Gathering Medicines

Gathering Medicines

As the seasons mature, so does our imaginal laboratory.

At sunrise, the golden dawn was captured upon the bluebells, as the seed of the day's magic greeted our eyes.


And upon closer examination, we saw the Faeries had flown upon their purple wings to deliver a drop of alchemical nectar, alongside our Alchemilla (Lady's Mantle).


We played with gathered amethysts, nestling in the soft purple rain, offering safe refuge for the Bardo passage for the gifted musician, held in the heartstone upon the altar.


I called for assistance, and together we chose the essential oils most suited for the remedy.

For those with playful intention, and purity of soul can offer guidance to the student. 

We are all students, and we are all teachers.


Precision, accuracy, care and attention are the paths upon which the medicine maker must travel.

And in grading, curating and developing a medicine, recognition of the soft passing of time must be the vital ingredient to the slow alchemy of magic.


POP! 

The fractal bubble of geometry expanded the potentials, in exponential evolution.


Hendoku Iyaku - Making Medicine from Poison


Through the skill of the medicine maker, the venom is distilled as a medicine.

Drops of venom are gathered within the crystal amethyst chalice, inset with cut emeralds and golden droplets.

Upon blending with the tabellarius liquid in 36 cycles, with fire, water, earth and air, an alchemy occurs, whereupon the poison is diluted to become a medicinal remedy.

Nagarjuna, he of the Snake People (Nagas), proponent and expounder of the Prajnaparamita Sutras teaches the mantra of the Perfection of Wisdom is like a great physician who can change poison into medicine.

Everything is Falling into Place.

As the world strives for deeper understanding and meaning of purpose, the humour and wisdom of Gaia openly displays the natural imperative, thought this can be lost from view, as we forget the value of natural patience.

We are all part of one jigsaw, and as the gathering momentum reveals aspects of the puzzle, the inevitability of a medicine for the world is being spoken aloud, though yet in a soft whisper.

A medicine for the world implies a completed formulae balance, within both plant medicines and the collective soul capacity, and in many traditions, all the plants of this earth are considered as medicinal, thus each and every plant on Earth attunes with, and thus has the capacity to heal every illness and sickness, in a perfect symmetry of phytotherapeutic symbiosis.

Nothing is superfluous, and nothing else is needed, the ingredients are awaiting recognition, and thus Gaia will heal herself, as you heal your relationship to the living environment, through witnessing natural patience.

Make medicine today, for the collective soul

Offering the Mandala


Upon the new moon, and the transit of Mercury, we both created mandalas, mine of the traditional Buddhist 37 point mandala, and Helena's was...

The Mercury Enneagram 


She aligned matched, cut peridot, along the structure of the Enneagram, offering a jewelled mandala upon the hours of Mercury's transit of the Sun.

This beckoned a quickening of mercurial lightning within the framework of communication and service, whereby acceleration to the process occurred, and through the child's play, drops of golden oil found the Great and Powerful Golden Ground.

Sunset - the end of this day.


The days are passing by, measured by the metronometrical heartbeat of Sun and Moon, for within the pulse of true time, is the calendar of life.
