In this article, the author reflects on a lifelong spiritual and emotional connection with nature, which has guided her through the stages of life—now entering the Crone phase with acceptance and gratitude. Surrounded by symbols like the Triple Goddess tapestry, she finds herself grounded in a sacred space where she honors the cycles of nature, healing, and the soul’s journey. Her early life was rich with sensory experiences—playing in the earth, loving botanicals like Vetyver and Frankincense, and feeling a divine presence through nature and ritual.
As a mother and healer, she embraced the nurturing aspects of femininity, creating blends and potions during pregnancy and connecting deeply with plant energies like Rose and Chamomile. Her maternal role extended beyond childbearing into creating, healing, and understanding the spiritual essence of plants. These relationships with botanicals shaped her work and worldview, rooted in the belief that nature communicates through scent and instinct.
Now settled on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, the author has transformed her carriage house into a sanctuary—a shop filled with aromatic treasures, aligned with the sacred feminine. Her journey, deeply intuitive and spiritually guided, honors the timeless messages of plants and the soul’s evolution through life’s spiral path. Surrounded by the scents she’s worked with for decades, she celebrates her unique, self-forged path with reverence and love.
