Lilac Absolute Oil ~ Syringia vulgaris L. (Organic)
10 ml ~ $75.00
[image error]
Lilacs have a deep rooted history originating in ancient Greek mythology. It was said that Pan, the god of forests and fields was hopelessly in love with a nymph named Syringa. One day he was pursuing her through a forest and she was so overwhelmed by his advances, she turned herself into a lilac shrub to disguise herself *. To Pan’s surprise, he could not find Syringa, but he did find the shrub. Because a lilac shrub consists of hollow reeds, he cut the reeds and created the first pan pipe. The scientific name for lilac is Syringa vulgaris, and the name is derived from the Greek word “syrinks” which means pipe.
The color of the lilac depicts in part the vibrational action of the flower in this case magenta brings the energy of soulfulness and passion. In the throes of sexual experience (with the right partner) a person loses their world identity and other than death or religious and spiritual ecstasy, it is the only time we truly let ourselves go completely. A sense of oneness is experienced. This concept is explored in tomes like the Karma Sutra and systems such as high Tantra.
Our culture bases so much of our lives around what we 'do' and define our selves through our work and judge our worth based on outward accomplishments. Pan or this aspect of Lilac is about 'being' total surrender to a bliss that is beyond the mundane we so often stridently strive for.
This essential oil connects you to your raw natural self, deeply melding you with nature, profound bliss, divine play, true surrender, being, and the use of sexuality as an ecstatic gateway to the divine.
If you are feeling ashamed about any natural impulse: frustrated, bored, agitated, restless or have a unsatisfying sexual life that does not feed your soul. These are all signs you have been cut off from your deep natural-self. Lilac will help your remember, replenish and make whole what you have lost.
* As you may have noticed in Greek mythology nymphs are always turning into plants to avoid some god/dess or another. This should not be read as violence, archetypal language is complex. More along the lines that we as mortals often do not fair well in the raw energy of the divine and these plants are the emissaries from these god/desses allowing us to touch an aspect of their divinity without being overwhelmed.

"We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust." – Rumi
Ether is everything and nothing – All into One. Ether holds the following gifts:
Expansive and divine; one’s inner muse. It opens one to spiritual gifts such as clairvoyance, clairaudience and being a clear channel—all information beyond the rational mind.
Teaches and promotes the highest expression of Self, understanding truth, and expressing that personal understanding as a lifestyle; true creativity.
Understanding gestalts and working with symbolism, myth, and subtle information.
Good communication skills and expressing clearly what one means and feels, the ability to really hear what others say, including what is left unsaid.
Shadow:
Too little ether
Feeling contracted and immutable.
Lacking spiritual connection and the ability to transcend the physical world.
Difficulty recognizing and expressing one’s own truth.
Difficulty with communication: hearing what others are saying or saying what you mean.
Too much ether:
Feeling spaced out and disoriented, afraid of being alone or lost.

Himalayan Blackberry Flower Essence
"I know my ... plants intimately, and I find it a great pleasure to know them." ~ Barbara McClintock
[image error]
Himalayan Blackberry Flower Essence on sale. Normally $14.50 now $12.50
I completely understand Barbara McClintock sentiment. I derive great joy, intimately getting to know each and every plant (both wild and cultivated) that I am surrounded by. I made this particular flower essence from a blackberry bramble that-acts sentinel at the edge of my garden-where the cultivated meets the wild.
Anyone who has been exposed to this particular blackberry species know how formidable it is. As a gardener she is a headache because she can easily take over any environment. As a home to all the little "critters" that live here: quail, cotton tails, dozens of bird species, and little furry things. She provides a safe haven, snacks, and is paradise.
She yields amazing fruit for pies and preserves, I even made a finger licking good BBQ sauce out of her last year.
On an energetic level she in no less amazing and deals with an unfortunate aspect of life. Gossip and what I call 'helpful meddling', the individual who swears what ever horrible - fill in the blank activity/action/words - that is to your detriment and indeed causing harm, is "for your own good." She offers strong protection from this energy. This may occur behind your back causing one to feel a general sense of unease, the information may filter down to you from another. Or even someone doing great harm to your face, smiling all the while. The key energy to understand here is that even though you are on the receiving end of this malice, you did nothing to generate it. Unfortunately sometimes people are just mean for no good reason.
This can be very confusing. She helps you see the truth in the situation, untangle the knot of energy and right yourself.
Key Actions: Protects one from gossip, malicious meddling, interference from another with the intent to do harm. Helps one see the situation clearly and understand how to unravel and right this unfair energy.

Februarys Birth Flower - Violet (Viola odorata)
The idea behind birth flowers is that the individual born in February shares similar traits naturally as the violet, and these natural tendencies, can be enhanced by bringing this flower into your energy field. Someone who is not a February baby, may bring the blessings of violet into their life, by using this flower essence and essential oil. (use code violet at checkout for 20% off )
One beautiful creation story goes violets first blossomed when Gabriel told Mary also known by the title Viola Odorata meaning ‘Our Lady of Modesty,’ of her sons birth to come. Due to the way the violet came to be, this flower has, become an emissary for the energy of: modesty, being humble in nature and devotion
The Archangel Gabriel’s name means 'God is my strength’ and brings messages to humankind from the divine. Gabriel also brings aid in all areas related to children, helping during conception, pregnancy, childbirth, and child rearing.
Fascinatingly, the Greeks tell a similar story. Violets first came into being to protect one of Artemis’ nymphs, who like their mistress, had pledged to stay maidens. Out of compassion for her vows, Artemis turned her into a violet, to shelter her from the relentless pursuit of Apollo. This tale reinforces the energy of modesty and a devotional nature.
During the Middle Ages violets and their leaves (are heart shaped) went by the charming name ‘heart ease’. In the Victorian language of flowers, white meant modesty. Whereas, the color violet, expressed: my thoughts are occupied with love, coupled with the invitation, “dare to be happy with me”.
Key Energies: Delicate-love, affection, modesty, faith, nobility, intuition, dignity, mystical awareness, inspiration, spiritual passion, sovereignty, a patron flower for children.
Invite the energy Violet into your life with Violet Leaf Absolute or Violet Flower Cordial . You may use code violet at checkout for 20% off
......
This violet leaf is a solvent extract and is thicker than a steam distillation essential oil and provides more of the natural aroma of the violet leaf. Bottled in amber glass + hand labeled.

Once a year with first blooms, I lovingly make flower essences stabilized in the matrix of the actual plant it comes from. Few things are more delightful than being able to savor the energy and flavor of a flower suspended in liquid on your tongue. The experience is delicate and refined
[image error]
My flower cordials work on the same principle as regular flower essences but offer a deeper resonance. They are an invitation to the healing process, containing the life force energy of violet. These are vibrational substances which effect a resonance or sympathetic vibration within our being, inducing a gentle change in attitude, consciousness, and/or physical being.
