Hellebore And Hemlock

Scent Notes: Copal, tart green figs, elderberry, rhubarb, clove, musk, patchouli, hemlock, cold earth, supporting your local witch and dry amber.

This was Day 6 in our Yule Advent Calendar.

This scent evokes a rather witchy vibe. Not the Halloween witch though. Not the witch in movies that does a spell, cackles, and proceeds to sprinkle sparkly green dust on you. And not the witch that wears all black and seems to live in a crypt with a bunch of bejeweled accessories. No. This is the witch you have to go on a hike to seek out. She lives kind of out of the way, though isn't totally a hermit. Her power comes from the plants. She knows all of the plants, and she knows what to do with them. She is the witch you go to for a belly ache cure or to make your husband slowly go blind by feeding him soup every night. Her house is scattered with all of the herbs and flowers and barks that she's collected. Hemlock and Hellebore will remind you that medicine and poison are not so different, and in a single dried bouquet you can find a myriad of consequences. Best to leave it up to the professionals. #supportyourlocalwitch
