Summer Solstice Sale
& Celebration

Blue Moon Herbals & Aromatics LLC

June 2010
June 21-Summer Solstice
 
It's the longest day of the year, celebrated with festivities & bonfires in days past. Fires were thought to warm the heavens and keep the sun shining on the land. As the years passed, so did the customs change. Along with May Day & Halloween, this solstice is one of the three great fairy festivals. The day is enchanted indeed, with the very air we breathe filled with light & magick.
Spirits & fairies find themselves dancing & playing amongst the humans. Of course, keep your eye out for those pesky tricksters!!
 
As the moon rises on solstice, I will thank the fairies that surround me with dishes of candy (chocolate, of course!) & cream set in the flower beds. I will light the cauldron fire for Pele, pour water for Hecate & light incense to honor Kali-Ma. Because somewhere between all the problems & rush of this past winter & spring, it occurred to me that a big THANK-YOU is called for.
And, if there's one thing life has taught me it's...
 
ALWAYS SAY THANK YOU
 
So, my friends, here is your thank you...

Greetings!

This week the  weather has been beautiful... hot & sunny. I love the beach & down here you get the smell of the salt air spiced with stale popcorn, cotton candy & the boardwalk ride grease. I love the dark wet sand under the boardwalk & waves crashing on the smooth, slick jetties. I  go down to the beach at dawn & breathe in the scent of the waves.

I surrender...it's summer

Vetiver, Oh How We Love You!!!Alembic Still

Like many of you, I love the scent of musk. Of all the aromas in the world, musks are the sexiest. A good musk creates a feeling of desire, warmth & general yumminess both in the wearer & the person smelling you! Natures ultimate sex stimulant! But what must one do when against using animal products of any kind? A dilemma, huh?

Well, Vetiver is great musk note to play with. It is renowned for it's grounding, aphrodisiac effects & has a deep, incredibly sexy with a velvet touch to it that I keep coming back to.

Vetiver imparts a sense of strength, safety & grounding to the wearer. We use it in both our Root & Foot Chakra blends.  In traditional Indian Ayurveda, Vetiver is used to treat depression & anxiety, & modern aromatherapy uses it for the same things. Vetiver is referred to as the 'oil of tranquility' in India and Sri Lanka. All while being noted as a legendary aphrodisiac! 

We have received a lovely hydro-distilled Vetiver  from Haiti....an perfect example of how this oil should smell
