This listing is for one jar of Rosehip, Hawthorn Berry & Crab Apple Electuary (in Blackberry Flower Raw Honey), from The heART of Ritual.
 
Among the many benefits of these ingredients, this delicious medicinal blend is rich in wild sources of vitamin c and antioxidants. These ingredients are anti-viral, anti-bacterial, immune boosting, support heart health, and soothe inflamation.
 
Fellow ritualists might like to be made aware of the fact that this soulFOOD is not alone medicinal, but it is a 'Thorn Medicine' - the rose, hawthorn and crab apple are all thorny plant colleagues (our wild native apple, the crab apple, is the only untamed wild apple and she still has her thorns on her!). The raw honey is blackberry blossom, and the bramble is a thorny plant too. So all in all it's very worthwhile noting that this earth element offering is far more than 'merely' a medicinal electuary for winter health, but a potent gathering of four (4 = earth element) potent thorn medicine colleagues with very important teachings for us all where discernment and boundaries are concerned! ;-)
 
This incredible raw honey is SO good by the spoonful, so whatever way you decide to work with it, please do ensure you taste it on its own at least once so that you can appreciate its flavors! If you are going to add it to herb teas etc, please be sure that the water is not boiling or you will spoil the medicinal benefits of the raw honey itself.

This formula is intended to be taken as a daily tonic, either by the spoonful or added to a cup of warm water (and drunk as a tea). I recommend one generous teaspoon daily, but once you taste it you might end up eating the entire jar immediately!
 
This raw honey is from a wonderful native bee husband (and beekeeping teacher) that I met in West Cork, who loves and cares for 25 hives in and around the mountains of Bantry Bay. I was lucky enough to receive an invitation to visit his home where he showed me his 'honey room', the space in which he gathers the combs and extracts the honey by hand. I was tickled by the fact that he leaves a window open in the room at all times for the bees to fly in and out as they please, something that I found deeply touching. I love this very natural method of working harmoniously with the bees and how he extracts the honey from the comb, he even removes a small part of the comb from each frame and returns the rest to the hive for the bees to build upon again. His lifes work with bees is so intimate and respectful and the bees reciprocate! It was a blessing to meet him and to receive this heavenly blackberry blossom raw honey which forms the medicinal base of this herbal electuary.
