TRAVELING APOTHECARY
TRAVELING APOTHECARY
Signed in as:
filler@godaddy.com

I am a wildling hailing from a long line of traveling west coast creatives. A salt of the Earth person, spending my time with a small circle I hold dear.
Cradled by the Pacific Northwest, gratefully dwelling within Chifin, the sacred valley of the Kalapuya~Chelamela people. I am happy to call Oregon my home, it is beautiful and I do my best to tread lightly.
I walk the path as a folk herbalist and a conjuror of beauty, practicing bioregional esoteric herbalism. Moving with reverence, rooted in Earth mysticism and the psychedelia of the cosmos. Charmed and guided by folklore, animism, minerals, the verdant green and ways bygone. I am passionately learning my ancestral wisdoms, with a special interest in Paleobotany. I am enrolled in ongoing studies with The School Of Evolutionary Herbalism.
Always a student, always learning, be aware, be open.
Inspiration is flowing in these strange shifting times. I meet the twisting path, passionately creating magic.
With 32 plus years in the beauty industry as a aesthetics practitioner and formulator along with over two decades herbalist training, I am inspired to create my skincare and herbal potions mindfully that are historically inclined.
My roots are in the wise woman tradition. My honey is arcanum. I reclaim as a green witch hag.
Through hardship and grief I've grown wings.
For locals I serve up magically nuanced spa beauty rituals.
I strive to make my spa offerings financially accessible.
After 30 plus years my Eugene client studio is closed.

In 2009 my online selling adventures started with Etsy as Black Dove Botanicals.
I have morphed and grown so much since my humble beginnings.
After my beloved's death I retired my persona as Black Dove Botanicals, he was such a big part of it and It broke my heart and nearly took me out. I continue to find my way. For a year I linked up for a collaborative marketing project BLETSÜNG with my daughter Rose. After unsuccessfully resurrecting to what my life was "before" my loves passing I've become inspired to jump into the vast unknown, exploring with an open heart and a sword on my back. I have never felt so vulnerable and finding solid ground has been interesting to say the least.
After 32 years my chapter is closing out in Eugene and who knows where the wind will blow me. The returning of roots, a traveling apothecary I shall be as I scout for sanctuary.
As my daughter headed south and Bletsüng wound down, my current side show incarnation is Mavra Peristeria Votanika which translates to Little Black Doves and Botanical. Its like home but yet I can't speak the words. Will it morph? Most likely.
My Etsy shop is currently dedicated to my unusual occult formulations along wit a few tried and trues and my traditional skin care line is found here at Dream Alchemy Beauty.
Thank You For Witnessing My Journey
