HERBS

Helianthemum nummularium (Rock Rose)

Rock Rose helps us to befriend the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. For those who are afraid of dying or loss of self. On Chalkidiki, peninsula, a legend is told that there was a council on top of Olympus where the gods determined which plants should assume a certain task of healing. The fathers of the gods assigned rockrose the task of healing warriors wounded in battle. That annoyed the goddesses, because they were certain that the herb with the delicate pink blossoms would be much more suitable for beauty care – internally and externally. The result was that rockrose was given both of these tasks, healing and beautifying. No question: in the ancient world the plant was very popular. Particularly its resin, the so-called labdanum, was renowned in the entire Mediterranean region as a cosmetic and aid for skin and hair problems. Furthermore, it was appreciated as a remedy for the pestilence of the time and other diseases. Mostly, however, the Greek farmers and monks of the famous abbeys of mount Athos used the rockrose herb as a medicinal tea for various disorders.

The rockrose herb is the particularly high level of vitamin P. Certain tannic acid compounds are also involved, the so-called polyphenols. Rockrose belongs to the group of plants with the highest level of these active agents. In lower concentrations, they are also found in other healthy foods like onions and red wine. These substances have a stronger antioxidant effect than the well-known vitamins E and C.

Nymphaea nelumbo (Lotus Flowers)

Lotus Flower Essence walks the same path helping us to arise from the deepest depths with brightness and clarity. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the root is specifically used to treat a variety of blood disorders, from stopping excessive bleeding to moving blood that might be stagnant. Rich in vitamin B. iron, vitamin C, phosphorous, copper, manganese, potassium, sodium and dietary fiber, its easy to see why lotus root would be nourishing to the blood– but its also a great addition to any healing diet, regardless of its typical medicinal uses.

The lotus flower has been a respected symbol of purity, beauty and rebirth. It is believed that it represents how difficulties and trials can bring forth a majestic transformation in a person as he or she is honed and molded into the beauty they have become today. Lotus Flower can associated with healing of Mother Nature, Relationships, Love, Spirituality, Religion and Depression. It promotes relaxation and it increases relaxation and awareness.

HEMATITE CRYSTALS

Hematite utilizes the magnetic qualities of our yin-yang energies to balance the meridians within the body. Hematite is a red oxide of iron, like iron rust. The name hematite comes from the Greek word haima, or ema, meaning ‘blood,’ as it shows a blood red color when cut into thin slices. As such, hematite is also called ‘bloodstone.’ It is believed that it helps anemic people and grounds.

Sometimes, when the stone has a layered appearance, like the petals of a flower, it’s called ‘iron rose.’ Hematite has a long history as a material with many different uses. Hematite crystals that are shiny have traditionally been used in mirrors, and are sometimes called specular hematite. From 2500 BC to 500 BC, hematite was used to make cylindrical seals. Hematite has also been ground and powdered, and used by artists as a pigment, or for polishing. In fact, powdered hematite was used by prehistoric man for cave paintings, by the Egyptians to decorate the tombs of pharaohs, and by Native Americans as a war paint. Today, it is still used as pigment, as well as a metal polishing powder called ‘jeweler’s rouge.’

SOY-WAX CANDLE

100% soy wax to provide a non-toxic, clean burning scented candle was hand poured in painted and glazed clay pot on selected auspicious Moon.

Essential oils have the capacity to change the electrical frequency of the body. When frequencies drop, disease sets in. Essential oils have the highest frequency of any substance known. As living substances, their frequency is harmonic with the human frequency. When we come in contact with them, our body frequency is raised to a degree that we become inhospitable to pathogenic organisms.

The form and the paint of each candle vary. Each piece was individually crafted. The candle weights about 260 – 300 gr, with size around 7 ø and height of 6 cm. Each candle burned unique amount of hours, dependable on many factors. Lit candle is recommended to be burned until the whole wax liquefies before extinguishing it, otherwise the wax will creates “rings”. If rings were created, it is easy to scrub them off the pot walls helping them melt down. It is not desirable to leave the candle untended. After the burning the empty clay candle pot could make fine jewelry case.

Please note: As soy wax cools, it can pull away from the pot and create an effect known as “frosting” which looks like air bubbles. This is completely normal and to be expected. In fact, it’s a easy way to tell if your candle is 100% soy, as some companies will add a small amount of paraffin or other additives to eliminate this effect.

Candle Care:
– Burning candles should always be in a safe place and never left unattended or with children/pets.
– Do not burn candle completely, and dispose of it when it reaches its base and/or holder.
– Crystals can charged by Full Moonlight/Sunlight, and cleansed with warm sea salt water and/or sage.

((DISCLAIMER!!! The dried herbs and flowers will catch fire when the candle is at the end.))

WE ARE THE SHAMANS

As a shaman you cannot heal your own wounds, but you can help others. As a shaman you can connect to the animal kingdom, which proceeds us. Through animals we were reincarnated as humans. We have evolved and yet our animal instincts can help us align with our force. This is the pure animalistic internal power of will, navigating us to self empowering. We can use the spirit animal as a intuitive source of awareness. This is a journey far beyond our mental state.

Our devotion to the dark hour, where we find peace and solitude into the subconscious realm is a perfect time for meditation and observation. Since ancient days fire is symbol of the truth, power and enlightenment. Lighting fire with intention and bringing thought into it, is very old simple magical practice. This particular candle was dedicated for the most important celebrations of all The Winter Solstice. This is the time when the Sun is actually closest to our Earth. The time when the nature in the Northern Hemisphere goes to sleep during the Scorpio transformation month. During the Sagittarius period, the dream dwells deep towards the Galactic Center, where it awaits to be reborn. With the emerging of the Sea Goat Capricorn from the depths of our Dreams, this dreams starts crystallizing and forming into the kind of oyster pearl we are able and willing to create. The Goat builds steadily and slowly, so patience is needed. But this crystallization is the back bone of the Baphomet’s half animal half woman God. This metamorphosis of our human nature, reminds us of our true nature. The evocation of spirit animal within us.

Onca is the feline shape-shifter. Dedicated to the Panthera, this series has the aim to inspire old traditions, such as shamanism. To restore and connect our visions to the astral spectrum of divine light. Also to promote the less popular understanding of the true meaning of the Christmas celebrations. The Winter Solstice rituals and their meanings are essential to our growth and noble strength as humanity. At the time when the Christ is born from the dark hour of Hades, meaning that the Sun emerges from below and the day hours are beginning to grow, it is the most important time for the initiation of our thoughts and for their materialization.

If Santa was imposed as the the popular funny big red man, who magically brings joy to all good kids, in reality we all can be Santa’s, if we understood the natural laws and lived ethical life according to them. Santa or Saints? If we would be able to create this pleasant image for ourselves and become the Gandalf, the Guru, the joyful old man, who often can be also seen either as Jupiter, but why not as Saturn as well? After all Saturn is giving gifts to those who have done their good work and lived long life, but of course in traditional astrology he is considered to be taught on the children, so he ate them as the Cronus tail tells. Why? Because he wanted to teach them taught lessons… every thirty years he will come around to check if there was improvement of adulthood and if not, then yes, suffering and isolation might occur.

In Mythology, Jupiter-Zeus was saved by the Goat-Nyph Goddess Amalthea and so the goat, is the savior of motherly wisdom, to conclude. The Capricorn is yin symbol holding ancient feminine wisdom of the preserver with prudence and soberness, but also the Pan, the pro-creator. It is the master builder of our reality. The Matrix Gate cardinal keeper. Because through this Gate, the souls leave this realm.

How we gonna build this reality is in our own hands. We can recognize the magical potency of the evergreen Christmas Tree, which resides in each of us. Remaining playful as a baby goat, youthful in the heart, sharing inclusiveness with its tribe, through humble devotion and joy for servitude. The goat priest wisdom, is not to be wasted, has to be accumulated with hard work and patience. And by meditative practices, which are stimulating our pineal glad. Yes, the Christmas tree is connected to the spinal cord as revealed by ancient esoteric Indian stories. After we activate our antenna, with meditation for example, we can accumulate natural production of DMT inside our pineal glands and light up our STAR on top of the “Christmas tree”. Our lights can reach then far into the vast space, time and galaxy, empowering our true being. Made of star dust. Yes, this might sound fantastic, but YOU ARE THE SHAMAN. What is your totem animal?

Shamans are healers, who use plant magic to connect to your spirit animal and communicate with the forces. This natural forces are our Gods, the wind, the seas, the stars, the Planets and so on. Shamans are healers of others. If you have the power and are pure at heart, you would be able to transmit correctly the starlight and could see the animal spirit of others. Now hop on and ride the magical deer…. he will show you the Milky Way, yes, more about this will be future in here: thestarreader.com
