Herbal intention, or "blessing" bottles have existed in European and early American history & folklore for centuries! Legend has it that Celtic faeries in Aurthurian times first bestowed them as gifts! They were lovingly created from the bounty of castle or faery gardens and given to friends & loved ones for protection and good wishes. We've renewed this quaint, ancient tradition and offer them to you with the brightest of blessings and magic associated with each botanical! Includes faery blessings for.....lasting friendship, love always in your life, joy and happiness, protection from gossip, wishes to come true, peace and tranquility, admiration and respect. Each apothecary bottle contains 7 separate layers of organically-grown magic herbs or botanicals, is corked and dipped in forest-green sealing wax (to protect potency of the magic), tied with a sheer royal purple ribbon. A parchment tag is tied to each bottle that includes (on the back) the above description and the magical meaning of each botanical! The label also features a Wild Oaks Art faery! Each bottle is 6"-tall and weighs 9.5 oz.
Our sister company, Simply Soap, teamed up with Wild Oaks Art to create the following WYLDE soap line!
For art featured on soap labels, you can click the photo and it will take you to where prints are available!
Nooks, crannies and leafy
patches tangled with fern, moss and magical mushrooms are all natural gathering
spots for faeries and faerie rings! This deliciously green-scented
soap with real maidenhair fern, oakmoss, and dried mushroom powder smells
of fresh forest gatherings so clean and exhilarating you can't stop
smelling yourself! Faeries will surely want a whiff of you, too, and
may just track YOU down if you smell of their favorite enchanted grounds!
Ingredients: Saponified palm kernel, coconut, olive
and castor oils, superfat-enriched with avocado oil, scented with
essential oils & fragrance, dried and ground fern, moss & mushroom,
mineral colorant.
An enchanted cottage, garden, or glade is easy to identify if clinging with bright orange and yellow nasturtium flowers & edible vines, smiling giant sunflowers, and puffs of dandelions all about! Faeries LOVE to dance on the soft heads of dandelions! A scent of freshly cut and gathered flowers in this soap filled with ground dandelion leaf, nasturtium petals, and skin-enriching sunflower oil to brighten your bath! Ingredients: Saponified palm kernel, coconut, olive and castor oils, superfat-enriched with sunflower oil, scented with essential oils & fragrance, dried and ground sunflower, calendula and nasturtium petals, and dandelion leaf.
Beautiful blue to purple
flowers....lilac has musical qualities and attracts singing faeries who
help to harmonize your life. Faeries are also known to make wine
from the nectar of lilac blossoms, they like it so well. Violet is a sacred flower, revered by
the Faerie Queen herself! Picking the first violets of Spring
assures watchfulness and assistance in your life from the Faerie Realm.
Blue Vervain is also sacred to faeries and using it in your bathwater is
said to induce dreams of, and map guidance to Faerie Land!
I
Fairies are partial to anything
sweet and seductive, and jasmine and orange blossom are a perfect marriage
of tangy intoxicating nectars! The heady aroma in my own backyard of these two
flowers convinced me I simply must blend them into soap for nothing is quite so
seductive to faeries as a full moon night with jasmine and
orange blossom wafting on the air! This luscious soap is sprinkled with real
jasmine and orange blossoms.
Ingredients: Saponified palm kernel, coconut, olive and castor oils,
superfat-enriched with avocado oil, scented with essential oils &
fragrance, dried and ground jasmine & orange blossom petals.
Roses are another most sacred flower
among the fae, inducing love, and helping you attune to the gifts of
telepathy and divination. Lavender is well-known for it's healing
and magical properties believed to be caused by the strong faerie activity
surrounding it where it grows; lavender's gifts of protection from evil
are strong! Faeries are drawn to honeysuckle by it's power to
stimulate dreams and awaken psychic energy. Together these potent
flower petals, scents, and their magical properties make a powerful attractant to faeries!
Use prior to approaching them, ESPECIALLY during "tween times"...dawn, dusk, noon,
midnight, and equinoxes & solstices; times which are not distinct or
definable, they are in-between.
Ingredients: Saponified palm kernel, coconut, olive
and castor oils, superfat-enriched with avocado oil, scented with
essential oils & fragrance, dried rose petals and lavender buds,
cosmetic-grade mica colorant.
Faeries are known for having
quite a sweet tooth! They also have their own secret code for
rituals, celebrations and making new acquaintances. For example...as
much as they love a beautiful and fragrant garden to play in, they find it
wisest not to enter the garden inhabited by humans, unless
invited, awaiting a show of kindness as proof that you mean them no
harm. The surest way to display a warm and open invitation to your
garden fairies and perhaps capture a glimpse, is to set out for them an
offering of sweets, their favorite being milk, honey and anything vanilla!
They prefer tiny cups and saucers spread on a linen cloth, and a
sprig of thyme is sure to show them you are "friend", in-tune with the
ways of the fae. Smelling sweetly of milk, honey and vanilla
yourself surely cannot hurt either and if truly blessed, you may be lucky
enough to have one alight upon you! We highly recommend using
this soap just before gloaming (dusk) when garden dew is gathering, and when the veil betwixt two worlds is
thinnest so your chances of sighting faeries greatest! This scent
blend will
induce the sweetest of dreams for your wee ones as well, as they sail off
to the Land of Nod. Enriched with honey, goatmilk, and ground oats
to soothe itchy-prone skin. (Naturally brown in color from the vanilla
oil.)
Ingredients: Saponified palm kernel, coconut, olive and castor oils,
superfat-enriched with goatmilk, scented with essential oils &
fragrance, honey, ground & whole oats.
The hawthorn tree is one of three magic trees faeries notoriously group to, (the others are the mighty oak and ash trees) and a grouping of all three trees is sure to attract a major Faerie-Fest! This soap contains hawthorn leaf and flowers, soothing feverfew herb (for red or itchy skin), and daisy petals - one of faeries' FAVORITE flowers! Did you know that if you wear a daisy chain of flowers around your head, it protects you from tricksy faeries? And a bath in daisy flower water is said to supply the same protection, as well as lure non-tricksy fae...they CAN'T resist! UNSCENTED! Just the pure natural scent of soap & herbs.
An excellent soap for babies who
should not be exposed to fragrance or essential oils prior to 12 months of
age....or those with any scent sensitivities.
Ingredients: Saponified palm kernel, coconut, olive and castor oils,
superfat-enriched with avocado oil, ground hawthorn leaf & flowers,
ground feverfew herb, daisy and calendula petals. UNSCENTED.

Be aware...there are good faeries full of love and light who only seek to help and inspire you.... and then there are bad faeries who are tricksy and find no greater pleasure than teasing and tormenting humans, purely for sport! The following are clues that you are in the vicinity of faeries or where they frequently inhabit!
Dawn, Dusk (Gloaming), Noon, Midnight, Equinoxes & Solstices.
(Seek out "tween" places)
