Winter Elixir Bundle: Mint Elixir, The Celebrating and Damiana Elixir, The Quickening
The Winter Elixir Bundle includes the Yule Mint Elixir and the Imbolc Damiana Elixir at a 10% discount.
Mint & Clementine Elixir: The Celebrating. My original Mint Elixir is such a beautiful blend of Mint all grown on our property. Chocolate Mint, wild Water Mint, Catnip, Lemon Mint, Grapefruit Mint, native Slender Mountain Mint, Apple Mint, and a couple more varieties that are naturalizing themselves throughout the garden!
Mint has of course been used for millenia to help calm digestive distress and the nervous system. I have especially enjoyed it as an elixir for a little after-dinner treat to myself that also supports my body in the process.
Clementine was the obvious (even though it took forever for me to see it) pairing for Yule. Citrus season, joy vibes, and the wonderful bitter benefits of Orange, all fit like a puzzle piece. The Mint balances any bitterness and like three seconds after you swallow, the Clementine lingers on the tongue.
Magically, Mint has been used for healing, protection, and to attract prosperity and visionary dreams. Clementines bring joy, happiness, and creativity. They remind us of the sun’s return at Yule and to remain positive in the darker days.
For Imbolc season, The Quickening, I’m featuring a warming and stirring new and improved potion: Damiana Elixir, now 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 to the flavor that is a perfect match for Damiana.
*An elixir is somewhere between a tincture and a syrup. The herbs are made into an alcohol-based tincture and then lightly sweetened, in this case with local honey. It makes tinctures more palatable and I think a lot of fun to add to drinks for a little beverage magic.
*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.
