Edith Sitwell

Edith Sitwell, 1959 described by Elizabeth Bowen as a 'high altar on the move'.

Edith Sitwell has been whispering to me today...

'As for the usefulness of poetry, its uses are many. It is the deification of reality. It should make our days holy to us. The poet should speak to all men, for a moment, of that other life of theirs that they have smothered and forgotten.'

'I am not eccentric. It's just that I am more alive than most people. I am an unpopular electric eel set in a pond of goldfish.'

Edith Sitwell, photo by George Platt Lynes, 1937
'Why not be oneself? If one is a greyhound, why try to look like a pekingese?'


Said the skeleton lying upon the 
sands of time - 
"The great gold planet that 
is the mourning heat 
of the sun 
Is greater than all gold, more powerful 
Than the tawny body of a lion that fire 
consumes 
Like all that grows or leaps...so 
is the heart.

Kyanite Aura Mist created on the Full Moon Eclipse

On Saturday night just after midnight at the time of the Full Moon Eclipse thunder and lightning illuminated a sky tinged with a red blush. In this energy of wild nature, I created the latest batch of Kyanite Mist Sacred Space & Energy Protector Spray. It was a beautiful experience to prepare the sacred water from the wells in the semi-darkness as the wind and rain swirled through the open window. I kept calling the blue bottles 'my blue ladies' as I measured and poured by candlelight the blend of plant, stone and water essences.

The main ingredient of the Aura Mist is the wonderfully protective and cleansing gem essence of desert Kyanite gathered from Northern Territory gifted to me by my dear friend and wild Earth Woman, Martina of Nature's Art Melbourne. The medicine of the stone Kyanite is one of keeping your own 'essence' - free of any other energy. It has the power of never needing any cleansing, it simply will not retain any negative energy from anyone or thing and I think this is particularly needed in these changing times - not to shield ourselves but to remain in our own unique and authentic essence.

The generous Lilly Pilly tree that shared her medicine and essence

For the first time I have also added the Australian plant essence of Lilly Pilly. The Lilly Pilly is a rainforest plant known for creating balance in energy fields and can sweep clutter from the body and psyche. Lilly Pilly brings a lightness to the body and space around us. I also created the Lilly Pilly plant essence over the weekend of the eclipse. Added to these healing waters are the pure essential oils of Lavender, Rose Geranium & Bergamot.

Many of you may still be feeling the energy of the Full Moon Eclipse as the transformation continues to move through us over the next couple of weeks. I'm finding this Full Moon Kyanite Mist is quietly and calmly keeping the space around me clear of confusion and clutter, enabling me to keep dreaming in new ideas for change and growth for next year. I spray it not only around my rooms but all over my body - the smell and feel is nurturing and grounding.

I have just 10 bottles of this Full Moon Eclipse Kyanite Aura Mist left after filling orders so please let me know as soon as you can if any of these 'blue ladies' are calling to you, the cost is $25 each including postage.

Waterfalls of love,

Julia

New Essences - Kyanite Mist & Healing the Divine Feminine

Hello Everyone,

Well I'm about to fly off to Queensland to work with some fantastic shamanic astrologers at the Black Moon Lilith retreat and will be back in Melbourne after 17th November. Before I go I wanted to let you know that I have heard your requests for an Energy Protector Aura Mist! 


I have combined the beautiful healing water from the wells in Wombat Forest with an essence created from very powerful Kyanite crystals gifted to me by the wonderful Martina of Nature's Art Melbourne (link). She is the maker of many of my beautiful shamanic tools and stone jewellery. This beautiful Earth Woman found these Kyanite stones in the desert in the Northern Territory (never mined or drilled out of the earth but sitting on top of the ground) - Kyanite is a stone that dispels any negativity and helps us to retain our own authentic essence - perfect! I have also combined this with organic essential oils. This mist is perfect for spraying on your body (and is wonderfully cooling) and spraying in your healing spaces or workplaces - wherever you feel the need to clear the air.

The Kyanite Mist is $25 plus postage - I have only 6 bottles left as they have already been purchased by many of our students, so please let me know if you'd like to take on of them and I will prepare it for you before I leave. I have also created a new plant and water essence for Healing the Divine Feminine made from Violet & Wisteria - these essences are $15 and are available with the Sacred Space Essence & Sacred Fire Essence. 

Warm Wishes of Divine FLow for you all, Julia xxx
