This year's ritual colour offering is the WILD NATIVE MEDICINAL PLANT MASTERS watercolour paint set, set in a beautiful snowfallen Birch paint palette engraved with my botanical wheel of the year prayer mandala.
These botanical watercolour paints are made from wild native medicinal plants of the Summer Solstice, created for those interested in talismanic art and ritual practices, land based art, wild organic colour, sustainable art, herbalism, sigil magic, art journaling and more.
Due to my sustainable and zero waste approach with all and the way I make these botanical paints, this collection has been four years in the making. It is both a lovesong and an ode to my green colleagues, and this beautiful planet.
This listing is for one WILD NATIVE MEDICINAL PLANT MASTERS watercolour paint palette. Each one comes with a handmade hand stamped botanical colour swatch (see video). Each palette contains the following sustainably handcrafted botanical watercolour paints:
- Mugwort Leaf
- Calendula
- Wild Rose
- St. John's Wort
- Oak (made with leaf and acorn caps)
- Poppy
- Wild Sweetgrass
- Woad
I'm gifting white and black shell paint pots with these sets, for equilibrium. The white is made from Selenite I hand gathered in Ibiza a few years ago, the black is 'bone black' created from a fox pelvis that found me early last year. It was ritually burned in the solstice fire last June and this paint made from the charred remains. In Celtic tradition, fox gifted fire to humanity and as such, relates with the south, summer, and fire element in our indigenous medicine wheel.
I create a ritual colour collection each summer, and this is this year's offering. Previous years have focused on ritual body colour, this year is a nod to illuminated manuscripts and the heART of creative meditation.
Why do I release colour collections each summer? Because summer is fire element, and fire element relates with colour, creativity, proactive embodied rituals, inner child healing and visual stimulus amongst other virtues.
Two sizes are available, please choose the size you wish to purchase from the drop down menu. Each palette has eight colours (honouring the 8 festivals in the Celtic Wheel of the Year).
A personal note on the price - I am aware that these are vastly underpriced, however it is important to me personally that this offering remain as financially accessible as possible to those who feel drawn to work with them. Doing so is my way of honouring this ancient art, and seeing YOU for the path you walk and the work you are practively doing. Too few people are engaged in this deep form of ritual work in these fast modern days, so I hope that this might encourage more to consider it.
WILD NATIVE MEDICINAL PLANT MASTERS Botanical Watercolour Paint Palettes
My personal practice is to walk lightly, and this is reflected in all that I do, including what is available via this online shop (and in person). All offerings are made from seasonal, sustainably hand harvested local native plants, flowers, resins, our medicinal plant tinctures, extracts, our tree, flower, mushroom and crystal essences and much more. Absolutely every single ingredients is gathered by me, crafted by me, packed and shipped by me, nobody else touches them. This is something I am very 'strict' about, and for good reason too as it relates with energetic integrity and ritual creation. This is why I 'work' ritually, in silence, and alone at all times and at all stages in the process.
