Stellaria media (Chickweed) in Ancient Lore
• Name & Symbolism: “Stellaria” comes from stella (star) — its tiny white flowers look like little stars. Traditionally, this linked it to guidance, clarity, and navigation (stars guiding travelers).
• Celtic/European Folk Use: Chickweed was seen as a cooling, moistening plant — balancing excess heat in body and spirit. Used for skin rashes, fevers, and even “cooling a fiery temper.”
• Doctrine of Signatures: Its starry flowers and creeping, interconnected growth suggested connection, gentleness, and spreading relief — a sign that it “soothes what is inflamed.”
• Ritual Use: Sometimes placed in baths to cleanse the body of “heat and anger.” Its delicate nature symbolized tenderness, humility, and renewal

The Year of 9
Earth grounds us,
Recalibrating back to the womb—
The place where it all began.
The fire of winter burns deep,
Unravelling, transforming,
Making space for what’s to come.
Now, we enter the waters—
Returning to flow,
Realigning with the divine,
In sacred connection to all that is.
This is a cycle of deep remembrance.
To become the visionary.
To become the alchemist.
Creating through ease and grace—
Not through force,
Not through manipulation—
But through the divine grace of the Mother.
We no longer carry the pain of others.
We witness it.
We transmute it.
We allow wisdom to shape it
Into its highest form.
Those who resist, let them be.
They were never meant
To walk this divine path.
Let us call in the air—
The breath of clarity—
With the Herkimer Diamond
To guide our discernment
Through the rainbow light. 💡

Medicine. My medicine.
My connection to all living things —
a connection I once took for granted…
but never again.
The medicine moves through me,
with me — it is part of me.
A wild dance of night and day,
of shadow and light.
Colours and language I had missed for so long now return.
And I can access them again.
Fear had held everything away —
my tribe,
my joy,
my gifts,
my breath.
I was frozen.
But in letting go,
I saw the truth:
I was always surrounded —
by my beautiful ancestors,
holding space for me,
waiting patiently
as I remembered myself.
They made room
for me to return
to the inner temple of the divine.
And in that temple,
the golden ones were there —
not separate,
but whole.
I feel again.
I see again.
I can hear again.
And now, with the space returning within me,
I can offer space to all.
No longer pushing from fear,
but holding space from grace —
from inner peace.
The feminine —
in her inner temple,
surrounded by her gifts —
can now allow other languages, sounds, and feelings
to guide her to the medicine she needs
in each sacred moment.
And my allies —
the plants, the planets, the sun and moon,
my tribe, my guides, my ancestors —
I can hear them so clearly now,
it completes me.
I had kept myself out of that temple —
punishing myself
for not honouring its sacredness.
But now…
my compass points to true north.
I am guided
by all that is light —
the sun, the stars, the glimmer off the ocean —
back home.
And now, everything I touch
hums with life.
A new vibration pulses through me.
I am so grateful
for every twist and turn
that brought me to this place.
Don’t get me wrong —
there are still fragments,
still filaments unraveling.
But I am no longer afraid.
I am here.
I am home.

The great unravel is nothing to be afraid of
it is the sacred beginning.
The slow wave back
to who you truly are.
Grief and trauma hold tight,
anchoring you in fear and scarcity,
but they are not your truth.
They are echoes of a life built
on survival, not your souls song.
As you feel deeper
you soften—
not in weakness,
but in the strength of surrendering.
You dissolve into the rhythm of your own breathing
into the wild grace of remembering.
The Goddess rises with a rose in hand
in the moment you break the old codes.
When you stop performing.
When you stop hiding.
And you say:
“I am ready to be seen as I am”.
Why do we shrink ourselves
to fit into a world
that’s operating on an outdated system—
built on fear, judgment, and control?
That judgment that can be felt isn’t personal—
it’s the collective’s echos of the old.
Let it pass.
Let it die.
It was never about you.
And in that moment—
when you let go of all you were told to be—
you become free.
Free to breathe.
Free to be.
Free to feel the sacred perfection
of your imperfection
Blessed be 🙏🏼

Homegrown Smudge Sticks: A Ritual of Earth and Intention
There’s a quiet kind of magic in growing your own smudge stick — a sacred blend of earth, patience, and intention. From seed to smoke, each leaf carries a memory, each stem a whisper of the seasons that shaped it. In tending the garden, we become part of an ancient rhythm — one where healing grows slowly, under sun and sky, nourished by our own hands.
When the herbs are finally harvested and bound, they are more than just fragrant bundles. They are woven prayers. Lavender for peace, rosemary for protection, sage for cleansing — each one gathered with care, dried with reverence, and saved for the moment when we most need grounding.
Lighting a homegrown smudge stick is not just a ritual — it is a return. A return to the soil, to the breath, to the self. The smoke that rises is more than scent; it is spirit, curling through the air like an offering. A reminder that healing can be cultivated, that energy can be renewed, and that the simplest things — grown with love — hold the greatest magic

Coming back into our lil apothecary and creating again reminds me of all the magic that goes into each and every soak.
Many of you may not know but at one stage we were sending over 60000 soaks per month world wide.
Even though we were still hand crafting them all somehow the magic and alignment was lost….
The beautiful thing is, I am here again and weaving the golden magic into each and every product on a new platform of love 💛

Purification or spiritual hygiene is essential
When I wondered off my path it was the most important thing I lost connection with. Funny enough that is what I was promoting yet was so busy try to give it to everybody else I forgot about me and then the train went sideways with me in it.

Take care of you .. take a moment to cleanse your energy.. connect to you heart your light and breathe .. allow that no longer serves you wash away
Love you
Fun fact blue lotus is one of the highest vibrational herbs and is a direct portal to ancient Egyptian times .. enjoy x

As a young girl I always marvelled at the power of herbs making special potions under a staircase, my sacred and special space where no time existed, in the motel I grew up in. I still have vivid memories of wild crafting violets and mixing them with water in a bottle. This was a pertinent time looking back as it was Dad who I wanted to drink my potions most and he passed away when I was eight. I guess in my ownway I knew he was sick and wanted to help or heal him.
Born and bred in Daylesford, I enjoyed a bright and a wonderfully free upbringing which has all contributed to who I am today. As a child I was surrounded with a diverse bunch of humans from farmers to hippies yet they all had one common thread amongst them, a respect for the land we share.
Daylesford Apothecary products are dedicated to respecting and looking after our planet. Sourcing our ingredients and packaging from smaller business operators where possible in the Central Highlands not only supports our local economy but also hopefully enables more young girls (and boys), to perhaps one day fulfil their childhood dreams just like me in their native surrounds
With all of this in mind I find myself here today handcrafting magical and medicinal potions for you and I’m so excited that so many people will get the benefits from them. Each product is made with healing properties and their own unique intention, so when you close your eyes whilst holding the product you may actually see what it does.
I have been dreaming of Daylesford Apothecary for the past 15 years and now the time is right for me to bring it to you. I hope you enjoy our products and may you feel the love and care in each.
Stay tuned for more exciting products and developments to come.
