∙∙••THE CAILLEACH••∙∙
(Carnation, Vanilla, White Pepper, Galbanum, Amber, Frankincense, Anise)

The Cailleach is the winter hag, the grandmother of frost and shadow, the one who reminds us that darkness is not an absence but a sanctuary. Her cave, dug by her own fierce hands, is a liminal space, a threshold between what you were and what you are meant to become. To hear the rattle of her bone-staff is to be called to something deeper, something raw and unflinching within yourself. Her tales are not for the faint of heart, but for the brave souls who are willing to sit in the cold, to hear the beautiful, haunting truths that lie beneath the surface. When you leave her cave, you do not leave the same. You walk out wild, unapologetic, and forever in communion with the sacred darkness within you.

This oil is her story distilled, her invitation to enter the winter woods of your own soul. It is a potion crafted to guide you inward, to the places within that have been left untended, waiting for your touch. Spicy carnations ignite the fire that lives deep in your bones, their bold warmth urging you to claim your power with fierce, unapologetic joy. Warm vanilla laces through the blend, a tender reminder that even in the coldest nights, there is sweetness to be found, softness that soothes and heals. White pepper, sharp and invigorating, awakens the senses, urging you to rebel against the numbness of complacency and stand boldly in your truth. Golden amber resin carries the wisdom of ancient forests, grounding you in the knowledge that you are not alone; you are part of something timeless and eternal. Its rich, earthy scent holds the memory of sacred fires and whispered prayers, connecting you to the deep-rooted strength of your ancestors. Frankincense tears, offered like sacred gifts, remind you to honor every part of yourself—the tender, the fierce, the shadowed, and the light. Star anise brings a touch of the mysterious, its delicate fragrance calling you to trust your intuition and navigate the unknown with grace and courage. Earthy galbanum roots the entire blend, anchoring you in the soil of your own being, a reminder that even in transformation, you are held and supported.

This oil is not a mask to hide behind but a call to unearth your truest self. When you anoint yourself with this oil, you’re stepping into the story of the Cailleach. Her wisdom becomes yours, her fierce grace woven into the wild fabric of your being. This is a scent for those who long to reclaim their untamed truth, to stand tall in their shadows and find beauty in the dark. Wear it as a reminder that the wilderness within you is sacred. You are a creature of the Earth, unapologetically wild, and your story is a light for others. Let the Cailleach guide you to embrace the sanctuary of your inner darkness and emerge with the power to inspire the world.
