was sourced in Kiskeya and was found growing in abundance in the wild. They are an accomplice which supports our reproductive and mental functions promoting a staying power, whether sexually or mentally. Accounts regard that Damiana’s use as an herbal remedy predates written history, which speaks to the long-term relationship humans and other living beings have had with this plant. Turnera diffusa (as Damiana is otherwise known) is an effective traveler throughout all the waters & organs of the body from kidneys to bladder to heart, with the capacity of helping to correct everything from blood deficiencies such as anemia to the nervous system imbalances which may contribute to the energetic states of anxiety and depression. In Mesoamerican tradition, Turnera is communed with ceremoniously & festively for their wide array of benefits.
When we combine the energizing and fortifying powers of the Waterlily and Damiana, we get quite a mighty formula. Both of these have been indicated as euphoria-inducing which affords us a potion that renders deep feelings of pleasure, benefits our health by way of various bodily systems, and grants us the steadfastness to complete what we begin. The essence of Barbados Lily only accentuates and augments this reality.
About Barbados Lily — “For bold creativity in alignment with divine will. This brilliant orange red lily has not only a very strong life force energy, but an energy of helping us persist in expressing our creative purpose. Consider this one when you are uncertain you have the stamina to follow through on creative plans or ideas. This is also a helpful essence for women & people in search of rejuvenation after draining experiences.”

flower profile and essence creation story:
The ultimate promise of this one is that if you can stay with the shadows, the mysteries will be revealed to you. Connections otherwise inaccessible are more easily made.
These flower essences were created at separate times in distinct locations, all in Florida. One in Winter Park, the other in Osteen. All holy, mighty, meaningful, leading to this moment. Black Eyed Susan is a flower I have worked with in essence form for some time. Initially, it was gifted to me by a friend and soon after I began to encounter the flower everywhere in my immediate landscape — the reticular activating system is very active in general but even more so when in communion with natural forces such as flowers. Black Eyed Susan calls us when we need a wake up call, rude or otherwise. Black Eyed Susan does not coddle nor accept pretense. Because of the potency of what Black Eyed Susan does in the psychoemotional and spiritual dimensions of our being, Jasmine was added to ease the effect and help one to clearly perceive the Gold in the Shadow. When the unpleasant aspects of the Self loom and make us feel like we have to retreat, Jasmine shows us the beauty and divinity of our being, reminding us of the process of refinement resulting of excavating for riches. The wealth is found in the dark, whether the dense soil or our storied souls.
"Night Light" also speaks directly to the colors of the flowers — Jasmine, white, fragrant and enchanting, Black Eyed Susan, bright yellow with a black core symbolizing the inspiration and motivation found in our depths. Both together support our shadows meeting the light of transformation, an alchemical marriage. In therapeutic application, Black Eyed Susan essence is indicated for those who have repressed traumas that need release so that stagnation can be discharged. It is also effective for undoing habitual tendencies that are not conducive to growth and expansion, simultaneously helping us "contract" where needed to birth a new paradigm in our lives. Rudbeckia (BES) helps us tap into the subconscious so it is effective as a dream work essence and for conjuring new visions, breaking through old programs and charging into holistic processing. As a healer of the vision, it is effective when one is on a protocol or regimen for clearing & strengthening eye sight. Simultaneously, this flower's essence promotes patience as a virtue and tolerance as a quality in the situations where it is needed the most.
Jasmine is a beautiful addition here because it holds the key for the breakthrough being called in by the awareness being offered by Black Eyed Susan. Jasmine essence is effective in supporting the release of stagnant emotional patterns and other energetic hooks which may keep one looping and unable to make progress in the spiral of life & time. BES takes us into the soil of our souls while Jasmine elevates us high into the realm of other possibilities. This is a particularly impactful remedy for the heart and lungs as it is an essence that instills a deeper sense of compassion and helps us find peace even in moments of grief. There is something extremely rejuvenating about Jasmine flower essence and that provides the necessary stimulation for seeing the darkest dawn through to a new day.
The zig zag zeitgeist phrase that activates this blend came through research into motivational practices for work and lifestyle habits. It is based on the theory that people are mutable in their approach to creative expression, i.e., people tend to zig zag in their practice and this enables them draw from natural inspiration as opposed to trudging through work and to-do lists without the animation or vitality to actually do it. To me this also registers as the pattern of one that moves in mysterious ways, a signature of the Night Light formula. So overall this is a remedy for those who need that extra push to move forward while also offering protection so that actualization happens with ease and the lessons won't be so abrasive. Night Light is an essence for the times that call us to be steadfast and diligent in our pursuit and expressions all while maintaining a natural approach, not becoming a machine. If you feel burdened, scattered, or overwhelmed, this blend is for you as it will help you slow down, assess, declutter, and organize so that you can proceed toward actualization of goals, meeting intentions with a clear template.
A note about using flower essences:
Flower essences are not oils. They are vibrational healing remedies which affect and change energetic conditions and, like some oils and other medicines, can be used internally, on acupuncture/acupressure points and chakras, sprayed in the energy field, dripped in your water, and even used for personal and professional massaging. It is best to use an essence or combination and/or group of essences for 30-33 days to permanently shift patterns and create new habits, healthier lifeways.

flower essence profile and essence blend creation story:
Oh mymama come see dat crow, see how he flies, oh mymama come see dat crow, see how he flies, let’s go let’s go, gonna fly tonight, see how he flies.
Zora Neale Hurston’s ‘Crow Dance’ has been resonating in my heart & head since I first saw and heard it. Some time later I’d heard Alice Walker say that Zora loved Gardenia flowers and the color Red. It was also when I discovered a children’s book that was adapted from Zora’s short story titled Magnolia Flower. The season was Spring and the Gardenias outside my home had begun flowering, their fragrance enchanting the air in a lingering trail of scent. Around the corner from my house I’d found a lonesome and striking Southern Magnolia reaching out for a hug from all sides. All these and other factors considered, this is a storied and enchanting blend.
The forces present in it support the integration of the inner abundant wellspring while also enhancing the capacity to set our actions in accord with our visions. Gardenia flower essence helps grow the seeds from the shadows, from the fertile ground, into usable and fruitful manifestations. It pairs well while working with Crow feathers in essence form as these feathers figure greatly in times of initiation and growth. The blue & black darkness of the crow is symbolic of transformation and also the womb of many potentials. This darkness lands in an area of the color spectrum in which energy is densely concentrated and capable of profoundly absorbing and producing heat & light, so dark talismans such as the crow feather signify containment of the wisdom and energy necessary to create and actualize. Crow medicine is held by several including (but not limited to) the alchemists, writers, teachers, high priests & priestesses, and those who maintain contact with the Otherworld. By way of personal experience, it has been gathered that Crows may show up when messages from the beyond are coming through or when the presence of ancestral forces is near. Additionally they can appear when experiencing a ritual of passage & change. Gardenia & Magnolia complement all of this and offer the momentum required to meet the light halfway and full.
Similarly to Gardenia, Magnolia encourages embodiment in the midst of psychic & mystical expansion, promoting the full innerstanding of what is being accessed from within and beyond. Magnolia is particularly harmonizing to the womb and heart space so they aid the bao mai channel which connects these two points. An imbalanced bao mai can contribute to everything from anxiety to confusion to infertility, all of which are addressed with the Crow Dance of abundance & plenty. As the Crow Dance song and performance imply, this one is for activation of the body and both Magnolia & Gardenia are promising for energizing the reproductive system and clearing the heart which facilitates the stream and promotes progress. Gardenia is useful when one is dealing with emotional complications that make it difficult to meet intentions. It also possesses a Mercurial vibration, enhancing our writing, speaking, and teaching abilities. If you have felt unlovable or unworthy, this flower reminds you that you are beautiful and that what you may perceive as a weakness is more so a source of strength.
Magnolia is here for that, too. They provide an unshakable sense of peace and security in times when we may feel worried or uncertain, so if something major is happening in our lives, then Magnolia is the perfect essence to support our transitions. The Magnolia species has been on Earth for a long time, and I find that these ancient plants tend to impart the inner knowings that have become encapsulated in their matrix over time thus their flower essence also provides a greater context for innerstanding our experiences. In alignment with their ancientness, the Magnolia flower essence benefits folks who are entering cronehood and the like. They assist feelings of acceptance and trust in the aging that naturally occurs. For death doulas & companions and those who have experienced loss, the combination of Crow feathers and Magnolia essences is an ideal formula for aiding clients and loved ones going through stages of death & dying.
Overall, Crow Dance essence blend is for the living, growing, and dying alike. It is for the many world dwellers and encourages us as we move within, without, and throughout.
A note about using flower essences:
Flower essences are not oils. They are vibrational healing remedies which affect and change energetic conditions and, like some oils and other medicines, can be used internally, on acupuncture/acupressure points and chakras, sprayed in the energy field, dripped in your water, and even used for personal and professional massaging. It is best to use an essence or combination and/or group of essences for 30-33 days to permanently shift patterns and create new habits, healthier lifeways.

These ointments come in 1 oz. tin containers. The third rendition of our flying ointment, and this one is equally potent. It is called Mojave Rock due to its reddish color, a phrase at the beginning of the song “Kill Screen” by Jean Grae where she also says “I was nominated flyest, so you see I’ll take us higher”, lyrics which feel more than fitting for this ointment. The name is also inspired by the fact that the one of the plants (Desert Lavender) used to make this salve was gathered in the mountains of Arizona, and there’s a portion of the Mojave Desert that extends into this state where the rocks (which I also gathered some of) are red. Flying ointment no. 3 is deeply ancestral and grounding in a way that flying ointments no. 1 and 2 are not. It helps to increase awareness of the immediate environment and, more profoundly, our physical vessel. This is a formula for those who have been disembodied and out of touch with their feelings for far too long. The rooting element here is the Poke roots which simultaneously offer protection and ease enough for us to feel safe in our bodies. So, this ointment is essentially a formula for soul retrieval; shamanic in the deepest sense of the word. The reddish color of the ointment comes from one of the plants used in formulation; a plant invigorating to the blood which helps to strengthen circulation, so when applied topically, it brings warmth and a glow to the skin. This also readies us, through surface opening, to receive the properties that enable us to take flight. The heat of some of the plants here also serves to enhance the power of lymphatic drainage that poke root offers us. In certain traditions, Poke root is regarded and used to heal clogged ducts and inflammation sometimes experienced by nursing people. They generally serve to move waters in the body and so enable to clarify our emotional spaces and traverse the collection of memories with more lucidity. Poke root possesses qualities which help to alter and heighten our perception and sensibilities, so gifts of clairaudience, clairvoyance, clairsentience get a boost with use of this wondrous flying ointment. In other ways, this root is essential in works where we seek to alleviate stagnation psychically, spiritually, physically, and emotionally — it has the elevating effect that is so central to the experience of flying ointments. Cannabis flowers and mugwort leaves lean into and lend us softness through relief of pain, tension, inflammation, and congestion. Cannabis flowers also provide heart-opening codes, while mugwort supports our perception of the messages that slip through the veil to find us. Portals everywhere with this one. The general key note of the formula is movement, and it is safe to say that all of the plants use here assist us in opening the doors of expansive journeying. When visioning with this potion, we encountered many particularly female and feminine ancestal forces, the grandmothers. She is of the earth and in the stars, she is strong, stable, capable, wise, ancient, extra and terrestrial, steady in her knowing, great in power; she is a rock, a formation of what is possible through and beyond time.

These ointments come in 1 oz. tin containers. It is worth emphasizing that this is a potent batch of flying ointment — the most potent to date of all of the renditions we have had of Indigenous Flying Ointment no. 1, so rightfully this is its own variation, Indigenous Flying Ointment no. 2. The combination of blue lotus flowers, mugwort leaves, and hemp + cannabis flowers offer us a wide array of benefits — blue lotus flowers work as a relaxant, euphoric, and mild sedative; mugwort leaves are useful for cramping, soreness, muscle aches, and other such painful experiences; hemp and cannabis flowers enhance perception, heighten sensibility, expand the heart center, and overall can uplift one from a heavy or dense mood. The combination of these 3 is effective for easing us into the receptivity necessary to facilitate flight. The addition of Angel’s Trumpet potentiates the impact of these accomplices. Angel’s Trumpet is indeed the Angelic Presence in this formula and swiftly carries us through the navigations and journeys that can be induced with this ointment. Angel’s Trumpet is rich in alkaloids which have an effect on the metabolism and thus can alter both bodily and psychoemotional processes. While the compounds in Angel’s Trumpet are generally considered to have poison potential, in this ointment they serve as a medicine and activator propelling us into balanced motion. On a spiritual level, this is an all in one balm — it unblocks our hearts and (as a result) our minds; it unjinxes love, money, and other possible manifestations of abundance; it uncrosses the path, making clear the way and why of our direction. With the flying ointment, the veil is made thinner and it often produces a sense of floating or feeling of liminality. Flying ointments serve as a master KEY between worlds and ease passage between and into multiple dimensions. Typically these preparations are used for astral travels, shapeshifting, hedgecrossing, creative inspiration, trance, and even hypnotherapy. Some have reportedly used them for past life recall and to remove filters and barriers preventing attunement to timeless wisdom. The name “Angelic Presence” is also attributed to the fact that this ointment feels like a call for a benevolent ancestors and spirit guides to come forth; this is felt in the opening that occurs within us and the depths our perception traverses, into the dirt and through the abyss of the multiverse. The dreams and visions are also made more vivid with this salve, so it favors well when petitioning for clarity within the 3rd eye, in dreamwork, and divination. It is within these spaces that we may find more ease in certain layers of shadow work, so Angelic Presence is furthermore a talisman of protection as one sifts through the layers of the subconscious. On a physical, spiritual, emotional, and mental level, this ointment leaves pronounced and profound impressions, so it is essential in healing, soothing, and initiation practices. All of the plants worked in this unguent are traditionally used for flying ointment formulas, so it is with the memories of old that this one is charged. This is a true ancestral remedy with so many benefits and which will have a unique imprint on each person who works with it. May your travels be illuminating, psychedelic (mind-brightening), and heart-enlivening.

the story:
The formula for this remedy came to me within the sequence of a series of events leading to sudden and necessary change. My head hot and my heart ever-ready, I said I was not going to act like my vision has not always been as clear as it is, so remaining in environments and situations with people who thought to get away with deception and sneaky (but felt by me) invasion of privacy was no longer an option. Ancestral forces, benevolent and serious about protection and works of uncrossing the journey, were at the fore guiding and orchestrating the invoked and yearned for tower moment. A dance around the homestead and the plants for this oxymel found their way to my basket, whispering as I saw flashes of red and tobacco smoke cleansing my head. Like the energy of Candelo, a loa protective and just, cleansing and strengthening, this formula is clearly an emanation of his vibration. Things were revealed, things were made clear. The medicine here is a testimony of that and does just that. Each of the plants here is rich in story and medicine alike; thick with healing dimensions. Elderberries are well-known and often spoken of for use in immunity boosting (precaution should be taken here especially in the case of autoimmune conditions) and serve as accomplices in increasing the defense line of the body. Similarly, this one is used within magickal traditions for warding off evil, undoing malicious works, and protection in the aftermath of the uncrossing. Various practices, including Hoodoo, advise Elder hung or planted around the perimeter of a space that we think may be susceptible to certain intrusion and attack. In essence, the spirit of Elder shields the aspects within and without us which we hold as sacred, near, and dear. These berries have also been considered ideal in cleansing the reproductive system, particularly ideal for the vaginal canal and its pH balance. Infusions and syrups (or oxymels) of the berries have often been employed for diuretic (kidney cleansing/urination inducing) purposes and to help heal one experiencing urinary tract infections. Yellow dock root is rich in iron and boosts the effectiveness of the vitamin C content that Elderberries bring to this formula. This plant root is ideal in replenishing hemoglobin and correcting anemia. Elderberries and Yellow dock both contain anti-inflammatory properties, making them effective for eliminating hot conditions, irritations, inflammations, and aggravations in the body, mind, heart, and spirit. Here we see one of the primary actions of this tonic oxymel is not only to cleanse, tone, and strengthen the blood, but also to bring balance to the fiery qualities of Candelo and his likeness. Papalo and Tithonia sunflowers are herbals and florals consecrated in Mesoamerica and regarded as ideal medicine in ancestral veneration. Papalo has a pungent aroma and taste which inform us that this one touches gut, heart, and head alike. Papalo is regarding as the Mexican substitute for Cilantro, and they similarly have brain enhancing qualities by way of clearing the nervous system and other bodily systems of heavy metal toxicity. This plant is called “summer Cilantro” oftentimes because it has a great affinity for the heat — in the thick of summer, their flowers bloom and aromas travel. Furthermore, Basil leaves are another one whose aroma, well-recognized and deeply loved and integrated in many a dishes, serves as protective from head to toe. Ayisien vodou tradition associates the use and appearance of Basil with Ezili, and in the Dominican Republic, it is known as one of Candelo’s favorite plants. He is indeed a great healer; even went as far as to suggest that a couple drops of this oxymel in a floor wash would do wonders for driving evil away from the home. Enter family and home renewal. The flowers of Tithonia only accentuate that and bring vitality when energy has been leaking and the aura is compromised by tears. Tithonia sunflowers target the solar plexus and help us to walk with more confidence and security in what we are moving with and through at each moment. Spilanthes and Romerillo (aka Spanish needle) boost the effectiveness of Elderberries — they are all antibacterial, anti-fungal, and relatively antibiotic. They are used for a wide spectrum of conditions ranging from fevers to facial paralysis to toothache to anxiety and depression. In the Autumn season, these two summer (and sometimes Autumn in Florida) flowering plants are cherished for their healing impact on the lungs — the lungs being the yin organs it is advised we attend to (according to Traditional Chinese Medicine and other medicinal traditions) during the Autumn season. With proper lung care, we can ensure that the movement of fluids and nutrition in our bodies is more conducive to deep nourishment through proper integration of the foods and other ‘beneficial’ information we are consuming. Ginger root serves as the activating principle in this formula by heating up the body in a way that helps dampness that is stagnant to come to the surface (through perspiration, etc) and find a way out so that we may experience relief. Sometimes this stagnancy results in a sluggishness that may otherwise be rightfully called “depression”, so Ginger lifts us through targeting the digestive/solar aspects. In Hoodoo, it is used for movement, and like the energy of Candelo, this movement is intended to be quick and awakening. El Remedio de Candelo is the formula you come to and journey with when you seek to exact rectitude in your affairs and are aiming are growing through challenges in health, physical or otherwise, which can confuse the process and obstruct the progress. Con Candelo no se juega — be intentional in all your ways.

the story:
The Tree of Life is known as a diagram of our reality, reflecting both the macrocosm and the microcosm; the universe as macro & the self as micro. In studying the Tree of Life, I naturally gravitated to certain Sephiroth such as Yesod & Binah. Being a dreamer, Yesod appeals to me because it is the realm of the subconscious where we find the undercurrents of our experience through imprints of symbols, personal matrices & narratives, inherited & enforced programs. Yesod is a vehicle that facilitates movement between the divine and the material, being thus a place of liminality.
Binah is in an upper sphere on the Tree.
“Binah (בִּינָה), meaning ‘understanding’ in Hebrew, is derived from the root ב-י-נ, which conveys the concept of discerning or distinguishing knowledge into structured understanding. This root implies building or constructing insight from raw data. In Kabbalistic tradition, Binah is personified as a nurturing mother, reflecting its role in developing and shaping the abstract wisdom from Chokmah into intelligible forms.”
Binah loves eucalyptus & myrrh — these are some of correspondences for that energetic signature. To comprehend more of the resonance, we can look at the medicine and magick of these plant materia.
Myrrh is often related to Mary, and in the story it is one of the gifts given to Jesus, symbolizing the future passion & suffering that he would meet, simultaneously associated with the crying / pained mother or Mater Dolorosa. It is a balm used in preparation of dead bodies & rites of dying which is a curious issue to note as not being an end — an idea and understanding that is reflected within many traditions. Even in places like Jamaica & Kiskeya it is regarded that the spirit of the dead leaves the resting place on the third day, signaling to resurrection & rebirth. (For this reason, there is a 9-night vigil to ensure that the spirit transitions to its new dwelling space / the ‘after life’, not stuck roaming the earth disembodied).
Myrrh is used as an anointment & consecration oil. It is also employed for its therapeutic value and has been used for over 3,500 years. Records show that Kemetic peoples have used the oil for treating fevers, venereal illnesses, and respiratory concerns. In Greece during times of war, soldiers would take Myrrh to battle for its protective, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory qualities. This resin is also a cleanser known to clean & heal wounds. Tibetan and Chinese folks regard that the oil is helpful for arthritis, menstrual cramps, hemorrhoids, stress, nervousness, anxiety, and so much more. Overall Myrrh oil is somewhat of a panacea, a suitable support for the whole body and whole person, skin to teeth. In mystical and magickal traditions, devotees burn myrrh as incense because, as previously noted, it is cleansing and furthermore purifying, supporting upliftment of frequencies within a space and creating a sense of peace & calm (connected to its tonifying effect on the nervous system). Myrrh is considered to enhance the power of any herbs or other plant matter it is mixed with, so it helps to strengthen conjurations and the motions aligned with one’s intentions especially if working with the Mother force to bring about a desired material expression.
“Binah brings order and structure to the fragmented divine light.”
Similarly, Juniper oil has a long history of application by some of the same people. In Cunningham’s Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs, Scott Cunningham writes “used throughout Europe as a protective herb, Juniper also guards against theft. It was probably one of the earliest incenses used by Mediterranean Witches. Juniper hung at the door protects against evil forces and persons, and it is burned in exorcism rites… It also guards against ghosts and sickness… When carried or burned, Juniper helps the psychic powers…”
The branches of Juniper have also been burned by ancient Greeks to combat epidemics and illnesses. In Kemet, corpses were anointed with the oil to both embalm and aid transition. More modern applications see it effective in supporting hair growth, treating acne, cellulite, cramping, and mental exhaustion. Like Myrrh, Juniper oil is useful for skin conditions, so the infusion of them together is a potent remedy for irritations & other variation of skin imbalance & affliction such as eczema, psoriasis, and the like.
The synergy of it all is made evident with Eucalyptus which unsurprisingly shares some of the qualities of both Juniper and Myrrh. “Binah is often likened to a 'palace of mirrors'.” In simple terms, Eucalyptus mirrors a lot of the healing potential exhibited in the berries and resin. Eucalyptus is also (like Myrrh) useful for teeth & dentistry with documented use as a mouth rinse solution. Our teeth as mouth-bones contribute to the structural support of our face which is where the sephira of Binah lands on our bodies if we view the Tree of Life within us. So in essence Myrrh and Eucalyptus serve to cushion our structures, toning them to ensure proper function. Eucalyptus cleanses (like Juniper) and is recognized as a potent respiratory aid. It opens us, helps us expand, inhale more deeply. In Kiskeya, abuelas put Camphor & Eucalyptus leaves in our pockets, making a cross from head to chest, praying for our protection.
Binah is an altar oil that alters our experience and innerstanding, elevating us to a dynamic yet balanced and steady vibration.
“Binah is associated with the feminine aspect of divinity. The Bahir states: "For you shall call ‘Understanding’ a Mother" (Bahir 75).”

the story:
Ezili Danto loves the children, but she plays no games. Ezili Danto is known to be fierce, protective, a wild woman; and her protective spirit is born of deep love for her people, for the children, for women, and those who are unjustly marginalized, ostracized, and “othered”. Mambo Danto is a hot entity who loves aromatics and took a particular liking to Juniper berries and Rosemary when I was meditating on an oil of these two. It took only minutes and hours for her to manifest in forms I cannot share through here out of respect for her apparitions and the power within those experiences. Suffice it to say that an entire formula for this protection oil came to me through those encounters, and I’ve consistently seen her favor in my life since the moment I set the plants and curio in oils. Considering the two main plants in this one, we can fathom the vastness of proper application. Juniper berries are used in Kiskeya for many things including deflecting and stopping evil in its tracks. It is a preventative medicine on multiple levels, both physical and spiritual. The little juniper leaves have sharp tips which can be likened to the tip of the machete that Ezili Danto carries and wields in the face of adversity. Juniper berries are also often sprinkled in gardens throughout the island for good luck, to attract beneficial insects and pollinators, and on other levels to magnetize love and adoration. Oil of Juniper berries is often used for love workings and all matters related to the heart including the healing of grief and heartbreak. When the sexual nature is compromised or libido is low, Juniper is taken in wine or used in oil to massage the lower pelvic region for invigoration. This accomplice has also been regarded as effective for increasing psychic powers and driving away confusion. When Juniper is combined with Rosemary, the mind clarifying capacity becomes furthermore pronounced — this is very important because something else that Mambo’s machete symbolizes is that which cuts through illusions and promotes true communication through clear perception. Rosemary is also good for memory and protection during dreaming. Frequency of Love oil can be used for ensuring restful sleep, all the while enabling recall of the important elements in our dreamscpes. These two plants can often be found in the houses of healers throughout the campos of Kiskeya for their known ability to promote wellness and comfort the sick. Some of my people have the practice of wrapping freshly washed and dried clothes with Rosemary sprigs (for several minutes) to increase blessings and provide safety. Through this elixir for anointment, you are granted revitalized energy, love, protection, and direction all the same. For external use only.

the story:
It seems many of us can sing the praises to and of Papa Legba for all the ways in which his spirit has remained amongst us throughout time, serving, in many ways, as a key to safety, security, protection, and swift passage on our journeys. In one of the ancestral spiritual traditions which I inherited and practice, Papa Legba is a being who stands at the threshold, guarding the doors, keeping the gates. He reminds us that the roads open only for those of honest heart and pure intention — his keynote is “come correct”; this is why he is the first one we salute as we ask for the gates to be opened. In a time when “gatekeeping” is perceived as problematic (because of who is doing the “gatekeeping”), Legba reminds us of who the OG is and why control of and at the gates is important: if we are not careful, demons, ills, evils, antagonists, and all sorts of havoc-makers can come through and attempt to take reign of our lives and experiences. Without Papa’s permission, no spirit or person can cross, and that is not only from the material to the spiritual but also from the spiritual into the material. His power is so great that in my traditions, it is Papa Legba who we invoke in matters of infertility and when one experiences other sorts of difficulty in conception. There are so many amazing stories about the wonders, healing, and openings that this spirit can afford us, but first and foremost we pay with respect and reverence. All of this and much more considered, after time deep in meditation and communion with my lwas, this formula was granted to me through conversations with my grandfather and in dreams. It is made with tobacco leaves which is a staple planta maestra who walks closely with Papa and is often called for in offerings to him. Amber or Ambár resin from the Hymeneae species, which is regarded as a jewel in Kiskeya, is another component of this oil which also contribute to the coding of this serum. After brewing for several moon cycles and through 3 seasons, the oil came forth as ready and charged with the power of opening roads and helping us make well-informed decisions at the crossroads. This oil is also consecrated with the intention to clear any obstacles blocking the way; these obstacles may show up in the form of habits, ideas, thought patterns, food ways, relationships, places, and other things which keep us looping in manners that are overdue for change and release. The formula is a catalyst for deep transformation and unblocking. It can also be used for matters of fertility or to ensure a healthy conception and pregnancy. Papa Legba’s oil can be use directly on any part of the body that is experiencing feelings of stuckness, stagnancy, or toxicity. It’s a great one for stimulating lymphatic movement and helping to boost the immune system. Just like Papa Legba, this oil is a dynamic remedy which can aid us along the path and security through feelings of confidence and protection on our way. For external use only.

the story:
Charged with mantra, singing bowl meditations, sun and moon lights, beach breeze. This remedy is special and was specifically formulated with the female generative organs and processes in mind but it can be used by anybody intending to get in tune with themselves and their creative prowess. Yin Yoni is a spirit tonic precise for enhancing our more yin, cool, receptive, open, and fluid qualities. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the 5 yin organs are the heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, and lungs. It is important to note here that all organs can be both yin and yang while also being the case that some of the organs display more or less of the qualities of one or the other end of the spectrum(s). Something to note about the yin organs (of transformation and storage) in the body is that they are connected through the vagus nerve which goes as deep as into the cervix. This is useful information because it illuminates the fact of inextricable connectivity of tissue and our viscera throughout the whole physical. It also enables us to comprehend just how pertinent the function of one part is to the health of the whole. Yin organs like yin essence are one of storing, holding, and transforming forms of energy for proper usage and transportation with support of the Yang organs. Yin Yoni Spirit Drops is formulated with flowers and seeds that touch all of the mentioned organs of transformation and storage while also enabling us to clarify and expand to receive from and to a space of deeper attunement and a brighter, more defined center and sense of self. The flower essences with which this is crafted all have a cohesive application for helping us to heal from sexual discord and trauma and other forms of affliction which has imprinted within our hearts and creative innerscapes, especially digging through into our root centers and aiding us to uproot causes and feel the effects of the medicine we are invoking. Basil flowers contain the frequency of integration and in essence form can be effective for helping us to bridge the spiritual and sexual aspects of the self into a sacred union. For practitioners of Tantra, Basil flower essence facilitates innerstanding of the mysteries and secrets (sacreds) of the tradition(s). This essence has also proven healing to those who are recovering from the shame and stigma surrounding sexual expression which leads to repression and sometimes even ‘hidden’ attraction to illicit sexuality such as addiction to porn. Basil offers a sense of unity and helps to undo the effects of polarity on the subconscious and how that may materialize whether overtly or covertly. In combination with Hibiscus essence, this formula is set to increase feelings of love for the self and one’s body. Hibiscus supports the reclamation of our sexuality and sensuality, also supporting the feeling of warmth in the generative region and thus potentially having an aphrodisiac effect on the body. The combination of blue butterfly pea and queen anne’s lace flowers and seeds is reminiscent of what may be a visual representation — butterfly pea, the yoni; cupped queen anne’s lace seeds, the womb. Butterfly pea, open. Queen Anne’s Lace, waiting to receive.. but only if it feels right. This is a remedy that sensitizes what has become desensitized and unfeeling. In the same vein, it supports intuitive strength. It works through a meridian that could be the bao mai but also seems to extend beyond that field: pineal and pituitary glands into throat and lungs into heart into womb into cervix. Yin Yoni provides a centering force and enlivens us to stability as we still flow. Butterfly pea is revered as a sacred flower with many powers. They have been used to alleviate depression and reduce stress, having notable impact on cortisol levels and nervous system regulation — this translates to a direct impact on the heart and cardiovascular function. In places like Indonesia and Thailand, this flower is used for everything from headaches to eye infections to boils. There are also studies confirming the effectiveness that they can have for conditions such as asthma. With this flower, you are assured wealth in a bottle. What’s even more is that the blue pea flower has a lubricating and yin enhancing quality which goes down into the hips and invites us into a dance. Queen Anne’s Lace supports all of this and is particularly indicated for the third eye / pineal gland region and the cervical / womb regions. The flower essence affords clearing of the psychic space and the tincture form helps us to communicates messages of prevention and protection for our womb and creative regions. The layers of this tonic are plentiful and the medicine it offers is abundant. With ritualistic use, it can be a portal maker and opener for ceremony, love-making, creating, and laboring alike. Yin Yoni is for the womb-bearers, the mothers, the lovers, and anybody willing to flow into their wholeness with trust.

the story:
And so, it began. The journey. The search inspired by a pain, an ache, the asé, the light emerging from the wound within. At a young age, I had learned about the power that certain pain activates. This was a lesson taught to me, again, by my firstborn whose journey earth side came through a long labor of 6 days. On the 7th day, the day of her birth, I rested. This birthing experience also came as the beginning of an important journey inward. It felt ironic how, in giving a part of me to the world, putting something so precious to me out there, I was being prompted to go within, to dig deeper. The questions longed for answers, and a good few of my ancestors felt I would be the only one to really listen. The plants started to hold me through conversation as they did their work to heal me, reminding me of other virtues and potentials within and around. My aunt, who had helped me come up with my daughter’s first name and whose birthday my daughter ended up being born on, prepared for me a bucket half filled with steaming water and herbs, what I later heard referred to as “yoni steams” but which I initially knew as “baths to heal the matriz and cicatriz”. I would also eat a plate of seeded grapes and a decoction of slippery elm bark every day for the first 14 days as a part of my healing protocol. My milk came quickly with the help of oatstraw. My mother would prepare me avena mixed with an oatstraw infusion, as recommended by one of my other aunts. My daughter and I both slept peacefully during the nights, save for a few colicky moments we stayed up through. In this eternal postpartum period, I began to learn more about my dream abilities. And so, deeper became the inquiry. In a dream, years later, months after my firstborn’s 10th birthday and her first bleeding cycle, I dreamt of birthing her again. The next rising, I prepared myself an infusion/decoction with all of the ingredients, minus the rehmannia, in this particular recipe. Yin toning and activating, it felt perfect for the work of digging deeper so that I may know. Slowly sipping, I scribed questions, concerns, and gratitude. Mothering and exalting the feminine is work of the Ancients. Filling and receiving into spaces fertile and open is an honor to accept graciously. Each sip felt more of that. Each whiff of the mix sparked the surfacing of deeper memories, knowing. It is this formula, a treasure of traditional Chinese medicines, combined with two allies that softened me into motherhood at a very young age, that contains keys of recognition. This is a formula of remembrance crafted with herbals that sharpen and refine heart, body, and mind. With accomplices like Lycium berries, aka wolfberry or goji berries, which are known for enhancing night vision, for instance, I experienced visions of the parallel timespirals through which my firstborn and I are connected. Skullcap leaves are particularly relaxing to the nervous system, making them ideal for any work necessitating greater receptivity such as that of inquiring and asking the questions whose answers bring about greater self knowledge. Skullcap is spiritually significant as an initiatory ally for many who practice divination or other occult arts of investigation. As one with great affinity for the 3rd eye and crown chakras, they can even help to eliminate headaches or mental fog which could contribute to the obstruction of sight on both a physical and spiritual level. Such a medicine fairs well in combination with others like Schizandra berries and Astragalus root — both being specifically enlivening to the pineal and pituitary glands, thus enhancing communications not only in those upper regions, but more specifically between the womb and pituitary axis. This is something that can really enable us to tap into the energy of ancestral forces such as grandmothers and great grandmothers. Through our womb portal, we can access matrilineal wisdom, while also connecting to that of our fathers’ mothers. Schizandra berries are furthermore healing to the reproductive organs by restoring moisture and lubrication — this comes in handy when one experiences chronic dryness and/or during the menopausal period. Jujube (red) dates are also a supportive fruit in the quest of inquiry. Used since ancient times as a nutritive, cleanser, and complementary tonic, Jujube dates are known for clearing the “nine openings” including the eyes, ears, sinuses, nose, throat, bowels, and urinary tract — this quality alone suffices to remove any obstructions making it difficult for the body to receive and properly interpret and synthesize incoming information. A yin herb, this one helps to extend our powers of conservation and concentration, allowing us to, as we eliminate unnecessary energies, gather our forces so that they can be used more adequately in moments of processing and divination, of reading the signs and interpreting the messages. Astragalus, slippery elm, and oatstraw also contribute to the moistening/water qualities of this formula. Astragalus, sweet and mothering in their disposition, has the strong property of regulating fluid metabolism, so it ensures that all of that moisture doesn’t pool up and become stagnant. This makes for a balancing act in a medicine bound to make us more aware of our own water element within. With astragalus in this formula, one experiencing bloating or water retention soon meets relief. Slippery elm is also ideal for such conditions while also being useful for relieving and treating irritations and infections. Nourishing and soothing, Slippery elm pairs well with accomplices like Oatstraw who are rich in magnesium and calcium, and are known for calming nervous tensions — furthermore driving out any false fire which may be drying up and impeding the flow. 000, the Portal is an ancestral formula charged with the power to open us up and lead us in. It is a potion designed to clear the mind and quicken perceptions. A formula conceived between dreams, this is one for building energy while relaxing the nerves, for inviting presence and the supernatural, for easing and settling into the resolution that intuition and discernment bring, for remembering that which aids us in birthing the parts which make us the whole of who we are today.

the story:
No matter how many times you have seen a flower, there is nothing like the energy of renewal that the sight of new growth brings in the spring. There is an element of readiness present as the skies begin to warm with the frequency of the sun more pronounced, again. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, spring is the season aligned with the element of wood — solid yet supple, able to grow and spread. This season is also connected to the organs of the liver and the gallbladder, and for this reason, within this season, we attend to these organs to maximize the efficiency and healing power of what our body is doing at that time of the year. It is also true that within a single month, or even a single week or day, we experience all of the 4 seasons on a microcosmic level, so this potion is meant to hold us through the moment to moment renewal into spring that we each experience. The Way of Flowers teach us about flow; it reminds us to be confident and decisive, sure of who we are and are becoming in each moment. The Way of Flowers is one we become attuned to through observation of the patterns of nature at this time of year. We witness constant change and the unveiling of potential from the seed contained within. We learn about the bounty that a still and quiet winter has afforded us. It is through learning the Way of Flowers that we begin to channel forth the beauty and medicine held deep inside. It is known that the medicine contained within the flower of a plant is most concentrated in its blooming, most potent, and through this we are educated on the myriad possibilities of offerings that come with our unraveling. This spring elixir holds activation notes for our journey and provides us with sign posts that say “keep going” as we move along our voyage. Encoded with herbs effective for liver health, this formula is one meant to enhance the movement of inner tides, creating a smooth, even movement of chi and blood throughout the body. Like the spring often sets the tone for a year, the liver is directly related to the health of the entire body. To ensure proper reproductive function, the liver is responsible for manufacturing a good amount of the precursors to proper hormonal production. The herbs used here are particularly stimulating to the liver, a benefit accentuated by the final slightly sour taste of the formula — sour being particularly activating and healing to liver function. Schizandra berries is commonly known as the five flavors herb (or wu wei tza), with that sour taste coming to the forefront in all preparations involving a good amount of this berry. Schizandra is known to regulate fluid in the body while also promoting tranquility in the mind. This fruit emerged from a flower reminds us of the power of elegance as evidenced through patience. Schizandra is a fruit who only comes forth when there is both a male and female plant present, hinting at the necessity for a certain kind of balance and the ability of this plant to express their being in a variety of ways. Wu Wei Tza was thus favored in China by the emperors and people of the wealthy royal classes, and there was a practice of using this berry for 100 days straight to rejuvenate the kidneys (especially the sexual energy), brighten the mind, purify the blood, and clarify the skin. Combining these properties with the qualities of Rose hips and Elderberries provides not only a healer for the skin through their unified Vitamin C content, but also a boost to immunity and overall longevity of the organism. Rose hips are particularly effective for all deficiency of the kidneys which can manifest as lower back pains, muscle fatigue and ache, weak pulse, loose stools, and a number of other conditions. Rose hips bring a sort of lifting of the energies which soon put the radiance back in the eyes of those who may have otherwise lacked the luster of its once shimmering. Elderberries and Elderflowers, known for their immune fortifying potential, are also effective for skin care while serving to heal the liver — this alone makes them ideal for teenagers and those going through puberty who may be more prone to acne and other such outbreaks. They are also useful for detoxifying from cold and flu. Calendula flowers, Roses, and Red Clover blossoms are the other accomplices who come to remind us of the power of flowers and flowering. In essence form they each work in various ways — Calendula aids in helping us find our voice and reminding us of our innermost truths. They helps us to cultivate empathy and be more graceful and compassionate in our communications. This is an essence for relations, guiding us into community again after the winter may have had us a bit more isolated. Rose essence highlights our true essence and core nature — it guides us forward to who we have always been and compels us to act on purpose and without fear. Red Clover blossoms help to raise our vibratory frequency, both within the subtle energetic body and throughout our biochemistry. Red Clover essence is one that helps to transmute emotional wounds into the lessons and spaces where the light can shine through. The combination of these essences make us aware of the brilliance within us, like a flower waiting for the perfect time to bloom and showcase their full beauty. Medicinally, each of these is also effective for liver health, while serving as healers of both the heart and throat chakras. Calendula, with their gentle mucilage, soothing irritations of the lungs and throat, all the while working their way into the womb and reproductive spaces, providing relief as needed. Rose, with a high vibration of love, leading the heart to the place where it can be open and still remain protected, strong and still remain sensitive. Red Clover, a blossom which grows even in concrete jungles which is where I first encountered them, resonating as a spiral dance gracefully touching upon our bodies, surely escorting us into forward movement so that we may live again, uninterrupted by the shadows of memories that have been meaning to be transmuted. The Way of Flowers is one for the shapeshifters, those unafraid of evolution and willing to shine without concern of who it may offend, yet with the mindfulness that we all grow and bloom at our own pace.

the story:
The Summer is the fire that draws us out and in to the light of the Sun. Inherently, Summer has the power of attraction through luminosity. In the process of Womb Way, the Summer is the season when one becomes aware of the Mother within — when we can clearly perceive our magnitude and all of the variety of fruit that can come from the seeds planted. Like the Sun, we become ever aware of the power of the creator within. We become Magician and the Wheel of our own Fortune. Sun Bu’er, one of the seven Taoist masters and the only woman in recorded history to have become a Taoist master (this due to the repression of women), is a great example of magnifying our solar medicine while in operation with the influence of lunar dispositions. Sun Bu’er lived for years as a wealthy woman, married and with three children, and at 51 years she decided to become a nun and serve as a Taoist priest, ‘abandoning’ her duties as a mother and wife to realize her spiritual calling. Before this, she had already been engaged in her personal expressions through the art of calligraphy and the writing of poetry. Through her life as one of the Seven Perfected she wrote several poems which were used in her instruction of the Dao, alongside alchemical works outlining proper breathing and meditation techniques, circulation of the Qi, and even how to master one’s menstrual cycle. Sun Bu’er, through her devotion, became a symbol of liberty and for many she has served as Matriarch in the world of spirit. With Sun and her works in mind, this elixir came to be. Initially, it was considered the “Inner Elixir of Tranquility” as one of Sun’s titles was "Serene One of Clarity and Tranquility", and as the crafting process continued and the essences of jade and gold stepped forward to be included, one of her poems came to mind, and it felt quite natural that this potion capture the essence of metaphor and meaning in the poem “Gathering the Mind”. The essences of jade and gold serve as primary guiding forces here. Gold essence is naturally attuned to the solar frequency. Aiding in restoring self-esteem and self-love, while strengthening confidence in our gifts and creative powers, gold essence is the elixir of the alchemist able to transmute and refine. It is one very potent for the work of balancing intuition and logic, enabling us to flow with grace in our duties, earthly and spiritual. Jade contains a similar capacity and also holds the frequency of easing us into the present moment, enabling creation to flow with intention yet without attachment to a particular result, knowing that its medicine will be felt where and when it needs to be. Jade has been considered a beauty aid due to its ability to soften tension in the muscles, including the facial muscles, promoting beauty and grace, making this elixir particularly effective for the artists who walk in beauty, with expressions for the eyes to behold. With all the fire here, there is something very softening about this formula. Oatstraw and Linden are clear indicators of that. Oatstraw heals grief, so when we are working through things that we need to let go, Oatstraw provides relief. Like water, Oatstraw promotes an energy of ebb and flow, nourishing us where needed, reminding us that it is okay to just exhale. Linden is known to have similarly calming effects, providing coolness in inflamed conditions and even serving as a relief when inner heat manifests as physical irritation. Linden, or Tilia or “Tila” as we call it in Kiskeya, is rich in antioxidants and helps to eliminate dead cellular disinformation from the body, affording us a great deal of rejuvenation and even serving as a reset to the system. In silent and mindful workings with Tila and Hawthorn, we see their benefit on both the cardiovascular and digestive system. Traditional Chinese Medicine formulas often employ the use of Hawthorn as a digestive tonic, while in the West they are more regarded for matters of the heart. Corazoncito, Little Heart, as I like to call Hawthorn, is considered to be safe, effective for just about any heart condition, and have very low toxicity. This accomplice alleviates insomnia without the sedative effects of many sleeping medications. Yet, truly, this combination of Hawthorn, Linden, and Oatstraw provides more of a receptive space for inspiration to create. The grounding into the creative centers comes through the powers of Red Raspberry and Blessed Thistle leaves. Red raspberry leaves are very particular for the womb space, toning, strengthening, lifting, and tightening; while Blessed Thistle leaves mobilize the liver and call for the check of balance within both womb and liver. Blessed Thistle leaves are also considered to be ideal for postpartum as a stimulator of breast milk production through their ability to get the correct hormones in motion. Red raspberry leaves enhance the nutritional quality of the milk, all the while contributing to a flow in supply. In other terms, all of these are medicines of the heart, the heat, the warmth, the summer, the light that attracts and brings loved ones close. Sun Bu’er’s Poem is a potion for the creators, healers, teachers, and mothers, alike — the all-encompassing being, transcendent and grounded, evolving and true.

the story:
In the Autumn, the life force and medicine of plants becomes concentrated in their roots, the energy of the plants moves in a different and unified direction. In the Autumn, the Wise Woman speaks to us in whispers through the blowing wind upon our faces and crunching of leaves beneath our feet. It is in the Autumn that we gather the harvest of bounty brought through more sun-lit days, and we begin to turn our energy inward while, perhaps, recalling the cheer and joy of the outward yang (spring and summer) seasons. In the wind of this Fall, we hear many songs speak the same message of surrender. Along with the harvest of fruit, we may also bring in the seed which will wait to burst forth in the coming spring. Yet part of the surrender of the time is not just in letting go, but also in that waiting. The I Ching says, “here, in the seed, in the deep hidden stillness, the end of everything is joined to a new beginning”. Thus, the seed which also becomes a root before it becomes a fruit, is the symbol of the Autumn. In death, we see the potential for rebirth and we also witness the refinement that dying brings. A Union of Roots is noted in gathering the variety of what we have created in the seasons of birthing. This is a union that gives us hope and faith as we see what was changing form into new being, not dying as we might perceive it, but simply conserving energy to emerge in a new state, through a new way, perhaps even more abundant than before. The roots make themselves known here, reminding us that foundations need not only be strong to hold us up throughout time — they must also be nourishing. With such wisdom presented through their medicine, all of the roots used in this formula are high in nutrients and powerful in their workings. Nettle root contains phenolic compounds which make it ideal in reducing the rate of oxidation in the organism and, thus, serving as a remedy for degeneration that can occur on multiple levels. Nettle root also contains a wide array of minerals including magnesium, sodium, selenium, iron, zinc, and others. This is a quality that Sachikili (as Nettle is known in the Tongva language), Yellow Dock, Burdock Root, and Yatatkosot (Dandelion in the Tongva language) all share, providing the necessary nourishment that bears witness to a quality foundation. Yellow dock contains an enriching iron supply, and exponentially so when paired with Dandelion or Yatatkosot. One of their primary uses is as a skin healer through targeting poor digestion and poor liver function (this tincture pairs exceptionally with “Way of Flowers” for matters of the skin and to make the iron in this one more bioavailable). Burdock Root is another one that, like both Dandelion and Yellow dock, have a strong impact on the liver, yet Burdock is particular for helping to eliminate excess hormones, all while contributing to the body’s nutritional support system. Each of these roots holds ancestral medicine in their own right — silently reinforcing our powers and gifts as we elevate their story in our lives. In Traditional Chinese Medicine Dandelion is known as Pu Gong Ying and is used to clear out toxic heat conditions — this makes them ideal for alleviating any stagnant dampness that has resulted from grief that may have turned into resentment or even anger. Something that I have found to be an effective Autumn ritual with this tincture is offering each of the roots here for a specific emotional or energetic condition that we might have known our ancestors to have experienced, as a form of elevation. Perhaps offering Dandelion if they experienced anger or liver issues; giving them a drop and offering Valerian if they were or are restless and have needed to be at ease; Ginger root if digestive upsets, constipation, or other such stagnancy was something that they needed help with; you know the medicine that your people and spirits need — this ritual is an invitation to a healing discipline. This elixir, like the Autumn, invites you into deeper attention of the situations that have brought you to the point where you find yourself, and some of these situations are such that aren’t so much personal as they are the stories of those who have in one way or another impacted you and, so, whose energetic imprint you have to decide to integrate, cut cords with, or in some way transmute. Valerian root is a medicinal which promotes the alpha brain waves that ease us into greater flow and mental relaxation, facilitating the voice of our intuition and enabling us to abide in the liminal space where potential knows few to no limits. Ginger root proves to a catalyst, making this a versatile potion safe to be used by children, teens, pregnant people, and elders. With the Union of Roots, we are able to go deep, see what has been, and channel a vision for what could be. Here we gather our strengths and become cognizant of the resources readily available to us for expansion and liberation, to create discipline and ritual in our journey, while propelling us to embody new forms and ideas of harmonic evolution.

the story:
When The Great Wave approaches, do not be frightened for it is the cloak of the dreamers and seers, of those unafraid of their night vision and the shadows we can see out of the corners of our eyes. The Great Wave approaches those who say they are ready to go deep, even if they claimed it and later realize the depths are made of more than the treasures they went looking for. The Great Wave — consider the phrase and close your eyes for a minute: what can you imagine? If you were to look more closely into the waves, what would you see? What deep sea ‘monsters’ might emerge from the black holes serving as portals in ocean floor? What other life might you encounter? Might you find a deep mystery, the one you forgot you had been searching about? The Great Wave comes loaded with heart and memory, a mind of unified consciousness, aware of it all. The winter offers you silent access into the whisper of knowledge that the Akasha holds. Contemplating the Great Waves off Kanagawa, I considered something I had learned about myself a while ago. In my Mandarin Chinese 2 college course, the professor transliterated each of our names — she told me mine is Ai-Xi Luo which means “lover of the world”; like Akasha, set to hold it all close to heart and memory. It seemed very fitting, even considering the Aquarian nature and all, even considering my birth day and birthing days as being in the winter. The Great Wave of Ai-Xi Luo is my medicine dream for the world, and the elements that make it come through as interplanetary plant bodies and an essence, black as the fertile earth and rich in stories. The winter of our lives is the final preparation for the transition into other forms. It is when the dying is finally dead, when it is made clear that the decay is to be nourishment for the seeds due to grow, when the energies of legacy and immortality can more readily be witnessed as the same plants we see fading promise a blossoming tomorrow. The winter invites us to be present in the moments, for by then we have seen how quickly they seem to go, how time passes, tirelessly and without breaking. Winter is the season of those who sleep to dream and live in a continuous stream of the mind’s imagination. It calls us to embrace more, as the weather sometimes incites us to wrap our arms around ourselves, in familiarity of our inner light and warmth. For the visionaries, winter always feels like an invitation to sit within our own crown centers, observing in silence and channeling the conception of the eternal mind which sometimes calls for a resting ground. For the visionaries, mugwort leaves serve as a potent companion. Named Artemisia after the goddess of the moon, and known as “Altamisa” in Kiskeya, mugwort is used ceremoniously to lift the spirits. Used in moxa, in Traditional Chinese Medicine, mugwort again shows evidence of moving energies when combined with the element of fire. In combination with roots like Ginger, mugwort is effective for treating any digestive congestion that impedes visions from flowing. Altamisa is also effective for stimulating menstrual bleeding when the blood has been absent. The leaves alone are potent enough to be mixed in with an oil and make a strong flying ointment. The 3rd eye stimulating qualities of this plant are made stronger with the company of Vitex whose medicine, when used in the indicated dosages, affect the pituitary glands to increase fluidity of communication within all of the intuitive centers in the body. Vitex also comes in handy when relief of breast and menstrual pain is needed. In magickal tradition, they are known to promote qualities of modesty, enabling the concentration and silence that winter calls us into. The winter is also the season of the kidneys and several plants used here particularly target this region. These include nettle root, lady’s mantle, and mugwort. Burdock root is ideal for overall bodily and, specifically, kidney health. Nettle root brings about a necessary cleansing in urinary tract and kidneys, helping to heal inflammations and clear out the blood as needed. Nettle has an overall corrective power in the body when it comes to the water element — they increase and enrich milk flow, reduce water retention, and serve as a specific remedy when menstruation is excessive. Nettle is even good when used for certain allergies, making them ideal as a preparatory herb between winter and spring. Burdock reflects some of these qualities, equally reducing inflammation and fluid retention. With Lady Mantle’s in this formula, we are offered more of the cloaking and energetic shielding of the Great Wave. On a physical level, Lady’s Mantle, which is also known as the “little alchemist” or Alchemilla, contains salicylic acid and has properties which help to alleviate cramps and otherwise painful menstruation. In other times, they have been used as a poultice for helping to firm and tone the breasts, so they have been considered to be a beauty tonic. Lady’s Mantle, so named because their leaves appear looking like a cloak or mantle, has the power to protect us from imbalances to our system which contribute to infertility and any other issues which can arise within our reproductive centers. With milk thistle seeds, this is a rejuvenating potion which helps to reset our cellular information within the sacral and solar plexus spaces, enabling us to shed the programming that we have inherited through certain traumas. Milk thistle also promotes a certain level of emotional clarity through helping clear out fear, grief, and anger all at once. Through time, their medicine brings these energies to the surface for our observation, soon transmuting them through whatever great wave of emotional release then arises. Ginger root brings balance of heat to also help us stay warmly protected through the cooler times in the year and in our lives. The Great Wave of Ai-Xi Luo is a formula for profound pondering, deep dreaming, and complete cleansing. The herbals in this potion not only cleanse the kidney meridian and surrounding organs, including the reproductive, they also aid in clarifying our lives of old energies that have pooled up and stagnated within our entire vibrational system. Consistently working with these accomplices aids us in reseting our rhythms to the natural motion of the universe; here, we are able to access wisdom that supports our growth within and our development throughout.

the story:
This essence came to be following a birthing journey that I assisted a friend with. Intuitively, I selected the essences which said themselves to be most supportive to their healing transition. Madre Flores came forth, naturally, as the name because these flowers mother the spirit, heart, mind, and body to wholeness. Madre Flores is an essence blend consecrated with the powers to clear the energetic body, uplift the vibration within the subconscious mind, and overall restructure the template which guides our modes of operation. In a deep sense, this is an essence for rebirthing after birthing or even allowing certain deaths. Mother Flowers is formulated with a combination of essences which raise the frequency and enable us to perceive our experiences as witness and creator, as opposed to victim or subject. It helps us refine how we birth, and even why. It offers us awareness of our becoming through cognizance of our origins. The flower and web essences in Madre Flores all contribute to the expansion into our full potential, and this is experienced in the way that this elixir vitalizes the core of our being, reminding us of both purpose and the power of moving with will and in intention. Mimosa essence is particularly unique, both due to the appearance of the Mimosa flower and also because of the way that this essence helps to create a bridge of healthy communication between heart and mind. It enables us to perceive things as they truly are and not through filters which have been acquired in time and experience. Mimosa flower also resolves grief by refreshing the elements that may be causing a level of sadness. This one brings clarity to heart and mind furthering the work of Star of Bethlehem which particularly targets cellular information when working to shift conditions. In essence, Star of Bethlehem is like a light into the dark. It helps us see clearly the clutter that we have stuffed in corners and which is creating ghosts. It helps us figure out how we can put these ghosts to rest in peace so that we may move forward. Star of Bethlehem, perhaps not surprisingly, offers support to both mother and child after birthing. They even serve to assist families in the transitions that accompany the postpartum process. Spiderweb fairs well within all of this as they offer an extra shield to individuals and those they love. Spiderweb is a known healer of wounds, and as such work to repair when there have been tears and abrupt openings made as result of affliction — this essence brings closure. It is with Hibiscus and Night blooming Jasmine that the workings of Mimosa, Star of Bethlehem, and Spiderweb find a great synchronicity. Hibiscus and Mimosa together impact the womb-heart and the heart, helping to open and simultaneously release where necessary. Together, they create a softening which is met with the renewed faith and trust that Star of Bethlehem awakens in the spirit. In this combination, we see shifts that are sustained long-term. Nightblooming Jasmine provides further illumination through the aspects that Star of Bethlehem brings attention to. Collaboratively, these vibrational essences are giving us a clear view and providing us with a clear blueprint for our process and progress. In a way, the Spiderweb weaves the story of all of these medicines in one bottle, helping us to sit with complexity in a way that is effortless yet present. Madres Flores is a postpartum essence for all those who have birthed, who intend to birth, who have experienced death and seek to create from the fertility it can bring. The essences here guide us through the day, into the night, within the dreams, and throughout the expanse of our full being. Our true and creative self reawakened, we remember who we were when we emerged from our mother’s womb, we remember the beauty that can come from the deep dark.
A note about using flower essences:
flower essences are not oils. They are vibrational healing remedies which affect and change energetic conditions and, like some oils and other medicines, can be used internally, on acupuncture/acupressure points and chakras, sprayed in the energy field, dripped in your water, and even used for personal and professional massaging. It is best to use an essence or combination and/or group of essences for 30-33 days to permanently shift patterns and create new habits, healthier lifeways.

the story:
Witnessing the crown and crowning of the birth experience, we are able to open up and still feel safe and protected as needed in such a moment. Witness of the Crown is for those willing to behold the power and glory brought about by certain conjunctions which further result in major transformation. After the birthing, we can never be the same as before because this experience comes to alter and exalt us. Formulated with Lapis Lazuli and Palo Santo essences, this blend is meant to make us feel confident to speak up and voice our needs while remaining protected enough to have them met or being able to identify when a situation is not contributing to our nourishment. These are also helpful when one is overstimulated or overwhelmed by circumstances and needs to find some relief — they have a clearing effect and can help to clarify confusion. This is further offered through the essence of Ix-canan, otherwise known as Firebush, which aids us in getting to the truth of matters even through the labor of undoing and unlearning programming that has contributed to whatever cognitive dissonance is also the result of taught disembodiment. Ix-canan, especially when paired with Partridge pea, brings us deep remembrance of the innate wisdom contained in our bodies. It grounds us into the somatic space so that we can have a more graceful birthing experience, whether we are physically giving birth or not — it provides us with acute awareness of the hunches and impressions that our physical vessel experiences when moving through all sorts of situations and shifting through conditions. The medley of Hibiscus, Ix-canan, and Partridge pea is also particular for tapping into insights provided from heart and emotional intelligence. These three serve as an uprooting mix for old emotions, stagnant grief, and resentment or anger which may have accumulated from having felt violated or otherwise neglected. Hibiscus bridges the intelligence of the womb and heart, giving us clear imprints on when to even move in certain ways or do certain things. In the physical birthing experience, Hibiscus in conjunction with Spanish needle provide direct guidance for when to push, when to wait, how to breath, and how to connect with our vocal vibration to bring relief and healing to our womb and overall body. This essence promotes ways for us to tangibly and quantitatively express the sensations that we feel throughout our body, so there is something about its medicine that enhances an earth flow in the being, helping us to balance the air, earth, and water elements within our constitution. Within witnessing the crown, we are able to stand, sit, ground, and move in alignment with where we actually are, in time-space and in ourselves, at each moment. It is an essence for establishing presence and being with the present, fully engaged and wholeheartedly involved, evolving.

the story:
It was the eve of a Scorpio moon when a local community member contacted me asking for companionship in her process of an at-home abortion. Well-advised by her physician and a naturopathic doctor, I rose to the call. In the process of packing to go on my journey of holding space, I decided to craft an essence that would support us both through this — The 13th Sign was then born. Months prior to this, on March 13th, a Friday the 13th with a moon in Scorpio, I had crafted an essence blend with Snakeskin, Poke, and Star of Bethlehem which came forward as support after a personal experience I’d had with death and dying. These three essences had done a potent work within me; facilitating safe space to grieve and purge through my emotional expressions, all the while gifting me with visions of renewed futures. Snakeskin had been particularly supportive as one which I had conceived through an ancestral dream where I was directly instructed to sit Snakeskin in water for 13 days following my 30th birthday. Later, it would all make sense why this was a necessity for me. Snakeskin essence is uncrossing and liberating, showing us what we are holding onto that could be constricting, binding, and slowing down our movement. This is an essence that one of my ancestors explained to be effective for works of unblocking the energetic system and purifying input and output channels so that our flow is more crystalline and aligned with true character and basis of being. Combined with Poke and Star of Bethlehem, this is one which is also ideal for transmuting personal and ancestral grief. Poke and Star of Bethlehem are both known to help us make changes on an acute and cellular level — this quality offers us sustained transitions and the evolution that they bring. Star of Bethlehem soothes the heart after shocks leave one feeling stuck or in a state of subconscious flight, promoting groundness in our center and innerstanding of the reasoning behind what has occurred. This essence encourages inner strength. Poke also contributes to this by providing us with the vigor to overcome emotional and mental obstacles, those deep-seated issues which seem to keep us stuck in loops of repetitive behaviors and reactions. Poke also serves as a mutually beneficial accomplice — Poke essence helps us to tap into our ancestors and become aware not only of how they are guiding us but also how they seek to be healed or what sorts of actions we can take to further liberate them into a resting state so that they can be properly elevated. Thus, this is a blend that can be used not only when one is seeking to accept the dying and death, but also when we wish to make offerings to those who have transitioned and are unsure of where to start. Poke and Cerasee together with Star of Bethlehem is a true formula for massive upgrades. With these as supportive we are able to allow old habits, ways, forms, and shapes to die with grace while we look forward with trust in what the waves of adjustment might bring in. Angel’s Trumpet as catalyzing force in this elixir, we are granted elevation into the state which follows the karmic discharge. In the metamorphosis, there is great promise — nothing can ever be the same anymore, things can only be better, life can only be more refined, and for this we are thankful. This essence fertilizes the ground for what we do want to see growing.

the story:
With this essence, the story of our time here and the times before the first instance of humanity’s ancestors becomes clearer. Amanita muscaria has a rich history and while she has sometimes been regarding as a “deadly” or “toxic” mushroom, they actually have an extensive medicinal use and are considered safe for ingestion when prepared properly (such as in this essence form). It is emblematic in the human psyche and their image can be seen everywhere from the Mario video games to modern day emojis / pictographic internet and cellphone response codes. (Remember how Amanita mushroom gave Mario a “boost”? Ha.) With today’s technology, we have been able to access a storehouse of information about this mushroom, and when we are graced with their presence in person, it is truly no wonder why this hongo is revered and respected by many indigenous and shamanic cultures. In essence form, Amanita mushroom is applicable for so much. Many mushroom essences have a shared medicinal profile of encouraging transformation and change. Mushroom essences are also particular for enabling us to come into spaces of connection and reciprocity; they are for community-weaving and culture-shifting and building. Crafted through sun in Scorpio with a full moon in Taurus, this Amanita medicine helps us to remain stable in the face of death, so it is also ideal in grief work and for death doulas. Because of this dynamic solar and lunar influence, the Time Traveler Catalyst is charged to bring insight to and connection with our shadow side and the fragmented parts of us needing soul retrieval. It is one that I have found to be especially useful during breathwork and in my yoga practice as it enables me to drop more deeply into my body and simultaneously connect with the psychoemotional through perception of organ function and increasing spiritual awareness. Amanita muscaria is called “Fly Agaric” which also alludes to its effectiveness in aiding spiritual travel; this quality figures heavily in Amanita’s capacity to guide us as we traverse not only the shadow lands but also our dream worlds. By creating harmonic resonance with our organs and bodily systems, el hongo instructs us on where the pain of traumas more deeply impacts our bodies and leads us toward transmuting the hurt into healing. Amanita muscaria is particular for repair after sexual and sensual violations or to resolve any guilt or inadequacy we may feel in that regard. This translates well into an uplifting of our creative forces which moreover helps us to create music, paintings, poems, and other forms of art with more ease and trust in our abilities. This is a strength-promoting and encouraging essence that helps us to feel confident in our abilities and becoming enough to release the impact of experiences beyond our control, thus supporting the capacity to begin and continue creating what we desire.
NOTE: This is an essence, not an infusion, tincture, or other extract, so it is very safe. Considering the information shared above, please be very mindful if you ever decide to work with Amanita in other forms. It is advised that extensive research be done.

the story:
Mother of All Lands is a formula based on a remedy well-known to Kiskeyans from the ‘Dominican’ side of the island. Quisqueya/Kiskeya is said to mean “Great Land” or “Mother of All Lands”, hence the name of this medicine. There is a variation of the potion which is sold commercially at most of the grocery stores where you might find all the ‘island folk’ getting their roots and foods from — that variation is known as La Señora Muller, and all the women in my family who came to the United States have used this one… However, many of us have our own OG versions of the formula, pre-commercialization. The ones my mother, aunts, and their friends have long used are based on formulations created by my grandmother, a bottle of this always stocked in the fridge. I had been taking the formula in the customary way, since the first day of my first menses, but it wasn’t until I conceived my firstborn at age 14 that I would really become curious about this potion and what it could do in the body. The day my mother found out I was pregnant, she took the bottle out of the fridge and told me to drink it — the intention was to induce a miscarriage. Her 14 year old baby having a baby was not something that my mother could stomach, and understandably so. My daughter was set in place, though, so she wasn’t going anywhere — an induced miscarriage attempt was futile. The potion didn’t do what my mother wanted it to do, and later, after doing my own research, I learned that most of the herbs in the formula are safe during pregnancy so of course it wasn’t going to work for that. After giving birth to my daughter, my intimacy with this formula deepened. My aunt advised use of it for postpartum pains, and it worked like a miracle. Cramp bark at the fore as primary ingredient, it was no wonder why this one was so potent for that. Cramp bark is one well-known for their capacity to alleviate cramping, aches, spasms, and tensions. They are used as uterine nervine for helping to relieve pains and relax the uterine muscles. In the female reproductive system, Cramp bark has the capacity to help regulate the function of the ovaries, helping to establish cyclical balance. Contrary to my mother’s attempts on that one intense day, Cramp bark is actually ideal when one is experiencing nervous conditions or irregularities which may threaten to induce or contribute to potential miscarriage. The effects of Cramp bark pair well with Chamomile as they both possess tonic qualities for the womb, helping to correct matters such as excessive bleeding for instance. Chamomile, also known as Manzanilla in Kiskeya and some other Spanish speaking countries, is one that has been used in my family for many generations — so far, I’ve been able to trace use of this plant back to my great great grandparents on both sides of my family. Growing up, we used and witnessed it been used for everything — flus, allergies, stomachaches, headaches, menstrual aches, food poisoning, bug bites, skin inflammations, postpartum let-down and depressions, spiritual possessions, and the likes… In this formula, Chamomile is particular for working in the nervous system, treating disorders and stresses which may factor in to or be a result of womb ailments. In this way, Chamomile is useful for womb health. This one is also good for the digestive system and the liver by way of the bitter principles it contains. Digestive complaints tend to respond well to Chamomile, and indigestion is often relieved, too. Chamomile is a versatile plant which can work as subtly or as strongly as you need them to. Manzanilla is also very soothing postpartum not only for mamas but also for babies when fussy with colic or other digestive bothers. Initially, the mother may drink it as infusion to transfer to the baby through breastmilk, and after a month or two the chamomile infusion can be administered directly in 3-4 drops dosages. In Kiskeya, it is often brewed for the first bath of a baby days after birth. This water is considered protective, relaxing, and helps to ground the soul energy of the child into this dimension, something that is also furthered by the physical bonding of the mama and baby. This fragrant flower is very effective to lift our spirits during menstruation, pregnancy, birthing, postpartum, menopause, and beyond. Surely, it is an ally for the feminine and water spirits. The combination of Spearmint and Holy basil, both mints, have a profound impact on the lungs, stomach, and liver, all of which are organs whose function impacts that of the reproductive system. Spearrmint and Holy basil also work well to clear stagnation in the womb space and bring on the menses when absent or delayed, especially if combined with Ginger (who is not in this formula). The aromatic qualities of these herbs can contribute to a simultaneous soothing and awakening of the senses. Orange peel furthermore has stimulant potential and is usually employed in Kiskeyan formula to potentiate the other medicines, meaning that it helps to bring out the qualities of other plants in a more pronounced way. This is something that also helps to ease the movement of a formula through the blood and, thus, the entire organism. Like all the other plants in Mother of All Lands, Orange peel is a tonic and can prove favorable for strengthening whatever bodily systems it works within. Gentian is a plant that is used in this and other Kiskeyan preparations for reproductive health of all people. On top of cleansing the digestive tract and stimulating the secretion of digestive fluids, Gentian also helps to treat venereal conditions and has been used for PID (pelvic inflammatory disease). Using this potion in fertility enhancement programs is also ideal. Mother of All Lands is one which reminds us of our creative potential as reflective of the womb space from which we are birthed. This formula is for initiations of all sorts, and specifically for those becoming aware of the Mother self or needing help with mending their relations to maternal energies. It is one for ease through big transitions and inner graduations, meant to charge you with the fluidity, versatility, and groundedness of the divine Mothers.

the story:
Birthing Beauty is based on a formula I shared with my students several years ago when I first started offering the apprentice journey. Some of them later on used it during their childbirth experiences and reported ease in labor and through contractions. Birthing Beauty is a formula meant to assist us in the process of birthing, whether a human life or our own creative projects and endeavors. All of the herbals in this formula have the effect of relaxing so that the process in the birth portal can be more graceful. Beyond pregnancy, labors, and childbirth, this tincture is ideal from days 1-14 of the menstrual cycle to help alleviate cramps and pains, all the while balancing estrogen and serving as a uterine tonic. Black Cohosh is particularly effective during the bleeding phase of our cycle, aiding in relieving night sweats, headaches, and other such hormonal-related symptoms. According Prescription for Herbal Healing’s excerpt on this plant medicine, they contain at least three classes of compounds that work to regulate hormone use. The literature furthermore states that the compounds “bind to receptor sites in the reproductive tract, brain, and other organs that otherwise would receive estrogen. This reduces overall estrogen activity when estrogen levels are high”. Alternatively, Black Cohosh has a stabilizing impact which is evidenced through the way that those same compounds block the formation of luteinizing hormone “which stimulates a surge of estrogen production in the first 14 days of the menstrual cycle.” This means that when estrogen is low or high, Cimicifuga (another name for Black Cohosh) helps with both estrogen production and reduction. Further findings reveal that Black Cohosh is also effective for improving the quality of sperm and its motility, moreover correcting infertility in males and sperm-holders. One of the great things about this plant is that, unlike synthetic hormone replacement therapy, Black Cohosh does not stimulate the growth of breast tumors. Actually this plant helps with lactation and alleviates dryness in the body; this is very specifically evident through the mammary glands and generative organs. In essence form, Black Cohosh enables us to undo ourselves from toxic environments and relationships; it is an initiation medicine which is also known as “black snakeroot” and proves to be a great catalyst in times of deep transformation, birth or death. Being combined with Blue Cohosh makes it especially ideal for ailments and happenings within the reproductive system. Native peoples have long used Blue Cohosh for a wide array of conditions afflicting the uterus. Infusions and tinctures of the root are called forth to slow down excessive menstrual bleeding, ease contractions during labor and childbirth, stop bleeding postpartum, and help to rebuild uterine tissue after delivery. Blue Cohosh contains anti-inflammatory qualities which support the treatment of skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis and other such inflammatory presentations which are ultimately rooted in liver overload. The liver is a key digestive organ which also contains precursory elements for proper hormonal activity in all bodies. Thus, this tincture is also ideal for people who experience acne and such conditions connected to both liver and hormonal shifts. It is worth noting that both Black and Blue cohosh (unrelated plants which work well together for particular situations) have a potential for toxicity when used in large doses and over an extended period of time, so it is not ideal to use this tincture for more than 3 months at a time. Enter Motherwort: she is soothing to the heart, to the womb, to the mind, to the nerves; she offers support. In this formula, Motherwort is effective for bringing calm during stress, tensions, or labor. Alone or combined with roots such as Black Cohosh, Motherwort is a trustworthy companion during times of depression and anxiety, when the heart is experiencing disquiet and upset. Like Blue Cohosh, Motherwort is anti-inflammatory. This Mother’s plant is also detoxifying and supports the liver in helping the body expel excess hormones. Simultaneously, all three of these herbals have the synergistic effect of aiding us into new states of being on all levels, from physical to spiritual. Motherwort and Black Cohosh also share the trait of assisting us when we are coping through the effects of trauma, whether physical, psychological, and/or emotional.

the story:
“Relax” is the first ‘action’ and formula in our 3-step womb care program. It is important for us to relax because if we are tense, overly stressed, overwhelmed, overstimulated, or hyperactive, it becomes that much more difficult to approach health and integrate whatever healing work we do. Relax is the first step because it helps us settle our minds, hearts, and bodies enough to be able to fully perceive what healing work needs to be done, the best way to do it, and furthermore have the energy to act on that. This alcohol-free glycerite is ideal for soothing our senses and nurturing our bodies. Lemon balm and Oatstraw are in conspiracy here, working synergistically to help us pinpoint what is due to be released, all while aiding us in settling into more a serene and even-tempered energetic signature. Lemon balm can naturally relieve headaches and other aches which are likely to be experienced during the first trimester while the body is going through drastic hormonal shifts and attempting to adapt to the new flows. This is also useful for people who are not pregnant and just need to take the edge off after a stressful day. For all people, Lemon balm is helpful to the digestive system. This plant contains antispasmodic properties afforded by its essential oils and can help to relieve gassy conditions and the pains of air trapped in the system. The essential oils also make it effective upon the respiratory system which contributes to Lemon balm’s capacity for helping us to naturally clear our lungs and be able to breathe more deeply. Melissa, as Lemon balm is otherwise known, is mothering for children and helps calm fussy babies and tireless children. In Kiskeya, we give a mixture of Lemon balm and breastmilk to babies who are colicky. Oatstraw is another one for the babes and is particularly nourishing to all. This one contains a wide array of minerals, high in magnesium and calcium — also providing reinforcement to the supportive structures in our bodies, specifically the musculoskeletal system. An elder once advised this one for sadness, and I found that it works exceptionally to help mend our hearts. Grief often gets stored in our lungs and, like Lemon balm, Oatstraw can help clarify that space of any stagnant grief it is holding in the form of mucus and waters. In my practice, I have learned that when paired with tapping the point between on my chest where the thymus is (using my index and middle finger), Oatstraw tends to induce emotional purging and a subsequent feeling of lucidity, openness, and purity. It has diuretic properties which work in the kidneys and urinary region, helping to treat water retention, UTIs, kidney stones, and even associated lymphatic congestion. With their mineral richness, Oatstraw and Lemon balm also prove to help strengthen hair, nails, teeth, and bones. Throughout the world, both of these plants are revered for their supreme relaxing actions, so it is no wonder that the math of their combination equals ‘relaxation’. As we soften, unwind, open, and recline, we are able to restore ourselves from any deficiency and help remind our vessel of its self-sufficiency.

the story:
After we relax, we are consequentially more brightened and enlightened in our dispositions. Naturally, then, this glycerite follows as the second step in our 3-step womb care program. To be bright is to radiate, to emanate from a stabilized core, grounded in whole self. The “Brighten” formula is designed to reduce any upsets, physical or mental, which may be impeding our flow and glow. This formula is also effective to help stimulate the digestive processes so as to expel anything which may be causing an issue with us receiving the nourishment that we have relaxed our bodies into. Chamomile and Ginger come together here offering a bright yellow color to the glycerin and furthermore being a recalibrating medicine for our solar plexus and sol force energy. Ginger is a warming tonic which affects the entire reproductive system and is particularly suited for smoothening the menstrual flow and counteracting digestive issues when one is pregnant for instance. In places like India, Ginger is considered a “Great Remedy” because it has such a wide array of use and application methods. Mixed with honey or glycerin, this root benefits those experiencing sore throats, coughs, colds, or excessive bronchial catarrh. It brings vitality to the body, stimulating the blood and activating a variety of systems into proper actions. In China, Ginger is used to relieve nausea, vomiting, gas, indigestion, and gastritis, while also being considered toning to the intestines. Other traditions use Ginger regularly as tonic to help prevent spreading of contagious disease. Its warming impact on the body alongside its pungent quality help to induce sweating which may contribute to the expelling of toxins and waste through the skin. Their digestive use translates into overall clarity and ‘brightening’ — Ginger is known to improve memory and alertness. This has a great fusion with the benefits of Chamomile whose gentleness instills in us a sunny disposition. In pregnancy, the combination of Chamomile and Ginger is a highly recommended remedy for morning sickness and digestive sluggishness. Manzanilla (chamomile) is excellent for the nervous system and possesses anti-inflammatory substances which heal swellings, soothe achy joints and muscles, and help to correct other inflammations. Something perhaps less known about Manzanilla is that is contains a good amount of highly bioavailable calcium so it can be strengthening to the bones. This is an ally which fortifies the structure of our body and enhances the framework of our existence. In ancient Kemet, Manzanilla was used as offering to the sun gods, furthermore hinting at this plant’s strong affinity for what is bright and solar. It has a good amount of potassium, so it tones the heart. The more we dig into the history of this ally, the more uses and applications we find for it and the more we can credibly consider this one a Panacea in the world of plant remedies. Speaking more to the clearing effect that this potion has, both Ginger and Chamomile have been used for mucus congestion of the chest and nasal passages further helping to clear fluid stagnation within our respiration. This one can and should be used for a long time and a lot of ‘things’. It helps us see with new eyes — the Brighten formula holds us up even during times when we are not entirely “feeling ourselves”, maybe not seeing our own brilliance; Chamomile and Ginger offer their energies as gentle reminders.

the story:
The last, but not the least — nourishment is the action which seals the healing deal. Relaxed and brightened, we emerge ready to claim and fully integrate the abundance that is rightfully ours. We are nourished by the knowing that we are supported by the plants, our ancestors, our families and friends, and our own decisions and intentions. Having consciously and deliberately embarked on a healing journey is a choice which affords us a great deal of reward, and the promise of this 3-step program or even just working with one such as “Nourish” (by itself) is that you will be supported as you journey and expand into a greater state of harmony. The act of trusting that personal and specific needs will be met in each moment takes courage, and Nourish is entirely imbued with heart, reassuring us that it is safe to step forward fearlessly and break cycles of disease, illness, and trauma. Nettle and Dandelion are incredibly rich in their ways. The address the whole body and soul in very unique ways. Nettle, a plant who grows wild and abundantly in many countries, is abundant in minerals, vitamins, and uses. Ortiga (as we call it in Kiskeya) helps to purify the blood and cleanse the lungs, chest, heart, and breasts. Continued use of this medicine helps to clear the stomach of poisons and expel leeching worms, a quality which reflects Nettle’s spiritual use as a aura cleanser and energetic protector. In juice and infusion form, Ortiga is effective for increasing flows — of menstruation, breast milk, and creativity alike. This also improves overall circulation and the strength of the current in our electromagnetic fields. Naturally, as a result, we attract more in alignment with true abundance as we are able to see what is actually of value in our worlds… Clinical studies have shown that Nettle helps to relieve symptoms of allergies and related discomforts. Through this we are able to see one of this plant main balancing qualities — it not only stimulates flow but also checks and exacts it when happening in excess. This is also specific within the menstrual cycle as Nettle can both promote bleeding while also serving to correct a disproportionate period. In the postpartum period both Nettle and Dandelion help to revitalize the mother and, through enhancing the quality of milk, enliven the baby. In damp and heavy conditions such as mucus in the colon or lungs, or water retention, Nettle and Dandelion’s effect on the kidneys comes in strong. Dandelion has strong diuretic properties, making it a relief for the kidneys and urinary organs when overburdened with excess water. Certain traditions and practices advise the use of Dandelion for 2 months straight to help heal certain liver and kidney illnesses. The impact on the liver is also one that is good for improving digestive processes, so Dandelion shows use as stomach tonic and one which can enhance powers of nutrient assimilation. In my ancestral traditions, Dandelion grants us the wish of deeper and clearer communications with our spirits, so this one is often taken internally or used for external washes before divinations, psychic journeys, or works involving extensive use of the intuitive aspects. In the same way, Dandelion helps establish more graceful connection and transmission through the body. Both of these plants teach us about the wealth inherent in being grounded in and aware of ourselves and our processes. Cleansing and nourishing, invigorating and balancing, Nettle and Dandelion will enable us to charge through distortions and fears into certainty, safety, and longevity.

A potent medley of sunny herbals with lunar undertones, Harmonic Vitality is infused with the energies of awakening, brightening, rejuvenating, activating, and mobilizing. It is an herb-infused oil intended to align us with the conjunctions between our innerscapes and outer expressions — this is reflective of the way the sun and moon are conjunct during the new moon phase while also mirroring the harmony that such as aspect can imply. Helichrysum is a member of the sunflower family which figures heavily in this herbal blend macerated in sunflower oil. Naturally, this plant possesses strong solar signatures, yellow flowering with an essential oil whose properties are applicable in instances when the skin can use some clearing; when applied topically over a period of time, this oil is useful in treating scars, wrinkles, bruises, and burns. Helichrysum has been touted as useful for providing relief from coughs and spasms when the oil is applied to the chest. This floral is also regarded in alleviating muscle aches and pains, furthermore serving as protectant for the nervous system. Calendula is similarly applicable for burns and the like. When infused in oil and applied to the skin, Calendula provides a warming energy helping us to tune into our innate solar aspects and that within us which feeds our growing and glowing light. When combined with Chamomile and Goldenrod, the solar energy becomes that much more pronounced. With reverent use, this oil becomes a medicine for times when one may feel depressed, low on energy, or out of sorts. Chamomile is especially soothing to the nervous system and can help to alleviate anxiety. Goldenrod has repairing qualities for the skin while also serving to boost immunity and a sense of health. Holy basil and Catnip provide aroma in the oil, so this combination is effective for helping to awaken ancient memories that can be used as codes for the future. Like Chamomile, Catnip and Holy Basil also nourish the nerves and help to settle the spirit in the present. Like Helichrysum, Schizandra berries offer revitalization which helps to awaken all of the senses and get our body and blood moving. Schizandra’s adaptogenic and shielding qualities translate well in this herbal infused oil as it helps to encourage adaptability and protection as we move through the world and life situations. Like the new moon energy with which this oil is charged, Schizandra also helps us to make sense of what has been impressed upon us and moreover express with clarity and in brilliance. Pine needles are high in vitamin C and cleansing for the skin, making this oil blend even more so supportive of perceiving with lucidity and being perceived in splendor. Harmonic Vitality is an oil of alignment and becoming from a space of equilibrium.

Full Moons offer impetus for great change while simultaneously deepening the acuity of our perception. This oil is charged with the power to do just that. Crafted on a full moon and consecrated under it, Evolving Flow is for shapeshifting through life and dance, alike. It invites us into our bodies — sensual, sexual, natural, in tune. The plants that were worked with for this consent to the dance that is born through communion with them. Clary sage is a key ingredient, long considered an aid for womb, heart, and hormonal conditions. During times in the cycle when we experience cramps, Clary sage oils come in handy for massaging the womb and belly to alleviate the pain; it works for this almost instantly. That particular effect is pronounced with the support of Mugwort as another who is known as a reproductive healer and pain reliever. Willow bark is also infused here for purposes of alleviating pains of the joints and muscles. Clary sage, Mugwort, and Willow also have the effect of inviting us into the heart space so that we may tune into what messages it holds for us, while also enabling us to find relief from painful experiences, sadness, and grief. These plants, individually and in synergy, call forth memory and help us create new space for other formations to occur within us. The combination of Clary sage and Mugwort is also effective for support during menopause, helping to decrease everything from irritability to night sweats to hot flashes. With their nervine qualities, they have been known to offer tranquility through the tension that people with respiratory conditions such as asthma and bronchitis may experience. The blend of Clary sage, Mugwort, Roses, Blue Lotus, and Damiana also provide us with a boost in creative, sexual, and spiritual energies, motivating and presenting us with inspiration as needed. Roses and Blue Lotus calm the heart while Blue Lotus and Damiana bring blood into the generative organs when applied over the reproductive area — if there have been issues with libido due to stress, tension, anxiety, or depression, this is an oil which gifts us with a dispelling of those conditions so that we may feel safe and sound in our bodies again, able to explore sensuality with more security and assured in ourselves. Evolving Flow helps us to draw in the moon and illuminate the shadows within so that we may make friends with what we abandoned within ourselves and from that be able to create something expansive and distinctly us, with a sharper pulse, with more life. It is multi-dimensional and inclusive in its workings, forming a layer of love over the skin, cushioning us from head to toe against harsh blows.

the story:
Rose family oxymels are a Gold Water Alchemy staple at this point — this is our 5th Rose family oxmel formulation and it won’t be the last. Rose family plants and fruits speak to the heart, the spirit, and feel like family to many of us. In gestures of love, we tend to share roses with our familiars, present and transitioned. Rose family plants are not hard to recognize as bridge builders who help us establish safe and secure foundations and lines of communication by way of open hearts. These plants tend to have qualities in common, as kin do. Many Rose plants are astringents who tone flaccid organs and check unnecessary or excessive secretions. Several of these also serve as tonic, proving to be safe for long term use and application during more physically sensitive times such as pregnancy or when recovering from a debilitated state. Lady’s mantle, Red raspberry, and Blackberry are all Rose kin with similar yet also very distinct functions. Lady’s mantle is a beauty accomplice. When applied externally, they help firm, tighten, and lift — pores, breasts, womb, skin, and more. Internal use of this plant is often considered ideal when one is experiencing pains and cramps. Lady’s mantle, also known as Alchemilla or Little Alchemist, contains salicylic acid and has sedative qualities that help to relax and settle any aches. Through this formula, Lady’s mantle also helps to clear vaginal irritations and can help settle disordered discharges. With Blackberry leaves in the mix, this one is moreover considered ideal for urinary infections that could be affecting the function of the bladder and compromising the womb’s self-cleansing abilities. Blackberry leaves is a considered blood tonic which can help to detoxify impurities that are translating into painful or imbalanced menstrual cycles. They are also highly effective at reducing menstrual bleeding. With their blood toning qualities, Blackberry leaves have a secondary influence on the cardiovascular system. Blackberries, like raspberries, are ideal for anemic conditions where the blood is lacking in essential minerals for optimal quality and metabolism. Both of these berries are yin tonics meaning that they impact bodily fluids and help to restore moisture wherever it is dry in the body. These can also have a cooling energy, so they relieve inflammations and all irritations. In the same way, they check hypersensitivity and excitability which can lead to other disharmony — the result of this is mental and emotional balance. Raspberry leaves are another astringent which helps to prepare the womb for childbirth and treat irregularities in menstruation all the same. These also address digestive issues such as diarrhea and indigestion. In the postpartum period, Raspberry leaves are infused and administered to mothers to help enrich the breast milk, even stimulating lactation. On another level, all of these leaves — raspberry, blackberry, and lady’s mantle — are love medicines, proving efficient and powerful for love workings and to provide ease in relations. Gathering of Familiars is called that not only because it is a gathering of Rose Family plants infused in honey and ACV, but also because it is ideal for bringing us closer to those we love, bringing them closer to us. Applied through conjurations and manifestation rituals, we can set intentions for bringing more love, beauty, harmony, and peace into our lives — indeed, this is the ultimate Venusian treat, coded with all the wonders and pleasantries that such a signature may offer. Immersing in and with this potion, we find that the heart openings are doors that lead us to another side/level of our experience filled with elevated versions of Love’s expression.

Open afresh your round of starry folds,

For great Apollo bids
That in these days your praises should be sung
On many harps, which he has lately strung;
And when again your dewiness he kisses,
Tell him, I have you in my world of blisses:
So haply when I rove in some far vale,
His mighty voice may come upon the gale. — John Keats

the story:
Calendula is often confused with the modern marigold which is not the same as the pot marigold — the pot marigold is also known as Calendula. This is a plant that I have had a long-term connection with and who my ancestors appreciate a lot when I use in plates of food that I offer to them. Golden Eye was so named because, beyond the golden eyed appearance that this accomplice has, I have noted that my awareness is heightened and I notice a lot more about my surrounding environment when I am in communion and communication with Calendula. In my life, this flower has served as a clarifier of everything around me and what is being communicated through all of it. This Golden Eye tincture is meant to enable us to perceive truths, unclouded by our own misperceptions and expectations, or lack of, thereof. When tinctured, this flower is recommended for a wide array of ailments and complications including lack of menstruation, cramping during the cycle, stomachache, fevers, flu, and even toothache. When used during a fever, it can induce sweating and furthermore alleviate that internal heat. In the digestive and excretory processes, Calendula is known to promote cleansing through enhancing bowel movements and increasing urination. As diaphoretic (inducing sweating) and diuretic (inducing urination), this plant evidently has a particular affinity for the water element in the body, making them an ideal kidney, urinary, and lymphatic tonic. Most often Calendula is used externally, so dropperfuls of this tincture can be added directly to poultice mixes and applied to cuts, bruises, sores, and wounds to aid in swift healing. Despite the apparent simplicity of this remedy, Golden Eye is, perhaps not surprisingly, even ideal for addressing eye health (as the name may imply for some) — high in antioxidants such as beta-carotene which are essential for maintaining optimal vision and preventing macular degeneration. Golden Eye, a formula for the eyes, the womb’s innate flow and intuition, and unblocked communication throughout our body and within our environment, is a potion for the times we are in, times laden with much information floating around in the air, programs that leave us feeling ungrounded and confused about our destination and even our origins. Yet with our herbal accomplices, we walk in beauty, in good company. And with Calendula, we move forward ever protected and guarded by the watchful, observant, and precise Golden Eye.

the story:
Inward Training is a practice in mystical Taoist tradition which details meditation techniques, characteristics, and qualities to be upheld by the sage, the wise one, the noble person. In classical Chinese medicine, Schizandra was used by the royals and emperors for the berry’s ability to promote tranquility, serenity, ease of mind, and longevity. Schizandra is thus a medicine for the process of inward training, and this solution also fairs well for the work of strengthening the womb space and promoting elevation of the creative essence at the same time. In Mandarin, Schizandra is known as Wu Wei Tza which is the five flavors herb due to its composition which renders it activating to the variety of taste buds all throughout our tongue and mouth. The fruit itself is usually more salty, whereas the seed is pungent and bitter, and the skin is sweet and sour. This makes Wu Wei Tza the perfect herbal fruit for restoring balance and vitality to those who have experienced degenerative or otherwise debilitating conditions. In the East, Schizandra is highly regarded for its astringent properties, so it comes in handy when there are conditions of flaccidity, dampness, or looseness in the body which are contributing to depletion or weakness on one level or another. Schizandra is considered ideal for lifting the uterus, especially when prepared with honey and other sweet elements; in this lower bodily region, they also help to strengthen and restore elasticity to vaginal walls — this is especially the case when they are paired with plant medicine such as Lady’s Mantle. With continued use, and particularly when used for at least 100 days consecutively, one notices increased energy levels and endurance, clearer thinking, and overall health and vitality throughout the body. These berries increase the water Chi in the kidneys and increase the water of the genital organs considerably. Their empowering use extends into the nervous, respiratory, and cardiovascular systems. This berry taken as a tonic can help to drive out anger (liver imbalance) and neck-shoulder tension. They can also help expel mucus from the lungs and other organs. Schizandra’s beautifying power is one that lends brightness to the mind and heart, allowing us to see and feel with greater clarity. Through study it has been found that Wu Wei Tza possesses protective qualities. During chemotherapy, the heart muscle can become compromised, and studies have found that Schizandra can shield the heart. In another study, women being treated with chemotherapy for ovarian cancer experienced improved immunity from a product that contained Schizandra. In communion with this ally we learn that they are a highly protective and supportive energy. Schizandra has also been found to increase the liver’s ability to make the enzyme glutathione peroxidase, which deactivates several kinds of free radicals that attack the outer membrane of liver cells. In essence, Schizandra targets deficiencies that manifest as a variety of conditions throughout the body. The above mentioned are liver and adrenal deficiencies. Schizandra chinensis also tonifies the adrenal cortex and liver. When this happen, they address metabolic deficiencies which can show up as exhaustion, blood sugar swings, and frequent infections. A restored adrenal cortex helps one overcome loss of stamina, exhaustion, over-work, and stress. Russians have been particularly interested in Schizandra due to their ability to enhance physical performance through stamina and endurance, so this fruit also has significant merit as an adaptogen. An adaptogen is generally a safe and non- toxic herb which can serve as a support to reduce stress, both mental and physical. This particular berry has proved to be a great tonic, capable of enhancing physical energy and promoting stamina. They actively reduce levels of stress hormones in the blood, so we can quantitively measure their adaptogenic ability. In human studies, Schizandra berries and extracts of the berries have shown to help improve performance among long distance runners, skiers, and gymnasts. Furthering the adaptogen aspect into the potential for this ally as a neuro-tropic medicine (a medicine that enhances neurological and cognitive functions), Schizandra has shown to offer great benefits for the mind. Other human studies have shown that Schizandra improves concentration and coordination — hence their use for inward training practices. They help to decrease mental fatigue and increase accuracy and quality of work. Clinical studies with doctor, student, soldiers, and other groups rendered results demonstrating this plant’s superior mind- sharpening powers. Truly, Schizandra is a super berry in its own right, with the potential to help us feel noticeably better and sharper. Pairing this one with Lapis Lazuli essence helps us to clear confusion between what we believe and what we know, further compelling us to properly synthesize whatever information we are receiving whether through the womb, heart, mind, or all.

the story:
Roses are special to me and many. Through time, they have experienced great changes as an entity. Rose is the ancestor of many plants whose fruits all of us enjoy: raspberries, strawberries, peaches, blackberries, apples, and cherries all nourish us at different times of the year, all part of the mighty Rose family. A Rose, a guide in the process of shapeshifting and throughout our becoming, contains many keys and codes, deep truths to behold. Used widely in beauty formulas and employed extensively for matters of the heart — everything from Valentine’s Day to cardiovascular conditions — Rose stands supreme in their dynamic purpose. For me, Rose comes with the secrets of the Creator, Rose reminds me how to be new and different and still remain essential, the same at the core, again and again. They remind me of The Fool (or Aspirant) card of the major arcana, providing us with a clear template upon which to build. In medicine, Rose is considered a supreme nerve tonic, helping to relax muscles and relieve tension and fatigue. Though now commonly used in the cosmetic industry, Rose has been an accomplice in rituals of divine love and to the Virgin Mary, while also being widely incorporated in healing actions such as giving a bouquet of the flowers to the sick and those we love, alike. The parts of the Rose plant which lends themselves well for plant medicine include the flowers and the rose hips. Though they can energetically heat up the ambiance by increasing feelings of passionate love and even lust, they are rather cooling to the bodily constitution, helping to reduce heat and inflammation as needed. Rose are especially relaxing to the heart and womb, easing flow of blood in both spaces. Their relaxing properties in both of these spaces are what lend their energy perfectly as an aphrodisiac, as they stimulate feelings of simultaneous openness and readiness. Along with being relaxing, they can also sedate so come in handy during instances when the mind is troubled or overly occupied and unable to find rest. When used regularly, Rose provides a feeling of being nourished and filled while also helping to relieve any sluggishness in the system which could make that same fullness feel uncomfortable. Irritations, agitations, and vulnerable tenderness are all well-addressed by the medicine of Rose — Rose is also a known astringent which can be cooling when the issues are relating to a level of dampness, either physically or emotionally. Used in combinations with tinctures of Schizandra and Lady’s Mantle is SERIOUS healing magick for the yoni — these three together make the yoni feel cared for, strong, and supple, yet Rose alone is sufficient for elevating the vibration within the entirety of the reproductive system. This one is also indicated for issues of the respiratory system (which are very connected to the heart) such as sore throats, cough, and otherwise lung discomfort. With Considering all of this, it is no wonder that Rose Quartz came to join this heartfelt party. Rose Quartz is a healer of the heart which, in this potion, is specifically set to help us transmute traumas and emotional “hang-ups” that make it hard for us to be open and receptive to love. Rose Quartz reminds of the reasons why we can and should trust again. When the past memories are loaded with events that feel deep-seated and hard to uproot, Rose Quartz brings color back to your vision. With Rose Quartz and Rosa centifolia as companions, one feels affirmed in who they are, reminded of their purpose, and renewed with the vibration and frequency of highest Love. A flower so potent, enchanting, and grounding, and equally transcendent combined with a gem so harmonic, softening, and soothing serves as a forever tonic in the journey along Womb Way.

“this is why alchemy exists," the boy said. "so that everyone will search for his treasure, find it, and then want to be better than he was in his former life. lead will play its role until the world has no further need for lead; and then lead will have to turn itself into gold. that's what alchemists do. they show that when we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better, too.” — Paulo Coelho

the story:
Lady’s Mantle has a long history as a sacred, magickal herb. Ancient time alchemists would gather the dew that collected on the plant’s foliage and use it to enhance the potency of their formulas. In the Middle East they have been revered as a love and beauty tonic, further used to ensure fertility to this day. The powerful antioxidant activity of this plant is in great part responsible for the potent feeling of wellness reflected from within to the skin. Antioxidants help to fend off free radicals that cause cellular damage, helping to decrease signs of premature aging and disease. The value of Lady’s Mantle as a sacred beauty ally extend into their use for hair – the same antioxidants previously spoken of help to get rid of what is preventing your scalp and hair follicles from producing healthy cells. In Switzerland they are used in poultice form to firm and tone the breast tissue, moreover shedding light upon the beautifying qualities of this plant medicine. This herb’s main quality is that of astringency which makes them a perfect antidote to heavy menstrual flow, breakthrough bleeding, or heavy discharges (otherwise known as leukorrhea) – this is the same quality that contributes to their capacity to tone tissues. Alchemilla vulgaris is well known to increase the blood supply to the reproductive organs, stimulating menstruation while supporting a balanced menstrual flow. Lady’s Mantle is one that helps to promote and regulate the menstrual cycle, simultaneously toning the uterus and ovaries – a signature quality of many of the Rose family plant allies. The antioxidant constituents present in Lady’s Mantle can protect against the oxidative stress responsible for various diseases such as heart disease – another hallmark of Rose family plants. Further considering the reproductive uses of this ally, it has been found that though Lady’s Mantle is safe during pregnancy, it is best used to tone the womb and prepare it for labor (especially if combined with an ally such as Red Raspberry Leaf) during the last trimester, while also aiding in the stimulation of breast milk production. Their regulatory effect upon the menstrual cycle surely extends well into not only postpartum use but also into menopause where they can offer relief from accompanying hot flashes and insomnia. By virtue of other constituents such as the salicylic acid they contain, Lady’s Mantle helps to alleviate pains associated with conditions like endometriosis and fibroids. One study done involved the use of a liquid extract of Alchemilla’s aerial portions on ‘study subjects’ with endometriosis, and the researchers found that this decreased cystic formation thus is ideal for treating endometriosis. By Western herbalists, Lady’s Mantle is commonly used topically on wounds to stop bleeding and promote healing. Taken internally, they are administered as an appetite stimulant – the bitter constituents are partly responsible as they are ideal for activating digestive juices and function. These digestive aid applications translate well into the use of Alchemilla for the skin – the liver is in part responsible for aiding the cleansing and detoxification process of this major organ (the skin). When the liver is impaired or the function is somehow compromised, we see manifestations such as rough and dry skin, eczema, psoriasis, or pimple breakouts. A popular agent in acne-fighting products, the salicylic acid is often used for tough to manage skin presentations such as cystic acne and can range into even aiding the improvement of scars, burns, scrapes, bites, stings, and wounds. Keeping in mind that we are speaking of a Rose family plant, we can also see how Alchemilla lends plenty of energy for emotional support. This is not only experienced in the case where hormonal fluctuations can be said to be showing up as an imbalance of emotional display, but also when one is going through deep release of grief or other such stagnant energies. The heart, being close to the lungs in the body, are deeply intertwined with the lungs in its function. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the lungs are said to be the organs that are most directly impacted by grief – for instance, when we are sad and we cry, we often see a lot of mucus come up and out of the lungs through the sinuses and even the mouth. In many traditions, the Rose is regarded as a symbol of the heart and love, and Rose family members often tone the heart and blood vessels in different ways while typically being useful for respiratory conditions as well. Moreover, another postpartum possibility is that of experiencing depression, and while people often attribute it to the shift in hormones and the resulting period of ‘let down’, there are people who have reported that their grief was, in part, due to the birthing experience or even pregnancy not going as they intended it to. This is where Lady’s Mantle shows up as exceptionally supportive. Like the alchemist that this ally is, they enable us to fully transmute the feelings that may make us feel inadequate. More of the sacral chakra applications as they connect to the emotional body have to do with Alchemilla’s effectiveness for helping us transmute emotional weight that we may be carrying from miscarriage, abortion, or sexual abuses. In Lady’s Mantle, we see potential for powerful internal shifts in womb, heart, and mind. Alchemilla really is one of those allies that one can find great balance with – they stimulate the appetite while at the same time aiding in maintaining a balanced weight (with their digestive stimulant function), they promote menstrual bleeding while checking blood loss, and they are evidently a moon time medicine whose affinity with the water element is most evident in the rising sun hours. With Lady’s Mantle, we can readily approach a more harmonious state from within and shift into fluidity of being.

the story:
NOTE: updated formula will be available starting 6/21/2022.
This is the tincture that people in my family, some of those I consider friends, and I have used for years in preventing unplanned conception. This is that natural birth control — forget that pill, haha! The decision to offer this tincture publicly came as a response to the same system that has long coerced women in getting hysterectomies and which is now making and passing decisions and laws which will impact the reproductive rights and justice of people for a time to come. We claim ourselves protected from such wickedness and declare autonomy and agency as we move in our divine earth vessels through this world. Formulated with 4 herbs which in multiple ways help to tone and maintain health in the reproductive system, all the while creating specific conditions unfavorable for implantation and fertilization, this potion is meant to provide the same kind of shielding that many seek when they take birth control pills. Smartweed is the guiding herb here. Smartweed contains several medicinal properties such as gallic acid, quercetin, and rutin which make it hard for implantation to happen. Soursop (Guanabana) leaves and Cat’s Claw (Uña de Gato) have been used in Kiskeya as both abortifacient and conception preventative. These two work by making the uterine lining unfavorable for pregnancy, while the content of Vitamin C in Soursop leaves is also said to contribute to its overall contraceptive qualities (it is known the high amounts of Vitamin C can both prevent implantation and induce menstruation). Medicine people in Kiskeya have also stated that the contraceptive effects of Cat’s Claw and Soursop leaves can impact the system for 30 days (when used in the way advised), so this formula is one that you really only need to use during the indicated time in order to ensure your intention. Sage leaves were added to this formula as a further protective shield and energetic boost. They also help to clear out hormonal and residual impacts from using birth control pills and other non-plantbased birth control methods. This tincture is meant to be taken in a very specific way to ensure that it is effective for preventing conception — the full details are indicated on the corresponding notecard and should be followed entirely to ensure that the tincture works for that specific purpose. If for some reason the outlined protocol for consumption is missed, you can still use this tincture right after sexual intercourse for a certain amount of days (also indicated on note card) to prevent pregnancy. The plants used here have many uses so they will fair as tonic, immune-boosting medicines if used regularly. Reclaim your body as sacred and see every decision and action you make and take about it to be in alignment with such holiness and wholeness — you deserve it.

house (flower) profile:
Rose is naturally high, spirits lifted, fully motivated by what moves in life and is a reflection of their being. Those who seek communion with this beauty often feel resignation and apathy. These people feel that their lot in life can never change, and have totally accepted their circumstances as irreversible, but when they enter into communion with Rose essence, they notice that the feeling is transmuted into a sense of hope and of approaching self-realization. The House of Gold, which is the essence of Rose, envelops us with a feeling of proximity to what is true and majestic within us, so this house takes us to new heights, reminiscent of the spirited nature of the Rose soul. This soul reminds you that it is not too late to have a more enriched and meaningful life. This is one of The 22 Flowers of Life, and it connects to Key 0: The Aspirant and Key 22: The Initiate.

flower profile and essence creation story:
One of my favorite scents, my relationship with Gardenia is so deep for me that I smell them hours before I encounter them. It has happened to me about several times - I’ll be in a car or somewhere else miles away from where Gardenia is and I smell them all of a sudden. Some time later, I happen upon a Gardenia, always happy almost to the point of tears. I’ve been becoming intimate with them since my time at the university starting in 2009. Someone who I was close with at that time would bring me Gardenias from her grandparents yard every time they had some. I don’t think it is a coincidence that this was around the time that it became clear to me what I wanted to spend my days focusing on. Fasting forwarding through about 3 years of working diligently with this essence, and it is evident that Gardenia is precise in their ‘mechanism’. This is an essence that comes in handy when one feels out of order, or like they need to establish a more conducive structure in their daily life. There is a very left-brain sort of attribute to this essence’s impact. Through my university experience, I found it enhanced my organizational and higher order thinking skills. When I wanted to just chill in the park, on my favorite tree, and not do my work, a few drops of Gardenia would motivate to see all of my projects through to complete with joy and clarity and no crazy side effects. Adderall who? Ha. The essence of Gardenia has also been found to be effective for releasing resentments we may feel towards family and others who we may have strong soul ties with. This one pairs very well with one like Goldenrod flower essence particularly when attempting to undo binds relating to family and cultural or social circles that one might feel unsupported by. Combining this essence with Moonstone essence, Divine Principle is also ideal in keeping a balance within our mental faculties, so that both are working in harmonious unison and not discordantly. Thus, intuition and logic make friends and find their common ground has always existed. Divine Principle, reinforced by the essence of Tektite, shields us from ever-increasing threats against our personal space and sanity, energetically serving as one to seal holes in the auric field. Through and within, this one brings us to our infinite nature, untethered and yet grounded in its potential. This is one of The 22 Flowers of Life, and it connects to Key 1: The Magician.

flower profile and essence creation story:
The day that this essence was created was a personal day of silence, unplanned but surely welcomed. The deep receptivity that these flowers activated me with were ones that helped to further affirm that this essence is indeed the one that corresponds to Key 2 : The High Priestess. Spanish needles, when used in tincture, infusion, or other more directly medicinal form, has the capacity to treat womb and kidneys, heart and stomach. Their essence translates well as one to help us properly synthesize information through the relative portals within the body. Continuing the process of crafting the essence, I noted bees continuously coming to the bowl to kiss the flowers. It felt like they were adding of their own essence to this water. It felt clear, like they were instructing me on the potential of this flower as one capable of being internally silent while remaining diligent in their duties and simultaneously buzzing through life, as the bee who knows exactly what they are doing. My mental querying went further into investigating why this flower which appears so abundantly and everywhere, and thus seems ‘loud’ in their disposition could correspond to The High Priestess, and immediately the word “ancestors” came to my mind, so I figured this one would be one to help us become more aware of who our specific ancestors are, where they have been, yet it wasn’t until I began to work with the essence directly that it made sense why this is the case. Since beginning the work with Ancestral Apparitions, many of my ancestors, some distant and some close, some from the North American continent and others not, have revealed themselves. The ways through which they have is where the magick lies as this is an essence that really imparts a recognition of instant intuition and insight when it arises. The way things are revealed with this essence is very subtle and silent, so it invites us into a level of presence that is easily missed in the havoc and rush rush motion of the current society. Continuing the work with this essence, we find that they help to enhance the vividness of dream recollection — that is another of their instant effects; it was something experienced the same first night it was used. Spanish needles flower essence is also ideal for strengthening our aura and etheric bodies so that we encounter less of the energies that would be imposing on our boundaries. This flower essence provides a shielding effect for the mind, while also healing and facilitating the shedding of old mental ideas and obsolete plans. Ideal for clearing space before entering into more creative zones so that there is order and cohesion with the incoming flow. The frequencies of 2 and 5, resonating strongly with this essence, are one of priest and a wise being who can communicate truth with clarity, so Ancestral Apparitions is one for teachers and healers alike. Furthermore, this one has a simultaneous grounding and uplifting energy, reminding us of how present spirit is in our lives. Something else that stands out about the effects of this essence is that it makes us confront the intuitive feelings we have been ignoring and reminds us of why we cannot continue to do so. An essence which helps to balance the water, fire, and earth energies within our bodies, Ancestral Apparitions is essential for the visionaries and conduits of truth. This is one of The 22 Flowers of Life, and it connects to Key 2: The High Priestess.

A cleansing and activating essence, Hibiscus reminds us of what is true, while we continue to weave spells of healing and wholeness in a time when some are hellbent on sustaining their distortions and fragmentations. Hibiscus comes to remind you how power-full your creative potential is and what can happen when you begin to act on the medicine of your innovation and the evolution that your experiences and the lessons in them offer you. An essence prepared on a Scorpio moon, this one moves the sometimes still waters within. With the reproductive parts of this plant growing as they do, more so outwardly, it is no wonder that they have a direct impact on those areas of our physiology. Just like they burst forth from the flowers, so do the long-seated emotions, traumas, and otherwise stored energies, creative and emotional expressions come pouring like hot lava from a volcano awaiting its moment of release. In the observation of this moment, we can comprehend the shifts that may lead us into a true metamorphosis of our form, forward into complete soul embrace. Hibiscus flower essence paired with Obsidian essence is exceptional for showing us areas where we can emancipate ourselves from emotional imbalance and the ways it can manifest - lack of confidence in sexuality, overactive sexual libido at times, feeling creatively blocked, experiencing infertility or frigidity, fear of affirming what brings you healthy pleasure, fear of emotional self-expression or hostile expressions of emotions, premature ejaculation, etc - all also at times being indicators of deeply seated trauma. When one has experienced sexual abuse of which one has not had closure, Hibiscus comes to teach us creative ways to absolve these energies and get rid of the haunting ghost - Obsidian is particularly suited for this work also, really helping one to move forward from those experiences. A symbol of beauty, Hibiscus reminds us of our innate grace and elegance, and can physically help to correct our posture while aiding the relief of blockages in the spine and lower back. This is an essence that aids well when receiving chiropractic adjustments, for instance. Serpentine and Clear quartz come forward to further support this work by activating the uncoiling of kundalini energy for proper use in every day tantra and creation. The work of this is so profound that imbalances in hormones are remedied with consistent use, attesting to the work being done not only within the reproductive center but also within the pineal and pituitary (3rd eye) glands. A full connection afforded also through our spinal strengthening. Furthering the fertilizing power of such surrender to one’s heart hot life force water womb flow, Rose quartz elevates the love and encourages us to allow pleasure and bliss to fill us with light in the openings of those old and transmuting wounds. The summary of these essences combined with the intent of ‘Clear Water, Fertile Earth’, this one is consecrated to magnifying your intentions for abundance and creative expression. This essence frees you from being stuck in feeling ‘doomed’ to experience pain and suffering. Here you are reminded that you have the power to direct your life in accordance with divine purpose. This is one of The 22 Flowers of Life, and it connects to Key 3: The Empress.

flower profile and essence creation story:
Anu Day, Bright Ray is truly an essence for the time. An awakener in its own right, this one is wired with the energetic patterns of Morning Glory flowers who greet the Sun with a graceful opening. In this way, the Morning Glory flower essence enables one to fully embrace daylight and open up to the possibilities of the day, vibrant and alert, crown activated. This one came to me at the crossroads, when the direction was unclear and the reasons for certain decisions seemed senseless. Morning Glory offered me clarity beyond denial, helped me see the obvious to the degree that I was able to recognize the vibrational frequency of what and who I had been engaging with and without second thought make swift and necessary adjustments in order for me to be in true alignment with my own self. Anu Day, Bright Ray really helped me see and take action toward my self-preservation and fully attuned self-realization. Sometimes we receive messages, and it is not until later in time and life that the messages make true lucid sense to us. Morning Glory teaches us that it is okay if we don’t get it or comprehend right away by showing us how we can always decide to grow beyond where we have been limiting ourselves. Perhaps you have been stuck in repetitive cycles and activities, dealing with people and entities who make it hard for you to correspond with your truest self — Morning Glory is a medicine for this. This flower essence awakens us each day and through trying moments so that we may experience the thorough abundance of our energy, furthermore becoming aware of where there is a leak or depletion of our forces. When things have been chaotic, mentally, emotionally, or physically, Morning Glory offers relief through providing a focus into solutions that can aid these moments. It helps us feel refreshed and able to be fully embodied, not distracted or in attempt to escape the uncomfortable. This one is also ideal for those who have been struggling with withdrawal or other discomforts of the motions to break away from destructive relationships with substances and people who we have abused or been abused by. Anu Day is for release from addiction and addictive behaviors. It helps us become aware of the physical in such a way that we can comprehend the healing that we have been denying ourselves with our thoughts, words, and actions. With its bright ray energy, it helps to illuminate and order our minds so that we can think differently about situations that we may have a hard time moving forward from due to lack of a more expansive perspective. Anu Day, Bright Ray is also indicated for this age in which many of us spend a lot of time in our heads and minds due to the overstimulation of the 3rd eye and crown chakra by the media in this age of information. It helps to bridge the gap between heart and mind so that we can be acutely aware of what is most useful and conducive for us in each moment. For those who struggle to ground and relax into a resting state, that bridge is effective in alleviating any anxieties that may be causing insomnia or other imbalances within both the nervous and immune systems. Morning Glory flower essence is potentiated with healing energy for the solar plexus and digestive organs, helping us make sense of information received and assimilate for optimal usage. If digestive organs such as the liver or stomach are compromised, Morning Glory flower essence softly returns them to a balanced state and soon the entire organism is more harmonious. Restoration to this part of us equals to an overall centered and balanced disposition and a stronger, clearer foundation from which to operate. Embracing this new day, we are easily able to step into the timeline that is configured for earthing our mind so that our manifestations may be more coherent, consistent, and sensibly arranged. Anu Day, Bright Ray is a flower essence for vitalizing the body, proper structuring of our energetic frequencies, and lasting release from what stagnates and slows our flows. This is one of The 22 Flowers of Life, and it connects to Key 4: The Emperor.

flower profile and essence creation story:
The flowers that this is made with come from a mother plant which grows near by the Mimosa tree which offered us the flowers for Unique Antennas: Mimosa Flower Essence. This is telling due to the fact that both Unique Antennas and Guardian of Truths provide us with deeper insight into information that others may consider controversial or otherwise challenging to the systems currently in place. Guardian of Truths is particular for the process of learning and education and building upon what one already knows but may have had to release in practice for lack of evolution within it. This is a flower essence crafted through several days and waxing moon in Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, and Virgo. Earth sign to earth sign, this flower essence is meant to make solid the expansion we experience within through study and the process of practice. It is one for those participating in the reconstructing from the current moment of destruction. It is one that enables the mind to see what solutions would bring about the most sustainable changes and a truly new day, rising swiftly after a long dawn. Ixcanan flowers are revered as sacred by the indigenous peoples in Belize and other parts of the Americas. The name Ixcanan means “guardian of the forest” and speaks very directly to the plant’s energy of protection and guardianship of all that is true and eternal — this one is for reminding us of the inner structures that hold us up and the outer ones which provide a reflection for ecosystems and lifeways which can enable us to thrive in community and as individuals, alike. Firebush flower essence is an ideal treat for those who are sharpening their skills as educator and, naturally, becoming an even greater student of the truth. Indigenous people have used this one as a medicine for beautifying the skin, and we find that as we use this essence, it helps to illuminate what is beautiful about what is already present around and within us and shows us more of how to continue in an abundance of that energy of beauty. It reveals the layers through clarifying and purifying, while simultaneously exalting the capacity to not only be aware of the essence within things but also our ability to coherently and effectively communicate our findings and expansion to those who may learn from us. Ixcanan, guardian of forests, protects us in the wild spaces within, helping us find the way through into deeper and more holistic innerstandings, guarding us as we uncover and share the lushness of our mind, guiding us into a more resolute sense of being, true to source self. This is one of The 22 Flowers of Life, and it connects to Key 5: The Hierophant.

flower profile and essence creation story:
One rising in the early spring of 2020, I noticed the pink Azaleas in bloom — a sight to behold indeed; The moment of me noticing their blooming followed a night of communion with Ezili Danto in which I had asked her for a sign. I intuitively knew the Azalea was a part of the signaling I would receive in this season, also gracefully being one whose essence would help me augur the motions and movements in my surroundings. The spring of the year prior, I’d intended to make an Azalea flower essence but instead waited as that time didn’t feel quite right. In 2020, however, the alignment felt perfect; timing divine — the sign I was seeking was one to inform what I might need to shed of my connections to others; a stagnation felt present alongside a lurking enmity I couldn’t quite place though notably external. As one with a strong 7th house presence in my natal chart, matters of relation and relating seem to be at the fore of my experiences quite often — this astrological aspect is also part of why entering into connection with all of creation feels so natural to me because it is… reminding me that sometimes bonds need to be broken and ties need to be cut so that healing can happen, while others seek reinforcement through evaluation, attention, communion, and adjustment. I spent the following days sitting with the Azalea, in meditation, feeling into the matrix of this entity and all the secrets they contained. Eight days following the initial recognition of Azalea’s return, I went to go sit with the flowers when I vividly, through my mind’s eye, saw a woman standing in front of the bush, sword in her right hand, gently smiling. In my head I thought, “Ezili, is that you?” I swooned and cried a bit because of course I knew. After my daily meditation in front of the bush, Abalone shell on my womb under a belly bind, I thought to make essences of the two, Azalea and Abalone, so I obliged. The moments felt as divinely ordained as they were. It was around that time when a big purge of the heart ensued — I hadn’t even internalized the essence in water but the work had already begun. In that moment, it all made sense — Azalea had been working with me since the moment when I first considering making an essence with them the year before. There is a way about plants and how they feel and respond to our intentions, how once we consent to integrating their wisdom into our consciousness and awareness, the relation begins as swiftly as the thought happens. In this and other ways, plants are masters at relation and connection, and Azalea is one whose essence really holds that kind of imprint. Working more deeply with this one, we learn a number of things regarding the variety of their offerings. Ezili’s Azalea, as this potion quite naturally claimed its name the same day it was made, holds a strong Libran frequency, needless to say the 3 air signatures are all present here. It is crafted with 5 separate essences combined and dancing in rose water and rum with a bit of honey; their carriers reflective of the sweetness and clarity that these essences bring. Azalea flowers at the core of this is quite gracefully one which helps us attune to the wisdom of how self-love, self-acceptance, and self-compassion can be expanded into a vibration of seeing the good/god in the world around us with greater lucidity. It enables us to open the heart in a way that is discerning in giving and receiving, all the same. Azalea flowers holds a vibrational healing potential that helps us to address fears, particularly those stemming from childhood roots, and thus do the root work necessary to move through issues of fear-based decision-making and thinking. This offers us the tools to refine how we interact outside of the self; with others, person, plant, cat, kin, deer, bear, water, fire, earth, air, all — the path to harmony is made clear, and we may walk the beauty way. In the zodiac, Gemini (another air signature that this essence also corresponds to) is a child; they is also an air sign, a Mercurial force, a thinker of all the things. This blend, containing Abalone shell essence, is one particularly suited for healing the inner child within — balance is trinary, and the child is a prime (numbers, aha) representation of the union of 1 and 2. Thus Ezili’s Azalea nurtures and assures us, reminds us that it is okay to play, to wander, to wonder, to think long and deep, to imagine and envision new and brighter worlds…. To get there and be in that peace, however, a purge may be necessary. The combined power of Black Obsidian and Abalone shell is one that facilitates just that, so with this we are able to then step into connections and relations in the world from a refined perception and perspective — we can really embody the balance that The Lovers may offer us. This is also the balance seen in Ezili when we see her holding sword in one hand with a child cradled in her arm. This is an essence that heals not only the masculine and feminine within, but also bring needed remedy for the mother and child. The symbol of the sword and the essence of abalone have a great synergy for matters of communication. A softening energy, Abalone helps us to tune to spaces deep within, resonant with ancient tongue communions of the womb, the waters, the heart. They help us attune to the original, authentic, and timeless inside of us. Here, hear, Aquarius… Strengthening the centers from the heart to the crown, Ezili’s Azalea is an essence blend which reminds us how the processes of respiration (not just our own, but that of trees and other plant beings, for instance) facilitate the continuation of our existence and the connections to a ‘higher’ transcendent source, all the same. We gives thanks for the balance. Magnolia offers the touch of divine love and elevated consciousness. They open to the sun, reminiscent of a crown not too overwhelmed to receive. We give thanks for the fusion potentials with this flower’s qualities and those of the Black Obsidian whose work to heal the mind and heart through reawakening of memory is furthermore evidenced as a release of blockages and limiting beliefs. Potent. Give thanks. Imbibe this coded knowing. This is one of The 22 Flowers of Life, and it connects to Key 6: The Lovers

flower profile and essence creation story:
Borago para el corazon. Borage for the heart, of the heart.
The roots of the word “Borago” have been debated, but all theories contain similar themes. According to various sources it is believed that the Latin borago is a derivative of the word corrago, having the roots cor for “heart” and ago for “to lead”. Another herbalist regarded that the Celtic term barrach meaning “a man of courage” could also correspond to this plant’s name. And still other renditions of its origins speak to the hairs that grow along the flowers — the Italian borra and French bourra meaning “hair” or “wool”. In general, there is an association between borage, courage, and the heart.
I have seen Borage growing in various places throughout Florida, but it wasn’t until I spotted them growing in a friend’s garden that I decided to craft an essence while also taking that experience as an opportunity to bond with my friend by teaching her how to make a flower essence. We made Borage essences together, and it didn’t immediately occur to me then but this moment of collaborative essencing precisely illustrates the frequency with which Borago embues us — an energy of relational harmony, heart openness, and energetic reciprocity.
Borage has a long history of use as an herbal remedy, and many of its medicinal applications mirror their more subtle qualities. A lot of its prescriptive use applies to the kidneys, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems. Borage has an affinity for the air and water of our bodies. Meditating upon the plant’s appearance and composition, one can see how it touches upon both light and dense features within us. The leaves have a mucilage-rich characteristic which is part of why it is employed in respiratory support formulae. In essence form, this shows up as this flower being indicated when one is experiencing heavy heartedness, grief, sadness, or lack of courage. The glowing blue lightness of their flower suggests a simultaneously uplifting and calming aura — we find that Borage is indicated most when one is experiencing the mental fog or inability to focus that results from long bouts of grief that leave one feeling burnt out and scattered. This is an essence that helps to gather our forces and revitalizes us after depletion. This revitalization happens in a way that is steady and exact. It is a plant often used in preparations of cordials for its strengthening and toning effects on the heart which is also a result of its psychoemotional impact. Other symptoms for which Borage provides relief include: looping negative thoughts, lack of confidence, burdened or depressed disposition, weak boundaries, listlessness and boredom. Overall, Borage is a true heart medicine which enables us to experience the ebullience necessary to see ourselves into the light of more promising days and enriching experiences.
There are many reasons why but this flower essence is unlike any other I have ever worked with. Borage has a way of supplying us with the exact support we need in each moment, revealing themselves as having a particularly sympathetic signature. It has provided me with the fortitude to sustain the expansions afforded to me following long overdue personal developments, and it is in this spirit that I share this remedy with you.

flower profile and essence creation story:
The 8th Sense is also known as “interoception”, a sense of knowing what is going on inside of our bodies. Interoception is achieved through a communication of the sensory receptors inside the organs and skin and the brain. This appears to regulate basic things like hunger, thirst, bathroom needs, etc, yet it also has an impact on emotional responses. Some people may become moody or angry when they are hungry, for instance, experiencing alleviation of those emotions once they eat. Furthermore, interoception is part of the processing that can have one deemed as overly sensitive or insensitive in varying degrees and instances. The Sensitive Plant, aka Partridge Pea, is one that displayed a swift attunement on this level. Partridge Pea flower essence has shown to be ideal for becoming more deeply aware of what our consciousness is perceiving on all levels, physical through spiritual, while also helping to balance out where perceptions may be exaggerated or there is the result of hypersensitive responses impacting the emotional space. This helps us open up and feel safe again after experiencing somatic traumas and ‘blows’ to the heart, especially regarding relationships and more intimate affairs. The 8th Sense is a flower essence for the Sensitive Kind who may often be misunderstood in their disposition. With Partridge Pea we remember that we can be safe while being sensitive and open, remaining protected and strong within the self. This one also helps to elevate what we are sensing and transmute any associated discomforts into information that can guide us. Patridge Pea flower essence helps to build up resilience and endurance within the body when used long-term — Cherokee used the root to prevent their people from tiring during physical activity, and the Seminole similarly used a cold infusion of the plant of bodily weakness and fainting spells. This is just further affirmation of the strength in this supportive plant. The strongest, most brilliant minds and hearts are often also the most sensitive. Like the foliage that make up this ally, The 8th Sense aids us in discerning when to be open and when it is time to retreat. This is one of The 22 Flowers of Life, and it connects to Key 8: Strength.

flower profile and essence creation story:
It’s not that I see a flower and immediately know I am going to make an essence with it; it’s more so the case that there’s a moment when it dawns on me that I should almost like the flowers themselves are nodding, “NOW is the time”. Sometimes this does happen the moment I meet them in person, but most often it is a courting process which conjures within both myself and the flowers the comfort to share more intimately of ourselves. Sometimes it’s after I’ve consumed the plant in other ways that the flowers offer themselves to me in a very essential way, and indeed this was the case with Japanese Indigo flowers.
An Indigo plant from which I had extracted pigment whispered that an essence of her flowers would benefit me, and that it did. She grew in my garden amongst figs, mulberries, sweet potato, and plenty of Cuban jute. She grew even more after I planted other Indigo babies around her. I witnessed it and saw her flowers go through stages of varying coloration from white to pink to white to pink. Together these colors shifted my vision and clarified to me that this is just what they do.
NOW is the time
an important phrase in the work that Japanese Indigo does. This flower brings us present, here, to where we are now, with all our thoughts, feelings, perceptions, and conceptions. And with all that we carry, Japanese Indigo helps us get clear about what we need to keep and what we can let go of. It’s likened to the Hermit’s journey in this way because it illuminates our interior and makes evident the wisdom that will enable us to move past blockages and obstacles, especially those due to internal clutter.
Japanese Indigo flower essence is for beautiful transformations. It shields us as we shift and offers hope and resilience through times of great change. It contains codes that are readily revealed to those who have remained diligent in the pursuit and enactment of their purpose. This flower is a reward along the way to remind you that you are on the right path and that everything is happening in perfect timing. A flower essence for the Indigo children and adults, Skywalker Shield is for those with high spiritual and emotional energies who feel deeply and know what they know but are also always learning and remembering. This one is also beautiful because it reminds us that there is a layer within this dimension where “right” is a subjective matter because it denotes that we have a will with which to make decisions that lead to many possible outcomes and karmas. It reminds us that the fork in the road is not a trick but rather a variety of alternatives that render a multiplicity of potentials.
What do you want most in and out of this life? she says. And as you think and feel about it, she makes the process all the more sensible, so you get the most satisfaction from each moment - even those difficult ones which require that you go deeper or do more. A warrior and mother frequency here, Skywalker Shield is in fact protective.
Enchanting, alluring, clear, and direct all at the same time, the beauty of this flower essence is understated and must be experienced.

flower profile and essence creation story:
It was shortly after I had intuited that my life would be “drastically changing” that I made this essence. A symbolic storm ensued shortly after that impression, and I stood firm and calm at the center. There was the knowing in me that no matter the intensity of that time, life after such contracting and moving moments could only be that much better. Rite on. At my friend Maya’s farm, during a walk with my beloved cat companion Indigo, I found an abundance of Congo jute shrubs all flowering bright pink, which I also learned is known as Aguaxima, revealed to me by my other friend Chanelle. Interestingly enough, this plant has a lot of names / appellations. I now know of 87. Abundance is indeed a primary aspect of its signature which is directly in correspondence with the Jupiterian force that also moves through this verdant accomplice. Aguaxima — a perfect name for the watering aspect of this plant which is hard to overlook or miss when you interact with them. A Tremendous Softening it affords, and with this variety and depth of awareness “Eye of the Storm” came to be. An airy disposition needing the water to remember where it is always with me. Aguaxima of the mallow family is a plant who has great healing qualities. This one is sweet and mildly cooling, a kin of plants such as Hibiscus and Cotton. In the body, they bring moistening and can serve as an emollient for the skin and other organs. In essence form, they help us to soften into and through tension and tense times — when communing with their essence for an extended period of time, we begin to notice certain aches and pains that had resulted from holding on to emotions, energies, entities, identities, etc that are stagnating, and we also notice how there is a healing of all of this granted by the communion… Historically, this plant has been used by various peoples throughout the world during times of great need, Aguaxima being a form of wealth and bounty when there otherwise seems to be or feel a lack. Similarly, this is a shrub that can flower year-round, furthermore hinting at the ways that they align with what is profuse and plentiful. Eye of the Storm is a potion for alchemizing from depleted states and activating remembrance of how we may continue in more balanced motion. Another layer of this element is that is enables us to bind and unbind as needed, helping to assimilate more integrally what nourishes and sustains us while shedding ties with what leeches and drains us. Eye of the Storm is an impenetrable heal and seal for the aura. The more we journey with them, the more this is realized. At a certain point during the 1800s, this plant was brought into Florida for use in cordage which is very telling of this essence’s capacity to protect and hold our outermost layers and expressed selves from shifts in the vibrational weathers, sudden or expected. On yet another level, Congo jute provides an elixir that helps to restore us from the inside out after a long journey. A balm for wounds, this can be applied directly on the skin to relax, alleviate, relieve, mend. This flower of life for the 10th Key of the soul’s journey is for the will within, the wild’s healing, and recollection of what is thought as ‘forgotten’, ‘fragmented’, or ‘lost’. Deep soul medicine. As we stand in the center, retrieval of our magnitude occurs and we are polished to shine bright again. Alchemy of air and water, Eye of the Storm guides us into the shifting centers of mind, heart, and womb, helps us to make sense of and be sensible to the complexities and multitudes we contain.

house (flower) profile:
When you enter the House of Truth it is because you are ready to live authentically. This is the point of engagement upon the journey. Agrimony has been indicated for those who do not acknowledge their feelings of pain and torment, but repress and deny their feelings. This acknowledgment is not advised for the purposes of wallowing, but rather so that old inner clutter can be released. Many times, those who cannot access this house, have turned to alcohol or drugs to help mask feelings that are too difficult to face. Substance abuse isn’t the only indication of perhaps needing some Agrimony essence. Other avoidance techniques can come into play: an addiction to TV, overeating to numb emotional pain, as well as any other activity to ensure the repression of feelings. Those who can benefit from entering the House of Truth are driven to avoid confronting their shadows at all costs. They shy away from confrontation out of fear of “annoying” another, all the while silencing their own needs. The House of Truth is suggested for use when in counseling, as it facilitates openness in getting in touch with what has been repressed or denied and releases buried issues, allowing emotional healing to take place.

flower profile and essence creation story:
Pennyroyal was one of the first plants I noticed at the beginning of spring on the land I would soon after move to at which point they had begun to flower. Each time I would return to the spot where I had initially found them, I’d notice more and more of the pennyroyal plants spread low to the ground throughout the ‘back’ of the woods. It was in those instances that I witnessed their power of helping us to shift perception and expand perspective, able to see that there is more complexity and intricacy to what we have been seeing. This is is a preparation medicine, aiding us in getting ready for transmutation awaiting its divine time; something evidenced in the way their flowers bloom right in the cusp of winter and spring, primed to emerge into increased light after a time of incubation. It is for giving birth to the new aspects of self and those that had been suppressed, waiting to be uncovered, encoded. Pennyroyal essence, as a rebirthing medicine, is one that can promote important and needed shifts in consciousness, all the while helping to dissolve detrimental thought forms and bring clarity during moments of mental confusion. Along with this, the rebirthing surrender is one that allows us to release obsessive thinking ways or patterns of the mind which are rigid, not allowing for the flow required to experience a certain quality of expression. Through continual communication with this plant and their essence, we can observe the way that others project their imbalance or discomfort onto us at times, and furthermore resolve to not take those interactions so personally by maintaining clear boundaries. Deeply tuned to personal frequencies, Rebirthing Surrender allows us to distinguish what pertains to us and what we can leave alone (all-one), not taking responsibility for issues or misfortunes that we did not cause. It is for those highly sensitive folk who may have a harder time separating from those who abuse their sensitivity. .. This pennyroyal grows low in the woods, where the soil may meet with clay and sand, and appreciates moisture, a matter properly expressive of the aspects of adaptability and fluidity that Rebirthing Surrender imbues us with. Notably, they have been exceptional for helping me to remain calm and collected, cool and unbothered, more deeply cognizant of what even warrants any sort of response from me. When this essence was initially crafted, I decided to share it with a friend who had been struggling with releasing a connection to a particular ‘mind-altering’ substance; I didn’t even know it would have the impact it did, the decision naturally intuitive — it only took 13 days, exactly, for her to contact me with praises for the potion. She told me she had very acutely been made aware of the fact that the substance she was abusing was a spirit entity in itself, demanding of her body as a vessel to experience and express itself in a distorted way. Soon after that, she was able quit the habit and begin to repair the auric holes in her energetic field that has been caused by that abusive relationship. Following from this, Pennyroyal essence amplifies our spiritual energy and enables us to see the inmost configurations of the forms we are interacting with on more surface levels. Like the ocean, this rebirthing surrender takes us deep, and the more we inneract with this medicine, the more we uncover memories and begin to resolve issues from past lives and those pains, traumas, and mental/habitual patternings inherited through genetic codings from our ancestors. Here, we shed any contract with sourcerers who misrepresent our light and which can potentially exploit our energy. Pennyroyal is for reclamation of personal space, energy, and soul territory. As we shed taught and/or learned or inherited delusions and illusions, our 3rd eye is strengthened and we begin to see with the optics of one no longer bound by their own internal malformations.

flower profile and essence creation story:
Crafted throughout the energy of an eclipse, through night and into day and into night again, this is an essence for going through the motions of massive changes and absolutions bringing about internal reconciliation and forward movement. The initial crafting process brought about clarity regarding this specific ally. When looking at the unripe berries directly on, I realized that the appearance of the berries was similar to that of the peyote cactus which contains mescaline, a potent medicine which brings about intense and sometimes uncomfortable but, perhaps, necessary visions. Poke, whose berries are generally known as toxic or poisonous, when used in flower essence form provides us with a frequency similar to that of a ‘trip’ that affords us profound perception and perspective, giving us a wider and more whole viewpoint of our situation. Poke helps us get to the root of matters, providing a solution to situations that are repetitive or lessons that keep coming around after we do not properly apply the wisdom shared through them. The Otherworld Shadow Dance takes us into the recesses of the soul and helps us to find the parts in hiding so that they can be reintegrated to purify the spiritual essence within once again. This is one for those recalling and reclaiming their power, for those who are no longer waiting for someone else to change but instead making the change from the inside out. Otherworld Shadow Dance is for those who are courageous enough to be responsible when spirit guides and benevolent ancestral forces check them or in other ways hold them accountable for the life they have experienced after a certain point when we begin to make our own decisions. This essence reminds us that the power is in us and removes any confusion that had us feeling or thinking otherwise. Otherworld Shadow Dance is an essence for those moving through the dark and making/being the light. Empowered by the energy of crow, guardian of sacred knowledge and wisdom and escort into the other life, this is one that helps us fly above whatever situation, unharmed and intact. This is not to say that shedding and letting go is not necessary, but rather that what remains at the culmination of this process is the truest nature and qualities of who we are in the grandest of the stories which is also our own. Crow essence combined with Poke essence is a force to be reckoned with — this medicine is for all psychological breakthroughs, for elevating the mind. The effects of this essence can also be witnessed physically, as we begin to shed the illness and other manifestations of the energetic baggage and trauma we may have been carrying. Poke essence is for our own healing and the healing of our ancestors. This is one we can share we them, giving drops as part of altar offerings, while we ask the hard questions and allow space for a process of reciprocal accountability and responsibility. Poke essence enables us to see that though we are healing for ourselves and our bloodlines, we do not have to be entangled in the distortions that may have arisen at a certain point in the weaving of the web.

flower profile and essence creation story:
There are elements that enable us to perceive some ‘losses’ as ascensions or points when a certain energy chooses to evolve and transform itself. This is the frequency with which Datura’s essence heals. Datura, a plant of the nightshade family, high in alkaloids such as atropine and scopolamine and thus potentially toxic, is one who instructs us upon the realization that a certain death translates to eternity and that eventually we ascend to new spaces, perhaps through times when, externally, there seems to be little shifting yet a deep brewing ensues through the innerscapes. This wise teacher has walked with me in times of deep grief aiding in making the breakthrough even if just into a glimpse of the opening that occurs within such contractions. We observe that in those personal deaths we experience on a regular basis there is potential for alchemy which makes it so that this dying translates to a rebirthing of ourselves/senses, an ability to live with deeper appreciation for how we are edified even through what feels trying and leaves us grief-stricken. How we can grow and are fertilized by those soil soul shadow in sol processes... In some traditions Datura flower is given in very small and calculated doses to open up the airways during a respiratory crisis; an application mirroring the qualities that Datura has for helping to expel grief and sadness from our bodies which often times filters through our lungs in the form of mucus and waters, such as when we cry. Through continued application of the essence, perhaps on the heart, the womb, the third eye, the palms, the soles of the feet, or on the tongue, the brew begins to well and soon we expel old and maybe toxic thought forms, patterns, behaviors, ideas, programs, and indoctrinations that keep us bound to unproductive and unhealthy cycles. This essence is for unbinding and binding all the same. The communion affords us the courage to send stagnancy and confusion on its way, all while keeping our peace and properly reclaiming our abundant and fluid states of being. Like the Temperance card of the tarot, this essence provides us with a number of elements with which to build and evolve. Fire and water are two of the main ones, and this is the power of the Internal Flame Shift. These elements, when properly used, can promote an expansion of consciousness which helps to stimulate soul elevation and spiritual growth — you may find yourself perhaps “not intentionally” breathing more deeply and appreciating the air element and how it informs and relates to water and fire. These are the constitutional keys of the phoenix who rises from the ashes, rebirthed as an eternal being, capable of transcendent flight… so much so that they may not be perceived within density yet we may find them in a dream guiding us in that same ascending way. With this as a focused meditation alongside an ancient ancestral audible invocation the essence was charged with the power of the Phoenix. May they guide you into new forms. May you learn the power of shapeshifting glamour and how to call in/claim the all that you are without fear or hesitation. This is one of The 22 Flowers of Life, and it connects to Key 14: Temperance

flower profile and essence creation story:
Known as bitter melon by many and cerasee by many others, the plant used for this essence is a powerhouse. The way they activate the body helps to bring stability to foundations from within. The process of creating this one began on an early Saturday with the moon waning in Virgo. The waning phase spoke to the ebbing of old forms. The energy of Virgo spoke to the precision and detail orientation that would arise through use of this essence. A Heart Cleanse is one that highlights our inner world and magnifies what is borderline obsessive and simultaneously detrimental to one’s being. This is for proper placement of processes; with A Heart Cleanse, we can pinpoint exactly what would actually benefit from a degenerative cycle, promoting death there so that rebirth can soon follow. This essence enables us to see the life that has been created over time, assess what is still useful and essential, and begin us on the process of discarding the old and expired. Cerasee’s power combines well with essences like Poke for processes of such caliber which result in major metamorphosis and evolution. This is one for continuing the work begun within the work with Poke. It is also able to stand alone, working through any inner contractions in order to meet a clear dawn and safely give birth. Cerasee, like the medicine it offers the body for cleansing from disease and stagnation, instills us with the energy of liberation and renewal. With this one we are able to lucidly see that the monsters and enemies we had created in our head can be transformed into accomplices for our healing and abundance in its many forms. This is one of The 22 Flowers of Life, and it connects to Key 15: The Devil.

house (flower) profile:
The Point of Passage is the entryway to the House of the Dawn which reminds us that we no longer have to carry inherited or projected burdens. This is a very special place to be in, for the indications of this House are deep feelings of grief and physical or emotional trauma. This could have occurred many years ago, or yesterday — any trauma, including physical or emotional abuse, an accident, or trauma from an operation. The body holds on to shock and trauma long after the fact. Many times, even years later, delayed effect may manifest as physical symptoms, nervous breakdowns, anxiety attacks, depression, etc. For many, true healing can only begin after the release of any trauma. The vibration of The House of the Dawn works at the cellular level and releases any traumatic experience from the cellular memory itself. Star of Bethlehem essence is highly recommended for those who have experienced incest, rape, physical/sexual abuse, and those experiencing post traumatic stress. Mothers and infants can also be helped in releasing the trauma of the birth process when they engage with the House of the Dawn essence.

flower profile and essence creation story:
Like with many of my other preparations, this is one that I have dreamt of working with more intimately. Mimosa, aka Albizia julibrissin, has captivated my heart since the moment I first encountered them. Like with a lot of the other plant allies that I have felt strongly connected to, Alibizia is one used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for healing the heart and balancing the mind and spirit. Every moment with this ally has been one of wonder. Every time I see them, it’s like I am seeing them for the first time - they remind me of how renewal feels. The formulation of this essence happened on a bright and sunny day, following days of much rain. The moon was waxing in Leo. Harmony was palpable in the air after laying a Rose of Jericho plant in a bowl at the foot of the Albizia plant as an offering. I felt both of them smile at me in affirmation of this gesture. Despite the otherwise perfection of the day, things were still a bit odd, and I felt a strong Aquarian energy outside of my own, moving me through these motions - felt like this plant had a Aquarius sun, Leo moon energy about them, or vice versa. However the placements, both of those signs were distinctly implied in the frequency of this remedy. Beginning to speak to the plant with my intentions to use some of their flowers, a clear image of The Star card formed in my mind, further confirming that Aquarius synergy I was sensing. Looking around me, I noted a lot of things in 3s - groups of birds and groups of people - and this furthered my comprehension of the aspects of Aquarius that this essence was embodying. Creative expression in one that could benefit many. The Leo energy came back to mind again as I began to gather the flowers. It became quite obvious to me that the combination of this Solar and Saturnian/Uranian spirit in this remedy is meant to move expressions through processes of refinement so that the manifestation of such is in alignment with its highest potential. As a reflection of the Aquarian signature, Mimosa flowers show up with a definite distinction from the patterns that many other flowers create in their formulas. Mimosa flowers are showy and hard to miss - they happen in a spike-like formation that is very soft and gives them the other name, Silk Tree, that they are commonly known by. In the way that we witness these flowers shoot out and upward, so Mimosa essence lifts our spirit and softens our hearts. There is something very unique about this flower, and like the Aquarius disposition which is often considered “weird” or “unusual”, this plant’s essence is one that helps us see things we may be used to seeing in a new way. Working more closely with them, we also experience shifts in our perspective that enable us to consider angles we would not have otherwise thought of (Mercury in Aquarius vibes). Digging a little deeper into learning the medicine of this beautiful and simultaneously peculiar plant ally, I once pulled 3 cards to learn more about the frequency of them, and the ones that came up spoke to the quality of balancing self-awareness with group concerns. It reminded of the Leo energy I felt from them, which I initially attributed to Mimosa’s affinity for the heart, but by then had learned that they also possess a brightening disposition. This balancing act, though, is clearly reflective of the lessons contained with the Leo (self)-Aquarius (group) axis. The 3 cards’s numbers added also equaled to 19/1: The Sun - more indications of Leo/solar affinity. Another strong effect of this medicine is their direct impact on the reproductive energies - they boost fertility. Like the creative energy that this formula unblocks and enhances, the Mimosa plant itself is considered ‘invasive’ due to their unbridled reproductive capacity. This is one which you can program with your intentions and trust that you will see the fruition of it multiplied to a beneficial and beneficent bounty. In the same sequence as this essence being crafted after days of much rain (Key 16: The Tower), they also offer us hope and strengthen us with faith (Key 17: The Star) as we emerge through catalytic moments. This is one of The 22 Flowers of Life, and it connects to Key 17: The Star.

flower profile and essence creation story:
Night-blooming Jasmine appeared in the garden, discreetly, one night during a moon in Cancer, on a Venus day. Perfect synchronicity. Enchanted by the aroma, I sat in the garden for what felt like an eternity much welcomed. The scent settled in my heart like a trance, and I could hear my heartbeat relaxing while remaining steady and pronounced. It was in this interaction that I began to receive intel about the power of Night-blooming Jasmine’s essence, without having yet made or ingested it. As the night progressed, I felt more of a harmony in my constitution after a day of dealing with matters of the state and its enforced governance. Night-blooming Jasmine helped me recall the day with humor and see through the illusion of control that certain people move and speak with. Their essence enabled me to loosen up after a day of tension and discomfort. Within moments, I found myself dancing in the garden. No music was playing, but I felt a deep rhythm moving through my blood and flooding my being. In all the movement, the decision was made to make the flower essence which was initially crafted in that same waxing moonlight, remaining in the light until and through the sunrise. Such an essence is charged with a harmonizing and balancing potency — meant to bring equilibrium into the entire constitution. This is afforded through both the lunar and solar forces with which it was infused, alongside the nature of the flowers themselves. Nightblooming Jasmine, also known as Cestrum nocturnum, is a richly-scented floral part of the Solanaceae family which is commonly known as the nightshade family. The plants in this family have the common energy of containing the wisdom of the night while expressing the potential nourishment found throughout the day. Lunar Delight is a flower essence adequate for all lunar concerns. It treats menstrual and sleep imbalances alike. It fortifies intuition and promotes vivid dream recall. When shared with children or others who may experience nightmares, this essence helps them release the anxieties and nervous system stresses that may have brought those about. Lunar Delight also promotes lucid dreaming and can be charged with the intention for astral traveling if one should so decide. Like the nurturing energy of the moon and mother, this one helps us feel protected, safe, loved, and calm. It opens the heart and mind, building a fluid bridge which inspires us to see the sweetness and lightness available to us in each moment, even as we journey through the darker parts of the days. Like the 2 vibration of the lunar frequency, this is an essence which can help the feminine aspect of the self heal from wounds and traumas, in our relationship with self and others. In this way, this essence can help us attract more harmonious partnerships, relationships, and interactions. With a strong Venus and Moon energy, this flower essence is ideal for increase our magnetic pull potency and re-empowering the higher aspects of the divine feminine. Having been charged with both sun and moon makes it ideal for recalibrating the circadian rhythm, even promoting proper use of melanin, melatonin, and other hormones and biochemicals which can contribute to our homeostasis. Lunar Delight: Nightblooming Jasmine Flower Essence increases both psychic and creatively vision which are intricately connected. This flower essence is for the mothers, dreamers, divinely feminine, sublimely in tune with their masculine, everpresent within their power, the visionaries, the seers, the earthshaker, the sea within. This is one of The 22 Flowers of Life, and it connects to Key 18: The Moon.

flower profile and essence creation story:
The journey of crafting this essence was a lovely one. The sun shone brightly on the day of the astrological new year while I thought of goldenrod blossoms and, shortly after, turned to find a row of them waving at me. ‘Excited’ by this synchronicity, I walked to the flowers and spent some time with them, noting the spiderwebs that had been formed around the stems and stalks and leaves of surroundings plants and trees. Gazing carefully at these formations, I gave thanks for the medicine of spider which time and time again has reminded me to stay steady and focused in my weaving, to perfect the dreamcatchers that protect and augment my visions. Days later, I returned to this site to make the essence after some time reflecting on the yearning to liberate my family. I placed the bowl of water with flowers in between two baby blackberry plants, nonetheless thorny and protective. A song began to form in my throat as I felt the rays of sunlight fill me and I channeled that energy into the essence. The song, not yet clear, was combining with my voice as I spotted 3 ants dancing a tantalizing and tantric dance around the rim of the bowl. They continued in that rhythmic motion for what felt like an eternity. The song escaped, and it was the one the yanapuma had taught me some time ago when I encountered their protective and penetrating offering in a jungle of my dreams. The yanapuma appeared to me in the precise moment when I was being followed/accompanied by a person who had been energetically harassing me for some time. After the encounter with the yanapuma, the person was nowhere to be found and never to be seen again. The ultimate cleansing, protection, uncrossing, reversal, and all of this because of the magick this mystical creature had ‘suddenly’ shared with me. As I sang into the bowl of flowers, my heart remembered this feeling of safety, trust, and revelation - my spirit recalled the liberation of that moment, and so the song’s intention for this essence became defined. As if innerstanding what I meant, the birds seemed to join with their singing, filling in the spaces where thoughts and deep knowing brought me into waves of silence. “A Special Essence” came to me as a clear encapsulation of the vibration of these moments together as one. In this same way, Goldenrod reminds us of the all that makes us whole. With their latin name, Solidago, meaning “to make whole” or “to bring together”, it is no wonder that the lucidity of perception that one experiences in union with Solidago is everpresent after that contact with them. They not only help us to stand true to self and source in social situations where one might otherwise be swayed to ‘fit in’ with the group, they also aid us in integrating and healing our inner child, especially the parts that were not accepted by our parents or caretakers but that we have longed to express. Goldenrod flower essence is for the ones considered the ‘weirdo’, the ‘black sheep (who are not sheep at all)’, the ‘outcast’, or the ‘underdog’ - for the one whose light the world sees but too often turns away from because it is so bright. With Solidago, we can feel safe and secure in and as ourselves, so while they target the 3rd eye and crown chakras, they also activate the balanced manifestations of the root, sacral, and solar plexus, ultimately bridging the gaps within our heart. Solidago, like the solar energy they emanate, are also ideal for those who have a lot to do, whether work or personal projects or parenting, and need a boost of both energy and discipline. Those who experience feelings of envy or jealousy because they cannot clearly see their own special essence can benefit greatly from working with Goldenrod flower essence. An essence for the weavers, this is one to take when feeling a stirring for creation from within and seeking a safe space to channel it. At the core, this is a vibrational remedy that is effective for helping to enforce a better and more loving relationship with self, informed by a brightened perspective and a truly clear view. This is one of The 22 Flowers of Life, and it connects to Key 19: The Sun.

flower profile and essence creation story:
This is an essence that had spoken to me of its creation long before I had the chance to act on it. Mesmerized by the drooping ‘fall’ of the flowers as they grow on the plant and knowing enough about their poisonous medicine offering, I felt called to meditate with this ally. They appeared to me as the one guarding the entry to the ‘shadow garden’ of my mind. In it, all of the plants were so tall that the entire garden was cast with shadows, and so the smaller plants were not receiving so much direct sunlight, yet they looked healthy. This image in my mind was a clear depiction of the way this ally works - restoring one to health through the dark, providing cover for the not-so-developed aspects of ourselves which may call for some protective shielding from a force that could otherwise burn it. For several weeks, I continued my meditations with this ally before attempting to make an essence with them. Months later, the air is again perfect for this work and the flowers are once more in bloom, so I endeavor toward completing this mission. As I’m in the process of crafting it, I start getting messages in the form of numbers and colors, denoting some of the work this ally is to do. Red, fire, solar energies formed in my mind’s eye. The sun, the king of wands, and a person speaking so loudly, they can hear nothing but themselves. A great blazing fire shows up, and then there is rain - a rain-fall that cools. Walking with the bowl of flowers, I spot a small black snake slithering across the point where the bowl would soon sit to infuse and charge. Making more and more sense of the symbols, I began to see what this remedy would aid us in. Rightfully named Angel’s Trumpet and lovingly known as Brugmansia, this one brings us wake-up calls and enables us to gracefully release any resistance to change. When one is set in their ways of perceiving, thinking, and acting, and they are overdue for a letting go of those energies, Angel’s Trumpet essence comes forward as the sound which shakes us out of whatever spell is keeping us inattentive to the work at hand. This is a key for spiritual awakening, attuning to the frequency of 7 for elevation into our crown and 2 for attunement to our deepest knowings and inner creative wellspring. Thus this is a key for the artists and creatives who seek to ground their inspirations and ideas into the concrete realm. It helps us to be properly organized in the work, while enabling to initiate lasting changes from the inside out. Audible Airs also is for those who need to be more true to self and stop externalizing “guilt” and “blame”, while instead discharging the karmic build-up from words, thoughts, and actions. As used in Hoodoo, the Ant essence added is furthermore effective for such deliverance. This is one for hearing and speaking the truth, for purity of communication and opening us to our God-code - the profoundly expansive information contained right in our genetic information. With this, they also enable us to access intel from our ancestral timeline, through communion with spirit guides, and in metacognition within the self. A potion for living, this one is as much effective for dissolution of old forms, constructs, and structures, as well as for those who are witnessing or aiding a loved one in a death transition. With the sound of the trumpet, all ears will hear truth and all eyes will see the brilliance of their inner moon and sun. This is one of The 22 Flowers of Life, and it connects to Key 20: Judgment.
A note about using flower essences:
flower essences are not oils. They are vibrational healing remedies which affect and change energetic conditions and, like some oils and other medicines, can be used internally, on acupuncture/acupressure points and chakras, sprayed in the energy field, dripped in your water, and even used for personal and professional massaging. It is best to use an essence or combination and/or group of essences for 30-33 days to permanently shift patterns and create new habits, healthier lifeways.

flower profile and essence creation story:
The first time I saw Aloe flower blooms, I was pleasantly surprised, taken aback by the beauty. It was an Aloe plant that I had received as a gift from a friend in college in 2010, and 14 years later that same Aloe plant still thrives and has had many babies. A creative being of the highest order.
Similar to its applications in direct medicinal use, Aloe flower essence is one that soothes and smoothens. This essence is indicated for those who are experiencing irritations and inflammations from emotional or mental upsets. It is also recommended when one has burnt out their inner fire through overwork or lack of balancing the internal elements. The result of its application is ease in flow and an overall balancing of one’s fiery temperaments. This is an essence that is beneficial to those who have an overabundance of earth and air in their constitutions — the earth that results from too much burning and the dry air that results when earth is not balanced by water.
This affinity for those who have an overabundance of earth may also show up as helpful to folks who have been experiencing obsession with materialism and money to the point of becoming workaholics for such attainment. It doesn’t make one feel shame for these inclinations, but rather supports trust in the function of time-space and divine alignment to bring one closer to the materialization of desires. It suggests that we may not always get what we want immediately not because we have to overwork ourselves for it, but rather because we have to prepare ourselves to be ready to receive it and act wisely with it. When one may feel like they are on the verge of a breakdown, be it emotional, mental, spiritual,or physical, due to exhaustion, Aloe vera essence comes forth as a beacon which enables us to rest and center our forces so that we are not so stressed and scattered. It promotes moderation while revitalizing our creative wellspring, assuring us that there is no need to act like we lack when in fact nature offers us so much of what we actually need.
Waters of Creation is the fourth element which is required to properly nourish the life one may be incubating through creative ideations and the drafting of visions. It says yes to experiencing life from the heart again and trusting in its innate fullness. If you feel empty in any way, Waters of Creation will fill you up. It says, rest and trust, after a long journey.

the story:
These drops come in brown bottles for optimal preservation. This formula was created in response to my own needs to alleviate the eye strain I was experiencing from working on computer — it was implemented as part of an eye detox program created for a thorough healing of vision. Using the mother essences of flower essences before alcohol is added, alongside certain minerals and elements vital for the healing and nourishing of the eyes. Calendula, Chrysanthemum, and Eyebright are all considered ideal for healing optical imbalances when taken in some medicinal form (usually tincture or infusion and eye wash) consistently. Instead of creating a direct infusion, a solar flower essence was made with the flowers of each of these and this served as the inspirational basis for this formula. Later on, bilberries and strawberries came forward as effective in this potion (through a dream), so essences of those berries were made and also added. Eating those berries is in truth very beneficial to eye health as they both contain antioxidants such as vitamins A and E which help to clear any free radicals creating the manifestation of other problems throughout the body, very specifically the brain and eyes. MSM is a sulfur-rich compound and sulfur is needed to help recycle glutathione which is the master antioxidant in the body. This makes MSM useful and specific for good eye health as antioxidant support has long been proven to be beneficial for clearing and strengthening vision. The MSM in these eye drops in great part responsible for the healing effects of them and, unlike commercial eye drops, have no side effects or toxicity. These eye drops, with the combination of (alcohol-free) flower essences and homemade eye solution alongside the MSM, are used for helping increase cell permeability in the eyes, in turn improving nutrient flow and absorption. This furthermore balances pressure in the eyes, repairs membranes, and remove impurities. The Flora Eye Drops are also effective for relieving inflammation. The sulfur in MSM attracts toxicities in the eyes and helps to flush them out of the body — this is really good especially for the back, jelly-like part of the eye (vitreous). When in front of a computer for a long time, it is ideal to use a drop or two of these every few hours, up to 5 times a day to ensure that you are upholding proper preventative measure for your eye’s health.
ingredients:
MSM, sal, homemade eye solution, water, mother essences of chrysanthemum, calendula, eyebright, bilberries
invitations for use:
For use in eyes. Use as indicated on notecard. Shake well before use. Store in a cool, dark place. Shelf life varies, usually lasts up to one year.

the story:
This one is called ‘Mother Sweetest’ because this potion is sweet and crafted with a sweet-tasting ally whose milky elixir is reminiscent of a nourishing mother’s milk. Astragalus is medicine widely used in China. Astragalus serves as an overall tonic for the body, particularly toning the heart and kidneys. As a tonic for the heart, Astragalus increases how much blood the heart can pump (which is limited in instances of heart disease) in people who have complained of chest pain. They strengthen the left side of the heart, the part that is usually sluggish in heart disease, and slow down the heart rate in those whose hearts are beating too fast. In one study, Astragalus even helped people who had just had a heart attack. Within 36 hours of the attack, the herb improved function of the left-side ventricles. There was also reduced oxidation and increased superoxide dismutase (an enzyme that speeds up certain chemical reactions in the body) activity on red blood cells, which is one of the suggestions of Astragalus working as an antioxidant. Huang Chi has also been suggested as one capable of balancing levels of salt and water in the body, thus helping the kidneys function better. Overall findings of Astragalus’s effectiveness on the heart have revealed that employing them for treatment is more effective and has less side effects than conventional drugs prescribed by doctors. This along with its ability to increase sperm motility make it ideal, also, for men’s health maintenance as men tend to experience a higher rate of heart disease and reproductive imbalances after a certain age. Further elaborating on Astragalus potency, there has been evidence that Huang Ch’i (as Astragalus is known in the Orient) strengthens the primary energy and tonifies what is known as the three burning spaces. As an energizer of the outside of the body, this is one considered a tonic superior to Ginseng for younger people who tend to be more physically active. Huang Ch’i is said to be strengthening, particularly, to the legs and arms, and because of their warm energetic, they are good for people who work outside in locations where the climate gets cooler. Because they energize the outside of the body, Astraglus is used to tonify the protective energy which circulates just under the skin. This energy is the Yang counterpart of a more Yin nutritional energy which flows through the twelve meridians and supplies the organs with vital force. Wei, as this Yang component is known, is generated in the lungs, and after the lungs have extracted chi from the air and the stomach and spleen extract chi from the food, the air and food energies are united in the lung to generate the essential energy. Astragalus, through toning the lungs, especially with the Yang component, helps the body build an abundance of free-flowing Yang chi, thus fortifying the defense mechanism of the body. Astragalus, being a chi tonic, is also a blood tonic (chi moves blood). This helps to regulate fluid metabolism, so regular use of this ally can help to reduce the frequency of bloating and eliminate water retention. Combining this tincture with an infusion of Hawthorn, the blood circulating value of Huang Ch’i increases. When combined with Licorice root infusion, the blood-sugar balancing qualities come forth. Astragalus is also considered an adaptogen which, as depicted above, means that it possesses an ability to help us adapt to and properly cope with stressful situations, allowing us to move through transitions with ease and grace. They remind us of the nourishing mother who fills us with the vitality required to maintain livelihood in all times and through all transitions.

the story:
A plant which is widely found throughout Jamaica and other islands in the region, Jack ina Bush aka Rompe Saraguey is ancestral medicine in its own right.

the story:
Botanical inks and dyes have been used historically to write both the maddest and most liberating of spells. Containing the power of the plant from which the botanical part comes, these inks tend to fair well for ritual work and to commune with ancestors, spirits, and other guides. With the rawness of the materials used, what is created with these inks fairs well as talisman in their own right. Ancient Elder Hues is a series of inks hat can be used with quill pens and artist’s paintbrushes alike. These are inks made with berries, either poke or elder — you pick which one you want, if not both. Pokeberries and elderberries seem complementary, by ‘opposition’ or ‘polarity’ in nature. Poke, being distinctly toxic, holds the power of death and transformation as part of its magick; whereas Elder, in its creative essence, teaches us how to ensure more life. The recipes used for this is centuries old. The scope of color that we get from these inks range from blue to purple to burgundy to red. The colors can also be changed by exposed the dyed, painted, or written on material to sunlight. Though this offering is displayed in a clear bottle, it comes and must be kept in a brown bottle to preserve the color. It is important to note that the berries used can be potentially toxic and neither of them should be used internally. Each order comes with notecards detailing further uses for the ink as well as more information about the spiritual powers of each of the plant allies. Very limited batches — once sold, won’t be available again until the berries are back in season.

the story:
Update 2/27/21: Flying ointments will begin to ship on 3/25/21.
The Cojobana seeds for this ointment were gifted to me by my grandfather. It is with my ancestors’ permission that I share this medicine, so please use with reverence, mindfulness, and respect for the offering. In Kiskeya (commonly known as the Dominican Republic/Haiti) where my family is from, Cojobana seeds are ground as used as snuff in vision quest ceremonies for communion with other nature spirits, ancestral guides, and beings of the underworld and within the oversoul. Cojobana seeds, when inhaled, promote hallucinations that expand the perception beyond what is readily present for the naked eye. When applied topically, they promote a relaxation of the surface senses, so that the acute sensible faculties come to the forefront and enable you to sense the subtleties and perceive what may otherwise be missed by the more ‘topical’ sensations. Cojobana in combination with Altamisa (Mugwort) has also been used as unguento in my family for the relief of pain. The plant of Cojobana seeds is considered sacred to the indigenous peoples of the island. It is in the same family as Tamarind, which produces a beloved seeded fruitpulp, and Mimosa, whose flowers enchant and can be used in nourishing and supportive medicine alongside the bark. Mandrake and Mugwort are two herbs often found in flying ointments and which further augment the effects of Cojobana. The flowers of Mandrake have been considered sacred offerings to both gods and the dead. With this, they can be effective as an invoking element for both our ancestors and divine guides. Mandrake is also magickally used for love, fertility, wealth, and sex magick. This ally is one that has strong Venusian influence with Saturnian and Neptunian under and overtones - their love magick is catalyzed through enabling a shift in consciousness, an expansion in imagination, and the ability to master movement through time in the mind. Mandrake, like other allies in this flying ointment such as Blue Lotus flowers, can help to enhance psychic awareness and ease of prophetic vision. The scent of Mandrake, being one of the Nightshade family (which includes peppers, potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants, etc), is said to deter evil entities and vampiric forces, making them an ideal protective ally. Blue Lotus also furthers the aphrodisiac potential of this unguento, and with Vervain, any tensions that may disrupt the flow and fluidity of sexual and ecstatic expression surely dissipate. This Indigenous Flying Ointment can be called such because all of the allies present here have use with roots that can be traced back to indigenous and ancient communities. The ancestral force that propels the power in this is one that is offered by ancestors both having (had) human form and not. This one is for holy communion with source, self, and the wide web of dancing, entrancing spirits.
ingredients:
mandrake root, mugwort leaves, wormwood leaves, blue lotus flowers, cojobana seeds, vervain roots and leaves, sunflower oil, beeswax

the story:
Yet another oxymel! But this time a bit more simple, yet nevertheless POTENT. This one works in an instant — each time it has been used at home, we have noted a STRONG energy for clearing out the intestinal and stomach content. Made with strawberries and chamomile, this one provides probiotic support. Chamomile is notably competent in addressing digestive issues ranging from colic in babies to cramping and constipation in adults to gas and general discomfort in all people. Chamomile is one that reminds of the Mothers in my life as my grandmothers, mother, and myself all used/use it when our children experienced/experience those sorts of imbalances. Strawberries, part of the Rose family, possess a similarly nurturing and soothing frequency. Strawberries also have a rich nutritional value, making them especially nourishing to the system while being a key element for the strengthening of digestion that this formula provides. Strawberries possess a rich variety of phytochemicals and antioxidants which make them great for helping fight inflammatory disorders. These berries are even good for eye health! This is, again, afforded through the antioxidants in this delicious fruit which help to halt macular degeneration and prevent cataracts. Strawberries also contain vitamin C, while like vitamins E and A (all three considered antioxidants), help support eye health. This is directly connected to digestive health, as often when we experience indigestion or otherwise excretory interruptions, there is also the result of the mind being clouded and thus vision being obstructed on one level or another, internally and/or externally. Peaches are another member of the Rose family which not only offers support as prebiotic, but also extends into the reproductive system, cleansing out any disharmony in those spaces. The Flower and Fruit Punch, though being strong in targeting bodily metabolism, is very much an all-body tonic. With Chamomile and Schizandra, the brightening of the mind that we receive from the cleaning of our portals is even more so the case. Schizandra tones digestion, reproduction, and cognition all at once. In combination, these 4 flower and fruit friends restore our intestinal flora and fortify the seeds within mind to produce strong fruit to be manifest. The Flower and Fruit Punch oxymel is mostly sweet, a bit bitter, and entirely healing.
ingredients:
strawberries, peaches, chamomile flowers, schizandra berries, apple cider vinegar, local honey

the story:
A playful medicine that personally brings this family a lot of joy, The Rosy Peaches got its name as I was listening to Kimya Dawson of The Moldy Peaches, and found myself ‘tickled’ by the childlike energy of the song I was listening to (Utopian Futures). This oxymel is the follow-up from a series of springtime oxymels that have been crafted since the start of the season. Like the Roseberry Beauty Oxymel, it contains several of the plants from the Rose family, namely Lady’s Mantle, Blackberry, Peach, and Rose herself. Like the Roseberry Beauty Oxymel, this one awakens all of our senses and takes us within and beyond - here we find ourselves stable in our center, yet aware of and in tune with the world around and beyond us. The Rosy Peaches, similar to the Mimosa flower essence, embody the energies of hope and faith, providing us with the vision for better tomorrows and the tenacity to see them through. Alongside that, this vibration is offered to us through the plant medicines contained in Rosy Peaches. Roses and Peaches, being two of the main ingredients, share with us similar healing properties - they heal the heart, tone the stomach and promote the function of digestive organs, beautify the skin, calm the mind, and strengthen the body. Roses are especially high vibrational and remind us of how to be love in a world where it is scarce. Roses also alleviate anxiety and depression and, similar to their family member, the Blackberry plant, target the brain and help to recalibrate our neurological processes. Possessing antioxidants, these are allies that help to maintain us rejuvenated and keep our cells ready to continue their work. There is a lot of cool and calm in this formula - beyond the properties of these plants being cooling, perfect for the late spring/summer season, they also promote a general relaxation of the entire being. Others such as Damiana, Blue Lotus, and Ashwagandha support this function and help strengthen the mental faculties in the present, making this an oxymel ideal before an early rising meditation or late night yoga session, for instance. Ashwagandha, promoting a relief of tension from the heart space, also helps us to deepen our breathing, furthering their indication as a spiritual ally. Blue Lotus enhances this by enabling us to tap into theta waves and accentuate our dreamtime experience. Moringa and Schizandra are both considered tonic and essential, in their own right, and can bring in some form of heat through stimulating processes and activating the body. Schizandra is like Ashwagandha in their use as spiritual aid. Schizandra promotes clarity of thought and lucidity of experience. in the body, the have a specific affinity for the water element, helping to bring balance to it and can be effective in treating dryness of the vagina and discharge from an infection or wound, alike. Calendula is added to catalyze the function of other herbs in the formula, while also serving as a tonic to the throat, reproductive centers, and stomach. Vivid in their workings, these allies come together in a synthesis of promising renewed health, revitalized faith, and fortified courage. Working through the major meridians in the body, this oxymel is made to ease access and continuity in joy. This is a formula intended for the creative child and well-nourished adult within, inviting them/us to co-create and learn from each other.

the story:
An Enchantment Potion. Roses have an enticing aura, even spell-binding in nature - they can seduce us into deep love and sensual awareness. High vibrational as they are, Roses reminds us of the richness of this embodied experience. They are abundant in nature, being a family of many of the fruits we enjoy including raspberries, blackberries, peaches, apples, and even cherries. A formula made with Rose family berries seems to warrant the name Roseberry Beauty for this family is one that affords us health that shows up as grace and elegance in our disposition. Through the antioxidant power of blackberry leaves and fruits, our faces and skin show an enhancement of ‘the glow’. Lady’s Mantle is considered another beauty herb whose astringent properties lend themselves well for toning the womb, the breasts, and the skin. When applied topically, they can tighten the skin, helping to alleviate the ‘sagging’, puffiness, or bagginess that can occur in multiple parts of the body. Red raspberry leaf and peach leaves have a taste that feels like a delicious iced tea, and their properties are generally cooling and ideal for hot dispositions and warmer times of the year. Peach leaves have also proven to be particularly useful for the lungs as an expectorant and to help relieve symptoms associated with conditions such as bronchitis. They also also effective in treating stomach disorders, further boosting the work of other allies in this formula whose effects heal this meridian. Agrimony, as an activator of liver function, has the capacity to regulate proper digestion promoting ease of constipation and other such uncomfortable circumstances. Energetically, Agrimony helps us to express ourselves honestly and in alignment with our true heart. With Schizandra berries, the work on all of the organs is further complemented. Schizandra also has a particular affinity for the reproductive organs and has been known to provide exceptional lubrication of flow of bodily fluids, while also arresting overflow and dampness. Raspberries pair well with schizandra berries as support for the womb and rejuvenation of the kidneys. The final touches to this potion - Blue Lotus flowers, Damiana leaves, and a Goldenrod flower essence - really elevate the energy of the oxymel even more. Blue Lotus flowers have long been used as love flowers, helping us to awaken euphoria and step into ecstasy and bliss. Blue Lotus is also known to relax and relieve, serving exceptionally as one whose power reminds us that the path of least resistance will facilitate more grace and ease upon the path. Blue Lotus flowers also have a beautifying effect upon the skin when used topically and/or internally. Damiana is capable of regulating the nervous system in a way that relaxes it where needed, while activating it where it might be sluggish or stagnant. For this reason Damiana can lend us both focus and stamina, all the while attuning us to pleasurable internal energies of calm and confidence. Finished with a Goldenrod flower essence, this one is a concoction of self-love and self-awareness. Motivating our security to wholeness on a somatic level translates well to protecting us from frequencies that would otherwise have us out of harmony. One of the beautiful things about this formula, besides its taste and appearance, is that it is intended to heal us in a thorough manner, repairing old wounds while awakening a new perspective of melodic allure and overall synchronicity. (Psst. A good number of these allies are considered aphrodisiacs, so feel free to share with your intimate beloved(s).)

the story:
The Shapeshifter’s Vision Spagyric is so named because the promise of such a formula is to enhance inner sight and facilitate the transmutation of one’s energies to more useful forms. Formulated and charged through several full moons, this one is empowered for night quests in the underworld, prompting one to clearly see and furthermore be able to retrieve whatever parts of the source self has been in hiding for safe-keeping due to traumatic events and shocking encounters. With such a potion, one is able to clearly assess the past, how it factors into the present, and where the shifts can happen for greater alignment in the future. Cat’s Claw comes forward as a primary ingredient in this concoction. Associated with Mars , Uncaria tomentosa (Cat’s Claw) is called “opener of the way” for they can enable us being in our own flow and will, unobstructed by distractions or obstacles. Considered the life-giving vine of Peru, this ally has use dating back to the Inca civilization, so there is a strong imprint of ceremonial, indigenous, and shamanic power within this one. They are regarded as a nootropic with the capacity to repair DNA, suppress cancer, and protect the neurological system. Similarly potent, Black Cohosh has a very pronounced effect on the nervous system. This one is a lunar herb with the capacity to address a wide range of lunar concerns - from irregular menstruation to epilepsy and hysteria, Black Cohosh aka Black Snakeroot is potent for the work of restoring balance while also prompting transition from beta to alpha waves for a more integrative healing experience. Wolfberry is commonly known as Goji berries and widely used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for longevity and brightening of the spirits. This ally is a solar force in a formula with otherwise deeply lunar, Saturnian, and mercurial frequencies activating it. Wolfberry is well known as both liver and blood tonic, hinting to be one with supreme cleansing power. Adding to the vision enhancing medicine of Cat’s Claw, Wolfberry has long been revered for improving night vision and even strengthening the legs! It is really no wonder why this one had to be a part of a preparation such as this - they really prepare us from head to toe to be sharp upon the journey. Bearberry, filled with the energy of lunar influence through their impact upon some of the waterways of the body, such as the urinary bladder, is one that also supports women through pregnancy and labor. They also boost energies and alleviate postpartum pain and discomfort. Capable of speeding up healing, they can be applied to burns, canker sores, wounds, bruises, and areas of inflammation. Indigenous peoples of the Americas have used the leaves of this ally in blends to bring vision and insight, while facilitating divination and heightening intuition. White Oak Bark, a potent final touch, brings in the energy of Jupiter for benevolence, abundance, and expansion. Similar to Bearberry, they promote speedy healing and detoxify the body. White Oak tree is considered a symbol of great strength and stamina. They are abundant and readily found in many spaces throughout the world, demonstrating an omnipresent potential which can open one to perception that is more vast in its innerstanding. Without having to fly in the sky, yet standing tall and upright, this ally is one that gives us guidance for fullness of foresight, imagination, and a high view. All of this considered, The Shapeshifter’s Vision Spagyric is thoroughly and truthfully a formula for shapeshifting and awakening insight, for transmuting into higher and deeper forms and accessing memory and full recovery of the whole Self.

the story:
The Mother Moon Potion is a long-time favorite. This time, the formula has been upgraded to include allies for ensuring deeper attunement to both the pineal and pituitary glands while fortifying the work done within the womb and reproductive system. The thought to do so came very naturally, not really planned out - it flowed from me as I was crafting a 3rd batch of this formula (the 2nd one was sold as part of a monthly exchange). Mugwort came forth first, being evidently allied with the Moon. Mugwort, aka Artemisia vulgaris, is considered a visionary herb, helping us to dream vivid and promoting psychic vision, making them exceptional for divination work and seer journeys. Considered an herb of the Crone, they inspire observation and focus within us, promoting the silence and discipline that may be required when embarking on deep inner work and artistic soul adventures. "Mugwort opens up chambers of ancient memory within the brain, bringing to one's dream life stirring visions of past and future that overflow with magical imagery. The symbols that dance through your mugwort-touched dreams pull out the cobwebs of our forgetfulness and assist us in remembering old, unwritten ways of healing and living that attend to the needs of spirit and soul." With such an ally, we can delight in the depth of excavation required for full remembrance and recall of our truth. Damiana followed; a heart relief. Long used in love potions, this herb is sacred in Mexico, Guatemala, and other parts of the region, and is especially prepared in an aphrodisiac concoction. The Maya, calling Damiana “Mizibcoc”, have used this herb to treat loss of balance and over-excitability - here we see the effectiveness of Turnera diffusa (Damiana) as a relief for extremes of any kind. Gracefully, they bring us back to center. When combined with Mugwort, their function of treating depression and anxiety is reinforced. These two have the added power of helping to fight infections. Cleavers and Chasteberry are the original components of the Mother Moon Potion. Chasteberries are great for headaches, like both Mugwort and Damiana. They work within the 3rd eye and crown chakra, also supporting the work done by Turnera and Artemisia. Chasteberry, kind of contrarily to their name, helps to boost fertility while also balancing estrogen levels. They can treat endometriosis and fibroids, making them ideal for all concerns of women’s reproduction. Chasteberry support the mother and the child. In Cleavers, we find a particular affinity to water through their ability to enable lymphatic cleansing. A spring herb, they help to clean our blood as we enter the seasons of more light and lightness. This Potion, through in its function, enables us to become aware of the processes that connect our vision to creating portals for manifestation. With Mother Moon Potion no. 3, we are supported through the many stages of our internal evolution as we get ready to birth new creations.

the story:
It’s truly been a longtime coming with this one. I’ve been having vivid dreams about Juniper berries for some time. In one, there was a girl who had Juniper berries in her hair - months later one of my apprentices shared with me how her hair had gotten caught in a Juniper shrub, like they were talking to her telling her to pay attention. We had received a very similar message for I had previously received the inspiration to craft a Juniper oil for the scalp - Juniper is useful for stimulating hair growth and treating conditions that contribute to the loss of hair. Affording this effect, they stimulate blood to the crown, not only promoting growth but also promoting an overall sensitivity in that region of our physical and auric being. Thus, our crown chakra experiences an upgrade and are antennas are strengthened. This stimulation is also partly responsibility for the relief of mental exhaustion that one experiences when working with this Woodland-scented plant medicine. Versatile in their use, Juniper berries have been revered as purifying, while Indigenous Americans have used them in cleansing ceremonies such as sweat lodge. With this in mind the oil has been charged to cleanse and purify self, times, and spaces. Corpses in Ancient ‘Egypt’ were anointed with Juniper oil, further speaking to the connection that this ally and aroma has to the there-beyond. Used after warm showers or baths, this oil is particular suited for alleviating anxiety, drowsiness, nervous tension, and mental exhaustion while also being effective in relieving muscular and arthritic pains. Applied to the chest, the Woodland Aroma helps fight colds, flu, and infections. Juniper is also widely considered to have the power to restore lost youth as they have an invigorating and ‘charging’ quality about their frequency. This moreover indicates that this is one with the ability to regenerate and strengthen. Truly, this ally offers us so much, so when you a Juniper tree or Juniper shrub, be sure to offer them a gift, a song, a moment of reverence, acknowledgment, and gratitude, some water.
Note: For this offering, sliding scale prices are available for black and afroindigenous people. If you are neither of those, please pay full price. Thank you so much for cooperating and innerstanding.

the story:
The scent of this one is revealed more gradually than some of our other oils, but it is nevertheless impactful and transformative in its effect. This is the reformulation of another oil which contained Lavender, Frankincense, and Myrrh (that one will be available again soon), yet this time there is Lavender, Vitex (Chaste tree) berries, and Blue Lotus flowers as the main ingredients. This trinity is holistic in its impact on the womb, within the heart, and in the mind. It is a thorough composition with allies focused toward enhancing reproductive health through balancing the pituitary and adrenal glands, namely, while also subtly targeting the surface and the medicine is absorbed through the pores. Lavender has a more penetrating and sharper scent, making it the top note that we get a whiff of first. This quality makes them ideal for respiratory, muscular, and circulatory ailments. Lavender is known to open the lungs and promote better breathing - this is also useful fo meditative practices. Their elevating and lifting energetics help to enhance the spiritual essence, while their calming and alleviating properties help to relax the body. Lavender has a balancing effect that lends itself well for reproductive conditions as well. Used to massaged the womb, Lavender oils treat PMS and related manifestations such as cramping, emotional swings, and physical exhaustion. Combined with Vitex berries and Blue Lotus flowers, this makes the oil very ideal for deeply rooted menstrual or other sort of reproductive imbalances. These three also combine well as aiding sleep and alleviating insomnia, depression, stress, anxiety, and emotional imbalances. Lavender and Blue Lotus flowers are suited for the work of treating skin conditions such as acne, dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, and even sunburns and rashes. Blue Lotus is considered particularly enchanting, and combined with both Lavender and Chaste tree berries, they are useful for balancing sexual energy and strengthening core confidence. Though considered a third eye oil, we can see and experience that this one moves through all the major centers, starting at the root and ascending through the crown.

the story:
A heaven-sent scent which grounds us deeply into our core being. Aromatherapy is a special kind of medicine which can activate our brain and body in deep and unknowingly necessary ways. This one is a root chakra oil but the scent goes right to your head and it stays there, doing an important work of ‘triggering’ memory and ancestral recall. Here we begin a particular and essential undoing and simultaneous attunement - there is that which we will release and plenty to be embraced. This oil is meant to be used as a talisman of enjoyment and healing. Frankincense resin is one of the primary ingredients, and a scent that lingers long after the top and middle notes have dissipated. Frankincense is considered a purifier of the body and soul. Because of their ability to relax the breath, Frankincense has been considered ideal for meditative practices. This is also useful when going deep into somatic and genetic activation work - a journey that requires much focus and persistence. Connecting this with allies like Ginger root, Cloves, and Cinnamon, this oil also serves well as a stimulant for the libido, particularly suited in practice of sexual tantra and extended pleasure play. Patchouli is also considered an aphrodisiac, and their aromatherapeutic benefits are especially useful, in this regard, for helping to promote sexual confidence and alleviate root and sacral anxieties associated with trauma. This ally, Pogostemon cablin (Patchouli), also has the ability to calm appetite and promote awareness of other such cravings when they are not rooted in a true need. In this way, here is an oil that can benefit a higher and balanced expression of root chakra energy. It provides harmony to both the body and spirit. Though warming in essence, this oil can be used in any season, as it helps to regulate temperatures that may fall throughout the days and cycles. The Genetic Decoding process is one that helps us to unearth the inmost reasonings of our present while providing a blueprint for better relations with self, first and foremost, and the ones we love - this extends into the ancestral template and helps us to formulate a healing plan for ensuring a healthier, greatly evolved in love posterity. Ultimately, this oil is versatile in use and applicable for all sorts of root chakra imbalances, whether excesses or deficiencies.

elements:
water + air + fire
uses:
repel mosquitos and certain other insects; alleviate menstrual cramps; speed wound healing; relieve stress and anxiety; reduce inflammation; invoke primal source self energy; attract friendly animal spirits; promote rest and relaxation; treat skin irritation; encourage detoxification through sweating and urination
the story:
An essential-oil-free formula. Only available in 2 ounce bottles. There is something very interesting about both the term “anima” and the fact that each of the plant spirit medicines in this oil blend have an intimate connection to certain animals and insects. For one, anima is a word that refers to “an individual’s true self that, in the analytic psychology of C.G. Jung, reflects archetypal ideas of conduct.” In philosophy, it is the soul or animating principle of a living thing. Furthermore, the etymology of this word tells us that it is the Latin anima which means “a current of air, wind, air, breath; the vital principle, life, soul”. Moreover, this one is closely resonant with the word “animal” which corresponds to entities with a level of intellectual capacity (even in the order of animal living) and having life (though we are fully aware that more than just the animal kingdom is infused with the essence of life - these are mere scientific order terms), so this oil is a combination of the grace of animal spirits and the original essence within, primal and ancient in nature. Catnip, a plant capable of inducing euphoria in cats, is enchanting and feminine - relaxing, stimulating, and tantalizing, simultaneously. Something about feline catnip sensitivity is that it is hereditary and about 70-80% of cats inherit this sensitivity, yet it is something that is not evident until about 4-6 months after the cat is born. The effects are likened to that of THC or psilocybin effects - so, quite naturally, catnip possesses a deeply ancestral quality about it even when considering their extensive use in many parts of the world, beginning in some of the most ancient of civilizations. Bee balm supports the function of Catnip by enhancing the skin protecting power of Nepeta (Catnip). Bee balm promotes the opening of the respiratory passages, so, like Eucalyptus, they are great for treating coughs, colds, and even bronchial spasms. Topically, they heal the skin and any wounds. Bee balm is known as such because of the way they attract and keep bees around. Symbols of collaborative work ethic, bees can invite us to consider the ways we can open into a supportive community, recognizing the power of our own contributions within the collective. Eucalyptus, a plant whose leaves koalas often enjoy, is an ally for seeing in the night and enhancing dream time experience, reminiscent of the koala’s nocturnal disposition. Further lunar associations are seen in the fact that “koala” comes from an ‘aboriginal’ term meaning “no water” because it is believed that koalas get almost all their moisture from the eucalyptus leaves they eat, and so they drink very little water. Combined, Catnip, Bee balm, and Eucalyptus also stimulate the nervous system and the brain with their aroma. They can be warming in combination, potentially promoting sweating in individuals with certain constitutions - this, in turn, offers an ally for detoxification through the skin. Espiritu Anima, thus, is an oil blend that invites these friendly creatures to support our journey while offering us insights into how we can be better stewards to the wider web of our ecosystems; with this formula at hand, you can step fully into alignment with the first laws of earth, all natural.

An essential-oil-free formula. Magick abounds in this bottle. Venus sits omnipresent at the core, commanding beauty, harmony, and love, while inviting a great change. The Earth’s twin, Venus is an energetic signature of abundance and potential. As embodied by The Empress, she is the matron of intelligence and understanding.

Rose also have a deep connection to figures such as La Virgen de Guadalupe, Yemaya, and other mother/mater/matter/madre figures - serving as both protective and enchanting. Furthering this medicine, sage leaves and schizandra berry come forth. A little spoken of quality of Sage is their power for giving strength specifically to the feminine energy, and combined with Damiana, they are known to increase wisdom, guidance, while aiding the decision-making process. Schizandra lends their energy to deepen the connection between the root, sacral, and solar plexus, all the while prompting the pituitary and pineal centers to operate optimally. Primrose and Heather are more rarely used but serve as extremely powerful agents against intrusive forces, especially those that work in conjunction with governmental entities who seek to control souls. Through and through, this is a formula of liberation. Gem stone essences are added to empower the spiritual and physical body and help enhance whatever work is being done. The totality of this work is one that ultimately awakens and strengthens somatic awareness, while promoting healthier interactions with our body.

the story:
Articum Lappa aka Burdock is a potently yang plant whose root is often used in medicine as an ally of all sorts. A relative of the sunflower, they have a disposition for increasing the vital energy. In Hoodoo, they are renowned as a protective root that can be carried with agrimony and rue, for instance, to deflect hexes and evil eyes placed on you by others. Within this same tradition, Burdock has been infused in olive oil and use to restore male power (make men potent again after impotency) by rubbing it on their genitals. Considering this deeply yang quality, it is wise for people with both high yang or yin dispositions to gradually balance this nature. Yin dominant individuals can take Burdock tinctures, for instance, in doses as small as 3 drops at a time, increasing to 25-35 drops over time. Yang dominant peoples can take 1 drop, up to 7 times a day to start, and increase the dosage up to 11 drops, 3 times a day (for our particular tincture). Because it is a diaphoretic and helps to expel excess heat via fluids, this plant medicine can ultimately balance the fire qualities in a person. They are best taken as a food/mixed with foods for this purpose. Moreover, Articum is effective for other ailments relative to heat imbalances such as skin irritations, psoriasis, eczema, fevers, boils, and other such conditions. High in mineral content, they prove to be effective for hair loss that is associated with a nutritional deficiency. NOW, in the form of a spagyric, the full medicine of Burdock is engaged. Spagyrics are deeply alchemical preparations - in these, the soul (acids), spirit (alcohols), and body (mineral salts) of a plant are integrated through the use of both water and fire. In the spagyric process, extractions of the plants are carried forth and then recombined into a single formula. Chemically, the minerals salts balance out the organic acids which converts these into a more water soluble and bioavailable form. Thus the medicine of this particular kind of tincture is considered a more whole preparation of the medicine.

the story:
Ginseng has been regarded as both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. In this potion, we have a combination of both American and Chinese Ginseng for simultaneous stimulation and nourishment. In China, Ginseng is known and revered for stimulating the mind and promoting longevity by way of their antioxidant potential. The polysaccharides in both Ginsengs contribute to the anti-fatigue effects of this medicine. Along with the effects on the body, it has been found that they can reduce toxicity in the brain by increasing the enzymes that help in alcohol breakdown. Targeting the nervous system, they simultaneously decrease stress and boost mood and energy levels. This spagyric functions to harmonize and acclimate the adrenals and hormones, while toning the blood and organs. The calcinated salts of this medicine lends its energy for a strong mineral-rich supplement that can be taken regularly as a maintenance tool. The adaptogenic qualities are exalted and motivation is fortified. This Jupiter spagyric enhances physical activity from exercise to erotic delights, and with the extracting of its essence in this form, we also have a tincture that is bound to target all of the major organ systems and restore the body from the inside out. In Hoodoo, this is a charm of virility known to strengthen fertility, while also deepening the intimacy between people. A formula empowered with the Jupiterian signature and charged during pivotal transits, the magick of this Ginseng spagyric gives our entire being much needed glow and revitalization.
about the planetary association:
Jupiter’s healing signature comes through the promotion of growth in spiritual and material energies. Interestingly enough, Jupiter plants teach us moderation through making us aware of how overindulgence impacts our health and livelihood. Jovian herbs are generally pleasant in odor and taste, as is Ginseng.

the story:
Comes in 2 oz. bottles only. Intended to be used as a 21-day cleanse. Made with bitter and cool herbs, this is a formula that should be administered as indicated to avoid an imbalance in the cold body humor. Skullcap (Mercury) and Barberry Root (Mars) are two medicines potent for cleansing the body of virus, fungus, and bacteria. Skullcap is generally considered a mild nervine with the power to affect the brain and nervous system, bringing calmness and relief to tense and pained areas of the body and mind. Further applications call Skullcap forth to even treat gut and lung infections, so their power comes in handy as a full body remedy. Antioxidant compounds are found in the flower portions of this, rendering it useful as a regenerative ally who can reverse disease and serve and a neurotonic. Combined with Barberry Root, Skullcap’s bitter qualities are exalted and thus detoxification in the body can be assured. Barberry Root, Berberis vulgaris, is very closely related to Oregon Grape, and they have similar qualities. Barberry contains vitamin C which increases the immune function of this plant. Moreover, taking into account the cold bitter principles, one can see how this ally is also effective for fevers and other inflammatory conditions. The berberine (alkaloid compound) in Barberry has also shown to be effective at killing a vast variety of germs, among them parasites, bacteria, and fungus. Eczema, psoriasis, boils, and even herpes can be treated with this tincture, also. Tonic bitters, as noted by TCM, have the capacity to clear the yang, so they can be drying and clearing, so it is wise to drink a lot of water in the process of cleansing with these. Considering magickal applications, this is a tincture that can just as readily cleanse your life of parasitic and draining energies that come in the form of habits, thought patterns, lifestyle, and people. Ultimately, this enables you to make space for more of your truth, unbound and unchained by disease or sickness. Please note: this tincture is not to be taken while taking the Cellular Repair Tincture. It can be taken 10 days before the beginning of the Cellular Repair cleanse, though it is not necessary to use both of these to get a thorough detox.
about the planetary association:
Skullcap is an herb that can be considered either Jupiterian due to its nature of magnetic expansion, or Mercurial because of their ability to bring relaxation to the mind all the while promoting an ease in the cognitive processes. Barberry’s Martian capacity is in the ability to cleanse the blood, while also being connected to Jupiter by way of their effect on the digestive system and other major cleansing functions. Combining herbs of Jupiter, Mercury, and Mars lends us with an enhanced power of manifestation and ease in our teaching abilities.
ingredients:
skullcap leaves, barberry root, gluten-free alcohol, spring water
invitations for use:
We recommend taking 1 teaspoon, 3 times a day. The first time (in a day) should be before the first meal of the day, and then after that, it should be taken after meals. This should be done consecutively for 21 days for a thorough cleanse. Shake well before use. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

uses:

the story:
Comes in 2 oz. bottles only. Intended to be used as a 21-day cleanse. A nutrient-dense and mineral-rich tincture, the Cellular Repair Tincture is effective for restoring the whole body by way of eliminating old, useless information floating around. Targeting the liver, stomach, kidneys, spleen, and colon, this is a thorough herbal remedy that is guaranteed to leave you feeling refreshed and renewed, more in tune with your natural self. Alfalfa leaves and roots contain almost all known vitamins and minerals in trace amount. They are especially rich in iron, phosphorus, calcium, potassium, magnesium, and vitamins A, D, E, B, C, K, P, and U. The secret of Alfalfa is in the fact that the roots grow as long as 100 feet along the earth, allowing them to absorb more minerals. Ultimately, Alfalfa makes a great vitamin and mineral supplement that is only enhanced when combined with Dandelion. The root of Dandelion is one of the best herbs for clearing a congested liver, spleen, or gallbladder. Taraxacum officinale (Dandelion) is exceptionally nutritious while also helping to normalize the acid level of the body because they have the same acid/alkaline balance as the human body. This ally helps to remove excess mucus, while it also strengthens the bones and adds firmness to the general structure of organs in cases of flaccidity or prolapse. The combination of Alfalfa, Barberry, and Dandelion offers support for cleansing functions and possess great antioxidant potential, making them useful for specifically cellular matters. In healing these major bodily systems, they promote longevity and rejuvenation. Please note: this tincture is not to be taken while taking the Anti Tincture. It can be taken 10 days after the completion of the Anti Tincture cleanse, though it is not necessary to use both of these to get a thorough detox.
about the planetary association:
Herbs of Mars sometimes have a strong acrid taste, as is the energy of Barberry - these are typical medicines that deal with transformation of information/energy in the body. Jupiter plants affect energy levels and aid in metabolic processes, such as Dandelion root. Alfalfa engenders wealth and nutrition, a key signature of a Solar force. Together, these allies counteract apathy and counter/anti-productiveness.

the story:
In a lot of ways The Fool, as The Aspirant, is a baby - still in utero, even, incubating and awaiting the perfect moment for emerging into this world. The Aspirant is on their quest for self-knowledge, and by the time they reach Key 22: The Initiate, they have acquired a great deal of experience and moved into a certain level of mastery. Key 0 appears to open into a complex path when we consider the potential and possibilities, but this signature, by virtue of its 0 vibration and other elements, is one that affords us an emptiness within which to learn, grow, and create. The Aspirant is the key for those who are both student and teacher, who keep trust and wonder alive, able to make graceful contact with the simple wisdom of each moment. This key is formulated with herbs that stimulate intuition while simultaneously awakening artistic abilities — these sorts of medicines are perfect for the journey of The Aspirant, otherwise known as The Fool, for they provide clear vision and the skill needed to manifest it. There are several imbalances indicated as necessitating a dose of this medicine: unclear/foglike perception and perspective, coldness, hyperactivity, restlessness, and distrust, for instance. Schizandra is one the main guiding accomplices in this formula — being considered the ‘five flavors berry’ and working within the body to target the main energetic meridians, this one enables a recalibration of the entire energetic system, promoting the ‘reset’ reminiscent of the space one finds themselves in with this key. Schizandra is particularly suited as a tonic known for aiding one in adapting to stressful situations and ever-changing circumstances that one encounters within this journey. Reishi mushroom is another which is revered for their qualities of support and rejuvenation. Monks and those of the priest collective have regarded this one to be ideal for elevating the spiritual essence and activating mental focus and discipline. Because The Aspirant has quite a journey ahead of them, herbs like Reishi and Schizandra can bring relief from fatigue, all the while providing a wide array of healing benefits. Moringa is added to further the power of endurance and resilience that this tincture carries within it. Moringa is loaded with nutrients — from Vitamin A, C, E to Potassium, Magnesium, and other keys minerals. Moringa is one that brings nourishment into the body, making them a vital accomplice in any voyage of development, spiritual, emotional, mental, and/or physical. This plant is a great source of antioxidants, helping to fight free radicals caused by oxidative stress. The combination of Reishi, Schizandra, and Moringa is promising in its protective powers, and thus give us a solid combination of the type of reinforcement that The Fool needs on their journey. To bring in the receptivity and mental balance needed by this key to ensure a result contrary to folly and failure, Oatstraw and Maypop are included for their capacity to nourish the nervous system while also bringing calm to cognitive processes, allowing us to make clearer connections and direct and true conclusions. These allies, in combination, offer us a thorough concoction to take as we aspire to be more fully in tune with ourselves and further share of the wealth contained within. Key 0 is a tool for harmonizing and realizing.

schizandra berries, oatstraw, moringa leaves, maypop leaves and flowers, reishi mushroom, gluten-free alcohol, organic honey, essences of rose flowers,

the story:
Associated with the energetic signature of Mercury, Key 1 is a talisman of healing and for the adept in mind. With The Magician we are able to impact the world with a concentration of our individual will and power. Mercurial as they are, The Magician is the power of consciousness applied. This is the path of visions and magick, where we can develop seership qualities while helping us attain our intentions, wishes, and dreams. The true magician is an alchemist who can transform their life in a multitude of ways and activate change through mastery of the four elements of air, water, fire, and earth. Earth is contained in this formula by way of the herbs used — water is afforded through the menstruum used to extract the medicine within the plants, and the air and fire elements come forward through the qualities that the herbs used here offer us. Caraway is in the same family as others like Dill and Anise, and like others of this family, Caraway possesses a strong quality for strengthening the digestive system and moving stagnancy and coldness out of that area. Directly, this impacts the quality of how information is processed throughout the body, thus clearer connections are readily made. Caraway and other such aromatic herbs like Lavender and Sage have a direct impact upon the mental and psychological processes — they ease both receptivity and lucidity. Gentian root is another one that targets digestive function, and, with their strongly bitter quality, they aid in activating liver function which is an ideal work to further cleanse the body of toxins and fortify the aura for enhancing our magickal workings. Considering this key’s resonance with 1, it is useful to include these herbs which ultimately are targeting the solar plexus, the Sun (one) center within the body (along with the crown, which usage of Key 1’s formula activates). Furthermore, Lavender, Sage, Skullcap, and Hibiscus are very particular for balancing brain activity. Lavender is particularly relaxing to the senses, which can come in handy when one is overstimulated and may thus be experiencing a clouding of the thoughts. Combined with allies such as Sage and Skullcap, here is a strong synergy for mellowing vibrations and allowing a greater attunement to awareness through sensory experiences. Sage is specific for instilling a sense of wisdom and enlightenment, and with Skullcap, this is further pronounced as soothing to the nervous system while serving as anti-inflammatory throughout the body — ensuring that nerve signaling and connections can happen with more ease. Imbalances that respond well to key 1 include failure to recognize ability, blocked vision, restlessness, imbalanced emotions, and/or fear of taking on certain opportunities due to insecurity. Key 1 is a formula made to activate not only transparency within perception, perspective, and other cognitive and mental processes, but also meant to accentuate our capacity to co-create with the tools provided and gathered. As such, this is a great key to work with when one is diving into deeper and/or new study, so as to sharpen the mind. The Magician is an entity who recognizes the power in aligning themselves with the movement of the stars and the seasons of the Earth — often, The Magician is depicted with on hand pointing upward and the other pointing downward, suggesting “as above, so below”, so Key 1 is the remedy for those who can command with equilibrium.

FINAL FORMULA. THE MOST POTENT RENDITION. Representing the mysterious unconscious, The High Priestess is a fertile ground for creative impressions to take seed and incubate. Connected to the Moon, The High Priestess represents potential awaiting the active principle capable of bringing it to full expression (this is the graduation between The High Priestess, The Empress, and The Emperor). The High Priestess is a balancing force for The Magician’s creative impulse. She reminds us of the work yet to be done internally before venturing into a more explicit communication. Working with this key calls for a level of silence in the movement as the indications of this energy compel us to communicate with the sources within. Still dealing with the intellect, the 2 vibration is one that reflects a kind of “binary”, but truly it is the reflection of unity and the ability to perceive things visible and invisible. The High Priestess is a scientist in that this being is a knowing entity. The plants used here bring forward the disposition of intentional silence and fluid attunement to divine wisdom. Valerian helps instill beta brain waves which can help to reduce anxiety, alleviate stress and depression, all the while relieving chronic pain and even increasing athletic performance. Valerian has a steadying energy about them that can help us move between worlds as the High Priestess’s key is meant to. The combination of Valerian and Romerillo is effective as both an activator of intuition and a catalyst for lucidity. The High Priestess, existing in the realm where true knowledge is made evident and the true power of faith gives birth to the light within, is one whose key is for revelation and guiding. This is the path of masters coming and going upon the earth, simultaneously receiving and shedding illumination. Furthering the work with this one, they can help us commune with ancestral timelines to help us interpret and enact overdue healing. Like the lunar signature that governs this key, this root and flower medley activates memory and helps us to assess, process, and even tell our stories. Furthermore, this fortifies fluidity and simultaneous concentration of our forces and stamina. The journey of The High Priestess is one that can enhance our own awareness of self through allowing repose of the mind and recovery of precision and discernment. By allowing a tempering of the fires of current times with a dose of lunar chill, we can afford ourselves a great, needed, and deserved exaltation of the potential contained in our incubations.

the story:
Being symbolized by the door, Key 3 is one of fertility which opens doors into the material from the immaterial realm. With Key 3, we ground the visioning and dream work done within Key 2 - we give form to what we have seen and deemed worthy of reproducing. With The Empress, we walk upon a path of creative power and learn the importance of the principles of evolution and birth. The Empress is the companion of birth workers and shapeshifters, helping us as we facilitate the crossing of thresholds and the conversion to forms only previously imagined. Through this voyage, we receive revelation of the hidden talents and all the potential we can birth. This is where the abundance of Key 3 becomes pronounced, and the herbs combined to formulate it speak further to the prosperity we encounter in this harmonic fellowship. Roses and Lady’s Mantle are particular for these matters as both are members of the Rose family. Being members of the Rose family and knowing the simultaneously sweetness and danger (plenty of them have thorns) of these allies, Key 3 shows us the expression of balanced feminine. There is something so infinite about the creative potential of the unbegotten that is expressed as an ingenious force, capable of manifesting in so many forms, ways, and varieties. Roses are ideal for Empress work as they help exalt beauty and bring harmony into the heart, creating an effortless rhythm in simultaneously inventing and commanding our world. Roses and Lady’s Mantle both have an affinity for treating reproductive concerns and have been found to be moreover useful in toning those organs — this furthers their effectiveness for securing a healthy and balanced portal through which to nurture and birth seeds. Alongside Schizandra berries, Roses and Lady’s Mantle also express their energetics more harmoniously as Schizandra offers a lubrication to those organs after the astringent work of the other two promotes a drying of discharges and dampness causing issues such as inflammations, heat, and otherwise irritation. Schizandra is also particularly revered by the Emperors and royal people in ancient China, as they have been touted to preserve youth and thus ensure longevity. Furthering the somatic and sensual aspects of the grounding we experience through Key 3, Damiana is one well-known for boosting hormonal equilibrium while also improving libido and stimulating the sexual organs — this compliments and enhances some of the powers that Schizandra and others, like Blue Lotus, have. Damiana, also like Blue Lotus, is considered a love remedy. In ritual use, they are prepared as aphrodisiac to increase the magnetism between lovers. Blue Lotus has also been regarded and used for similar intentions. An ally of the Temple Priestess, Blue Lotus activates and electrifies the sexual charge, giving it more direction, allowing it to be used in whatever way the adept desires. With this sexual energy, one can make love or one can make a painting. Either way, these allies promote within us the capacity to create that which can transcend the present, encapsulate the past, and inform the future. With this formula, the timelines merge into a stream we can tap into for inspiration and guidance. The Empress is lover, mother, educator, creator, and so much more— this being is fiercely sovereign, also going beyond what can be named. Topping it off with Hibiscus, this is a formula that moves the Shakti and uncoils latent energy. Hibiscus, Roses, and Lotus flowers have long been combined in a traditional infusion that is often found in tantric and puja ceremonies. Hibiscus is said to help strengthen the quality and focus of our mantras and is considered sacred to Ma Durga, the force that is said to defend the world from threats to our coming peace and prosperity. Key 3 microcosmically invokes several types of consciousness through activating certain brain wave states. The rose is central, symbolizing the heart and love. Hibiscus provides support as the ultimate shakti and occult powers residing in the dark red hue of the feminine power substances. Lotus, Damiana, and Schizandra come to grant us enlightenment. This formula is an invocation for elevating communion with the Christ Child within — The Empress is lover, mother, educator, creator, child, and so much more. A dose of this Key opens a door that promises us restoration and ascension through the arousal of sensibility.

the story:
Whatever has been accumulating, pooling, and stagnating gets purged by the fire of this key. This key is one that reveals to us both our height and our depth on a spiritual level, reopening our eyes to who we truly are. The personal myths, which may no longer apply to us after this, get destroyed in the process of the purge, but with this comes the revealing of our true skin so to speak. Like the serpent which symbolizes this key, Strength brings us transformations that propel us to outgrow the old and be born into the ‘‘new’ and true. Like the lion also representing this arcanum, we are reminded of our inner sun and the uniqueness of our soul — this encourages and strengthens our will. Opening the door with Key 8, we overcome indecision and spiritual and material barriers. Nettle is an herb that instructs us on how the material can be affected by the spiritual and vice versa. Nettle is an accomplice who defends on different levels — in the body, they cleanse out toxins, move the blood, and nourish the system. Still on a physical/material level, they are considered to be related to the Mars energy because the thorns on the Stinging Nettle, in particular, provide a shielding and defensive sort of energy — here we see the evidence of a bridge between material and immaterial; Nettle protects themselves as they protect us and our bodies. They are also related to Mars because of their capacity to help with blood circulation, another Martian concern. Aiding the work within the blood, Hawthorn brings us into the heart as a herb well-known for their ability to heal and tone the heart. Hawthorn is regarded as one of the safest cardio-tonics. Hawthorn also has a particular nourishing quality that comes forth in their way of dispelling anxieties, nervousness, and other tension. In a nurturing way, they soothe and quiet discomfort. Hawthorn is also a member of the Rose family, possessing tannins that serve as a combination of both fire and air energy to alleviate any water imbalances such as discharges and other dampness. Interestingly enough, they can cool when hot while bringing heat and motion when cold or frigid. Astragalus root and Motherwort leaf support the tincture as another expression of nurturing because it is in this kind of softness that we find our greatest strengths. Astragalus root and Motherwort leaf always feel like they are reaffirming that things are going to be alright while encouraging to grow beyond comfort zones and self-imposed limitations. Astragalus lends a soft sweet flavor to this key, speaking of the way this tonic can lift our innerstanding through elevating our senses. Astragalus is ideal for people who are very physically active as they promote the endurance to complete tasks and maintain optimal performance. With Motherwort and Hawthorn, the heart healing properties of Astragalus come to the forefront. This is a recommended combination for people who experience burnout, indecision, or have a hard time with responsibilities. Key 8 is also ideal for those who are seeking to process emotions such as anger, frustration, or irritation. Milk thistle seeds are particular for both liver and brain function. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the liver is said to be the organ which can readily store anger. Bringing Milk thistle seeds into the work, Key 8 can help us discharge karma associated with those sorts of energies. Between the vibration of the number 8 which speaks to the energy of the planet Saturn and the herbs used in formula, Key 8 promises us an increase of will, strength, courage, and self-reliance through self-assuredness and with time.

the story:
In tarot, Temperance is read as a card about moderation, balance, patience, synthesis of elements. There are of course more interpretations and, depending on if other cards are pulled in a reading, the signification of arcanum 14 can take on a myriad of meanings. Fundamentally, Temperance represents one with the capacity to dwell in two worlds at once — it suggests liminality and groundedness all at the same time, so while this card signifies a certain equilibrium, it also insinuates the way we are called to task in our endeavors and are required to assume responsibility in what we commit to. Temperance is moderation and thoroughness, patience and consistency, balance and discernment. This card follows Key 13: Death in the procession of the tarot which moreover gives us a hint that what we are alchemizing in Key 14 is the lessons life has taught us and the fertile ground death has afforded us. Temperance teaches us that death brings a certain humility illuminating of the ways we may have abused resources and even our gifts. Etymologically, to “temper” means “to bring to a proper or suitable state” and also “to mix correctly” — herein lie the alchemical overtones of this key. With Temperance, we are given a chance to try again but with more mindfulness, to be wise in our combinations for crafting healing remedies whether with our thoughts, words, actions, or creations. All this considered, the herbs used in this tincture bring forward a harmonic disposition, being especially nourishing to the nervous system following any moment of death, change, transformation, sudden upgrades. Holy basil aka Tulsi is the primary plant in this formula serving as a tonic for mind, heart, and full body. In Ayurvedic tradition, Holy basil is regarded as a transformative herb which can help us adjust to the rhythms of life’s ebb and flow. Tulsi is also protective of the heart, lowering blood pressure and easing us into calm — this is deeply reminiscent of the overall energetic signature of Key 14. Like most aromatics, this herbal accomplice can aid digestion, uplift our spirits, and clarify our psychoemotional aspects. Skullcap accentuates all of this. Another mint family plant, Skullcap is also a nervous system tonic and strengthener, helping to instill a sense of serenity and also being helpful to those who experience insomnia, anxiety, and the like. Skullcap has documented use in the treatment of epilepsy and other seizure-inducing conditions. The combination of Tulsi and Skullcap has also proven effective in reducing feelings of withdrawal from addiction to substances and even repetitive habits. The tempering quality of these is effective for brain health. Catnip is the other mint family plant here. In magickal traditions, Nepeta (Catnip) is employed for love magick, to bring peace into the home, and to help in conflict resolution within families — all of these uses being reflective of the otherwise physical healing medicine of this plant who has a balancing force. Like other mint family plants, Catnip also benefits the digestive system, the heart, and the immune system. Marshmallow root decoction furthermore exalts the tempering qualities of the tincture by soothing our internal processes, decreasing irritations, inflammations, and aggravations. Ashwaghanda is another one used in Ayurvedic tradition for yoga and meditation because they ease mental processes and calibrate our thinking into coherence. Further applications of this root lend themselves well as aphrodisiac which when paired with Rose and Orange peel is moreover enhanced. The sexual stamina intensifying property may seem counterintuitive in the process of Temperance, but our sexual energy is essential to the creative expression inherent in alchemical workings. All of these plants have more uses than can be enumerated here, but they essentially bring calm, promote creativity by increasing sexual energies, and also promote clear and truth-based decision making — all expressions of the codes in Key 14.

holy basil (tulsi), skullcap leaves, ashwaghanda root, roses, catnip, orange peel, marshmallow root decoction, gluten-free alcohol, essence of datura flowers

the story:
The Star corresponds to the zodiac sign Aquarius and is a key of faith, inspiration, wisdom, and creative insight. With The Star, we learn how to use our energies to manifest our dreams. Within this path, we find the release of energies that force us to examine and deal with the higher aspects of sexuality, and thus enables us to come into contact with incredible creative power. With Key 17, inventive solutions to age-old problems are swiftly revealed. Like the Eagle which symbolizes this formula, our view is heightened to a wider vantage point and we are offered great spiritual inspiration directly from the stars. Key 17 is ideal for astrologers or those seeking to become more acquainted with this science and art of the stellar forces. Because of the renewal contained within this card, after journeying through the preceding Key 16, here we are stimulated to experiment with new ideas and inventions and we may find ourselves seeking community to reinforce whatever healing process is present. Hawthorn, Holy Basil, Ginger root combine in warmth to help quell some of the weaknesses that can show up as the adverse presentation of The Star. Holy Basil, a nutrient-dense plant, is considered a sacred one. Containing a rich blend of certain essential oils, they are found to be effective in alleviating respiratory issues, heart issues, and even acne. With Ginger root, they are useful for alleviating headaches due to sinus pressure or high blood pressure — this is even more so the case when all three, Hawthorn, Holy Basil, and Ginger are combined. Furthermore, in healing the upper parts of the body, Key 17 ensures that our crown and 3rd eye are clear to receive the insight, vision, and wisdom offered in this path. Eleuthero is otherwise known as Siberian Ginseng and, like other Ginsengs, has the capacity to increase vitality while decreasing fatigue and mental strain. Eleuthero boosts energy levels by its impact on the nervous system and ensuring grace in movement of the blood. This increase in blood flow tends to be particular for healing cognitive and neurological disorders — Eleuthero helps to stave off free radicals that build up in the brain, keeping neural pathways clear while increasing memory and focus. This is perfect for the adventure with Key 17. The energetic imbalances which respond well to this formula include fear of following dreams, self-doubt, lust, or idleness. Skullcap is one very specific for targeting those disharmonies by promoting calm and instilling a greater will to innerstand — just with their unwinding energy, they provide us with the stillness needed to reach to the higher aspirations within heart and mind. Angelica (Angelica archangelica), the more deeply medicinal version of Dong Quai (Angelica sinensis), is particular for the reproductive system in its healing power. Angelica is blood stimulating, helping to move energy into the pelvic region and bringing about menstruation in people whose cycle is delayed or disturbed. This ally, perfect as the representative plant for Key 17, helps to open the mind and imagination and for this reason has been used in traditional sweat lodge ceremonies. Hoodoos have prescribed the carrying of Angelica root alongside the Fiery Wall of Protection oil to women seeking protection from violent ex-lovers. Truly this formula is made of herbs that offer all of the vibrational support required for The Star’s path of creativity, independence, and evolution.

the story:
The Hebrew letter Resh corresponds to The Sun card. Resh means head, and in this part of the tarot, it indicates the face as opposed to the back of the head — thus, Key 19 is directly connected to recognition and other forms of enlightenment. Moreover, the correspondence between The Sun and the head speaks to this card’s association with the beginning of things — we even see this represented in the numerical resonance of 19 being ‘reduced’ to 1, but even more so when seeing 1 and 9 separately, we see two entities holistic in their own right and thus capable of both being 1, all the same. Key 19 enlightens us by giving us direct and clear signaling; Like the facial expressions which can reveal so much about those we are communicating with, including self, Key 19 offers us distinct and perceivable indications of what we are creating, encountering, and experiencing. With The Sun, we find light within the dark and our vision opens in all environments of our potentials. In pathworking, The Sun card is used to open doors to the ancient lodges and mystery schools with all of their magickal and ritual tools and techniques. The sparrowhawk, an ancient solar symbol, is a bird of prey which can teach us a lot about the control and speed by which opportunities can be seized. The plants used to formulate this key are as bright and brightening as The Sun which governs it. Chamomile and Goldenrod flowers, showing a clear connection to the sun with their yellow appearance, are distinct in their work within the sinuses and the upper respiratory tract, helping to clear any congestion that could be occluding the visions and obstructing perception. Chamomile also treats the stomach and helps to clear it of any stagnation — the stomach is another solar portal within the body. Goldenrod is an ally used for the upper body but also for the middle and lower body. Goldenrod has been used for everything from treating joint pain to addressing UTIs and kidney and bladder infections. Working within the water meridians of the body, Goldenrod stabilizes the water in the body. Furthermore, in targeting and treating the organ meridian (kidneys/bladder) which connects to reproduction, Goldenrod proves supportive for creatives who draw from those reserves and their Jing essence. Moringa is one that brightens both the Jing and the Chi, serving as a medicine to reverse the effects of time and experience on the body and spirit. Moringa is particularly nutrient-dense, so they assist the energizing of the body to match the level of physical vitality that Key 19 simultaneously calls for and promises. Gotu kola and Ginger root both boost circulation of blood to the brain, so they are true aids in this excursion into light. Allies like Ginger and Star Anise are paired to provide antifungal and antiparasitic support, ensuring that the initiatives we move forward in with Key 19 do not meet inactivity or interruption from parasitic entities. When fears of failure or even ego-centricism threaten your progress, Key 19 resounds as preventative and curative measure. The Sun, in all its brilliance, promises us much alignment with our own inner prophecies and inspiration through insight into alchemical transformation.

the story:
Arriving at Key 21 might trigger deep sighing signifying a sense of relief. A soul journey in its own right, the movement through the 22 major secrets of the tarot is arduous and, for some, long, but once you have arrived at the 21st secret, you are granted the key which opens the door to other possibilities — you are reminded that there are 4 (or 5) elements with which you can create the ten thousand things and are thus reminded that you have the power to reinvent your experience, perhaps with more innerstanding about who you really are and your purpose within a particular timespiral. The keynote of “graduation” is made evident through The World’s astrological connection to Saturn — Saturn is an energetic signature which deals with things that happen over a long period of time, so of course Key 21 is about evolution into the next level of our consciousness, experience, and existence. The plants used in the formula combine to form a full body tonic which comes in handy when moving into another layer of your experience in which you may require greater protection and strength. This is a nourishing and reinforcing remedy crafted with a Marshmallow root decoction; Marshmallow root is cooling, moistening, and is soothing to the gastrointestinal, respiratory, and urinary systems which helps to reduce inflammations and any resulting pains. Althaea (Marshmallow’s other name) is effective for all sorts of dryness: dry skin, dry throat, dry mouth, dry vagina, etc. This is especially important for those who experience an excess of Saturn energy in their natal chart and/or overall constitution, those who may be Vata dominant (according to Ayurveda). Oatstraw is another plant in the formula which can provide moisture and increase the waters of the body, promoting an overall flow state in our thought processes and the cleansing of our organs. The rich content of magnesium in Oatstraw is also useful for this and furthermore helps to relax cramping and tension in muscles. Between Marshmallow root and Oatstraw alone, we are gifted a supportive elixir for times of great transition. Spearmint and Cinnamon bark also come in handy for Saturnian matters and pair well with other plants such as Elderflowers and Elderberries to help combat viral conditions, illness, and dis-ease, providing antimicrobial assistance to our system. Spearmint is known to ward off fungi and bacteria, lending relief when one is experiencing things such as Candida, bacterial vaginosis, parasites, and other such conditions. A cleanser mint, they also prompt digestive release and relief, and when combined with Cinnamon can stimulate digestion further by enhancing production of bile. Both Spearmint and Cinnamon are used in magickal and healing practices to increase psychic and mental powers, so they offer us depth in perception and expansion of perspective. Nettles aids all of these processes with their blood tonic qualities — blood toning is useful for upgrading our genetic coding and facilitating spiritual evolution. Part of the spiritual uses of Nettle are for undoing evil works cast against us so that any deterrent in the process is removed and we can continue on our way. It has also been noted, through personal study, that dedicated work with Nettle can also catalyze creative action and solution. The aromatics in unison with Urtica (Nettle) inspire productivity and a progressive temperament. The Milkweed essence as a final touch in this one is symbolic of and conducive to the transformation inherent in Key 21. According to the Flower Essence Society, Milkweed essence “is used to raise the soul from a state of lethargy and regressive helplessness, to help it to incarnate and to wake up a pathologically withdrawing ego”. Furthermore, the essence can help us establish a healthy sense of self which, perhaps unsuspectingly, is a hallmark of the graduation and elevation occurring within this arcanum. Gracefully, we are moved into true self-awareness and self-responsibility, learning a very important lesson regarding the importance of shedding indoctrination and stepping more fully into personal truth as informed by universal law.

the story:
Despite its long history of use, Egyptian Blue Lotus is a flower shrouded in deep mystery yet they are powerfully medicinal. In the search, little monographic accounts of Egyptian Blue Lotus can be found, but evidence through personal and communal experience is quantifiable and of great quality. Nymphaea is one whose full body can be used resulting in an entity with true whole plant medicine potential. The flowers, the most commonly used part, are used in aromatherapy and as an otherwise stimulating agent. The aroma promotes a deep state of relaxation, creating a more receptive space within the person. The flowers also have oil compounds useful as pain-relief and have been said to possess anesthetic qualities, producing a somewhat numbing effect to enable things to pass without so much of a traumatic/stuck consequence. In this way, this flower is a potent remedy for depression and the moving of stagnant emotional energies. They are particularly useful as medicine for renewal, in all the senses of the word. Egyptian Blue Lotus Flowers also help to alleviate anxiety. Alkaloid compounds such as nuciferine are likely responsible for these effects - working as alkalizing, bitter agents in the body, they can serve as detoxifiers in the system. The leaves, also infused or even as a poultice in some cases, can be used to alleviate the pain of burns, thirst, hemorrhoids, and bleeding from internal organs. The leaf-stalk helps to increase lactation - this is an interesting contrast between two parts of the same whole. Here we see evidence of an ally essential to overall balance. In countries such as Thailand, seed extracts have been used to prepare skin remedies for dry and flaky skin and also to aid those displaying a recurrence of acne and pimples. Like the water element from which the emerge, Egyptian Blue Lotus is has moisturizing capacity. There seems to be a strong correspondence between this flower and the Sun and also Venus. They are perhaps a great ally for those with strong solar or Venusian energy in their natal chart; they could also prove to be soothing to the minds and hearts of those who have Moon, Mercury, Venus and/or the Sun in Leo, Libra, or Taurus. These astrological associations can vary, but we see this ally as promoting warmth, illumination, and beauty - Blue Lotus can even be added to conditioners for hair care as they are a great crown chakra tonic. By interacting with various receptors in the brain, Nymphaea promotes an elevated mood and overall spiritual quality. Nuciferine is said to play a major role in the effects of this plant - the interaction with receptors show a potential for EBL to address a variety of conditions including neuropathic pain, inflammation-related depression, and fibromyalgia. I had the honor of witnessing my aunt benefit greatly in reducing bodily aches, pains, and insomnia related to fibromyalgia with the use of EBL. Trials and research in this area have yet to be conducted, but this could change with the needs of the times. Evidence does show that they have not changed much in the past 160 million years, but have instead expanded their presence upon the face of the earth, keeping within the tropical and temperate regions. This is specifically an ally that shows up in places where the Sun is active and felt, saying plenty for the energy they can bring to us. Considering this, we can say that further applications can be for those born in the warmer months of the year but also those who were born in the winter and seek to be relieved of the coldness they may naturally possess. Even with what we know, there is much left to be learned about this ancient sacrament. The body of knowledge available via the scientific, alternative medicine, and other publications do not suffice to document or explicate the wisdom of this entity. Keep in mind that the water lily family, Nymphaeceae, is an old and ‘primitive’ family, so they carry information from time before even the existence of who we know as homosapiens. Egyptian Blue Lotus is an ally of many. Read the rest of the monograph here.

the story:
Mother Herb Elixir is a remedy whose name came from a nickname that a graduate of the apprenticeship has since referred to me by - she always calls me “Mother Herb”. For this reason, Motherwort is one of the primary ingredients. The word “Motherwort” literally means “Mother’s herb” as they are well-known to support women in the transition from labor into birth. Motherwort, also known as Leonurus cardiaca or the lion-hearted plant, is an ally of the heart, bringing calm and peace and also promoting confidence and resilience when needed. Accompanied by Nettle leaf, you can be sure that this elixir is one for nourishing the body through strengthening thyroid function and supplying us with essential nutrients and minerals. Nettle leaf, like Motherwort, has been said to also improve lactation, thus being ideal for mamas whose milk is low or even to add more nutritional content to the breastmilk. Nettle leaf, a diuretic, enhances the work of both the bladder and kidneys. Astragalus supports both of these allies by furthermore providing adaptogen qualities of stress-relief while reinforcing proper coping skills. Astragalus can also curb sugar cravings that are attributed to a lack of mothering or sweetness from a mother figure - in this light, they are ideal for preventing conditions such as diabetes. Schizandra berries and Dong quai are 2 allies frequently used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for all matters of the reproductive system, to ensure fluency and flexibility in those creative organs. Schizandra is also a berry of the Empresses and Emperors of ancient China, revered as a beauty tonic and purported to extend life. Dong quai aka Angelica sinensis, more of a tonic than their medicinal cousin Angelica archangelica, builds and tones the blood. With Red raspberry leaves, the womb strengthening and stimulating qualities of Dong quai are brought to the forefront. These allies help to purge sexual traumas and transmute our womb’s forces for a more vibrant oscillation within the sacral chakra system. Mugwort moreover strengthens our bodies’ intuitive centers as we sleep through the night. Another serious medicine of the kidneys and yin energies in the organism, Rehmannia was decocted over low heat for a number of hours. Rehmannia, a widely used ally in Traditional Chinese Medicine, is considered a life preserver, extending longevity by clarifying the Jing essence which can otherwise be depleted through experience and trauma. Such a compelling and dynamic formula would not be complete without a catalyst to inspire a movement deeper into each of the organ systems it works in. Orange peel as a stimulant mobilizes the entire elixir to work thoroughly in us, in whatever ways we need. Mother Herb Elixir, an extension of my heart’s desire and a response to my womb’s needs, is one shared with the trust that it will promote expansion beyond imagination, while helping us to evolve our inner visions.

the story:
Graviola, also known as Soursop, Guanabana, or Annona Muricata, is a plant rich in both history and medicinal value. Annona has been called “the miracle tree”. Native to tropical regions, this ally possesses an alkaloid compound that is neuro-stimulant and, when properly used, can promote proper cognitive function and serve as a Nootropic. Their most attested medicinal use has been for decreasing the growth rate of cancer and thus retarding cancerous cells. Graviola is a medicine used traditionally in the folk remedies of places such as the Dominican Republic (Kiskeya), and one that we are quite familiar with. Growing up, we frequented the countryside of Kiskeya and had the great honor of witnessing family elders whipping up Soursop juices and spoon-pressed ‘smoothies’, with an aunt always reminding us how we needed to keep taking this for a healthy heart and to attack “los parasitos”. They told us infections, viruses, and unwanted fungi could not live in the body of one who spent time in daily communion with this medicine. Further medicinal applications lend the energy of these wise ones for treating nervousness, hypertension, malaria, nausea, and even herpes. Soursop is also a uterine stimulant and should be used cautiously by those who are pregnant or attempting to become pregnant (read guidelines below). This formulation is made with just one plant to allow full integration of the energetic profile of an ally as potent and healing as this. Graviola Leaf Tincture is one of our ancestral offerings which we share in remembrance and gratitude of the lands that have healed and sustained us for ages. The plant used for this tincture was grown in our home yard and with the careful attention of our parents’ love - may you feel loved, healed, and made whole with each drop.

the story:
NOTE: this is an updated / new formulation as of 5/15/2022.
In Quisqueya, what is now known as the Dominican Republic and Haiti, there is an old remedy called Mamajuana that was first ingested by the Taino people in its alcohol-free form. The ingredients were mostly barks, leaves, and roots of trees sometimes mixed with certain animal parts or oils. Honey, rum, and some other menstruums were later added. The recipe is deeper than just throwing these things in a bottle. The name “Mamajuana” can also be said to be a reference to Mother Jane, who is the embodiment of natural elements which can be combined to form a healing symphony. Crafted with barks such as Palo Indio and Ozua, this medicine grounds and nurtures simultaneously. Spearmint, Chamomile, and Bay leaves add a lightness that offers clarity of mind through the work of cleansing the digestive tract and nourishing the nervous system, creating space for other forms of consciousness to take the forefront within us. Cloves, Aniseed, Cat’s Claw, and Palo de Maguei serve as incentive to this process, also expelling parasitic and vampiric energies from the body and, thus, the aura. Canelilla, Allspice, and Cinnamon, aromatics which awaken our senses, serve as catalytic to the memory and enable us to tune into ancient wisdom encoded within our DNA. Larimar is a blue stone, a pectolite (silicate hydrate made of calcium and sodium) which is found on the shores of the Kiskeyan island and was named after the daughter of the person who initially discovered this stone (Larissa) and the Spanish version of the word “sea” (Mar). This formula has been combined with an essence of Larimar to furthermore exalt the frequency of the island within this potion. It imbues the remedy with calming and soothing qualities; moreover, this essence helps us to connect with our wombs and the womb that has birthed the earthly landscapes we tread — the ocean. The final addition to this remedy is the essence of abalone shell which, as described by my friend Chanelle of Moon by Moon Apothecary, “connects us to the primordial place we all come from”. She also shares that “abalone helps us ebb, flow, & break with the waves. it has an affinity for the soft spots in us: tendon, tissue, smooth muscle, the guts, uterus, tongue: all things encased & protected by the bones of the body. especially for empathic & sensitive people, this essence helps us to protect the soft & vulnerable places within, shield them, build a beautiful & opalescent layer over our internal landscape”. Thus, Mama Drops is a complete tincture not only for attuning to ancestral spirits through communion with plants indigenous to a vast story, but also to provide a boost to all bodily processes and correct imbalances that are rooted in disharmonies of our organs. This is an invocation to Yemaya, the softness, the fullness, the sensitive, the deep, vast, and wide.

the story:
In Kabbalistic working, The Fool’s journey is the final path in the Tree of Life. While The Magician is the first instance of Divine Creation, The Fool is the first measure of the Divine Breath/the spirit force that gives life. The Fool signifies a portal of initiation into self in which the truth of our creative potential is made clear. Key 0 is the path of becoming “like a child again”, and it has been said that only they who are like children get to enter the Kingdom of Heaven - this is a perfect way of encapsulating The Fool’s journey from Chokmah to Kether, which is ultimately the Kingdom of Heaven. Interestingly enough, 0 is also the womb of creation so there is plenty of possibility. This tincture for Key 0 can thus be said to be an inner mother and inner child formula; it is also a Medicine of the Spirit. Formulated with Reishi mushroom as the main ingredient, this potion possesses deeply inspiring qualities. Reishi is a spiritual activator who incites a quieting of the mental chatter that can become detrimental on a journey such as the one of this key. This path is often considered the one walked by many of the wisdom teachers of high temples and monasteries, and Reishi is well-known as an ally for those devoted to the Spirit. Because The Fool is the one card of the major arcana where there is a great prospect, it is important to provide support for focusing the mental faculties while also releasing energies which may inhibit the fully trusting motions that propel this being. Allies such as Damiana, Lemon Balm, and Blue Vervain are added for these reasons. While they all aid in improving concentration and discipline, they each have actions that target varying centers of the psychoemotional and physical realms of self. Damiana has been used by the indigenous peoples of Mexico as an aphrodisiac. They have been used to treat depression, all the while healing the womb, strengthening fertility, and enhancing the sexual powers. Damiana is a guiding energy for grounding the airiness of The Fool by bringing awareness of our reproductive potential to manifest physical bodies. Moreover, with the support of Lemon Balm, Damiana’s digestive improvement offering is more pronounced. Cognitive function is intricately connected to digestive health, so Lemon Balm, also promoting concentration and even relief of ‘ADHD’ in children and adults alike, is an indispensable ally for this important journey. Blue Vervain further exalts all of this, while also loosening some of the rigidity that can be found on the other end of the spectrum; (Blue Vervain has been purported as a plant medicine effective for those with more of what they call a “type A personality”). All of these allies also correspond to the respiratory and cardiovascular system - the systems which deal very intimately with the air element in the body. Part of the capacity that they collectively have is that of deepening the breath, cleansing the digestive system, and, thus, promoting clarity. Soursop leaf and Ginger root serve as catalysts in the formula, moving the medicine directly into the mind and gut, respectively and simultaneously. Soursop directs the immune boosting power of Reishi, while Ginger acts as an activating fire brilliantly illuminating the path. Truly Key 0 is a potion that not only enables you to create any portal you need but also ensures the manifestation of our heart’s visions.

Identify the tools of your heart, mind, and Sol; Know how to use them. This is the prompt that the Magician beckons us to follow through with - to ground the will into the materialized realm. Crafted with 4 high vibrational plants, the Magician is bound to awaken within you a remembrance of the tools you innately possess that are suited to facilitate the process of self-realization so that you can enact your powers of manifestation using the tools you have uncovered.

Lavender is a powerful ally for helping us tune into deeper meditative states so that we may access information from the subconscious and subtle dimensions. It is a great flower used to help us relax, open our minds, and free ourselves from any mental restrictions and inhibitions. Combining this plant friend with Gentian and Hibiscus, the magick of the Magician is sure to be quickly activated within the lives of all those who work with this concoction.

the story:
The High Priestess holds the key to all the doors which follow the initial entry into True Self. With this Priestess as the guide upon this journey, we can rest assured that we will be moving with the truth. In tarot, the appearance of the High Priestess is one that signifies the need for entering into silent retreat for the purpose of extracting truths contained only within this space. Key II is crafted with the intention to enhance meditative states, while enabling a focus of mind that facilitates ceremonious activity and mundane ritual alike. Damiana, Skullcap, Valerian, and Kava Kava work synergistically to tone the nervous system, all the while heightening our psychic capacity. Damiana is particularly useful for sharpening our discipline and allowing us to move through cognitive tasks with less resistance; this powerful plant has also been known to treat digestive upsets and relax and stomach + intestinal muscles. Skullcap is an effective herb for those who tend to hold a lot of tension in the neck and shoulder area due to being very high-strung or overwhelmingly perfectionist in their ways. Valerian promotes rest and, combined with Kava Kava, fortifies our dreamtime - bringing more color to our vision and enabling greater dream recall; Kava Kava is also used ceremoniously in the Pacific Islands, as it is known to exalt energies of euphoria and bliss. The High Priestess is the Mother of the Indigo, whose acute perception and ability to engage all of her senses simultaneously provides a perfect template for this work of unlocking the inner doors.

the story:
In many ways, The Empress gave birth to The High Priestess, but their relationship is a reciprocal one, for the High Priestess provides this archetype with a springbroad from which to propel her visions. The Empress is the one who is about to give or has given birth. She is fertile ground for all that incubates within the mind. Crafted with a combination of plants exceptional for bringing these energies to the forefront, key III can alter the way we perceive wealth and how we can create it with the resources we already possess, inner and outer. Rose Petals, when distilled into pure essential oil form, is said to be the highest vibration essential oil when juxtaposed with a musical scale - this says plenty. Rose is one of various natural treasures that can work through every part of the body. This flower can do everything, ranging from instilling feelings of deep love and compassion to cleansing the liver of toxicity that has built up over time. Rose also heals the digestive system by supporting excretion and serving as a mild laxative. When we combine Rose with a flower such as Damiana, you can say that you’ve got a love potion. In Hoodoo tradition, Damiana is used to invoke passion and desire in our beloved - it is said to make one crazy for the beloved who wears, carries, or consumes this flower, in any form, regularly. On another, related, level, this yellow-flowering plant has been employed in use for strengthening the mind and aiding access to focus and discipline during cognitively demanding times. This may be attributed to the fact that Damiana, like Rose, has a very calming quality about - it may not put you to sleep, but it will definitely aid you in getting there if you take just enough. Schizandra is revered as a five-flavor berry whose flavors provide a harmonizing quality to the medicine it lends us. These berries are often used because they have strong adaptogenic propeties - meaning that they help us cope with and adapt to stressful situations. Schizandra is one of those that is so powerful, yet so gentle that they can be used by just about anybody. With the abundance of the flavor in this combination, it is not hard to see that prosperity is what you will access with the use of this key.

the story:
The Emperor’s power is afforded through their determination toward giving form to pure, spiritual potential. In most renditions of the tarot, The Emperor steadily holds a wand signifying one fully aware of and in communication with their divine qualities and the talents that make them outstanding - with such innerstanding, The Emperor commands and deliberates through their empire. Key 4 is formulated with 4 herbals found throughout various parts of North America and well-known to rootworkers, healers, and the “granny women” of the Sea Islands. Hawthorn, Goldenrod, Horehound, and Chamomile show up as allies ready to enable our 3rd eye center (upper respiratory system, pineal and pituitary glands, etc) to connect with our heart space and further activate our will through the solar plexus, all the while fortifying our manifesting/reproductive organs. The Emperor is a potion for grounding our knowings and truths into practical experience with proper order. Chamomile relaxes and soothes; during times of menstrual discomfort, this is an ally we can rely on. When our breathing is compromised by mucus and tightened airways, Chamomile opens us up again. This plant medicine, combined with Horehound and Goldenrod, provides a sort of brightening effect for our inner sight through clarifying and purging what is obstructing the vision. Goldenrod equally works upon the kidney and lung meridians to help treat the waterways of the body - furthermore, providing an ally in times of grief, even. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the lungs is where we store grief and emotions such as those that cause tears and increase the waters and salt within our system. In the same tradition, the kidneys are said to house the Jing essence that we inherit from our ancestors, and Goldenrod can aid us in tuning into the gifts we have inherited, all the while promoting transmutation of the ancestral traumas that we are simultaneously uncovering - this can only make our empire more strongly-founded. Horehound and Hawthorn come together well for toning both heart and lungs; Horehound with a particular affinity for the lungs while also serving as a vasodilator - opening the blood vessels, contributing to the work that Hawthorn naturally does to tone the heart. All of these herbs are also greatly supportive of digestion through the bitter actions of promoting purging and secretions (also targeting the hormones to balance) and aiding in the release of microorganisms that feed off our livelihood. Key 4 is a formula of cleansing and activation, the perfect energetics to empower an Emperor’s flow.

the story:
“If The Hierophant should appear in the prophetic signs of thy horoscope, retire into the sanctuary of thy heart, listen to the voice of the silence, and guided by it thou wilt reach the goal of thy aspirations.” The Hierophant is a signifier of the inner guide who abides by natural law and thus ordains their world into proper order through attunement to the ancient knowledge afforded in traditional reverence. Some of the herbal allies employed in the formulation of this key include Astragalus, Reishi Mushroom, and Schizandra - 3 of the medicinal treasures often used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for their supreme affinity to the spiritual matters of living. Reishi and Schizandra, specifically, were both used by Royalty as tonics particular for enhancing the potential of immortality. Being the 5 flavor berry, Schizandra targets the major organ meridians of the spleen/stomach, lung/large intestines, kidney/bladder, liver/gallbladder, and the heart/small intestines. It is no wonder Schizandra is considered a youth preserver and beautifier - their powers are thorough. Reishi exalts the qualities of Schizandra by doubling on the tonic qualities while also promoting immune function and protecting the cells from degradation. This mushroom also possess powerful antioxidant qualities which aid in cleansing the body of information that could be toxic if not addressed with enough time. Furthering the abundance of these allies, Astragalus is known to strengthen the primary energy, causing us to be stronger in our bodies and thus our own intelligence - a trademark of the Hierophant’s signature. Astragalus, along with Muira Puama, are also blood tonics which help to regulate fluid metabolism - those who consume them regularly are said to rarely suffer from fluid retention and bloating. Several of the allies here provide adaptogenic nourishment to the nervous system, adding to the grace of its ability and our resistance of stress-induced illness. Topped off with Egyptian Blue Lotus, you have a potion that is simultaneously cleansing, nourishing, relaxing, and activating. Key 5 is an agent for catalyzing access to internal codes of wisdom.

the story:
This love potion comes together containing herbals who are widely used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The story of the remedies is ancient and has evolved with the people. Ginseng is regarded as a longevity tonic known to increase wisdom, thus calming the spirit through promoting true knowing and health. Ginseng has been called the King of Herbs and has maintained a reputation as supreme healer for over 2,000 years due to their ability to restore lost qi to the organs of the body. Buddhists and Taoists alike have regarded Ginseng as an ally to help speed spiritual progress while increasing awareness of one’s path. Combined with an ally such as Goji berry aka Matrimony vine fruit, we have a medicine that helps to restore sexual vitality while also serving as a potential stimulant for the nervous system, aiding in transmuting depressive energies. Goji berries also are healing (as Ginseng) for diabetic concerns. Rose and Hawthorn come together as the apparent heart components of the formula but also possess the quality of enhancing digestion, so they work within both the heart and solar plexus, connecting what we feel with what we do - this highlights a major aspect of the 6th key which speaks to us about making a decision that leads to greater satisfaction for those involved in this process of loving. The digestive system is our center of processing information in a way that enables the rest of our body to properly utilize what we have received - this is a major advance for The Lovers. Ultimately, journeying with this potion will bring to us more of the true love we are and enable us to move with discernment and clarity.

the story:
Key 7 implies movement, and the wheels turn internally before the external motions are set into play. With The Chariot, victory is afforded through the mind being supported by the heart, thus here is crafted a formula that can fortify cognition all the while promoting blood health through the cleansing of toxins. Chinese Parsley has been used to treat conditions such as high blood pressure and other inflammatory manifestations. Rich in antioxidants, this ally has been effective at preventing disease, such as lung disease - another factor addressed through the heart chakra/lung meridian. High in essential nutrients, this is a remedy for preventing illness by boosting immunity. Gotu Kola furthers this power with their ability to serve as a nervine tonic and alleviate stress, nervousness, and disturbed emotions. This quality as a spirit medicine is even evidenced in their promotion of the clarity required to have a quality yoga and meditation experience. The nervine qualities are exalted by Water Hyssop (aka Bacopa or Brahmi) and Skullcap. Bacopa provides neurological support as a nootropic capable of restoring brain function and even aiding recovery from brain damage. Skullcap also strengthens the brain, and works into the reproductive system, easing premenstrual tension and aches associated with cyclical matters. Similarly to Gotu Kola, they are called forth as affirmative in meditative work - an important aspect of journeying through Key 7. Chaga enhances this as one that catalyzes the function of our pineal gland through their content of melanin - the illumination of the Sphinx is made possible through a journey inward which gives us access to more of what we are truthfully calling forth. That wisdom becomes clear with this key - our victory is the result of intentional application of mental and physical powers.

the story:
Once we reach the part of the journey where Sekhmet and the Lion greets us with a pleasant smile and the whispers of what growth sounds like, we can be sure that we have reached a higher plateau and have recently undergone a graduation, or initiation, of sorts. Strength appears to us when we need that boost in encouragement for what is left of our journey. This card usually indicates that we are still learning how to apply the lessons for actual transformation. Here we are becoming further educated on the elements of alchemy. Reishi and Chaga come through as mycelial support in an intricate web of earth treasures, including Motherwort and Schizandra. Reishi and Schizandra have been kept in high esteem due to their capacity amplify one’s royal qualities by way of promoting exceptional health and an overall fortified system. Both of these are also a great source of antioxidants which help to eliminate free radicals while ensuring cellular health - for these reasons, they are also useful for conditions such as diabetes and cancer. Motherwort is a well-known heart tonic that was named so due to its nature of calming mothers and children during childbirth and high-anxiety circumstances. By toning the cardiovascular system, this plant also serves as a nervine that reduces menstrual cramps and even calms mild hypertension. In birth, it is useful for inducing delivery of both child and placenta. When you combine all of these elements with Chaga, you have a potion of great strength and potency because, just like every other component of this formula, Chaga also aids in boosting the immune system and enhancing the performance of the liver and the heart. This ally is also known for possessing a wide array of minerals and nutrients, including the biochrome Melanin - thus this formula is effective for reducing the appearance of aging (which is often due to a lack of proper nutrition as opposed to the idea that you’re just suppose to look a certain way as you get older) while preserving our wisdom, innate and acquired. Key VIII is a medicine for DNA protection and vitality restoration.

the story:
The voyage of The Hermit leads us to a unity of heart and mind - this is really the center of this work in “Illuminating the Sphinx”, part 3 of the Indigo Keys - with The Hermit’s lamp we see these ancient entities in all their majesty and remember our origins. Key 9 opens the doors of perception of wisdom as The Hermit is a graduated version of The Hierophant. With these medicines, our knowing (cognition) is supported. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Sage and Horsetail are both considered “surface-relieving herbs”, meaning they repel the invasion of pathogens and toxins through promoting sweating and peripheral circulation - though this is a quality of these plants that comes through more so when they are used in infusion or decoction form, they still contain a dispersing quality when they are used in tincture form. This makes Sage and Horsetail synergistic for expelling colds, flus, coughs, and other respiratory illnesses. Sage is specifically useful for relaxing the nervous system while healing ailments such as a sore throat, being deeply indicative of the initial grounding of The Hermit’s knowledge (crown and 3rd eye insights) into a fluid vocalization (wisdom channeled through clear speech). Sage’s medicinal compounds in conjunction with Chaga and Calendula give us antioxidant support, preventing the damage of free radicals and protecting the body from environmental toxins. All 3 of these medicinals serve to prevent attacks to cells tissues which can cause unnatural aging and conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Here we see that though The Hermit is a savant whose time and experience has afforded them certainty and inner security, there is still the necessity toward a proactive demeanor of physical preservation, so The Hermit, as associated with Virgo, is as spiritual as they are practical. Ginkgo comes through to further the thoroughness of this formula - they have long been called forth as ideal for brain health. For Key 9 ruminations, we have ensured to provide a medicine to enhance thinking and meditation processes, so this is essentially a ritual potion that can be used in ceremony and deep study, alike. If you enjoyed Eyebright Elixir, you will love Key 9 which can be used similarly.

the story:
Whether spinning the wheel of fortune or sitting within the 4 directions of the medicine wheel, we are moving energy. This is a benevolent and generous beacon that allows us to improve and provides clarity about how we are to direct our forces for maximum success. Key 10 is one that promises fortune and deeper alignment with our greatest destiny. Moringa is the primary ingredient in this formula which ensures that this comes forth in this concoction. Moringa has been used in the East to fight malnutrition while treating and preventing diseases. As a component in this path, it enables us to feel more alive, and true to Jupiter’s energy, Moringa motions our organs into wholeness and order for more expansion. Passionflower, Bay leaf, and Ginger have an intimate connection to each other by way of the qualities they share with us. For one, they are all nutritive and can be considered tonics in their own right. Passionflower has a particular distinction as a nutritive tonic with a power for calming hysteria and other imbalanced emotional and mental states. This ally, otherwise known as Maypop Vine, is a dreamwork ally who induces theta brain waves, helping us to access visions from other levels of our consciousness. Pairing this with Bay leaf renders a perfect brew of casting strong spells upon our destiny. Bay leaf has been used in both African and Native American healing to treat headaches, migraines, congestion, muscle pain, and inflammation. In the digestive system, Bay is ideal for upset stomach, colic (even in babies), and stomach ulcerations, while possessing powerful anti-cancer properties through their antioxidant potential. Ginger is a root that is brought into magickal workings to speed up the process or add flame to the fire so to speak - they effectively stimulate our digestive fires as well. Nettle root, similarly to Nettle leaf, helps to eliminate excess water from the body, all the while promoting a healthy fluid balance within the organism. They are also known to promote hair growth and enhance the vitality of men by healing and preventing ailment of the prostate. Nettle root is also implied as effective in treating joint and muscle pains, while alleviating arthritic inflammations. The Wheel of Fortune is a path that helps us to access more of our life force so that we can actively participate in the creation of our story. As ordered and ordained as the universe is, there is room for everlasting creativity.

the story:
There comes a point in this voyage when we have to find our personal equilibrium. This is when we go in and delegate how much we are engaging with what nourishes us juxtaposed with how much we allow ourselves to be depleted. Oftentimes, when this needs to happen, we are having an external experience which is proving to be detrimental to us in some way, whether by our own doing or that of an ‘other’. When Justice rears its head, you must know that the time on that way of living is running short - you cannot keep playing small. Justice is made with herbs that help us to gracefully make necessary transitions. This key is also consecrated with the capacity to open the door to our core. With Key XI present, we can move through any shadows with a clear light - the Illumination of Truth. This is what the Sword represents, the very thing that can cut through all illusions. Calendula is the one to consult if you’re going for the gold. Besides being effective in money magick, Calendula is an ally that awakens a stagnant lymphatic system. This means that our cleansing processes are eased and we can then operate from a more clarified space, taking our actions, thoughts, and words to a higher level. In combination with Lavender, we have a strong inner nourishment mechanism. Calendula has slightly demulcent properties which makes it good for coating our throats and digestive lining, helping to bring comfort during times when our communication would otherwise be strained or digestion and excretion is slow. Lavender helps to relax these areas in the body, furthering the ease that Calendula provides. Agrimony is an all-around cleanser that also treats both respiratory and digestive system. This plant, as a member of the Rose family, even serves as a heart tonic, helping to further the power that Lavender brings. A great work done through Justice, this formula enables us to be fully and gracefully responsible for what we do with the information we consume and how this manifests as what we may utter and, thus, create.

the story:
Represented by the letter Mem (which means water), and with Mem being one of the 3 Mother letters, Key 12 is associated with the element of water. Similarly to the Fool, there is an element of ‘womb and child’ present - The Hanged Man shows up on the card hanging upside, looking almost as if they were about to be birthed from a womb. Key 12 is the beginning of an important transformation which we see more clearly in Key 13. Reducing 12 to a single digit of 3, we see the numerological resonance that this card has with creative frequencies and expressions. The allies used in this medicine provide both nourishment and protection of these aspects of the self. They also serve as promoting a glimpse into the darker recesses of the mind as impacted by the experiences had, perhaps evidenced through the shadows that can show up in journey through the paths of Key 0-11 - yet by the point we arrive at Key 12, we are clear on the forms that these shadows take and can begin to ‘sacrifice’ our attachment to old behaviors, mental patterns, and even connections that are only slowing down the spiritual evolution. With passionflower as the medicinal ally that I have connected to The Hanged Man, the path of Key 12 is one meant to liberate us from obsessive thinking that keeps one stuck or in spaces that are ultimately stagnating. Passionflower is an excellent plant medicine for those who experience anxiety and for releasing the things we cannot let go of. Passionflower encourages us to slow down in a way that enables us to fully experience the wisdom that is shed through a dark night as The Hanged Man. Key 12, with allies such as Motherwort, Burdock Root, and Mugwort, reminds us that there is nothing to fear. Motherwort is one for the brave of heart and strong in spirit. Motherwort mothers both mother and child - in labor, they can ease childbirth and promote a restfulness in the new parents. When administered through breastmilk (the mother consumes motherwort and the child receives the benefits through the breastmilk), Motherwort can readily relax a fussy baby, for instance. Leonurus cardiaca, as Motherwort is otherwise known, is effective for stabilizing heart conditions such as increased heart rate which may result from anxiety and even stress. As a member of the mint family, they have the effect of ‘cooling’ and and really work well with heat or dampness-related conditions such as indigestion related headaches or menstrual cramping. Mugwort supports the work of Motherwort, targeting digestion, reproductive energy, the heart, and our intuitive centers (womb, gut, heart, 3rd eye, etc). Mugwort, with the support of Burdock root, Irish moss, Watercress, and Bladderwrack, is extremely cleansing to the digestive system and equally illuminating to our inner sight. Plants of the water, sometimes known as seaweeds or algaes, such as Irish moss and Bladderwrack are loaded with vital minerals necessary for optimal functioning of the organism. Water is what distributes the nutrients throughout our body, so it comes as no surprise that such plants would be ideal for a pathwork such as this one. Watercress and Orange peel are both activators in this formulation. Watercress has antioxidant potential, ensuring that the work done by the other allies isn’t lost to a host of free radicals. Furthermore, they simultaneously treat respiration and health. Orange peel has similar qualities, while also supporting immunity and skin health. This concoction is a thorough potion that started as a dream and turned into a dance - a dance to guide us more profoundly and directly to the true essence of Self and the Mother source within.

the story:
The center piece for part 4 of The Indigo Keys: Flight of the Phoenix, Key 13 is for those who are serious about making lasting changes and allowing full transformation. The Phoenix is a divine creature who rises from ashes, burning in the cosmic fire which purifies all. Associated with Scorpio, this one is about attuning to the deeper levels fully and fearlessly. It also enables the ability to truly let go of the past - this is one of the areas where Scorpio energy, in its shadow form, can be stagnant, but with Key 13 we see the true beginning of karmic discharge - absolving that which may have been keeping us tethered to what we have been meaning to surrender. In Key 13’s journey, we can figuratively confront and overcome the fear of death. This is the key of changes, and the portals it opens often lead us to ‘leveling up’ and mastery. Like the ascent of the Phoenix or the serpent, which is also often used to symbolize Key 13 or Scorpio, the energy motion is up and central, moving us into our supreme center. Elderberries is one of the main ingredients here, as well as one who has been regarded as an ally for deaths, literal and figurative. In the Middle Ages, Celtic druids used Elder wood to make flutes for communicating with the souls of the dead. In Austria and the north of England, people would leave elder cuttings on graves. The dark color of the berry also gives hint of Elderberry’s antioxidant potential, making them an effective medicine for eliminating dead and obstructive cellular information from the bloodstream. Nettle root fortifies immune system supporting role that this berry is most well known for. Nettle root is at once associated with Mars (Scorpio’s ruler) and the stinging aspect of Nettle makes them one for really cutting cords with old forms that no longer serve us. Nettle is also a nourishing ally that helps to replenish us as we liberate ourselves. For men, Nettle root is very effective a tonic and healer for the prostate. Combining Nettle root with Milk thistle and Agrimony offers a robust liver serum. Agrimony is the truth-sayer that does not allow us to forget who we really are. In magickal works, they are often employed for the courage boosting qualities as well as their ability to protect from jinxes, hexes, evil eyes, or anything of that sort. In the body, Agrimony helps to clear the skin by purging and restoring the liver. Milk thistle has been similarly used for liver health. This distinctly prickly plant has also been found to be greatly effective for lifestyle and age-related brain decline. That quality works well with Valerian root which has been added to this formula as a way to ease any anxiety that can show up when one is going through important and sometimes intense transformations. Valerian helps us to step more gracefully, thoroughly, and confidently into the shift. Valerian root promotes alpha brain waves which significantly increase norepinephrine, dopamine, and beta-endorphins - neurochemicals linked to an expanding of mental clarity, while generating an environment for new information and simultaneously processing what has already been experienced and learned. This is the potion for innerstanding in the various rites of passage throughout life, promoting tranquility through the transitions.

the story:
Temperance is an interesting energy because though it is often connected to the expansive and vast signature of Sagittarius, it is a key that teaches us the importance of discipline and moderation. Temperance is THE alchemist of the tarot - initiation with this arcanum leads one into heights that were initially only imagined. Crafted with Rose Petals and Egyptian Blue Lotus flowers, this is a concoction meant to teach us about transmuting yang to yin when necessary, resting when one would otherwise be in motion. These flowers prepare us with the visions that will serve as fuel for our endeavors. Skullcap and Tulsi/Holy Basil are both effective in the treatment of nervous disorders and are food for the nerves and neurons. Together, they help us not only ease into our being, but also be able to form clearer thoughts, words, and actions. They remind us of the importance of patience and time management for any undertaking so that we will not be overwhelmed. Ashwaghanda is ancient medicine that has been shown to be effective for a number of conditions including cancer, diabetes, and depression. Combined with the other elements such as Skullcap and Rose Petals, they serve as a great synergy for treating a great range of psychological imbalances and spiritual afflictions. All of the medicines in this key are also effective for reducing inflammation and heat conditions in the body. This potion is so powerful that it can support people at just about any age, even the elderly as they transition into more reflective times in their lives. With Temperance as a part of your journey, you will be able to step into your tasks better prepared and with a more deeply cultivated discernment for quality of life.

the story:
Though often feared and dreaded in readings, this is an arcanum of massive potency. The result of this path always leaves us feeling stronger and more spiritually balanced and pragmatic. Through Key 15, we can develop greater confidence of where we are headed even if our exact destination is not fully clear. The symbology associated with The Devil card releases into our lives situations that teach us to use our innate power in the highest creative and spiritual ways, as well as physically. Corresponding to the letter Ayin which means “eye”, this one can illuminate both the gifts and ‘curses’ that we have inherited from our ancestors. Through Key 15, we learn the difference between seeing and perceiving, and we refine ourselves to perceive so that we may fully grasp the truth in its essence as opposed to the surface that can sometimes be the only thing we see when we are looking only with our physical eyes. The allies in the elixir can balance out the extremes of greed and lust that The Devil sets forth to instruct us about, as well as the lack of lucidity that can inhibit clear perception. With Red root as the ally that I have associated with The Devil, this tincture can treat lymphatic disorder and congestion. The indigenous Chippewa people used this unsung plant ally for digestive conditions such as bloating and constipation. The Cherokee regarded Red root as ideal for improving respiration and blood flow. This one is effectively known as ideal for protecting against infection and neutralizing pathogens. Red Clover and Calendula enhance this work through prompting diuretic action and stimulating release of toxins and salts through urination. The coumarins found in Red Clover keep blood flowing smoothly preventing high blood pressure and cardiovascular distress. Like Red root, Red Clover and Calendula also further detoxification; Calendula with a particular penchant for reducing inflammation, a quality furthermore supported by both Ginger root and Devil’s claw. Devil’s claw targets the pain-causing inflammations while also being specifically ideal in instances such as arthritis. Ginger root can help to treat chronic indigestion. With the presence of Echinacea leaves and root, we are afforded a glow to the skin, all the while Echinacea being useful as an upgrade in clairvoyance and psychic ability. The root of Echinacea, like some of the other plants in this potion, is very protective and securing. Synergistically, these herbals all work to cleanse the body of any toxic material, replacing it with an energy that elevates the heart and mind through ensuring a full clearing of stagnancy and activation of the frequencies of high vibrational wholistic love. With the medicine of Key 15, we can activate our will to resist the temptations that can interfere with our ascension. Like the Capricorn energy that governs The Devil major arcanum, Key 15 is one that enables you to clearly see the material resources available to you and whether you are using or abusing them - this formula aids in balancing extremes in earthly affairs.

the story:
The story of The Tower is one that we see in biblical verse - it goes that a united human race, following The Great Flood, agrees to build a city and tower hall that can reach the heavens. God, observing this, decides to confuse them through language and scatter them across the world. The purpose of this chapter is to explain how different languages came to be, amongst other things. Yet, there is something deeper here. When we witness the experience through The Tower, it is about shifting our thought process and how this impacts the action (Mars) we take, aka how we exercise our will. The path with Key 16 is one where we are confronted with our own emotional forces and are made to deal with them in a more thorough and healing way. The aspect of language comes through in that often times this work necessitates a reprogramming of mental frameworks and the creation of more expansive neural pathways - in a lot of ways, this is like learning a new language because we are charged with the task to absolve old patterns and habits and replace them with more harmonious ways of being. Holy Basil and Sarsaparilla are effective blood toning and detoxifying agents. As Mars deals with the blood, it is only right that such allies be included here. Holy Basil is commonly used to help reduce stress and anxiety. The constituents in this plant make them ideal for everything from acne to asthma to inflammation. A highly nutritious ally, Holy Basil also prevents heart disease, relieves headache, and can slow premature aging. Sarsaparilla comes forward as one that purifies the blood, while encouraging sweating and urination. This action combined with that of Cinnamon’s, which in Traditional Chinese Medicine is often used for gastrointestinal complaints, really helps in ensuring that the cardiovascular system is functioning optimally. Cinnamon, like Holy Basil, can also treat eye disorders such as conjunctivitis or other such inflammations. Now, Wormwood is where the potency of this formula shows up full force. Bitter in taste, this one ensures that all of the above mentioned do what they do. Wormwood is also one that can neutralize bacteria growth and support the cleansing process of other allies while also serving as a key herb in the formula. Astragalus is a now well-known adaptogen, bringing balance to the hormones and toning the energetic systems in such a way that they are considered an herb of longevity. In a moment such as the one with The Tower, Astragalus promotes endurance and confidence through the contractions. As one rich in antioxidants that assist in eliminating dead cells and other free radicals floating around, this Key is useful for all sorts of balancing, banishing, and cleansing within ourselves. It is safe to call it the self-exorcism blend. Key 16 encourages us to tear down the old walls and let new life and light into our experience.

“If Arcanum XVII should appear in the prophetic signs of thy horoscope, whatever may happen in life, never injure the flower of hope and thou wilt gather the fruits of faith.” A while ago someone mentioned to me the connection between the words “faith” and “fight” and “fire”, how they informed each other. How faith is required when one is in the fight that seems to find us in life; how the fire needed to continue was within and could be kept lit with the simple remembrance of one’s greater purpose and standing in the grand scheme. Thinking of this, we created a remedy that would inspire and motivate. Hawthorn leaf and flower came through as the first to be added to this tincture; Hawthorn is widely recognized as heart medicine, and in the east they also serve as one that can alleviate digestive stagnation. In combination with Angelica, Eleuthero, and Ginger roots, Key 17 provides a strong boost to both the cardiovascular and immune systems, while stimulating the function and activity of the reproductive system. Eleuthero is effective for boosting energy levels, endurance, and the cognitive disposition to follow through with what we begin, so the Star is one that literally gives us what we need to do what we must. Together with Angelica, Eleuthero also proves essential for brain health with effects for reversing age-related dementia and poor blood flow to the brain. Though these allies stimulate heat in the body, they also help to disperse it, so they are beneficial for people living in warmer climates or for use during the warmer seasons of the year. The purpose of Key 17 is to facilitate clear vision of possibilities, enhance personal wisdom, and enable us to act in a way conducive to sharing our talents and gifts with the world. Key 17 opens the door to our inner fruits.

the story:
A story has been told about The Moon, and this story, it could be true or false. The key thing about innerstanding The Moon is that one has to be able to be more ambiguous and allow Self to be read between the lines. There is a power in this - The Moon is a non-polarized being - they refuse to be anything but the most true version of all that they are. It's beyond 2 - the moon deals in 3. The Moon is the point of comprehending the groundedness of what it means to create at a reproductive level - that very union being a representation of what this entity is - The Unity of Two which is Three. The Moon is 18 which adds up to 9 which is 3 times 3. 9 added to any number will always equal to the single digit version of the number it was added to. 9 is all-encompassing. The shadows being clearer - we see who is who; the I am. Thee I am. Thee r Three - and when more than 2 come in their name, there they be. So give glory. The Moon comes to remind you of who you are - you’d do good to take this key and see what you can open into. Mugwort is a plant straight from the Moon. You want a dream that you forgot or lost? Mugwort will help you find it. Often used in remedies to heal reproduction and regulate fertility, Mugwort reminds us of creative potential, and with Rose as a balance, we learn to transmute that potential into something greater than what can live and die. This duo can take you closer to infinity. Empowerment is Chaste berries’s superpower. Chaste berries in this formula further the stasis that Rose and Mugwort bring, treating infertility all the while helping to cleanse the skin. These 2 seemingly distinct concerns are aided by the hormonal regulating power of Chaste berries. Aniseed is a sweet treat (literally) for digestion which can relieve upset stomach, serve as a carminative to help expel excess air in the digestive system, and even increase urination in people who are prone to retaining water. In synthesis, this formula addresses all lunar and cyclical concerns.

the story:
This is not the end of the journey, but you’ve certainly come a long way and very close to the source of Life. The Sun is a symbol of great promise. When the Sun shines, we can naturally feel more abundant in our ways and secure in life, even when situations threaten to destabilize us in some ways. The Sun’s arrival is a sign that major lessons have been learned and are now being applied. This is the point of the journey right before an important decision (Judgment) has to be made, so what better way to enter into this period than to boost mental clarity on all accounts? Gotu Kola is perfect for this. This plant is considered a nootropic and is said to be what elephants eat that helps to keep their memory strong. In studies, Gotu Kola has been found to be effective in treating Alzheimer’s. In Tai Chi tradition, they are used for their effect on longevity and livelihood. When combined with herbs such as Rosemary, Gotu Kola is widely recognized as effective for hair growth. Preventing free radical damage, reducing anxiety and depression, and treating chronic inflammation are some of this plant’s remarkable abilities. Rosemary and Ginger serve as both catalysts and supporters in this formula. Rosemary is also one revered for their uses in cognitive function, intelligence, and memory. An herb high in minerals such as magnesium, manganese, iron, calcium, and copper, it is truly no wonder how it can do so much within us. Rosemary has also been linked to faster healing time of the liver, which is usually one of the slower organs to heal. This plant is great for cleansing the body, while also fortifying it. Ginger brings some heat into the digestive tract and boosts the power of Rosemary by acting as a catalyst for the transportation of minerals. All three of the herbs in this concoction are useful for treating metabolic conditions that may have you feeling overall stagnant. The Sun’s medicine provides a great fuel for The Empress’s manifestation, while also serving as a great antidote to an overly Lunar disposition and energetic signature.

the story:
A powerful formula for a number of reason, the tincture for Key 20 facilitates penetrating insight. The path of Judgment is used to strengthen the kundalini and free ourselves from emotional problems. Vibrating with the number 2, this arcanum and key is about relationships. The energies released by this pathworking enable us to see our relationships for what they really, not what we wish they were. With the association to fire, we learn to create it from within and use it to destroy and create again as needed. The medicinals in this formula enable those capacities while also being specifically designated to aid us in attuning to our ancestors so that we may see with clarity what is yet to be revealed. Crafted as a tincture made to summon spirits, contact benevolent entities, and open the 3rd eye center, this potion speaks to the transformations that correspond to the our elevation. By the time we get to Key 20, we are very close to the point of initiation into the even greater mysteries. Mugwort, Uva ursi, Aniseed, Dandelion root, and Bay leaves all have something in common, besides some of their physical healing qualities - they attune us to inherited energies, show us how these have been useful or not useful for our paths, and provide us with ways to evolve these for the expansion of our descendants, so that the cycles won’t continue in detriment. Mugwort, a moon medicine capable of stimulating the menstrual flow and even treating respiratory conditions, is well known to promote dreaming and recall of dreams. Combined with another moon ally, Aniseed, they can target the digestive system to ensure that any congestion that is inhibiting clarity of perception is eliminated. Aniseed also has antimicrobial properties which can be useful for destroying a wide range of pathogens and infectious diseases such as staph, salmonella, and e. coli. Such function is reminiscent of the protection that Spearmint offers - high in magnesium, they are ideal for correcting disequilibrium due to foreign cellular information. Dandelion root is right at home in all of this work. This ally, known most prominently for their liver cleansing and healing properties, is ideal for inflammation (fire imbalances) in the body. Now, both Mullein and Uva ursi have been used by indigenous people as part of smoke blends to bring visions. When journeying through Key 20, the expansion is afforded in this way. Furthermore, Uva ursi is distinguished as both reproductive and urinary aid - treating urinary tract infections while making sure our reproductive organs (water-ruled) are equally fluid in their workings. Bilberry and Pine needles both contain vitamin C (amongst a broad range of other components), lending a hand in instances of low immunity, but also being equally exceptional as eye-health-promoting friends, and like Spearmint and Aniseed, for instance, they also possess compounds that translate as antibiotic and antimicrobial. As Key 20 is one that encourages us to apply the wisdom, Solomon’s Seal root was added to this one to enhance decision-making and uphold the increase of our own wisdom through supporting the skeletal system and activating our cerebrospinal fluid. Key 20 is one that enables us to transform various material forces into internally usable energies. The allies here were added to support vision, strengthen the body, and catalyze our evolution.

the story:
Arcanum 21 is a portal of transformation through the realization of completion. At this point, the soul has reached a point of awareness that strengthens one's power and enables a more graceful interaction with the everyday environment. By the time one has gotten through to this 21st Arcanum, there is a lot to celebrate for one has realized the true meaning of the statement that only those who are like children enter the kingdom of heaven. The World potion is here to help you solidly tune into the inner child in you that somehow knows how to make a masterpiece without nobody having ever taught them. The World potion is an ally for creativity and unbound imagination. Crafted with Agrimony, Angelica, and Hyssop, the first interaction with this concoction is going to make you feel very grounded in a certainty of protection. These 3 allies have that magical quality in common - they offer divine guidance and auric protection from otherwise imbalanced energies. Angelica and Agrimony are particularly useful for inner child work primarily because they stimulate the inner fire (Angelica) and help to also cool the temper (Agrimony), in turn providing a leveled energy to enter into the field of manifestation. Agrimony is particularly useful for people dealing with liver issues which may manifest as anger or other hot-tempered emotions, as well as balancing blood sugar levels. Going even deeper, Agrimony and Hyssop combined are going to help with the release of mucus and other fluid stored in the lungs. The lungs hold grief, and so this potion is excellent for those who are holding grief - many times we are not even aware that this is the case. With the letting go of these deeper seated emotions, we are able to come to a point of transformation that enables us to act in the world in a way that is not based on the filters we have acquired through time. The World is a formula that helps us to heal our lungs, reproductive system, and heart - all the while providing a sense of freedom in innovation and constant protection in all our relations.

the story:
This balm came through a dream first, and later it was revealed to me why it appeared in such a way. (Part of the story here). Osain is known as the Orishas the the wild medicinal plants. He is the Orisha with which all must commune in order to actually do magick and cast spells. This masterful herbalist knows the secrets of nature and has mastered the laws of the universe. Osain came to me in a dream years before Meadowsweet did. In the dream with Osain, I was giving birth and an elder whose face I could not see, rubbed a balm on my back and before leaving told me to use it “after the sun comes”. I didn’t see the wise woman again, but in the same dream someone told me that she was Osain and I needed to listen because this mujer has mucho poder and she knows what she says. I obliged and became more serious on my path with the plants. Years later, recently, Meadowsweet revealed their power to me as an agent of transformation. Exploring ideas for formulas to make a balm for perineal tears, I came to learn that meadowsweet was exceptional for this work, so it all began to click. I decided to add medicines which could only amplify this quality of putting things back together, so to speak. Calendula and Comfrey proved to be indispensable allies for this purpose. Knowing Yarrow and Lavender’s capacity to heal wounds, I decided it would further complement the initial 3 components. As I continued to investigate the potential of this formula, I also learned that this combination can also augment the wisdom with applying one’s light and gifts. Because several of the plants here (such as Calendula, Meadowsweet, Yarrow, and Jasmine0 help people to heal from sexual trauma, this serves as a good womb (not limited to the woman’s body) rub, especially when used after a warm or hot shower as the pores are most open and receptive then. Osain Reiki Balm is one that transforms and heals THOROUGHLY.

the story:
COMES IN A 4 OZ. BOTTLE
This one is made with several plant parts I got from the Dominican Republic side of the island of Kiskeya (DR & Haiti). The june plum leaves, cinnamon bark, ginger root, and elderberries all came from there during my most recent trip to the island this past summer. They came together with some other materials sourced in Florida to form this synergistic blend which functions as a tonic with deeply medicinal qualities.
All of the plants in this blend are mineral rich making them ideal for daily use and to support organic and systemic vitality. Elderberries are rich in vitamins A, B, C, and amino acids, with trace amounts of iron, magnesium, copper, and other nutrients. In the Dominican Republic the berries are used as one of the elements mixed in with certain other plants (like Jagua) for pigmentation and skin coloring purposes while also being regarded as particularly healing to the skin due to their vitamins A and C content. This is a property Elderberries share with June plum leaves which also contain high amounts of vitamin C and enhance the bioavailability of the iron found in Elderberries. June plum leaves are a digestive aid and accentuate the power of several others found here like Cinnamon bark, Ginger root, and Hibiscus flowers. These four are a power mix for the digestion specifically because their combined effects target the liver and thus support the natural cleansing processes of the body. Through the benefit of improving organ performance, Four Seasons Syrup boosts immunity. When the different parts of the body each get what they need, our organism as a whole works more effectively how it is supposed to which also benefits our general livelihood.
Calendula flowers and Elderberries similarly share important qualities. Not only do they induce sweating which help break feverish conditions, but they also tone and strengthen the womb so this syrup is beautifully nurturing during the menstrual portion of the moon cycle. In my personal experience, it quickly relieves cramps. The way that Elderberries support the womb also strengthen the reproductive system’s innate cleansing capacity while creating ease in the flow of information between the reproductive organs, heart, and brain. Additionally, Calendula and Elderberries are both high in antioxidants and contain compounds which clear our old cellular debris and upgrades the functional health of our cells. Ginger, a well-known panacea, aids this process.
Hibiscus and Slippery elm bark, like Calendula flowers, are mucilage-rich and coat our organs with a layer that feeds our healthy gut bacteria thus serving as prebiotic components. All three of these have an affinity for the mucus membranes such as the nasal passages, throat, digestive tract, respiratory tract, stomach, mouth, nose, and even vagina. They are known to soothe and calm inflammations, irritations, and aggravations. In Ayurveda these are known as Pitta-pacifying so are indicated for conditions that include heat and sometimes even certain kinds of resulting dampness. Hibiscus and Calendula are beneficial for heart health and have been used to lower blood pressure all while supporting the flow of blood.
Overall, Four Seasons Syrup is a potent and effective full body tonic which targets every major organ system, supports proper activity, and ensures natural vitality.
