 What to expect from my herbal formulas….

Ritual Entheogens & Plant Spirit Allies

The herbs used in my products are all powerful allies, each with a unique set of magical correspondences and ritual uses. Beyond their uses in spell work, they are all entheogenic in some way. Entheogens are plants which are used in a ritual context to connect with the divine or the spirit world. They are present in virtually every culture throughout history. They are all meant to facilitate some kind of change in consciousness and energy in partnership with the practitioner. Each plant has its own unique vibration which can be tapped into. They can be used with a specific intention in mind or as part of visionary workings to connect with that specific plant ally to receive insight. I have included some possible magical uses that are listed under each product. My products work through a synergy of phytochemistry and the plant’s esoteric properties creating subtle physiological and metaphysical changes. The formulas that I have created are all self-tested and safe to use. They are formulated so you don’t have to worry about applying too much! My products are not intoxicants, and are not meant to produce hallucinations or get you high.

Effects

Plants interact with everyone differently both spiritually and physically. Some individuals are much more sensitive and have profound experiences when working with these powerful plant spirits. Some typical effects that can be expected are: change in mood, euphoria, relaxation or sedation (some products are more stimulating). Colors become more vibrant, and there is a greater sensitivity to light. Some people report slight visuals such as seeing sparks, lights and shadows, which is enhanced by a dim lit environment. These formulas also have a notable effect on how we sleep and dream, making dream recall and lucid dreaming easier to achieve.

Applications

My oils and ointments can be applied to the body. Suggested areas of application are the temples, third eye, back of neck, soles of feet and inner wrists. This can be done prior to meditation, yoga or ritual. They can also be applied before going to sleep to see what comes through in the place between waking and dreaming. Micro-dosing and vibrational remedies are also effective ways of incorporating the benefits of these plants, especially those that effect us mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Many of these plants also lend support in other areas. They are especially effective during periods of grief and mourning, healing from trauma, shadow work, changing behavioral patterns, overcoming fear and dealing with anxiety. My formulas can be used on a daily basis in small amounts to facilitate healing in the previously mentioned ways. Each product comes with information on its use.

Medicinal Herb Disclaimer

While there are some medicinal benefits to my formulas, any details on a plant’s medicinal applications are for informational purposes only. The majority of herbs used in my formulas come from the Solanaceae family, which have been used in herbal medicine for centuries. They relieve pain, reduce inflammation and relax muscles. They are especially beneficial for arthritis, neuralgia and sciatic pain. As soporific herbs they help induce sleep, also acting to relieve anxiety.
