Curious Aroma : Lavendar and Copal "Aroma Therapy"

The Chosen Ones

The "Aroma Therapy" benefits of Lavender and Copal Amber

  Lavandula, genus and home to 47 known species of flowering plants from the mint family. As we like to refer to such herb as Lavender, Lavender is naturally cultivated in Eastern Africa and places like Cape Verde. Did you know, well maybe you didn't just as I had not known, that Lavender is useful as a natural, herbal, integrative medicine? Integrative is a term used in "Holistic Herbal Medicine" to describe a combination of healing practices that take account for the whole physical and metaphysical aspect of life. Lavender has a relaxing, calming affect when used during aromatherapy. In combination with Lavender herb I like to add copal to my cauldron. Copal is a resin substance that comes from tropical trees, Copal is Copalli in Nahuatli language meaning incense. Copal is often used as ceremonial incense for spiritual cleansing and opening of the soul. Mixing the two natural substances of nature allows for one to rid themselves of negative energy, anxiety and scattered energy.

CRYSTAL TALK: Amethyst "The Beginning"

The Chosen Theory
Amethyst


     The Amethyst is a common crystal and its chemical makeup is Silicon and Oxygen which together makes up Silicon Dioxide (SiO2). What does this means, well the Amethyst is a combination of a alkaline earth metal and oxygen. Once it is birthed from the earth through geological features it is then considered to be Silicon Dioxide. This crystal in particular can be light to dark purple, sometimes mixed with citrine. The Amethyst crystal can appear in many different shapes and sizes. The Amethyst featured in the photograph above are transparent, sort of pointed Amethyst crystals, it can also come in the shape of a geode, cluster or single point. Tanks for accessing the rock geology of Amethyst with me, stay tuned for the next "Crystal Talk" Amethyst, "Healing properties and attributes" edition.
