Aromatherapy for Holy Days and Holidays
Synergies for Rites, Rituals and Spiritual Growth

People of all faiths practice rites and rituals to enhance their spiritual life. Whether you are Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, Pagan, Native American, or follow a path we are not familiar with, we hope you will find something here to enhance your spiritual journey.

New Meditation

We experimented for months with a meditation blend....and finally found just the right one. Rare Oud (agarwood) from India, three different Frankincense oils,  two different Cedarwood oils and our beautiful Sandalwood, all oils that are believed to enhance the meditative state. We strongly recommend using this synergy in the aromalamp, a diffuser is just too much. Please do not use before driving or operation dangerous machinery. We won't be responsible for the results. Those who have tested it have had intriguing results. A must have for all who practice meditation as a part of their spiritual path, for stress relief, for insight and inspiration.

Prosperity

A ritual blend, energetically designed and empowered to attract prosperity on all levels (spiritual, mental, emotional and physical.) Chamomile, Ginger, Basil, Mandarin, Cinnamon, Vetiver, and Peppermint. Available in both synergy and anointing oil.

Protection

Debi says that all energy workers have an area of expertise, and for years, hers has been Protection. Ever since she developed our Sacred blend, she has wanted to include a Protection blend...having sanctified a space, one must protect it against all negative emotions and influences. She started work on the Protection blend well before the events of September 2001, but determined to ready it as soon as possible. Aromatically, it is a complex yet light floral blend of Rose, Atlas Cedarwood, Black Pepper, Bergamot Mint, and White Sage. Energetically....I'll let her describe it:

"For me, to be spiritually protected is the particular feeling of calm required to face the unknown without fear...to feel surrounded by an inpenetratable blanket of light. I know this feeling well after many years of working in the Spirit world. This blend was designed to manifest this feeling." Available in undiluted synergy, or skin-safe anointing oil.

Sacred

Valour

We live in frightening times. Some of us were working on a blend for Solace...for easing grief. Rick felt called to craft a blend for Spiritual Courage. We agreed; we all felt in need of that. He first blended Cedarwood, and Rosemary, Thyme, Rose and Melissa. It was lovely...reminded me of the top of a tree, widespread and airy...but too light and open...it needed deepening. It needed roots...but with what...not my beloved Vetiver this time.... and the inspiration struck both of us

 simultaneously...Spikenard, the sacred root.

Aromatically, it is crisp and green, but not a young green...a stalwart, ancient green...and inhaling it makes the knot in my stomach go away. This is one of the blends that I can feel, when I sit and inhale it...up and down and around my spine, supporting and strengthening me. Another friend says the blend makes her feel safe and protected, free to do whatever she needs to without fear. Rick's gift to all who need it.

Seasonal Blends, for the wheel of the year

Spring Equinox Blend: Spring Sunshine

The Spring Equinox signals a perfect balance of light and darkness in the wheel of the year, with the light on the ascendancy, as we leave the dark of winter behind. It signals a time of new beginnings and rebirth, of planting the seeds for new projects, taking new directions. Think of seeds and bulbs awakening after the winter's freeze. For some it symbolizes the victory of life over death.

To me, Spring is the least aromatic of seasons...my memories of Springtime are visual and textural, not aromatic....the lacy gold of willow branches waiting to open their leaves, the silver shimmer of pussy willow against stark deep brown branches, the shy light of the scentless crocus blooms sprinkled across the new grass, a myriad of soft green unfoldings in the garden as we wait to see what survived this harsher than usual winter. Debi had time to play at the blending table this week, and created a Spring Solstice blend for her own use...one that seems to aromatically capture the visual and textural feeling of Springtime....light and crisp and gold/green in aroma, we promptly named it Spring Sunshine, and offer it to you for your own Rites of Spring.

Based on the traditional Springtime oils, Galbanum, and Violet Leaf, with the light airiness of Carrot Seed and Chamomile, golden Osmanthus, Lavender and Beeswax for the flowers of spring, and a touch of mysterious Tobacco for the deep crisp brown of still bare branches, our Spring Sunshine blend brings the promise of rebirth and new beginnings. Available both in a synergy and an anointing oil, it is suggested not only for use at the Spring Solstice, but also for times that you want to bless a new beginning in your life...a fresh start, or a renewal.

Summer Solstice Blend: Summer Sunshine

On June 21st, we will be celebrating Midsummer Day, the longest day and shortest night of the year. In pagan times, this festival marked the beginning of the harvest period. Some of the early crops, such as corn, and many herbs are now ready for harvest, as are some fruits. It is the time when the sun reaches it's zenith, and is the height of power for the Sun God, who now begins to wane.

Elementally, this is a Fire festival. So the oils we use are those that correspond to the element of Fire, the direction of the South, the season of Summer, the energy of Action. Interestingly enough, these are primarily flowers and spices, all of which would be associated with the height of summer and the feeling of heat.

Oils associated with the Summer Solstice are: Basil, Calendula, Clove, Ginger, Lime, Neroli, Vetiver, Orange, Petitgrain and Rosemary.... all associated with the heat of midsummer. Our Summer Solstice blend conjures images of hot summer days, followed by sultry summer nights. It's rich and spicy, with just a hint of sweetness...we've added just a cooling touch of Spearmint, and the sweetness of Vanilla and Rose...a delightful reminder, to one friend, of sitting on a porch swing on the hottest day of summer, sipping a frosty mint julip.

Autumn Equinox Blend: Autumn Sunshine

For many, Autumn signals the fullness of the Harvest. For others, in the circle of the year, the equinox with its balance of light and darkness gives us a moment of balance before the darkness of winter. For ME, it brings back memories of my New England childhood...I get homesick every Autumn.

In our new Autumn Equinox Blend, Debi has captured the memories of New England Autumns, pumpkins ripening on the vines, baskets of green Macintosh Apples ready to turn into pies and sauce, scuffing through piles of dried leaves on the way to and from school, the crisp deep blue of the Fall sky, and, somewhere in the distance, a trace of smoke as a neighbor burned his leaves. A blend of Black Spruce, Atlas Cedarwood, Birch Tar, Oakmoss, and Galbanum.

For ritual celebrations of the Equinox and throughout Autumn, enjoy our Autumn Sunshine.

Biblical Blends

Tabernacle - From Exodus 30

"Take thou also sweet spices, of pure myrrh and sweet cinnamon, and of sweet Calamus and of cassia and of olive oil....and ...it shall be a holy anointing oil." We have found the purest oils of these sweet spices, and blended them in the proportions given us in Exodus. Available only in anointing oil blended in Extra Virgin Olive Oil..

Please be aware that the Cinnamon Bark and the Cassia in this blend are both strong irritants and sensitizers. The olive oil based anointing oil should be used with caution. Avoid use on broken or irritated skin.

Three Kings Synergy

The Magi's gift....Bulgarian legend has it that the Gold that was the Gift of the Three Kings was not the cold hard metal, but rather Liquid Gold, Bulgarian Rose Otto. We have created an blend to enrich your Christmas rituals, or for whenever you want to give a very special gift. Indian Frankincense, Myrrh, and Rose Otto. I have a wee bit of the last year's version of this holy blend left over, and it smells better than ever. I regret putting it aside, I could have enjoyed it throughout the year! The anointing oil is a gentle, skin safe dilution, ready for ritual or sacramental uses, or for skincare, the bath, or even just to wear as a perfume, while the synergy is ideal for the aromalamp to set the scene for a blessed holiday.

***A goat's milk soap made with the Three Kings Synergy is now available on our Aromatic Baths page.
 

ELEMENTALS

FLAME - a Fire blend

Spicy hot and passionate blend of Ginger, Basil, Cardamon, Cinnamon and Sweet Orange, to invoke the element of Fire. Use with caution, this one WILL burn you! Our little water spirit, Anne can not even POUR this blend...but those who love the dance of the flames are drawn to it. The therapeutic intentions of this Fire blend are to center and uplift the spirit.

THE SOURCE - a Water Blend

The Oceans are the Source of all life. Anne, our water spirit, has captured the essence of the oceans in this powerful blend If you need to invoke the element of water, for cleansing or renewal, with a sense of direction, flow, and purpose, this is the blend for you. Therapeutically, the blend is intended to strengthen, and to help root and anchor. A blend of Seaweed, Juniper, Sea Buckthorn Berry, Spike Lavender, Rosewood, Rosemary, Pine, Cypress Tips, Blue Tansy, and Atlas Cedarwood.

MOTHER - the Earth Blend

An impression of fertility... rich crumbling friable soil is what this complex synergy calls to mind...an empowered blend of root oils, Vetiver, Patchouli, Angelica, Galbanum, Oak moss absolute and Mitti Attar, the true essence of Earth...nurturing and grounding and nourishing.

SPIRIT - an Air Blend

This has been the most difficult blend we've made to date. After several attempts that pleased none of us, we went outside and formally asked the Spirit of Air for guidance. The resulting blend of Larch, Lemon, Spruce, Bergamot Mint, Hi Alt Lavender, and Beeswax really feels like Air...and seems to evoke a sense of openness and freedom.

ALLOY-The Metal Blend

A flat, metallic blend of oils believed to effect the respiratory system, including Frankincense, Niaouli, Hyssop and others with Rosemary, Tea Tree, Patchouli, and Valerian. On an emotional level this has the possibility of unlocking ancient, deep-seated grief.

Tree of Life-The Wood Blend

Wood symbolizes evolution, adaptation and growth. The spiritual oils of Cedarwood and Sandalwood form the base of this supportive blend with Rosalina and Sweet Orange. Said to influence the etheric soul.

The Elemental Set

Two ml bottles of all six of our Elemental Blends, in a blue velvet pouch, a wonderful gift for your favorite Pagan.
