°∆° Roots °∆° Oo just look at the jar of °∆° Roots °∆°

Oo just look at the jar of dried liquorice root. Even without powdering, the scent is so sweet I keep wondering what I'm suddenly tasting when I open the jar. 

I was loving grinding these up today for a decoction mix for someone. It was just a pleasure to do. 

This mix was for a beautiful womxn with a cyst that needs addressing. Other roots and herbs were also added for her immune system, hormonal balance and vitality and she will set her intentions as she makes up her medicine daily. 

Working with plants can take time but it is so worth it. 

This womxn has both sweet and, separately, bitter elements to her remedies. The sweet is in the warming decoction and the bitter in drops before food. A little gut stimulation for her, not least because we're not moving the way we were pre-Covid. I also want her to nibble bitter leaves and flowers that she knows are edible. 

How are you feeling today?

°∆° Wild In Her °∆° We've been burning ou °∆° Wild In Her °∆°

We've been burning our wild incense on a favourite stone. 

It's filling the room with a sweet aromatic light smoke and we've used this smoke to  do a Limpia session to welcome the coming spring, let go of the needs of winter and begin to embrace the lighter qualities of spring. 

We've used the aroma to stimulate our senses and bring in tiny ceremony to ask for peace and love today. For care and tending. For joy and expansion. 

The smokes of the red cedar, mugwort, rosemary, rose and lavender are floral, lemony, zesty, earthy and pungent. It is a wild scent and opens us to our inner wild. 

The resin is precious and full and sizzles a little. 

And we carve little cedar sticks for fun and joy. 

Blessings dear ones ❤️🌹

°∆° Burns °∆° Today I received the most b °∆° Burns °∆°

Today I received the most beautiful cleansing, healing session with an Incan medicine man. After this session I felt it was the right time to make this burn. 

It is a beautiful mix of local Mama Cedar (Thuja), Mugwort, Rose, Rosemary, Lavender and Frankincense. 

It smelled beautiful to make and casts a smoke that is cleansing, aligning, healing and protecting. 

I am going to burn this tmrw and cleanse my home and bless my beautiful children, pup and space. It's not going to to be chocs and flowers, it's going to be self love and tending. 

Blessings for you all 💗🙏🏽💗

(These will be in my Etsy shop later today... wildapothecaryshop 😘)

Just restocked the Etsy shop with new offerings. 

We have this beautiful facial oil which sold out locally last batch but I was asked to make more so here it is - forest and flora blended into the Wild Sublime. 

Made with organic baobab, jojoba, argan and sweet almond oil with my favourite essential oils infused and ready to delight your skin. 

We have the beautiful Tender Earth Luminifera Bath Soak which is a blend made to soften, open, ground and calm whilst relaxing in the bath. 

And... We have the gorgeous Renewal Burn Sticks - 13 made on the Wolf moon and 9 left for anyone who needs to cleanse, clear, protect and align space or self.

How you all doing? Come on sunshine 🌤️ 💗

°∆° Sunday Eve °∆° Somewhere my matches a °∆° Sunday Eve °∆°

Somewhere my matches are sitting... But I don't know where because I hid them from the kids... 

A little spring has entered the house in the form of our garden's first blooms of daffs and leaves from a little pruning. 

Drawing Luma into my book. She asked for a picture of her in the hedgerow where she makes magic. 

After a day of looking over Lyme disease notes and sources of medicines it is a welcome respite. 

Weaving in the puma as a witch, magical rowan, protective apple, visionary sage, elvish elecampane, clearing rosemary, dancing daisy and her favourite, luscious alchemical magical wondrous rose. 

Now to colour with a wee dribble of bubbles and a gentle audiobook (Braiding Sweetgrass, again - I could listen to Robin Wall Kimmerer forever). 

How you all doing?

°∆° Luminifera °∆° Imbolc is upon us. Ove °∆° Luminifera °∆°

Imbolc is upon us. Over the next few days spring will step up with green shoots, flowers and birdsong. 

Today I saw a crocus, a few primroses and a carpet of snowdrops. 

Ahh. The welcome relief of spring.

I've created these bath salts with a name I've been thinking about for years. 

The light. The luminescence. the moon. the glow. All in my consciousness every day. 

These salts are an organic blend of rock salt, rose petals, oatstraw, marigold petals and yarrow flowers.

I've then blended in my favourite earth floral scents of rose, rosewood, frankincense, sandalwood, vetiver, cedar and rose geranium. Some of which are now endangered and I only use a few drops of my precious oils bought before I knew. 

I printed the labels on totally compostable label paper (and backing paper, which is usually plastic and wasted) and used glass jars. 

I'm loving these salts so much. 

They'll be available on my etsy shop soon but until then, DM me if you'd like one (£17).

And happiness for the coming quickening of spring 💗

°∆° Incense °∆° We thought to make some t °∆° Incense °∆°

We thought to make some tiny cones for burning from Blue Atlas Cedar and Cinnamon. The beautiful cedar has lost a few branches so we gathered them up and dried the needles. The cinnamon was in our cupboard and was a finer powder. So we combined the two to see what would happen. I have a few resins but am loathe to use them until I find more in the wild. 

This weekend has been all about clearing, cleansing and preparing for spring. A slight mellowing of winter rugging up and a glimpse of the lightening coming. 

When we perfect these we'll have some in the Etsy shop but until then we're enjoying finding plants, draftings our makes and connecting through the plants.

°∆° Smoke Sticks °∆° Myself and my girl s °∆° Smoke Sticks °∆°

Myself and my girl spent the afternoon crafting these beautiful smoke sticks.

We made 13, as always. 

We were listening to I Am Witch, a talk by Cali White about reclaiming our power as womxn and connecting with our ancestral lineage and land, or as we see it, becoming indigenous to the land which holds us, nourishing our bodies and souls.

These smokes bind the beauty and power of red cedar, fir, mugwort, wild oregano, yarrow, rose and or aster. They were all harvested from these valleys. 

These are cleansing smokes with protection, self love, magic, wild and intuition woven throughout. 

They'll be available to order from my Etsy shop (wildapothecaryshop) very soon. Now just leaving them to dry while we work on more Imbolc plant magic.

°∆° Mama Cedar °∆° But. Just. Look. Thi °∆° Mama Cedar °∆°

But. Just. Look. 

This beautiful Thuja plicata growing right by my house spreads her beauty and with it her seeds. 

Tiny opening pods of wonder and magic from this Western Red Cedar. 

She'll grow to 200ft so might have been planted here by mistake as it's a densely populated urban slope but for now, whilst smallish, she is oozing protection and magic.

More on her tmrw as we prepare more burn sticks for Imbolc, with Mama Cedar at the centre.
