13/12/2025

Around Christmas time I will be releasing my revived winter spice topical balm..

With a an extra kick this will be a peppery spicey ginger warming blend
With the benefits of CBD, and winter green
(Think deep heat.. yummm)

But also the protection of sage and mugwort,
to seal your true authentic light energy and repel the inappropriate energies of others as well as your own.

This is not denying pushing down or abandoning your shadow, being all "love and light high vibe" bu****it .. because there is a place but if we love and light constantly,
your shadows are going to come out in other ways, or burst forth when you are triggered, vulnerable or have been enabling and tolerating your own toxic coping mechanisms,
Or those of others.

And you snap ..and the putrid vitriol from your bowels and liver and guts spews forth,
hurting or overwhelming other people,
Usually those we love,
Or cohabitate with.

If you have ever done this, or had it happen to you you know the shocking experience it can be, and it can be scary, and you can feel distraught, shameful, confused and very vulnerable afterwards ..

Don't over identify with the words or the energy that came with them..
Its often old stuff triggered - the straw that broke the camels back.

Or shaming, be authentically you and witness what comes up for you...
But the key takeaway is to downgrade the frequency and strength of these occurrences.

Noticing patterns, because underneath anger is pain, shame, fear, embarrassment, abandonment, and other things..

Anger is not isolated

Anger is the Wairua/Tinana/Hinengaro
Screaming to be heard and
have balance and peace.

So.. it's not JUST a sore muscle balm
It is infused with the remedy of anger, empathy and understanding . .

You are allowed your anger, you have every right to feel righteous anger,
It is SACRED as f**k.

Just don't hold onto it, it is a gift of a mirror,

You wouldn't stand in front of a mirrir for a decade would you?

No. You check your reflection, and move on.

feel it, let it pass through, find safe ways of getting it out physically,
And writing, talking, painting or gardening it out mentally .. whichever tool fits you..

Honour your anger for reminding you that even when you forget to honour your boundaries and sovereignty
Your anger is always waiting to show you.

So observe, some people don't know what their morals and values are..

But you do.

Wherever you get passionate,
Wherever you speak up, whoever you support, The facets of life where you are brave and support and defend others in your life.

Anger is all the dutch courage you need to start making positive change,
In your life the micro, and in the world the macro..

Don't think that the things you stand for don't echo outside of you, your home and family and into the slipstream of consciousness..

Don't think they don't count, or won't make a difference,

Because they do.

One of The biggest lies that we've been told and we tell ourselves is that we can't change the world..

Because we can't influence,
Because we don't have the resources,
Because we can't get a meeting with Presidents or

Because we are not politicians or lobbyists
Because we are not million
Or billionaires.

Yeah well, I say f**k that!
I don't subscribe and id rather be authentic and
p**s people off or confuse them
Rather than accept this pitiful narrative !!

Human behaviour and action HAS been influencing the world this far..

And look at the state of this whare?

Begin to change the world today,
Greet your anger, name it, honour it,
Give it a task..

And FYI
Presidents Politicians have no real power, they are puppets - a mouth peace with a portfolio of departments or countries affairs that
they want, or have been assigned, not necessarily something they are qualified, passionate about.
Not because they can improve the system
So they can drain it, reverse our progress, make a tidy living, argue with other idiots and gloat to reporters and journalists about parliamentary squabbles.

Remember JFK trying to make change?
Yeah.

Banking families (Old money), "royalty", secret service agencies within agencies, "celebrities" lobbyists, gangs/cartel/triad,/police have their own convoluted messy relationships and you'd be surprised who's doing backroom deals.

We can't change those patterns and systems or break them or fight them attack them..
Directly.
But indirectly we can.

This isn't a tangent,
Because it ties back to anger
What has been happening in our legislation lately?

And the genocide (not war) that continues

And the litany of NZ news reports
Showing how many people have been dishonest and greedy in charities, agencies and are all getting caught now.
Ripping off the vulnerable, the elderly, the legal aid claimants, ACC claimants, charities devised to help feed clothes house and provide support to our rapidly growing homeless and rough sleepers population ....

Pi**ed yet?
I hope so.
Otherwise you are desensitized or focused too much on what. Only affects you directly..

Be a whistle blower, be an advocate
Advocate for your life ..

And get ready to gallop because Feb 4 heralds in the year of the fire horse..

And boy do we ride.
We were born for this...

It's going to be interesting.
So "tidy your houses", which is ancient speak
for getting your affairs in order.
(settle your debts, dump that toxic 'friend' frenemy or romantic encounter, quarrels, tidy up loose ends, clean out your email of social media, or just the linen cupboard,)
make your plan and grab all of your tools to
keep calm despite the perceived worldly chaos..

Focus on your nest, and your people.

We still about 6weeks left of the year of the Snake ...

Still time to shake off that old skin as we shift energetically back to number 1 universal numerology energy ...

Hey everyone, I have just amalgamated to the meta business suite, to see my biz insta and facebook, Insta is pretty quiet.
If you have found any of my services helpful or valuable, please leave me a review.

I have some limited Rongoa, blue lotus, and a small amount of Mugmort for a cuppa. I also have Kumerahou, and Tataramoa tea for coughs/ills and for sleeping. These are for more in person services.

If anyone in the Bluff area is unwell, i can do a drop off.

I will be brewing up elixirs to be ready in 4-6 weeks.

Please reach out if you have raw plant material (damiana, mug wort, bushman's lawyer, Pukatea etc)

Please enjoy this photo of a Peony I grew (and hope to grow again) in 2018.

Happy Friday and have a great weekend.

What you need to know about Blue Lotus
7 Oct
Written By Penelope Maguire

Blue Lotus (Nymphaea caerulea) or Egyptian Blue Water Lily, is an aquatic perennial native to the Nile and East Africa. Despite its name, it isn’t a true lotus (that’s Nelumbo nucifera or sacred lotus), but a water lily from the Nymphaeaceae family.

For the ancient Egyptians Blue Lotus was considered holy. Because of the way it blooms tall in the morning then retreats at night, always staying above the water and mud below, it symbolised rebirth, the rising sun, and higher consciousness, showing up everywhere from art on temple walls to layers of petals over mummies. Today, herbalists value Blue Lotus for its calming, mildly euphoric, and dream-enhancing qualities and the often sought after effect for one to think deeper and exist beyond surface level.

How will Blue Lotus make me feel?
For some, Blue Lotus is subtle, bringing a gentle sense of relaxation and peace. For others, it can provide a noticeable lift in mood and an enhanced sense of connection with the world around them (something that can often be influenced by dosing). It’s especially helpful for creatives seeking inspiration or for anyone who’s been running on autopilot and wants support tuning in and going deeper. These last two effects are my favourites. To me, a cup of Blue Lotus tea or a few drops of tincture feels similar to the calm, centred shift you get when pausing to reflect, set intentions, or in prayer.

Herbal Actions
Nervine relaxant: soothes the nervous system

Euphoric: gently uplifts mood and promotes bliss

Aphrodisiac: enhances sensuality and intimacy, may have positive effects on erectile dysfunction

Oneirogenic: supports vivid and lucid dreaming

Active Constituents
Apomorphine: a dopamine agonist that promotes relaxation and mood enhancement

Nuciferine: acts on serotonin and dopamine receptors, contributing to sedation and gentle euphoria

Flavonoids & glycosides: antioxidant and supportive actions

Volatile oils: gives blue lotus it’s subtle floral scent and calming effects

Herbal Applications
Tea/infusion: Dried petals or whole flower steeped in hot water for a calming evening ritual. The whole flower can be topped up with water several times. Tip! Sometimes the β€˜core’ of the flower can thicken your cup of tea. If you do not like this just steep the petals. We have whole dried blue lotus flowers available here

Mocktails and herbal cordials: can be infused into simple syrup with other botanicals like lavender or fresh basil as a lovely flavoured cordial to have with soda water after work as a relaxing and mood enhancing evening wine alternative. You can also add a dropper full of our Good Vibes Only and Blue Lotus Elixir to any cocktail or mocktail. Its also beautiful dropped into warm cacao.

Tincture: Concentrated alcohol extract drops. We have our Good Vibes Only triple extract tincture and our alcohol free Blue Lotus Elixir here

Wine or spirit infusion: used ceremonially as well as recreationally infused in wines in Ancient Egypt. You can either put a dried flower in your glass of wine or infuse several in a full bottle for a few days.

Smoking or incense: May be used in a herbal smoking blend or rolled into incense. Start with just a little to see how your constitution sits with this. Herbs that go well with blue lotus for this are damiana, rose and mugwort.

Topical/skincare: Blue Lotus essential oil, oil infusions and extracts are soothing, antioxidant-rich, and hydrating; ideal for facial oils, serums, body oils and massage oils. Has been used as an anointing oil.

Best enjoyed in the evening for relaxation, dreaming, or intimacy, though some people use tincture in the daytime for creativity, focus and to lift mood.

Safety & Contraindications
Pregnancy & breastfeeding: There is very little research on Blue Lotus in pregnancy or breastfeeding (mostly for ethical reasons), so standard practice is to recommend avoiding it during that season of life.

Pharmaceutical interactions: caution with antidepressants, antipsychotics, Parkinson’s or sleep medications

Side effects: uncommon, though excess can cause dizziness or nausea. As with any herb, start slow and see how is works with your individual and unique constitution.

Legal status: Unresitricted in New Zealand

Folklore & History
Blue Lotus was seen as a cosmic flower in Ancient Egypt. Its blooms open with the sun and close at night, making it a natural symbol of creation and rebirth. It was associated with the sun god Ra and used in ritual, medicine, and wine. Artistic depictions often show Egyptians inhaling the flower and steeping in wine.

Why should I integrate Blue Lotus into my herbal practice?
Blue lotus is wonderful herb to invite into your routine. It is a mood lifting and joy enhancing plant ally that offers a gentle breath at the end of the day, allows one to communicate with more grace and ease, and may even be used as a tool to figure things out while you are dreaming. It’s so lovely.

I've been quiet.. or so it seems..
Quiet on here anyway..
Appearances can be deceptive..
I'm still making rongoa and healing myself,
I'll be taking Mirimiri bookings in 3-6months..
After Christmas for sure..
It's been an interesting eclipse season and rough winter for some of us..
Never fear, spring is here
I'm doing some research and trying to source a broader range of rongoa, and branch out to offer other services, astrology aromatantra and advocacy being two .. πŸ˜‰
And the rest I'll keep under my hat till it's done..
Alot of admin tings.. funding and registering and all the tings..
All I know is that froggy 🐸 medicina is calling me
And I have a fair bit of admin to do.. but I'm good with that.
I am looking forward to evening walks on the wharf after dinner now that it's getting lighter and warming up ..
🌱 🌼 🌱
I am based in Motupohoe (Bluff)
once I source a clinic we on.. and looking into retreats with a host of yummy modalities ..

And watch this space, for other things in the wings

See updates and treatment menus following the Christmas holiday (which I'm really looking forward to this year.)

If anything develops faster you will be in the know.. until then happy foraging everyone.
