Sweet calendula is still blooming as we transition into Autumn. Lavender and rosemary from this seasons harvest. The calendula and rosemary will meet with a gentle shea butter and beeswax for tattoo salve. Then a little calendula and lavender with shea for baby bums and rash. Our simplest backyard plants are so diverse in uses. Radiant Rosemary, their history rich. A distractant for the unsettled spirits we wish to keep at bay. Planted at your doorstep, these spirits will l...eave you be, as they busy themselves counting every tiny leaf on the stems. Here for use for the antibacterial and antifungal properties. Captivating Calendula inspires optimism and delight... Mmm. I'm feeling the herbs of liminality present themselves as we move through Equinox into Samhain. These flowers have been placed on the graves of loved ones to wish them a sweet passage. Here, used as a vulnerary; an antiseptic and detoxifying medicine that is a must grow in the gardens for most any skin conditions. Ah. And the seductress of scent. The Lavacious Lavender. Soft, sweet and unassuming. Has a lot to say. "Spikenard" a biblical name for Lavender. This was used in mummification rituals in ancient Egypt for perfume and protection. And today, Lavender's antibacterial and antiseptic actions will also play a role, along with assisting to reduce itchiness and prevent infection. Plants have many faces, each day can be a new hello. Curious about a consultation? Get at me through direct messaging. Would love to assist you on your journey.

Gently exploring this new Tarot deck from a dear friend as salves set. Ginger as Eight of Fire - brings heat to the constitution, inviting the fire of inspiration. Oooo and Devil in the blackberry. A protective medicine as thorns house the sweet berries. "Knowing what keeps you bound can set you free. What desires are you indulging? Choose transformation." ... Five of air as white sage. "Development and erosion (unethical harvesting too) threaten the survival of this species. White sage is teaching us to protect what is holy. Listen. Make room for healing."

From Nimpkish Lake and through the Cape Scott trail. A challenging and difficult hike through the woods for 6 days, that which I would do all over again (once my tootsies heal). This land holds so much pain, beauty, vibrancy and history. The Tlatlasikwala, Nakumgilisala and Yutlinuk peoples shared the Cape Scott area prior to Danish and Scandinavian settlements, and before the military wiped them from their land. Remnants of abandoned settlements, grave sites and bone stil...l remain. The beautiful beaches holding creation stories in the sands still sing songs to the wandering bears, wolves and passing hikers. If you listen. Slowly transitioning back to existence on South Island and I am taking orders again. Breathe deep and drink more tea lovahs.
