Damiana with Cocoa Elixir: The Quickening. Awaken Passions, Soothe Anxiety, and Attract Your Desires.
For Imbolc season, The Quickening, I’m featuring a warming and stirring potion: Damiana Elixir with Cocoa & Vanilla Bean! I considered Damiana for the passion holiday of Beltane. But let’s be real, the cold, dreary sweatshirt days of winter need this little boost more!
Damiana is a tonic herb that has a restorative and calming effect. Its use predates written history in the subtropical areas of our half of the world. It helps relieve stress and anxiety by soothing the nervous and digestive systems. When we’re relaxed and our anxieties are lessened, it’s much easier to be present in the moment. To say and do what we really want.
Magically, Damiana has been used to attract new lovers and to intensify passions. It’s often used in spell bags and spell jars. Damiana is also a little like Quartz in that, it amplifies the energy works of other plants. So it also brings that connecting-with-others energy.
Chocolate is a notorious aphrodisiac and mood booster. It stimulates the heart and sacral chakras, connecting us with the elements of grounding earth and inciting fire. My homemade Cocoa and Vanilla Bean Elixir has a lush roundness that is a perfect match for Damiana.
*Though, I mostly only work with tonic herbs, please do research on all your herbs before taking them as contraindications can happen on a personal level.
