Civaux, the waters taken on the northwest bank of the river Vienne just at the entrance to the village. Civaux is an ancient Celtic/pagan shrine and pilgrimage site (Rue de La Biche) and just north of the ancient Roman town of Lussac Les Chateaux which is surrounded my Mesolithic, Neolithic, Magdelenien and Neanderthal cave, ritual, and living sites. These have been overlaid by ancient shrines to Celtic goddesses, Roman goddesses, and then to Christ. The site at Civaux was just this, a celtic, then Roman and then a Christian religious site. The Church at Civaux contains one of the few representations of the Melusine herself. In the 1980s the site was selected as the site for a large nuclear reactor/power plant, as a quiet waterside village (the river water is used to help cool the twin towers), and to everyone’s astonishment, a huge cemetery, built-in Merovingian times: the third and 4^th centuries AD was, uncovered. Over 4 km long and with in excess of 4,000 stone sarcophagi. A staggering site. As an addition to the nuclear power station, a crocodile farm and aquatic center with 50-meter diving pool was additionally built also utilising the abundance of hot water from the towers. It is indeed an awesome site.

This essence is all by thought consciousness, Understanding. The identity is universal.

It’s demon would be attachment and in its development, it would be about the assimilation of knowledge and the development of wisdom. Its purpose is understanding, consciousness, awareness, belief systems, and transcendence. The ability to perceive and be aware to be open minded and question, a greater sense of spirituality and broader understanding. In its trauma, it would manifest as blind obedience, misinformation, education that towards curiosity. This essence allows one to reestablish the physical and emotional connection with spirit to examine one belief to examine, to examine one’s beliefs and to develop an inner witness.

I am I am whole, complete and total unto myself, everything and everyone is part of myself. It is all perfect. The body is totally at rest. And still, the energy is quiet and calm. The mind is clear and empty here totally aware. Life is it is an all as well.

This essence is all about awareness over effort. It is for those who are unable to function in society due to overwhelming emotion; for those who are depressed, and have a fear of illness. It helps to hold the essence when you are so low in energy that you can’t think or speak or even seem to feel. It helps to wear the remedy when you feel like you are losing your mind, losing grounding within one’s soul being. It helps those who are stagnant, who are stuck and have no flow, having lost one’s sparkle. It is for people who cannot be inside, who need to be outdoors in nature. It is also for those who feel like they can’t get clean which is generally linked to parasites in the system. It is for when you are feeling really full and have a desire to be alone. The world is too much to bear sometimes for light beings. There is a deep chest pain with this heartache.

There is a stillness to the winter solstice, a deep exhale that allows one to contemplate the silence. This essence is about listening, silence and everything that an exhale allows; a letting go, particularly of judgment and control. This essence is very helpful when holding space for other people or the landscape without trying to have any influence over the outcome. When we hold space for others, we can open our hearts, offer unconditional support, and let go of judgment and control. This essence is for those who prefer protected safe places that you can control wherever possible. This means that you generally don’t like people coming over uninvited and that you have firm internal rules about what is a safe place, and what isn’t. Your idea of safety can be quite stringent compared to that of others and is often anchored more to protected places, than to certain people. In addition, you will regularly seek out seclusion in order to find nourishment, wisdom or energy. Conditions are optimum when your safe place is also a space where you are guaranteed seclusion. The essence which is best worn around your neck when needed for long periods, allows for this feeling of safe space to be with you in the more trying times.

San Juan Essence: For deep physical pain which comes from the polluted waters in all its forms, the pain of watching one’s water source become polluted, the pain one would feel after drinking it or washing in it.

Its strong heart-based essence helps release your fears, which are sometimes disguised as toxic emotions like anger or resentment.

There is a mix of Cedar from a ceremony in this essence.

Cedar Essence: Hope embodied. It is an essence of transformation to be used on the land as well as for people. It helps to lift off dark and heavy thoughts and feelings and to bring a lightness to your being. It is also for those who listen but do not hear. It is a spinal essence for ascending energy and brings structural support to the body as well as the soil.

This water was collected while traveling with the Land Arts of the American West Program, as part of the University of NewMexico’s Art & Ecology Program. At that time the artists of Land Arts were staying with the Dine people and had the great fortune of getting to work with and learn from indigenous elders and educators.

While there, we learned of an environmental catastrophe that occurred in August 2015, when workers from the US Environmental Protection Agency mistakenly punctured a holding tank of mine tailings at the Gold King Mine in Silverton, Colorado, releasing over 3 million gallons of toxic waste into the Animas River, a tributary of the San Juan River that runs through Navajo Nation and nourishes all aspects of life. The spill greatly damaged the environment, as the released waste contained thousands of pounds of dangerous and highly toxic heavy metals.

The impact was felt deeply by the local indigenous Diné people, who not only rely on the San Juan River for drinkingand crop irrigation but also view water as a living being integral to their community and way of life. As farms went fallow and losses accrued on the Navajo Nation, their very spiritual belief system and world view were compromised because they were not able to use water from the river.
