Guiding Goddesses
Triple Moon Goddesses associated with “the Mother” archetype and the Full Moon phase.

- Selene, Greek Moon Goddess and her connection to The Full Moon embodies the peak of illumination, power and emotional maturity.

- Demeter/Ceres, creation and fertility, the harvest, and the nurturing power to grow, protect, and sustain life. Womb energy, the cauldron of creation.

During the sun's transit through Cancer, we recommend tapping into your inner world by feeling your feels. This zodiac sign is stereotyped for being overly emotional and dynamic but that's because it's ruled by the ever changing phases of the moon. The ocean tides are ruled by the moon and there's so much power and strength in this element.

We suggest working with essential oils for strengthening the third eye chakra and any oils that are associated with intuition, spiritual protection, and mental clarity. Some essential oils include Clary Sage, Lavender, Chamomile, Lemon Balm, Sandalwood.
Other essential oils you can use to connecting with womb energy and opening your heart chakra such as Ylang Ylang, Bergamot, and Geranium.

Our guiding goddess aromatherapy blend "Athena's Insight" is inspired by the Greek Goddess of the wisdom, sacred intellect, warfare, and strategy.

She is a fierce, disciplined, warrior goddess known for her ability to cut through illusions and trust herself in battle. She hones her intuitive gifts and channels her emotions into her craft.

Athena's Insight is a clarifying blend that has a top note of Rosemary, an herbal and grounding plant that sharpens the senses and provides mental focus. The earthy notes of Frankincense and Clary Sage add a tranquil, meditative softness as well as energetically open the gateway to intuition and deeper knowing. Lapis Lazuli crystal energy ties these essential oils together. The stone of truth and insight activates the Third Eye Chakra, to enhance intuitive abilities and protect against the evil eye.
