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.
