A Transmission from the Cannabis deva
Dragon medicine – a double edged sword! Warning: This transmission may trigger some people. Just want to preface this by saying: I am just the messenger, not the source! Some of this information made complete sense and some of it surprised me greatly – I was particularly intrigued by the specificity of the different preparations…

Herbal Brews
A few tried and tested herbal beer and champagne recipes. Apart from making a fairly regular Elderflower champagne, I haven’t delved much into herbal brewing. Although I did make a rather delicious Dandelion wine once in my early 20’s when I was entering the world of herbalism. It wasn’t until last year at the beginning…

Chamomile – Finding the Light Within.
A message from the Chamomile deva: Activate your light. Let it shine. Listen to the light of truth deep within. Don’t get distracted by the loud voices of the ego that can clutter your space and cloud your mind. Connect deeply to your real self, your own sun, your solar plexus, your centre. There is…

Shepherd’s Purse Wisdom
Making plant remedies is a great opportunity to connect in deeper with the spirit of a plant and learn from it, whether it be a tincture, a flower essence, a tea, salve or homeopathic. In turn, this gives more potency to whatever you are making. Anyone can chop a herb and pour alcohol on it…
