Fragrant greetings on this first day of August,

A larger edition of the Myrrhophore anointing oil is now available for purchase and will begin shipping on Monday. If you are new to this newsletter, head on over to Wandering the Wonderland, to read a rather epic post about this collaboration.

Thank you for the continued support of my work, wafting gratitude and love from my heart to each of you.


I bow, acknowledge and offer gratitude, respect & love to Oghá P'o'oge, the land here that I call home and create on. The name comes from the Tewa people and means "white shell water place.". The first known ancestral people of the area were here in about 1050 to 1150, but abandoned it around 200 years before the Spanish arrived.

In 1610, Spanish governor Don Pedro de Peralta renamed the area Villa Real de la Santa Fé de San Francisco de Asís, which translates to "Royal Town of the Holy Faith of Saint Francis of Assisi". The name "Santa Fe" is Spanish for "Holy Faith".
