Chiron - Herbal Body Oil - Organic, Wildcrafted

from $24.94
Hardship leaves us with a suit of armor.  We crafted it to fight the battle.  But our innate wisdom reminded us — craft a key.  That way, you can unlock yourself from this armor when you need.

Often though, we never feel safe enough to leave the armor behind.  The years pass, and we forget about the key.

In comes the myth of Chiron — maverick, wise centaur of the healing arts.  He learned his gifts sitting beneath a Linden tree, which turned out to be his own mother who Cronus had transfigured.

Despite Chiron’s aptitude to heal others, when he was shot by one of Heracle’s poison-dipped arrows, the centaur could not mend his own wound.  His agony led him down a destined path to a new phase of wisdom:  he entered the underworld willingly, giving up his immortality.  He embraced darkness, and through doing so, he freed Prometheus, the bearer of light.

Chiron— symbolized in astrology by a key.  A key to unlock the wisdom garnered from the hardship.  The key in knowing “the wound is the place where the light enters you”, as Rumi writes.

The key of Chiron asks— how can your deepest hurts lead you towards an understanding of your wider potential?  By coming to terms with your hardship, you can rewrite each story as one that teaches and strengthens you, rather than leaving you a perpetual victim.

This body oil, featuring mainly Yarrow- an herb deeply associated with Chiron- serves as a way to connect with these themes. In addition to Yarrow, the herbs within: sage (for warming wisdom), angelica (awakening what's numb), hawthorn (attuning to the liminal heart), and linden (an homage to chiron's mother).

The oil feels incredibly warming, with a pungent earthy scent that’s a hint animalic. Apply it all over, but especially those parts of your body that feel numbed or heavy with past hurts.
