Star Child
is an inspirational force that seems to channel a consciousness
rooted within the plant kingdom. It's message holds a key
for unlocking those parts of the mind that allows us to connect
with the spiritual aspects of nature. Star Child conveys
this earth wisdom through the dimension of sensual experience
which is accessible to all. By experiencing this level
of awareness and tuning into the realm of nature spirits we are
reminded that all the Earth is sacred and that we must take care
of her as she takes care of us. For if we forget our spiritual
source we all forget our humanity and become part of a mechanistic
consciousness that considers nature as a mere source of materials,
there to be exploited and to satisfy nothing but greed.
In ancient times people were aware of the interrelationships between
the sacred and the mundane plains of existence. They communed
with the plant spirits who were regarded as divine messengers
of the Gods. However, during the Dark Ages much of this
knowledge was lost, the old Gods were cast beyond the reaches
of experience and matter was declared dead. The spirit/matter
dichotomy evolved and people lost their path as caretakers of
the Earth. The consequences of this change in attitude can
be seen all around with the daunting environmental problems we
are facing today.
Star Child's
products are based on the philosophies of our ancestral wisdom.
We believe that by working with the spiritual forces inherent
in nature we can offer tools that may provide a gateway to the
devic consciousness and thus help people to connect with their
own spiritual source. Spirituality cannot be bought in a
bottle, and our products are not intended as magical quick-fixes.
Rather, they are meant as keys for experiencing the divine through
the realm of the senses. By bridging the spirit/matter split
we are working towards wholeness and healing of people and planet.
May
Star Child's message help to open the channels of perception so
that the realm of the Sacred may once again come within the reaches
of experience.

Aromatherapy
Oils and Incense |
|
Aromatic
herbal infusions and fragrant oils have played an integral role
in religious ceremonies and magical rituals for thousands of
years. In ancient times the subtle scents of plants were regarded
as the manifest aspect of their etheric souls. They were thought
to purify the hearts and minds of people and to open the doors
of perception.
Special
aromatic oil blends, known as anointing salves, were used for
purification and consecration rites prior to performing ceremonies
or entering a sacred space. Some herbs were sacred to particular
Gods and Goddesses or used to invoke a particular kind of energy
(eg. to attract rain or stimulate fertility etc.).
Star
Child Space Aromas follow in these ancient traditions. Our Space
Aromas are created using only pure essential oils and absolutes,
potentised with our unique magical herbal infusions. Each aroma
is designed with a specific purpose, astrological energy or divinity
in mind, though the versatility of their application is only limited
by your imagination.

Magical
Star
Child Magical Space Aromas are designed with specific purposes in
mind. They contain oils traditionally associated with the various
magical uses and are potentised with corresponding magical herbal
infusions. However, Space Aromas are not intended to be magical
quick fixes for life’s problems. Herbs and oils may assist in clearing
energy blockages and help you attune to the purpose for which you
are using them. When that work has been done it is still up to you
to follow the flow of energy with appropriate action and make the
most of the opportunities that may arise. |

Star
Child Space Aromas are ideal to use with an oil burner or vapouriser
as magical fragrances for meditation and healing practices, ceremonial
or ritual purposes, or simply to scent your home with these beautiful
fragrances. Fill the water-well with warm water and add a few
drops of oil. Light the candle underneath and enjoy the fragrance
filling the space. Don’t allow the water well to dry out completely
and make sure the candle is blown out afterwards.
To cleanse a space, create a particular atmosphere or invite specific
energies into your home, a few drops of an appropriate oil blend
can be added to a bowl of water. Agitate the water to disperse
the oil and use for sprinkling around the house after cleaning.
Space Aromas can be diluted in a nut/seed base oil or Space
Base oil for anointment in a ritual or ceremonial context or
to use as bath or massage oils. Add about 5 drops to 1 tablespoon
of base oil. They can also be used for anointing candles in
candle burning rituals. For this purpose they can be used undiluted.

|
PROSPERITY
Everything manifested within the universe is based on the flow of
cosmic energy, and in metaphysical terms giving is receiving. However,
due to a multitude of factors on spiritual, physical and emotional
levels, this flow of energy often becomes blocked, diverted or dissipated
within individual lives. Our prosperity oil is designed to help
gain an understanding of this energy flow and to help resolve any
issues that block the connection to it. (Sorry, this is not a ‘get
rich quick’ remedy... though you could try rubbing the bottle for
a genie.)

FLYING OIL
The famous flying ointment must surely be the most legendary concoction
of medieval witches! Much has been said and written about its incredible
powers - unfortunately there is no way of finding out, except by
trying. Star Child Flying Oil is based on traditional sources without
making any claim of authenticity, as some of those traditional ingredients
are not only hard to find, but also tend to be rather dangerous
and offensive. Nevertheless, this oil is very potent within legal
limitations and should not be used light heartedly.

| Triple
Moon
This
range of Space Aromas is created in celebration of the ‘Triple Moon
Goddess’ and her mysteries. The Triple Moon Goddess is one of the
most primordial deities of ancient history. She has been revered
by practically all cultures around the world. Whilst her names and
specific cultural attributes may take on different forms, her essential
nature and significance is recognised among all cultures. Her monthly
cycle through her different phases reveals the mystery of the wheel
of life which underlies all creative processes. It also symbolises
the continuum-concept evident in the passage of the soul on its
eternal journey of transformation from birth and youth to co-creation
and nurturing, to old age, wisdom and death, and finally to rebirth
and self-renewal. These oils can be used to celebrate the phases
of the moon each month or to mark the beginning, middle and end
phase of any project or creative venture. They can also be used
to celebrate such phases in one’s life as symbolic rites of passage
and initiation. |

MAIDEN MOON
The Maiden Moon or New Moon signifies new beginnings and fresh starts.
It embodies the mystery of self-renewal and regeneration. This Space

| Deity
This
range of Space Aromas is dedicated to various archetypal deities
whose images re-occur in various guises in many religious mythologies.
These archetypes are deeply rooted within the significant role in
shaping the human experience of the sacred. By focusing on these
archetypal deities we can get in touch with the parts of consciousness
they represent and thus directly access their rich symbolic meaning.
Understanding the role they play on an inner level may heal some
of the disparities between the various parts of our conscious and
unconscious selves. Thus, to honour such archetypes within is to
bridge the worlds and walk with the Gods and Goddesses. As Above
So Below - As Within So Without. |

ISIS
Isis, the Egyptian primordial Mother Goddess, represents the origin
of life itself. She is the creatress who was there before time and
space. She is the source who gave birth to everything - including
the Sun and all the other Gods. Her mysteries are so sacred and
so unfathomable that they cannot be taught or captured in writing.
She only reveals herself to the most earnest seekers who must keep
a vow of silence. To the profane mind her mysteries are beyond comprehension.
Connecting to this archetype is to go beyond personal ego limitations
and to touch upon the very source of life itself.

| Festival
This range of Space Aromas is created to honour the eight great
Celtic Festivals that mark the cycles of the Sun through the seasons.
The festivals are divided into Quarter days, better known as the
Solstices and Equinoxes, and the Cross-Quarter days, Beltain, Lughnasad,
Samhain and Imbolc, which mark the mid-point between the Equinoxes
and Solstices. Mythologically, the cycle of these festivals tells
the story of the Goddess and the birth, death and resurrection of
her divine child and consort, the Sun-God. This story is archetypal
and can be found in many parts of the world. |
|
|
|
SAMHAIN
- 1st NOVEMBER
This is the time of the year when the veil between the worlds is
thinnest. The Goddess has gone to the Underworld to search for her
lover. Here she meets the lord of death and partakes of his fruit.
At this point of stillness her fertility is renewed. This is a time
to reflect on the cycle of birth, death, transformation and rebirth
and to commemorate departed friends and relatives.

SAGITTARIUS
23rd november - 20th december
The time of Sagittarius represents the onset of winter. Most of
the work of the season has been done and the larder is still full.
This is a time to spend with friends, to enjoy the fruits of harvest,
to contemplate life and dream about the possibilities of the future.
Sagittarius is the sign of the philosopher. Drawing on the experiences
of the previous signs Sagittarius seeks to understand its role in
the universe, the meaning of life and their relationship to spirit.
Use this Space Aroma to contemplate the microcosm/ macrocosm connection.
It may be helpful to those who get overwhelmed by the nitty- gritty
aspects of life and who feel a need to expand their perspectives.
Meditate on the patterns in your life in order to better understand
the meaning of your experiences.

Burning
fragrant woods, barks, resins and gums as an offering to the
Gods is perhaps one of the most ancient ritualised spiritual
practices. Our ancestors regarded fire as a sacred medium of
transformation - an inexplicable phenomenon that has the power
to change solid matter and release the etheric essences contained
within as smoke. Scent, the most volatile and immaterial aspect
of matter, was regarded as the food of the Gods.
As
spiritual beings, the Gods cannot partake of the physical aspects
of sacrificial offerings, but instead gorge themselves on the
etheric aspects that rise to heaven in the form of smoke. Fragrant
resins, barks and flowers offered to the Gods as incense was regarded
as their sacred ambrosia. It acts as a vehicle for prayers, which
by power of sheer delight finds access to the hearts and graces
of the Gods. Keeping the Gods happy of course was the fundamental
purpose of ritual and of primary concern of humankind, who are
dependant on their blessings.
Scent
powerfully influences the mind and can lift the spirit beyond
the level of material concerns to the realm of the sacred. Burning
incense is still widely practiced for spiritual purposes in
most religions.
Star
Child Incense is prepared in accordance with these ancient concepts
and traditions. They contain all natural substances, such as barks,
herbs, flowers, seeds, resins, gums, pure essential oils and absolutes,
each appropriate according to their associated deities and magical
properties. To add an extra magical dimension to our potent blends
certain herbs are collected from various sacred sites in accordance
with the cycles of the sun and moon.
Star
Child Incense can be used for all kinds of meditations, ritual
and ceremonial purposes, or simply for pleasure. Traditionally,
incense plays an important role in purification rites, commonly
referred to as “smudging”. The smoke is used to “wash” away
negative energies and thought forms, thus cleansing and enhancing
the atmosphere of any given space. Similarly it is used to purify
the hearts and minds of people as they prepare themselves to
partake in sacred ceremonies and rituals.
|
Planetary
In
ancient times the seven known planets were perceived as a pantheon
of deities. These Gods governed all aspects of life on Earth throughout
all realms of existence. In the days of antiquity, people implored
the various Gods to help them in their many tasks and manifest
their dreams and wishes. Over the centuries these divine beings
have become more and more internalised. Nowadays they are perceived
as inner drives and archetypes, reflecting universal forces. Whether
regarded as divine entities or psychological drives - they still
have a strong impact on human consciousness and continue to affect
our lives on personal as well as transpersonal levels. Planetary
incenses can be burned to get in touch with the various archetypal
energies in order to gain a better understanding of the dynamic
forces they represent. As above - so below; as within - so without.
They can be used for meditation or ritual to invoke and contemplate
these cosmic energies. They may also be used to attune to the
planetary energies associated with the different days of the week.

shorter as the Sun’s energy is dying. Like the plants who now have
to die in order to sustain us through the lifeless season, the Sun
will die as well - to be reborn in the following year. Such are
the laws of the eternal cycle of life and death. This is a time
of thanksgiving for the fruits of the harvest and the power of the
Sun.

SAMHAIN
31st October
Samhain is the name of the old pagan seasonal festival that celebrates
the descent of the Life-force deep into the Earth-womb where it
regenerates to be reborn in the following spring. It marks the beginning
of the dark season - a time to remember the dead and to reflect
upon the nature of birth, death and rebirth as an eternal cycle.
It is also a time to review the gains and losses of the previous
year, to go within and to face the inner shadow ...if necessary.

year. In Christian symbolism the elements have become identified
with the archangels, Uriel, Raphael, Michael and Gabriel. Star

and traditions. They contain all natural substances, such as barks,
herbs, flowers, seeds, resins, gums, pure essential oils and absolutes,

purposes and intentions. Remember though that incense is merely
a tool that facilitates the workings of the practitioner, it is

do the work for you. Desired opportunities may arise - but it
is still up to the practitioner to follow them up with appropriate
action on the material level. Star Child Incense is prepared in
accordance with ancient concepts and traditions. They contain
all natural substances, such as barks, herbs, flowers, seeds,

fragrance. Perfumers throughout the ages have known how to use the

and evoke the magic of love. Adding the dimension of scent to an
