- Hydrangea: from Greek hudro- ‘water’ + angeion ‘vessel’ (referring to the cup shape of its seed capsule). An apt metaphor for the Chalice and the feminine devotional art of being both carrier and steward of the well waters.
- Marriage: (sacred union) a blessed joining noted in the calyx that protects the bud and the sepals that support the bloom; felt in the kiss that gives life, in the joining of lips, in the electromagnetic force that draws two beings to deeply desire to be dissolved into one another in every way (a process given way in the creation of their legacy, the formation of new life which their dissolving into oneness is the substrate of)
- Archetypal energies: the chalice, baptism, the golden child, beatitudes (supreme blessedness)
- Biological states: electromagnetism, pollination / fruitfulness, crowning, flowering
- Metal: gold
- Element: water
- Soma: gateways through which we taste and nourish life i.e. the mouth and waterways, womb/primordial eros
- Rite of Passage: womanhood; preparation for partnership
- Winged allies: butterfly, honeybee (study of the ways they taste life - in motion, in active pursuit of it)

THE MEDICINE:
The kiss of life; an instrument of generative power to protect, support, and nourish legacy
A ritual complement to CHALICE, the advanced devotional arts journey for Consorts & Oracles to powerful, worldly men, stewarded by Ginger Kern of @mythic.feminine
THE MORPHIC FIELD
A covenantal kiss of baptismal well waters calyxed by majestic golden potency. A marriage of white rose to blue spruce, of calyx to bud, and of sepals to blossom.
THE EVOCATION
An enchantment of white rose, blue spruce, lemon blossom, sandalwood, fir needle, and patchouli and a yielding of way to the floral grace of the crowning of the grail.
Depicted visually via petals of blue and green hydrangea placed in the form of a crown or long stemmed blooming flower and rooted in 24 karat gold and clover leaf. (All florals grown, tended, and dried on my home land.)

It smells like a summer morning. And the crackling of the wood burning warms my heart so thoroughly.

I was lucky enough to receive this beautiful aromatic collaboration as a part of Chalice and it's nothing short of dreamy and transportive. LaToya has a profound gift of weaving energy, the elements, and the senses to create the most exquisite candles.
