Dreaming & Divination Salve - Cailleach's Flying Ointment

£14.25

This is a potent but gentle ointment which will hold your hand sweetly and softly guide you to a different state of being. Use Dreaming & Divination Salve to support your endeavours in meditation, ceremony, journeying, spirit travel, divinatory practices, and dreaming with intention.

This balm embodies the essence of the Cailleach, the wise woman, she who sees beyond the veil and brings back messages from other worlds.

Made with wild foraged mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) and yarrow (Achillea millefolium) infused into organic cold-pressed oils and set traditionally with beautifully fragrant beeswax.

Fragrant Artemisia vulgaris opens up the pathways of perception and intuition. Mugwort is a sacred herb of cleansing, healing and divination, and was often used magically for her gifts of sight and lucid dreaming. Mugwort is also a reliever of pain and a calmer of nerves. Beautiful feathery yarrow is an herb of air and flight, and bestows courage on those who carry her. She is a powerful healer and protector, and it is said that evil will not cross a line of yarrow.

This ointment can also be used to promote healing and as a rub for pain relief and relaxation, particularly helpful and expansive to apply over the wombspace and lower back area during your bleed.

A note on Flying Ointments:

While this is a far cry from the flying ointments and potions of old which often (although not always) contained plants considered to be (or which have the potential to be) dangerously poisonous (belladonna, mandrake root, henbane, monkshood, etc) which when applied to the skin produce psychoactive effects, this ointment can still induce changes in your sense of perception and awareness. The effects will depend on individual sensitivity, constitution, and the level of your connection, communication, reverence, and relationship with the herbs and yourself.

Many of the historical perceptions of these ointments come from witch trial records and therefore cannot really be trusted, but it is certainly not unheard of for westerners to use their own native plant medicines to induce different states of consciousness.

To use, apply a pea-sized amount over heart, soles of feet, pulse points and third eye. Relax and allow the herbs to take you to a place of opening and heightened awareness.

NOT SUITABLE FOR USE DURING PREGNANCY OR WHILE BREASTFEEDING
