Celestial Waters for Earthly Living

The Radiant Threshold (Summer Capsule Collection)

 

Born from the warmth of the sun, the wild breath of blossoms, and the slow dance of fire and water, Cele​stial Waters for Earthly Living is a celebration of deep, quiet nurturance — an invitation to pause, soften, and immerse yourself in the timeless beauty that exists both within and around us.

 

This capsule collection, The Radiant Threshold, exists at the edges — where the world of light bends into shadow, where the fire of the sun meets the coolness of water, and where the veil between worlds becomes thin. It is a reflection of the liminal spaces in Irish cosmology, where the spirit moves between realms, and transformation is both mystery and unfolding. These essences are for those who walk with intention, who listen to the pulse of the earth, and who move through the day with one foot in the mythic, one in the present.

 

Crafted in midsummer, the season when the sun hangs long and languid in the sky, when the air is full of the soft scent of blooming flowers, this collection speaks of warmth without harshness, light without sharp edges. It is beauty that settles like sunlight upon your skin, a radiance that lingers, a balm for the soul and body alike.

 

Each ritual bath essence is slowly distilled with devotion, in small batches, with deep care. Every plant has been nurtured from seed in our own garden or gathered with reverence and gratitude from the land surrounding us — always with presence, humility, and the wisdom of the earth in our hearts. This is the medicine of rooted connection — biodynamic, organic, and woven from the ancient ways. Each essence carries the energy of flowers, crystals, and Celtic tree spirits, infusing your ritual bathing with an added layer of depth — a reminder of the sacredness that surrounds and flows through us. Woven into each essence are the subtle vibrations of love, harmony, unity, grace, humility, tenderness, and renewal — gentle energies that cradle you into the rhythm of healing. As the season of fire and flowers unfolds, of pattern recognition and energetic awareness, we have imbued these waters with the sacred geometry of the Flower of Life, inviting balance, alignment, and a sense of wholeness that whispers softly through each ritual.

 

Each 250ml bottle is lovingly adorned with a textured clay body, hand-crafted from wild clay, crystals, minerals, and earth pigments. The colours echo the hues of the sun as it arcs across the sky — from the first blush of dawn, to the golden warmth of midday, to the deep amber hues of dusk. A visual homage to the season, this tactile connection to the earth’s palette aligns with our summer theme: Trailing Beauty — the soft imprint of light, the quiet art of care, the beauty that weaves through every moment.

 

In the old Irish myths, water is both a portal and a vessel, holding mystery in its depths; fire is the keeper of transformation, the spark that kindles life. These essences honour that ancient meeting — where heat turns to healing, where light becomes touch, where earth and sky come together. They invite you to step into your own radiant threshold — a space where you are soothed, awakened, softened, and restored.

 

WILD ROSE – A tribute to the untamed heart. This essence is a song of five native wild rose species, gathered from sunlit edges and secret hedgerows. It invites the heart to soften, to heal, and to bloom in its wildness — a quiet reminder that beauty grows from the earth’s most sacred corners.

 

CLARY SAGE – The seer’s plant, the guardian of clear seeing. Grown in the heart of our garden and distilled beneath the rising summer moon, this essence sharpens the senses, steadies the spirit, and kindles a quiet fire within. It is a companion for those who seek clarity, strength, and inner knowing.

 

LINDEN BLOSSOM – Gathered from the shade of towering linden trees, this soft, sweet essence offers comfort and peace. It cools the heart and soothes the overburdened mind, inviting stillness and rest. A bath in its presence is like a summer breeze — gentle, restorative, and full of grace.

 

ORANGE FLOWER – Gathered from sun-drenched blossoms in our garden, this essence is a burst of joy and vitality. It reminds us that beauty is a gift to be received with open hands, that the sweetness of life can be savoured in every breath. Bright, harmonising, and full of light, it softens the edges of the day and lifts the spirit.

 

LAVENDER – A plant as old as the hills, lavender brings protection and release. Grown in the warmth of our garden, this essence offers rest for the mind and peace for the soul. It is the dreamweaver’s gift — a companion for those in need of gentle boundaries, sweet sleep, and calm, quiet spaces.

 

Together, these five bath essences weave a tapestry of care, a sacred offering for ritual bathing and the art of self-tending. They are the dreamscapes of summer, waters that call to the old ways, that whisper of myths and memories long held in the land. This collection invites you to step — slowly, gently — into The Radiant Threshold, where the boundaries between worlds dissolve and you are held, deeply, in light and love.

 

___


This collection of ritual bathing offerings are made with floral waters, and sacred site essences from sacred wells, waterfalls, springs, and revered bodies of waters to the south (south is the direction of fire on our medicine wheel).

 

To Use:

This fragrant fluid prayer is made from pure floral waters (hydrosols) and created to add to your bathing water so that you may be lovingly held by its energetic signature. The crystal and mineral powders inside are superfine (and non toxic), and can travel onwards with your bath water when you are finished without impeding flow in any way.

 

Each comes to you in a beautiful large recycled glass bottle, encrusted with a highly textured natural structural paste that I created from hand gathered wild clays, fine crystal powders, wildflower pigments, and minerals. Each is adorned with a mini posey of wild lunar botanicals, and a hand written plant fiber paper label embossed with our Celtic Wheel of the Year mandala art. These are lovingly held in place with a beautiful plant fiber cordage made from mugwort and rose.
