Shadow Waltz

Face & Body Oil

An enlightening yet grounding serum that guides the initiative into themselves further. These are loaded with amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and other beneficial properties for your skin and smell faintly of that sacred sweetgrass & cinnamon.

Goldenrod is antibacterial, anti-fungal, and a powerful anti-inflammatory. They are a potent source of antioxidants.

Ceylon Cinnamon regarded as an herb for the Kings holds many spiritual and physical benefits. They also house many antioxidants, including polyphenols, which protect your body from oxidative damage caused by free radicals. Their anti-inflammatory properties are great in preventing acne flare-ups on the face and body as well as acting as a mild analgesic.

Rose is another source of antioxidants; these particular antioxidants help to strengthen skin cells, which in turn, can help regenerate skin tissues. On top of this, the antioxidants in roses work to neutralize free radicals, which can provide anti-aging benefits to the skin as well. Rose can relieve redness, as well as balance the hydration in skin.

Sweetgrass to my peoples is used as a unifier, a bridge amongst people, and a way to reset and set the tone of a space before ceremony. Sweetgrass is Tonantzin’s, Mother Earth’s, pelo/hair. She has offered this as a gift of thanks and remembrance that we are all one. An especially important ingredient to me.

Lemongrass is known to remove impurities when used in skincare, so applying this face & body oil after a face wash or shower is a great way to remain clean and prevent any build-up of unwanted bacteria. They have astringent properties as well helping to reduce pores.

Rosemary is another powerhouse of antioxidants and vitamins! They are known for their regenerative abilities, so they make an excellent helper where skin has been damaged.

Black Walnut Hull typically acts as a anti-parasitic, so when we apply this to our skin we are ridding any micro-parasites as well as preventing them from gathering.

Directions: After washing and toning apply on face & body. Place intention into the oil before use. Anoint talismans, altar, or sigils. Place on vital points of the body to help move stagnant Qi (energy).

Incense Cone

Especially powerful for calling unto Spirits for their guidance & grace.

Also used as a way to close any conversations lingering in the air as a way to ensure boundaries are respectfully heard.

Every Autumn I craft an incense cone to leave on my ofrenda to invite my family members who have passed from this plane back for a night.

Copal is traditionally used in a communal setting; family gatherings, festivities, birthdays, deaths, etc. They are the great bridge from our Seen world to the Unseen world.

Pine is typically used as a cleaning agent, so when applied t the air as a smoke they help to remove any bacteria lingering in the air.

Palo Santo is a great force when creating and sticking with set boundaries. They have a loud, clear and gentle voice like Water or Abuela.

Olibanum or Frankincense was used as an offering for gods and kings. Used in exorcisms, baptisms, and funerary rites Olibanum is meant to exalt and lift prayers.

Dragon’s Blood is a strong anti-bacterial and anti-fungal. They can symbolize endings, so when applied as a smoke it is a great way of saying goodbye to a past entity/situation/relationship that is not meant to come along on your journey with you anymore.

Sacred magicks from: Palo Santo, pine resin from the trees that grow around me, Copal Blanco, locally grown Sweetgrass, olibanum, dragon’s blood, and they’re rolled in lavender 

Directions:

Light the tip of the cone for a few moments until it catches. Send prayers up above.

Ceremonial Pipe Blend

An uplifting smoke blend to improve memory recall, dream memory retention, spirit realm visitations, and meditation.

When to Smoke:

Right before bed to soothe your nerves and help prepare your mind and body for rest and to dream lucidly.
During journaling time. Sit with yourself with your eyes closed and focus on a want or desire. Hold onto that thought while allowing any others to come to the surface as well. Do not push them away because that noise is part of what we weave in silence & solitude.
Before your meditation smoke 1/4 – 1/2 of the joint while practicing box breath. Inhale 2, 3, 4, Hold, 2, 3 ,4 Exhale, 2, 3,4 Hold 2, 3, 4. Repeat.
Sex Magick, Manifestation & Divination work. This blend contains mild aphrodisiacs and plants that are connected to both Venus and the Moon. These plants will help lift our desires with the smoke to the Sky Nation honoring our desires, our sensualities, and our sexual and creative natures.
Grounding when anxious or when one feels they’ve ingested too much cannabis. This blend has helped people come down from their highs before when they are too intense.

As an alternative to nicotine-filled cigarettes; I have had many a friend come to me and request a blend that would help them kick their habit, and this blend can help do just that. Whether it’s smoking or another habit that you are wanting to kick come the new year this is a great thing to reach for when cravings hit.
When you need clarity about a situation. This season to me is all about bringing in practices and rituals that help us get closer to our truths and others truths, so we may live fully in our truth with each step we take. Ask a question, smoke, and open yourself to receiving the answer.

Directions: Light the tip to burn evenly, inhale the flame away. Take your time; this blend is designed to be a smooth and slow hitting pre-roll. Honor a slow rhythm

Shadow Waltz

Lenitive Potion

🔺 On a physical level the spray quickly absorbs into the skin and stimulates blood circulation where there is stagnancy. Stagnancy usually leads to inflammation, and that inflammation leads to different pains in the body.

This spray relieves pain and swelling as well as help to heal chronic injuries that are older and have lingered around the body for awhile.

🔻 On a metaphysical level this spray assists in clearing stuck energy, thoughts, and patterns. I believe many illnesses and chronic pains are due to unresolved and lingering trauma in and around the body. Energy is energy, and it can and does move all the time. Sometimes the comforts of old energy keep us from letting go, and moving on, but there are many paths to redistributing energy.

When I feel tension and tightness in my throat I know it has something to do with feeling unable to voice something important to me. When I use liniments they help to open up that channel and allow that energy and voice to flow freely rather than live behind a dam causing me pain or discomfort.

This makes a very strong anti-fungal and anti-bacterial as well. Use as a room spray or as a hand sanitizer to clear the surface and air of bacteria and parasitic energies.

Directions:

Spray directly on your body on areas (muscle, joints, bones, etc.) where you feel pain, tension, and inflammation. Rub into skin and allow to air dry. Spray as needed.

Spray a couple of times into the air to purify it.

Spray on hands or bodily surfaces where you need to sanitize.

Cayenne (Capsicum anuumm), Arnica (Heterotheca inuloides), Sweetgrass (Hierochloe odorata), Cannabis, Hemp, Cempazuchil (Tagetes erecta), St. John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum), with essentials of Cedar, Pine, and Sweetgrass
