Blue Lotus Anointing Oil

Pure Cold-pressed Sweet Almond Oil (Prunus amygdalus dulcis) · Whole Organic Blue Lotus Flower (Nymphaea Caerulea) ·

Soaked for a whole lunar cycle. Prayed over, sat with, sung over, and held with care through the entire lunar cycle.

This is not a perfume. It is an oil for ritual touch, the drop that marks a threshold.

Blue lotus has anointed temples for three thousand years. She is the flower of the night waters, opener of dreams, companion of the sun's return. She sings of rebirth through courageous, present descent. She closes into darkness each evening and rises open at dawn: descent and return, held in one body. This is her medicine. She walks with grief the way she walks with night, unafraid of the dark passage and certain of morning. And she opens what has been closed; the dreaming eye, the guarded heart, the body's quiet gates.

Anoint:
The third eye before meditation or dreamwork.
The heart before ceremony,
The womb space through your cycle.

The body's portals and pulse points before rest, before ritual, before love.
Or, in seasons of mourning — she is an old companion to those tending loss.
Presently and lovingly, anoint those you love who are passing in death-doulaship.
For those moving through psychological death/rebirth passages, lovingly anoint as the Magdalena.

Or simply anoint as oil, breath, and intention at your altar, at day's opening or closing.

She is subtle by nature. Her medicine is in the act, not the announcement.

In the temples of Egypt, blue lotus was the flower of creation itself: rising from the primordial waters, opening to the sun each dawn, closing into the dark each night. She was painted on tomb walls, woven into funerary garlands, steeped in the wine of ceremonies. Priests and priestesses anointed with her; the dead crossed with her.

She belongs to the mysteries of descent and return. Nefertem, god of the first sunrise, was born from her opening petals. She does not resist the dark. She enters it nightly, and rises. This oil was made in her rhythm: begun on the Cancer new moon, flowers surrendered whole into the oil, held one complete lunar cycle in darkness, and pressed beneath the new moon solar eclipse, a day of descent and rebirth written in the sky itself.

She is the anointress of thresholds. Work with her at yours.

Not necessary - topical use only. She is not steeped. Stop it. Seriously, don't. She wants to be on your body. Okay? ON not in. (: She is already complete. Warm a few drops between fingertips before anointing; skin warmth opens her scent. A little is enough. Store in cool darkness, as she was made. Best within a year of her pressing. (08/12/26)

Not for ingesting. I'm serious, stop. I see you thinking. But she's not for tasting. She's for feeling. Okay? Great. Simply warm her between your hands, tune to her frequency, and listen to what she opens within you.

Not for ingestion. Topical use only. Not for use on open wounds. Not safe for those with nut allergies.
