Desert Mistletoe Essence
A desert wash essence to adapt and transform.
▽ Alcohol Free Option ▽
In winter thickets of catclaw mesquite, desert mistletoe thrives. Made on the eve of the new year, with Jupiter ascending, bees foraging and the beginnings of rain.
Desert mistletoe shows us how to fight like hell when we’ve been buried. The woven nature of life & death, one always giving rise to the other. Creation and destruction. Which way is our energy flowing? What parts of ourselves have we cut off to survive?
Mistletoe teaches us how to give death, break cycles & be transformed. This is not easy work, the discomfort of growth. Who struggles so we may thrive? What beings have we othered & erased in service to our own imagined goodness?
Edge-dwelling desert mistletoe widens our vision of what is possible, while helping us find our niche. The right container to embody values more deeply. How do we partner with our ecologies wherever we find ourselves, in process, service & devotion to the collective?
What do we need to give up to practice true responsible relationship? What hard truths do we need to accept in order to transform?
I love how essences allow us to work with threshold plants like mistletoe. They are anything but parasitic, a term rooted in colonial scarcity. What of silky flycatcher feasting on mistletoe’s abundant berries? Even the Latin name for our native mistletoes (’tree thief’) calls to mind a coercive one-sided relationship that is more human than anything.
Such misunderstood beings. My kind of beings.
Find this essence and all others (including blends) bundled in a trio.

This environmental essence is intentionally crafted in ritual communion with the mysteries & energies of land, plants, oceans & cosmos.
Suggested use: Take 1-4 drops on the tongue daily, apply to pulse points or add a few drops to a bath. Try working in combo with journaling, meditation, dreamwork or any spirit practice that feels accessible.
