Sacred Ceremony Ritual Bathing Oil

Created to enhance water based meditative and introspective practices, these sacred plant allies are used internationally for sacred ceremonies. Ritual bathing was a form of purification and cleansing. Baptism is a spiritual rebirthing ceremony, cleansing the Christian of Original Sin. Muslims bathed 5 times a day to ceremonially cleanse impurities. The Hindus bathed in the Ganges believing it was holy. Many traditions added essential oils to the ritual bath water believing that the oils added a more sacred aspect to the ritual, especially if there was a spiritual transformation happening.

The Blue Lotus in Buddhism is the symbol of the victory of the spirit over the senses, of intelligence and wisdom, of knowledge. It is generally represented as a partially opened bud, whose center is unseen, the embodiment of the “perfection of wisdom”. The Lotus flower is regarded in many different cultures, especially in eastern religions, as a symbol of purity, enlightenment, self-regeneration and rebirth. Its characteristics are a perfect analogy for the human condition: even when its roots are in the dirtiest waters, the Lotus produces the most beautiful flower. And it has rightfully earned its place in the history books as one of the most wonderful and significant flowers we have access to. The blue lotus provides a mild sense of tranquility and euphoria, along with an altered sense of awareness. Blue lotus is used for its ability to enhance meditative and introspective practices. Some also report a pleasant feeling of warmth around the head and upper body and a dream like feeling, as if life itself were a waking dream.

Sweet Gale (Bog Myrtle, Myrica Gale) is a rare herb that has a long history of use as a culinary spice due to its natural sweet, succulent aroma. This powerful plant ally  is especially useful for sacred ceremonies, Shamanic journey work, meditation, deep relaxation and lucid dreaming. Some believed bog myrtle to have magical properties and it is said to have been a constituent of a drink concocted by Norse warriors to make them fearless and fearsome in battle. They became known as the Berserkers and were said to fight in an uncontrollable trance-like fury. These Úlfhéðnar were known as Odin’s own warriors.
