Sweet Womb

Rose, calendula, blue lotus, cinnamon chips.

The elixir of self-love. A cup of you, loving you.

The holding tea — for when you need a minute with yourself. Reach for her in the thick of it, when the feeling is big and you need company inside it, and after, when it's time to soften. She holds the intensity, and she soothes. A coming home.

She is tender-heartedness, purity, and simple love — the innocence you can return to without losing what you've learned. She doesn't demand. She doesn't fix. She holds the field and lets you remember that you are, and always have been, lovable.

She is Marian to her root. The rose is Mary's own flower — Rosa Mystica, the Mystical Rose, the bloom of the Mother's love. The calendula is Mary's gold — the marigold laid at her altars, her warmth, her halo. And the cinnamon is the anointing spice: named in the holy anointing oil of old, breathed through the love-poetry of the Song of Songs. So she carries both Marys — Mother Mary, who holds you and calls you lovable, and the Magdalene, the one who anointed and never left, who teaches the love that stays with the body, with the self, through everything. The blue lotus is the soft opener beneath them — the gentle unclenching that lets you receive it all.

Our Lady, turned inward: you, mothering you. You, anointing you. You, refusing to abandon yourself.

1–2 tsp, covered, 8–10 minutes. Boil the water, then let it cool a breath before pouring.

A soft yellow-orange glow, pale and luminous in the cup. On the tongue: gentle and honeyed, a warm apple sweetness with a quiet thread of cinnamon.

Energetically: warming, softening, holding, receptive, tender.

Not for use during pregnancy or while nursing (contains blue lotus; cinnamon in quantity is uterine-stimulating). Blue lotus is gently sedative — enjoy her when you can soften, not before driving, and take care alongside alcohol or sedatives. Contains calendula, in the daisy family — skip her if you react to ragweed, daisies, or marigold. Cinnamon may lower blood sugar — a gentle note if you manage diabetes or take blood-sugar medication. Not evaluated by the FDA; not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition. If you're pregnant, nursing, on medication, or managing a health condition, check with your care provider first.
