December 2015: Greetings! There are now new mini moon sachets available, filled with herbs to encorage restful sleep and vivid dreams. They are small enough to be tucked beneath a pillow, to take in your travels, to place in a special drawer, or in use with a ritual tea kit. New soaking salts, a soothing sleep salve, and seasonal tea blends are making their way into the freshly designed ritual tea kit fabric rolls as well. The new designs are reversible and can be used as an altar cloth or work surface for your meditation, celebration, or incantation. Well being wishes to all! Feel free to contact me for custom work or inquiries.

At the end of the summer on a rocky mountain hike and overnight camp, we happened upon a site filled with beautiful juniper bushes. There were also blue elderberries in abundance along the trails which were harvested in small amounts, and along with some local honey and spices, made into a vitality boosting seasonal tonic. The juniper berries pictured in the dish were gathered slowly by hand, as most of the berries were still in various stages of youthful green. They have been going into my new Numinous blend of soaking salts. Numinous means "uplifting", and these salts are bright and fresh in scent and in apperance, and are used to fortify the spirit. Also featured in the soaking salt blend are hops, and I was fortunate enough just after creating the recipe to receive a bounty of fresh, fluffy hops grown in a friend's garden.
