Ritual & Ceremony
This is a potent ritual oil for those who wish to walk between worlds. Wild foraged mugwort and home grown lavender are double infused into organic cold-pressed sunflower oil, then deepened with a warm, dark blend of essential oils. It smells earthy, heady, spicy, and ancient.
Mugwort, Artemisia vulgaris, is one of the great visionary herbs. A plant of cleansing, healing, and divination, she has long been called upon for her gifts of sight, lucid dreaming, and the opening of inner pathways. She soothes the nervous system and eases pain, preparing the body to soften and the mind to open. Lavender brings her own quiet power, of love, protection, and deepened perception, her heady, nostalgic fragrance weaving through this oil and grounding it in something tender and familiar.
Together they form a doorway. Anointed onto pulse points, temples, and third eye before sleep or meditation, this oil gently expands consciousness beyond the ordinary and into the luminous spaces beyond.
This is a potent ritual oil. Roll or rub onto pulse points, temples, and third eye. Breathe slowly and deeply, and allow the herbs to do their work.
Available in a 10ml amber glass roller bottle or a 30ml amber glass dropper bottle.

To feel the ground beneath you as sacred, to sense the seeds of all things held within the dark earth, and to recognise yourself as both mother and creation — a living, breathing part of the earthly realm.

Anoint the wrists, third eye, and pulse points. This is a ceremonial oil for ritual and meditation, not a fragrance — though it smells as though it could be both.
ÁINE — Sun Fire Ritual Oil
Named for the radiant goddess of summer, love, sovereignty, and light — Queen of the Fairies, Áine of the Flame.
At the heart of this oil is wild-foraged St. John’s Wort, one of the most beloved magical and medicinal herbs in history.

She relieves pain on all levels of being, soothes the nervous system, lifts melancholy, and brings healing to those carrying anxiety, irritability, or a heaviness they cannot name.

A verdant, enlivening blend of holly, bay, spruce, and Scots pine, created in honour of the winter solstice.

Each herb is dried in the traditional manner and blended by hand into a fragrant, potent infusion that is rich in natural vitamin C, anti-inflammatory, wonderful for coughs and colds, and deeply balancing to body, mind, and spirit.

A potent ritual oil to deepen the connection to the earth and dig the awareness down into the world beneath the feet.
You are a being of the Earth and of the body. A being with a firm foundation in solidity and strength, a being with a desire to remember your belonging here on this land, on this sacred green Earth.
The Earth contains the seeds of all things, it is filled with potential and growth energy and it brings all things forth from within. As the physical manifestation of earth our human bodies are both the mother of all things and the birth of all things; a sacred circle of creation, growth, and birth. To anoint the body with intention, to become the earth represented in human form, is to make the self a sacred part of the Earthly realm.
This oil is named for the goddess Danu. Danu was a powerful and fundamental earth goddess, she from which all power, wisdom and fecundity of the land burst forth. She was also a goddess of wisdom, inspiration, and the intellect. Danu was the mother of the gods, the goddess of the earth, as the earth is the mother of all.
To use; anoint the wrists, third eye, and pulse points. Allow the intoxicating blend of herbs and oils to draw your awareness down into the fecund wisdom and ageless beauty of the earth.
This offering is held within a 10ml amber glass roller bottle. This is not a fragrance oil (although it smells intoxicating, rich, and deep) but a potent ceremonial oil for use in meditation, ritual, and ceremony.
HEART OPENING SALVE — Rose, Lavender & Nettle
A potent, wildcrafted balm made with wild rose, lavender, and nettle infused into organic cold-pressed sunflower oil. To anoint the heart with this salve is to awaken it — to its purpose, its power, and its capacity for fierce and tender love.
The heart is fire. It is passion and warmth, rage and compassion, the spark of life and the engine of transformation. This balm works to tend that fire. To help you transform from a place of deep self-love, held within the fierce and boundaried protection of your own sovereign flame.
Rose carries the magic of love and transformation — for transformation is always, in some way, a death of the old and a flowering of the new. Lavender brings love, protection, and the opening of psychic and emotional pathways. Nettle is a plant of fire and fierce boundaries, of deep nourishment and purification — she builds strength from the ground up and protects everything she touches.
Together they offer a path back to the truth that we can be soft and open and loving while still being fierce protectors of our own tender hearts.
For meditation and journeying: apply a pea-sized amount over the heart space, pulse points, and third eye. Breathe deeply and allow the herbs to open the energetic heart.
