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.
