The Indigo Keys, the Houses, and the Orishas (or The Indigo Keys and the Spiral Portal). A collection born in initiation through the blues, the Indigo Keys is a collaboration between the places we seek and the ways in which we get there. They are reminders of Self. The vision for this medicine was conceived as a long and slow dream — the parts came together gradually and intuitively. Each key is connected to one of the 22 major arcana of the tarot, and deeply infused with its symbolism and soul activation codes. These potions are intended to further the work done within the visual spectrum/3rd eye and aid in grounding it into something more concrete (root work), so these are manifestation formulas. The keys provided give you access to houses which liberate you into alignment with a greater version.
Update May 2020: The Indigo Keys and the Spiral Portal, once the tarot tinctures were completed, evolved into The Indigo Keys 5D, of which The 22 Flowers of Life is a composing element.

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.

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.

the story:
“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.

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.
