Divination list is inspired by the subtle art of seeing beyond: the intuitive, the symbolic, and the unseen. A more modern interpretation of divination connects it not only to mysticism but also to psychology. Today, some psychotherapists incorporate tools like Tarot cards into their sessions, recognizing the value of archetypes and intuitive insight in the healing process. However deeply or lightly you engage with clairvoyant practices, they can offer profound benefits for the psyche. Tuning in to symbolic language, inner imagery, and intuitive knowing can bring clarity, emotional release, and expanded self-awareness.
Dreamwork includes short prompts and essential oil recommendations to guide you to uncover the wisdom within your dreams, bridging the gap between the unconscious and waking life. Dreaming, lucid dreaming, out-of-body experiences, deep meditative states, psychedelic journeys, and other altered states of consciousness may all be connected, interwoven doorways into the same vast, hidden reality. According to both scientists and spiritual teachers, these states offer glimpses into the subconscious, the mystical, and the unknown, as well as the nature of reality itself. To navigate them with awareness, we must learn to observe, reflect, and integrate their messages. Journaling is one of the most powerful tools for this exploration, allowing us to map the unseen, recognise patterns, and engage with these experiences more deeply.
Forbidden Aromatics: Not all botanicals are safe for the diffuser, bath, or skin, some, though fragrant and rich in spiritual lineage, are dangerously toxic. Once used in healing, perfumery, and ritual, these plants now fall outside modern safety frameworks, surviving instead as symbolic presences in mystical, ancestral, or magical traditions. Known at times as witches’ plants, they embody a dark and complex duality, feared in medicine yet celebrated in rite, and remain compelling for their layered history and enduring presence in ritual imagination. To be used on altars or for their vibrational presence.
Hearth & Smoke Aromatic Ritual is a Pagan-inspired practice for cleansing, protection, and inner renewal. The hearth has always been the heart of the home, a place where fire protects, nourishes, and transforms. The hearthstone (from the Latin focus, meaning center) was seen as the heart of the home, holding the fire that protected, nourished, and gathered the household together. Across cultures, smoke was used to drive away harmful spirits, honor the household gods, and invite blessings. This ritual draws on the wisdom of Pagan traditions and offers a simple practice for cleansing, protection, and inner renewal. It can be performed with fire or a candle and herbs, using a ceramic bowl or dish gently warmed by a candle for aromatherapy, or through anointing with oils.
Siberian Smoke ritual blend with sacred aromatics can be adapted for perfume oil, incense, smudging, or altar offerings. Not all aromatics are suitable for every method, but each can be incorporated into your practice in its own way. You might use the recipe as it is, or draw inspiration from it to create your own formulas, reimagining a traditional ritual blend through your personal lens. This is a traditional blend drawn from ethnobotanical sources. If applying to skin, please follow the maximum dermal limits for each aromatic where applicable. When using as incense or smudge, ensure proper ventilation, and keep children and pets away from the smoke.
Meditations on Scent is part of a contemplative practice called Reflective Aromatherapy, a quiet merging of scent and self-inquiry. Each session centers around a single essential oil and unfolds through gentle journaling, somatic awareness, and emotional reflection. The scent becomes both guide and companion, inviting you into deeper connection with your body, emotions, and inner life. These practices are ideal for use in ritual, therapeutic work, or as a personal space of grounding and integration. Here, we work exclusively with sacred natural aromatics, pure plant extracts that carry deep symbolic, sensory, and emotional resonance. These are not only pleasant fragrances, but living materials that have been revered across cultures for their healing, spiritual, and transformative properties. By engaging with these potent botanicals, each meditation becomes a doorway into presence and inner healing.
