Sacred Rites & Initiation
There is a stand of undeveloped jungle within each of us, that can never be domesticated.
It is a borderless land, beyond personality and convention, even beyond thought, where pure creativity arises.
Like the signature song of a bird, the spiralling of an arbutus tree, the lush branches of deodar cedar, the evening scent of a jasmine bush, there is an essence in each of us intended to be expressed.
Few make the trek into this creative wild, because the path requires great vulnerability. To come into our true originality, we must surrender the layers of numbness we use to protect our hearts.
I believe we have more than enough creativity to solve the problems of our times, but we have to make a perilous trek into the wilderness within to reclaim it, to rewild it.
This is the birth place of Essence of Ash.
Tallow is rich in fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. It is also rich in B vitamins. It increases collagen production and is anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and bio-identical to our own skin sebum. The name tallow actually means "sebum" when it is translated. It also contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) which fights against cancer. Tallow is an all around moisturizer it is incredibly nourishing and hydrating.
In the rich tapestry of Norse mythology, where gods, giants, and mythical beings abound, there exists a lesser-known but significant figure named Audhumla (the nourisher)
Described as a primeval cow, Audhumla nourished herself by licking the salty ice that surrounded her. Her actions gradually uncovered Buri, the first god and progenitor of the Aesir gods. Thus, Audhumla’s simple act of nourishment gave birth to the gods and set the stage for the creation of the cosmos.
Beyond her mythical significance, Audhumla’s legacy also reflects the cultural values of ancient Norse society, where the sacredness of life, the interconnectedness of beings, and the cycles of existence held great importance.
