Spring Elixir Bundle: Nettle Elixir, The Greening and Milky Oats Elixir, The Awakening
The Spring Elixir Bundle includes the Beltane Milky Oats Elixir and the Ostara Nettle Elixir at a 10% discount.
Milky Oat Tops with Rose and Strawberry! It is the most perfect shade of Dusty Rose and I’m extremely fond of this one.
Oats have a strong association with Beltane, as they’re thankfully growing this time of year before the other grains start. They are seen used in a variety of traditional Beltane recipes, such as Bannock.
The fresh tops are harvested while milky or sticky and act as a nervine for our adrenal and nervous systems. Just as the stalk of the plant, called Oatstraw, is used as a common tonic for stress support, Milky Oats can also be used as a tonic that acts quickly in stressful situations. The tops are high in nutrients like B-vitamins and Magnesium, which also nourish as they calm. This is a gentle and supportive plant that gives me that maternal energy that we feel echoing through this season of fertility.
Rose and Strawberry also work as relaxing tonics for the nervous system and are honored at Beltane. Strawberry, like Rose, is used to draw love.
Magically, Oats are used in abundance and sexual magick, making them perfect for the Beltane season. They also can be used in rituals for the home, stability, and happiness.
Nettle! Now with Rhubarb and Apricot! As with any change in the seasons, there is always a new issue at hand. In the winter, we deal with dry skin and in the spring we deal with allergies. Besides being the epitome of The Greening, another wonderful correlation Nettle has with Ostara is its ability to help with upper respiratory health, especially during allergy season when pollen is invading our air. It is a powerhouse of nutrients that nourish the body. It’s truly a tonic.
Magically, Nettle is used for protection and to drive out negative energy. The essence has been used to open communication after a conflict.
The pairing that Nettle got this turn is Apricot and Rhubarb. Both fruits are associated with the spring. Rhubarb is an early grower and adds a great tang to the elixir, just around the edges. It brings the spring energy of fertility and creativity, as well as protection, like the Nettle.
I also added some Apricot for ancestral magick. I made this Nettle Elixir for my Popaw in bulk. One of his medications gave him this crazy itching and the elixir helped. And I haven’t made it since he passed in June. And it kept coming back to me to add Apricot. Me and Monie shared an obsessive love of them. And it feels right. They belong together, just like my Monie and Popaw.
Apricots offer a heartwarming, peaceful energy that draws us closer to those we love. Isn’t that amazing?
The Nettle in this elixir was wild-harvested and homegrown by yours truly, stinging tingles and all. Your bottle is wrapped up in string made from Nettle fibers as well.
*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.
