Summer Shipping Warning......
Yes, it's that time again!!! Crystal Essence Body Butters cannot ship in summer's heat. Our beloved butters will become soup if left sitting in a hot mailbox in extreme heat, so we normally discontinue shipping at the end of May. We will ship for just one more week, for those who will not be able to see us at an event or the center. However, we cannot guarantee that they will arrive in the same condition they left our workroom. If liquid, simply refrigerate. |
A Welcome Summer Gift For You.....
With summer around the corner, it's time for a very special product giveaway- Monica Knighton's Tarot of the Dead. This deck has been discontinued by Llewellyn, so once it sells out everywhere it is GONE FOR GOOD!
So, what do you expect from a deck called the Tarot of the Dead? Dark....lots of Gothic touches? Happily,this deck is entirely the opposite, simply because it includes the carnival mood of the Mexican Day of the Dead. It laughs at death in a good-natured way. It celebrates Life!!!
Based on the Rider/Waite decks, it has developed an underground cult following among comic collectors, Tarot collectors, and fans of the Grateful Dead! And we were lucky enough to get a share of the final stash!!!
So here's the deal..... For a limited time online orders of $50 or more excluding tax & shipping receive the deck worth $19.95 for FREE!!! Offer good May 31- Midnight June 3.
No code necessary.

Yemaya & Okolun...Goddesses of the Sea
The latest oil spill in the gulf has the potential for great devastation of sea life. This is unspeakable crime against living ecosystems should be the final straw...leading us to alternative sources of energy...striving for balance.
There is an utter need in the world for balance and nothing shows that more than the story of Yemaya & Okolun, Goddesses of the seas.
Mother Ocean, Yemaya, resides on the surface, while in the depths, Okolun rules Her kingdom, the ocean floor. She demands respect, as Her powers when unleashed create utter destruction....tsunami's, eruptions... the list goes on. Lately, Okulun has been speaking loudly.The toll in death and crippled economies cannot even be calculated. Now is the time for balancing with Yemaya...a time for compassion and rebirth. She, who embraces fertility family & love, has the power to change and heal. She reminds us that the suffering can lead to joy. (Kind of like walking through the fire with Kali-Ma, huh?)
The ebb & flow of these 2 Goddesses is a reflection of the world around us with the sand carrying the energy between water & land.
It is 9 pm and our beach is quiet. My feet sink in as I walk through the sand...they carry me assuredly to a place I know is sacred.
And there is the water. The water lives & l am so grateful... |
