Glacial Glenade Water Orb – Ireland

The Hawaii waters are light and effervescent and sparkly, a very light essence in all its meanings.

It is almost like the bubbles in the wave of the sea, the absolute joy of the energy coming to meet the land. These waters were collected by Grandmothers in ceremony and were gifted to me to create this essence.

The contradiction of a remedy made from water and diluted with itself presents interesting questions around the uses and permutations of a landscape whose energy-fields mediate and co-exist with the human body.

This essence reflects on the ephemeral and delicate sense of loss, causing us to contemplate on the 
contemporary environment we find ourselves in. We are living in world where we only see the tip of the iceberg, big energy in little spaces. Somehow there is a vivid burst of brilliance, like fireworks, a healing light in a hazy apparition.

This elemental essence is truly female energy, it supports one through the transition to Crone with wisdom and joy. It works with the heart center, a powerful female essence to allow things no longer needed in ones energy field to just drop away. It brings about a deep belief within oneself. Sensory perception and judgment are themes within this essence.

It bridges the place between the vale of tears and the gathering place.

Being born through volcanic waters in Hawaii this essence is a sensual essence and brings through a cosmic memory through the rising energy.

Fairy Glen well water essence – Knocknarae Sligo

An essence of survival and transformation

This well sits beside a large natural sheltered magical valley in the south side of Knocknarea. The Glen was potentially formed by a fault-line in the mountain while the glaciers were sculpting the landscape during the last ice age.

This glen/valley is near the sacred hill of Knocknarea where the ancient queen Maeve of Ireland is buried on top. There is archaeological evidence that suggests our ancestors carved rock from this glen thousands of years ago to use as Dolmen tombs across County Sligo, Ireland.

This essence is all about love and balance, self acceptance and intimacy. There is a connection to deep grief with oneself and a compassion within this. It helps to balance within one almost where we are as a society: antisocial, withdrawn, critical and judgmental, lonely and isolated. Unacknowledged grief, arising from divorce, death, loveless environments, conditional love and betrayal are all things that can lead us to believe in this lack within oneself.

There is an infinite supply of love in the world, and when we are loving to ourselves this ripples out and back in the world helping us to live in harmony with others.

It is a deeply transformative essence of fire. An essence of self definition, establishment of autonomy . There is a wanting within those who will benefit from this essence for security, safety, to protect others, to defend to be safe in the world and ourselves. There is almost a fear of life, a fear of engagement with its true love and magic.

Soon after coming to the slope of the hill you meet one of the queerest, wildest, and most beautiful of glens. It is a wondrously romantic freak of nature planted there in a cleft in the rock and walled off from the world, as if the Great Mother meant to lock it up and hide it away for her own use. It is thickly wooded, narrow and deep. The trees meet over the path in places, and the ferns touch you as you pass. The spirits of Knocknarea must love it. One can fancy how they made it their own centuries ago. A mystic poet might dream his life away in it, holding communication with the hero-dead of Connacht.”

William Bulfin in 1903

Tobernalt Holy Well Sligo
Tobernalt—the Well of the Cliff—between Carns Hill and Lough Gill

There is a deep shift to the feminine with the essence, a profound clearing of the patriarchal energy and a standing in ones own power. The darker side of the feminine, the dark moon, the womb energy, the transformation in our bodies and breath. This is a potent mystical force that is not to be feared.

This essence is about the foundations of your roots, the body. Grounding nourishment and trust within one self. It can help one to be confortable in their body and to feel safe and secure. There is a stability that emerges from wearing the essence.

“The well rises from a powerful and fast-flowing spring, and it’s water is said to have healing properties with cures for both eyesight and madness. The origins of the ‘madness’ cure may has something to do with Maeve the Goddess of Knocknarea, whose name means ‘The Intoxicating One’, or possibly the legends of Sweeney the Mad King who is associated with the Cailleach at Sliabh Dá Eán to the south.”

Inherited traumas are helped to release and a reconnection with the physical body comes through, touch and a connection to oneself through gentle movement such as yoga.
Reclaiming the right to be here, in our bodies and recognizing what a gift from spirit this is.

There can be a fear of being out of control, to change, to manipulate to have it our way and to fix,this can also appear as one being manipulated , constantly giving in, following others and being the victim. Fear or paranoia can cause the chi to descend, resulting in kidney and lower back issues where emotions are ever present.

It helps one to be immersed in abundance and love ones body with trust and wisdom.
