Dreaming & Divination Salve - Cailleach's Flying Ointment

£14.25

Dreaming & Divination Salve

Potent but gentle, this ointment will hold your hand and softly guide you to a different state of being.

She embodies the Cailleach — the wise woman, she who sees beyond the veil and returns with messages from other worlds. Made with wild-foraged mugwort and yarrow infused into organic cold-pressed oils and set traditionally with beautifully fragrant beeswax, this is an ointment for those who are ready to go a little further than the ordinary allows.

Mugwort opens the pathways of perception and intuition, supports lucid dreaming and divination, soothes the nervous system, and relieves pain. Yarrow is an herb of air and of flight — feathery and fierce, she bestows courage on those who carry her, protects the traveller between worlds, and is a powerful healer in her own right.

Use in meditation, ceremony, journeying, divinatory practice, or before sleep with intention. Equally wonderful applied as a healing rub for pain relief and relaxation, and particularly supportive massaged over the wombspace and lower back during your bleed.

Apply to the soles of the feet, the heart space, and the palms of the hands before journeying. Anoint the temples and third eye before sleep or divination.

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
