BRIGID’S WELL
THRESHOLD ANOINTING OIL
I’ve journeyed with Brighid most of my life either as saint or goddess and she is my patron saint and a constant support for me as a Mother.I wore her goddess amulet as a source of strength and protection as I birthed in my home, outside of the medical establishment, reclaiming the sacredness of giving birth.Brigid is a Triple Goddess and she can be invoked during all 3 thresholds but I experience her most powerfully as a Mother as she is the Sacred Midwife. When we give birth it is a shamanic journey to the otherworld and Brighid is the Holy Gate Keeper.Birth has been an act of power and transformation since ancient times.Honoring and nurturing the Mother is at the center of how our world can heal through reclaiming the sacredness of birth.Herbs are wonderful allies for empowering women during pregnancy, labor, delivery and post partum.This oil is intended for those just embarking on the journey needing the courage to trust in themselves, those trying to heal from a traumatic birth and those trying to find their center in the throws of motherhood.The specific herbs in this oil are bespoke and carry the potential and blessing to heal the physical and emotional heart of the mother while nourishing her organs, tissues and nervous system.

FREYJA
MOONTIME ANOINTING OIL
My daughter Nokomis Moon was cast as Freyja the Norse goddess of beauty, love and fertility in her school play this year.She felt really called to play her, so much excitement at the chance of embodying this archetype!Freyja is known for wearing the special Brisingamen necklace (torc) and practicing shamanistic magic which she taught to Odin (Noko wore my Celtic torc).She wears a falcon feathered cloak for flying and rides a chariot drawn by cats.She is considered a gracious lady but also fierce and enigmatic.She is the epitome of a Maiden and that was all I could think about as I watched my daughter strive to anchor her energy in the opening scene where she is brushing her hair in front of a mirror!Truth be told I didn’t know much about Freyja other than her connection to Venus and Friday’s until this year.I’ve not read much Norse Mythology.When we experience our first moon blood it’s so important we are given a detailed picture of the Maiden and an experience of what crossing this threshold means. Myth and archetypes are the perfect channels to take us there. We can draw on this archetype every month as our bodies transform into a bleeding woman.Notice she is the one who possesses the magic and that is ONLY because she bleeds!The specific herbs in this oil are bespoke and carry the potential and blessing to soothe menstrual cramps while nourishing the skin, tissues and organs during the maiden phase and bleeding time.This is a perfect gift for the newly bleeding maiden to honor the threshold she is walking through and to anoint her transformation or for the woman who is still bleeding and looking to nurture herself during her Moontime

A combination of four 2oz. tinctures and the Beltane Spring Detox Tea Blend will have you vibrating with vitality at the end of the 3 week cycle.

Before becoming an herbalist I was a a Hairdresser and Esthetician for 25yrs, co-founding my own salon Lakshmi Hair Studio in 2007 which is still thriving today. I was trained by Aveda and spent my career using only botanical products. I was blessed to come on to the hair scene in 1995 when more botanical brands were popping up. Horst Rechelbacher, the founder of Aveda, was my first introduction to botanical oils. What a powerhouse of knowledge and inspiration this man is! That was the beginning of my journey into the world of botanical beauty and where my cosmetology and esthetician skills were honed and where I was shown how plants can heal skin and hair as well. In my years of being a hairdresser and salon owner I only used botanical lines, Aveda, Phytologie and Kevin Murphy. Aveda changed the beauty game with their plant dyed hair color, aerosol free hairspray, eco packaging and luxurious treatments and oils filled with plants and plant pigments and aromas. I am so grateful I came to that path of Holistic Beauty when I did, just a baby of 18yrs. Aveda trained cosmetologists and estheticians were in their own little pack and considered in “the cult of Aveda”, lol.I am so grateful I wasn’t on the other side of beauty, where chemicals and injections are par for the course, causing auto immune issues, cancer etc. Not to mention feeding low self esteem.
This oil in particular was inspired by an oil we used in the Salon years ago but a much more concentrated version and with no preservatives. I like to do a treatment every month on the new moon, braid my hair and sleep with it in. 20 mins will also hydrate the hair. Shampoo and condition in the morning. It leaves incredible shine, penetrates deeply into the hair cuticle. If you color or highlight your hair this oil can be applied directly into the color or lightener bowl (10 drops) to infuse moisture into the hair while the cuticle is open during the coloring process. A drop or two can easily be used to smooth frizz.
Horsetail is a plant that contains natural Silica and when it is steeped in oil it extracts that Silica. Many shine and gloss products use a synthetic silica which may produce a shine but is not healing the hair cuticle and over time will actually dry the hair out. Marshmallow Root contains mucilage which is a thick gel like substance that hydrates and moisturizes the hair. It is also strengthening to the hair, helps detangle and is soothing to the scalp promoting hair growth. Plantain is high in Vit C and E which moisturizes hair, supports good scalp circulation and strengthens hair follicles. It can sooth irritated scalp helping with dryness itching and breaking. Calendula moisturizes the scalp and has anti fungal and bacterial properties so it naturally fights dandruff. It is also moisturizing and is anti oxidant rich. Licorice Root soothes scalp, nourishes follicles, promotes growth helps with thinning of the hair. Comfrey moisturizes, softens and detangles the hair strands while also soothing and nourishing the scalp. It contains compounds of allantoin, mucilage and anti oxidants which strengthen the hair and support a healthy scalp. Rose hydrates and strengthens hair strands while soothing the scalp and promoting hair growth. Rosemary and Lemon are invigorating and hair growth promoting.
Ingredients: Organic Argan Oil, Jojoba Oil, Sea Buckthorn, Raspberry Seed Oil, Horsetail, Marshmallow Root, Licorice Root, Comfrey Leaf, Calendula, Plantain Leaf and Rose. EO’s of Lemon, Rosemary, Lavender and Mandarin.

BANSHEE
THRESHOLD ANOINTING OIL
The Banshee (bean sidhe) or fairy women came to me as the guide for crossing the menopause threshold.I was uncertain and surprised at first as I would have logically chose the Cailleach but as I worked with her it began to unravel.In Irish folklore she is the female spirit who announces a family members death by screaming, wailing, or keening.I’ve heard stories about her for years from people whose family members experienced it.I met a lovely man by the incredible name Pius in the Burren in County Clare, Ireland who had the best story of all, having experienced her shrieking first hand.It all came together for me as I began to experience some things that would be considered menopausal symptoms this last year.Menopause is not just when the body ceases bleeding, it begins long before that, if we are paying attention.Just like the Banshee she announces herself letting you know that death is approaching, transformation is taking place. That may come in the form of digestion upset due to stagnation in the liver from hormones.It may come in the form of a sluggish lymphatic system causing bloating or weight gain.It may come in the form of wanting to run away from your life and not have to take care of anyone anymore and seeking solitude.It may come in the form of plantar fasciitis from a drop in estrogen.It may come in the form of anxiety or overwhelm, frustration, dry skin or joint pain, etc.Whatever the form, it is the Banshee announcing our deaths and the sooner we can slow down, surrender, nourish and nurture allowing the great Cosmic Mother to mold us into something new, the easier it will be.Herbal oiling is a non negotiable here.Our tissues and joints need it yes, but our nervous system, liver and lymph do also.This is a time where anything we ignored comes back to heal and nourishing our bodies is the most sacred and reverent thing we can do for ourselves.The physical and metaphysical properties of the specific herbs in this oil are bespoke and carry the potential and blessing to heal the physical, emotional and spiritual body of the Menopausal woman while anchoring her in the wise woman that she is being initiated into.
