The Blessing Waters are external ceremonial mists made with holy water, hydrosols, essential oils, proprietary Temple formulas of flower essences, prayer, and a crystal chosen for each formula.
The Temple Resins are hand-ground aromatic blends created for ceremonial burning. Their fragrant smoke creates, holds, and completes the ceremonial field.
Rose Mystica Elixir is an alcohol-free preparation of rose petals, glycerin, and rose hydrosol created for internal use. It brings the medicine of rose into the body and supports your return to the heart.
-
You can use them within formal ritual, daily prayer, meditation, healing sessions, home blessings, altar tending, or any moment you want to bring greater intention and presence into your life.
The medicines can be used before, during, or after your practice. They help create the space, hold the field while the work unfolds, and complete the ceremony.
-
Shake the bottle well before each use. Mist the Blessing Water around your body, throughout a room, over an altar, or near a threshold.
Avoid spraying directly into the face, eyes, or mouth. The Blessing Waters are for external ceremonial use only.
-
Yes. The Blessing Waters were created to support healing work before, during, and after a session.
Mist the chosen Blessing Water before the session to prepare the client to receive and establish a clear, coherent field. Use it during the work to support the medicine as it unfolds. Mist it again at the close to complete the session, seal the client within their own energetic field, and help the practitioner release what does not belong to them.
Each Blessing Water carries its own medicine:
Rose Mystica supports the heart field, emotional harmony, receptivity, healthy boundaries, and Divine guidance.
Holy Trinity supports consecration, spiritual protection, Divine attunement, inner listening, and connection with the Divine beings assisting the work.
Body of Light supports grounded embodiment, radiant presence, physical and energetic coherence, and a strong, luminous field.
If you have an in-person healing practice, I recommend having all three available so you can choose the medicine that best serves the client and the work being held.
-
Shake well before use. Take 2 to 4 drops orally, either directly on your tongue or added to a small amount of water.
Hold the dropper above your tongue and avoid touching it to your mouth. After taking your dose, squeeze the top while the dropper is still outside the bottle to release any remaining elixir into your mouth or water. Return the empty dropper to the bottle. This helps protect the elixir from contamination and keeps it fresh longer.
You can take Rose Mystica during prayer, meditation, ritual, grief tending, or whenever you want to return to your body and settle into the coherent field of your heart.
Rose Mystica is sweet to the taste and completely alcohol-free.
-
Yes! With the client’s consent, offer 2 to 4 drops before the session to help them arrive in their body and become present within their heart field.
Rose Mystica can also be taken during the session to support emotional harmony, receptivity, and integration as the work unfolds.
Review the ingredients with your client before offering the elixir and ask about any known botanical sensitivities.

You will need a charcoal disc made for burning loose resin, metal tongs, a dedicated charcoal burner or fireproof vessel, and a bed of ash or clean sand.
Place the burner on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from anything flammable. Fill the bottom with ash or clean sand to help contain the heat. Do not use rice because it can scorch and create an unpleasant smell.
Before lighting, hold the charcoal with metal tongs and blow your prayers and intentions onto it. Light the edge of the charcoal, then place it in the prepared burner. Self-lighting charcoal can spark as it ignites, so keep it away from your face, hair, clothing, and anything flammable.
Wait until the surface of the charcoal has turned gray. Add a very small pinch of resin and allow its fragrance and smoke to unfold. Once the resin has finished burning, gently remove the spent material with a metal spoon before adding another small pinch.
The resin can snap, crackle, or pop as it burns. Use it in a well-ventilated space and never leave burning charcoal unattended. Allow the charcoal, ash, and vessel to cool completely before touching, moving, or discarding them.
-
Use a dedicated charcoal burner or a fireproof vessel made from heat-safe clay or metal. Place a bed of ash or clean sand beneath the charcoal to help contain the heat.
The charcoal becomes extremely hot. Place the vessel on a stable, heat-resistant surface and keep it away from anything flammable.
Do not use ordinary glass, delicate ceramics, or decorative dishes that are not designed for sustained heat. They can crack, break, or transfer enough heat to damage the surface beneath them.
-
Each Temple Resin is ground by hand with a mortar and pestle and packaged in a tin for ease of use and travel.
Natural resins respond to temperature. They can soften and become sticky in warmth, then harden again as they cool. Before opening, tap the closed tin firmly against your palm to loosen the blend and move the resin away from the edges.
Keep the rim and inner edge of the tin clean. Resin that gathers there can harden and make the container difficult to open. If this happens, place a small amount of rubbing alcohol on a cloth and wipe the rim and edges clean.
Only use rubbing alcohol when the tin is cool and far away from flame, lit charcoal, sparks, or heat. Keep rubbing alcohol away from open flame or heat. Allow the tin to dry completely before closing it or burning the resin.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
-
Each Temple Resin is ground by hand with a mortar and pestle.
After 35 years of burning herbs and resins, I have found that large pieces often smell beautiful at first and then develop a heavy, scorched scent as they continue to burn. Grinding the ingredients into smaller pieces allows the fragrance to release more evenly and gives you greater control over the amount you burn.
Use only a light sprinkling at a time. Think of it as seasoning the charcoal with salt and pepper. Allow that small amount to finish, gently remove the spent material, and add another light sprinkling as desired.
-
Animals are highly sensitive to smoke, essential oils, and aromatic ingredients. Avoid using Temple Resins and Blessing Waters around animals.
Keep animals out of the room while burning resins or misting Blessing Waters, then ventilate the space before allowing them to return. Never spray a Blessing Water directly onto an animal.
-
No. Every medicine is made by hand in small batches using the finest ingredients available at the time it is created.
The color, fragrance, flavor, texture, and subtle character may vary according to the roses, resins, hydrosols, and other botanicals in each preparation.
No two batches will be exactly alike.
-
Organic ingredients are used whenever they are available and meet the quality required for the medicine.
Wildcrafted botanicals are ethically gathered or sourced with respect for the plant, the land, and the continued health of the plant population. Only what can be received without damaging the plant or diminishing its future growth is taken.
Access to roses, resins, hydrosols, flower essences, and other botanicals changes with the season, harvest, and source. Each formula is created with the finest ingredients available at the time the batch is made.
-
Black UV-protective glass helps shield the botanicals, hydrosols, essential oils, and flower essences within each formula from light exposure. The dark glass supports the integrity of the medicine and creates a durable vessel for your altar, healing room, or travels.
When your medicine is finished, please keep the bottle and reuse it. These are high-quality bottles designed to have a life beyond one formula.
Wash the bottle and closure thoroughly with warm, soapy water, rinse them well, and allow everything to dry completely. You can reuse the bottle for altar water, a personal ceremonial blend, dried herbs, flower essences, or another preparation that is appropriate for the bottle.
Store the bottle upright in a cool place away from direct sunlight, and keep it closed when it is not in use.
-
When your Blessing Water is finished, remove the crystal from the bottle.
The crystal has been held in holy water, flower essences, prayer, and blessing throughout the life of the formula.
You can place it on your altar, carry it with you, add it to a medicine bag, use it in ceremony, or keep it with the bottle when you create your own ceremonial blend.Rose Mystica contains rose quartz, Holy Trinity contains amethyst, and Body of Light contains sunstone.
The crystals are small and are not intended for ingestion. Keep them away from children and animals.
-
Yes. Each medicine can be used on its own or woven together as part of a complete ceremonial experience.
Take Rose Mystica Elixir to receive the medicine of rose within your body. Mist a Blessing Water around yourself, your altar, and your space. Burn a Temple Resin to create, hold, and complete the ceremonial field.
You can choose the medicines according to your intention, the needs of the moment, or the healing work you are holding.
-
Choose the Blessing Water according to the medicine you want to welcome into your life or healing practice.
Rose Mystica supports heart attunement, emotional harmony, healthy boundaries, receptivity, and Divine guidance. Choose it for grief tending, heart-centered practice, and work that asks for softness and emotional presence.
Holy Trinity supports consecration, prayer, spiritual protection, inner listening, and connection with the Divine beings, helping spirits, guides, and Archangels you work with. Choose it when you want to establish a blessed ceremonial field and deepen Divine attunement.
Body of Light supports grounded embodiment, radiant vitality, physical and energetic coherence, and a strong, luminous field. Choose it when you want to bring your spirit fully into your body and remain centered within your own presence.
If you have an in-person healing practice, I recommend having all three available so you can choose the medicine that best serves each client and session.
-
The hydrosols, essential oils, flower essences, salts, and other botanical ingredients may naturally settle or separate while the bottle rests.
Gently shake the bottle before each use to disperse the ingredients throughout the holy water and bring the formula back into coherence.
Natural separation is part of working with small-batch botanical preparations and does not affect the integrity of the medicine.
