Flowering Crown Ceremonial Blend *Currently Out of Stock*

In ceremonies across many cultures, offerings are traditionally made with prayers an intentions. We give something precious in order to show earnestness of our prayer, request, or as a sign of gratitude.

This sweet and fragrant blend was created originally as an offering I used in haircutting ceremonies to gift back to the earth with cut hair. In shamanic tradition, a Despacho (prayer bundle/gratitude offering) may include human hair as a symbol of the preciousness of our animal bodies, and the impermanence of our human experiences. It seemed appropriate to me to offer flowers— fleetingly vibrant expressions of beauty and wonder, as an offering in ritual beauty treatments.

As I shared this blend, I began to use it in other forms. First, adding it to my own ritual bathes, trying it as tea, and steeping for aromatic herbal hair rinses. From your feedback and requests, I am now making it available for you to use in your own ritual crafting in these and other ways you may feel inspired!
