Holiday Greetings from Stars in Jars

As we turn the wheel of the year this December towards the Winter Solstice, we approach the longest night of the year when the Goddess transformed as Great Mother will labor to give birth to the Sun King, the God. In this season of long nights while we honor the return of the light in many traditions, Stars in Jars chose one of our full moon essences, Hina Full Moon, as our Featured Essence. With kisses of a warm tropical breeze, we send our wishes that the promise of renewal and return of the Sun’s warmth bless you this season.

Hina Full Moon was made on an enchanted tropical evening under an August full moon on the shore of West Maui facing the island of Lana’i. As the glorious moonlight illuminated the star-filled sky and sparkled on the waters of the pacific ocean, night birds flew silently overhead, while sand crabs danced their way along the beach. A chalice with Hawaiian spring water was placed on a sand altar to gather Hina’s blessings that we now offer to you.

Hina is a Hawaiian Goddess who appears in many forms throughout Polynesia, including as the mother of the moon and stars. She is associated with the moon, the ocean, women’s Kapa making, and healing. She bestows blessings of replenishment and renewal. This essence is wonderful for honoring the Divine nature within each of us, especially in times of darkness and searching.

Available in dropper or spray. The spray formula is enhanced with essential oil of jasmine, a night blooming flower that is associated with goddesses, the moon, mysteries of the night, psychic protection, and dreaming.

"Hina Full Moon is a delightful blend of essences that delights the senses. I use the spray, used for clearing spaces, to move energy out between giving psychic readings. It is absolutely divine! No residual energy at all between clients, and I am more able to release previous energies more effectively. Subtle yet powerful!" ~ M.S., Psychic

With StarWater Blessings from Stars in Jars

As we turn the wheel of the year, we feel the sunlight receding. The rhythm of the season calls us to slow down our pace, and draws us inward for reflection and renewal. Autumn is traditionally a time to remember and honor our ancestors of blood and spirit. Now as the veils between the worlds become thin, we have especially powerful access to the strength and wisdom available within the elements of nature and ourselves, we can call upon them to help move us forward into and through the winter.

Glacier Water is our current Featured Essence. A wonderful remedy to increase the flow in places where energy has become stagnant. Use to cleanse, renew, revitalize and tap into Source energy.

Waters hand collected from Perito Moreno Glacier in Argentina and Kokanee Glacier in Canada are combined in this limited edition environmental formula. The joining of Southern and Northern waters evokes a deep sense of connection to Source that spans space and time. Glacial ice crystals carry ancient memories. As the ice melts, ions are released into the air, and their messages and wisdom become available to us. When we slow down and listen, we will hear them.

Glacier Water is available only as a spray, enhanced with a fabulous blend of essential oils of: Seaweed, Juniper, Sea Buckthorn Berry, Spike Lavender, Rosewood, Rosemary, Pine, Cypress Tips, Blue Tansy, and Atlas Cedarwood. Mist yourself or a room and call forth the refreshing sparkle of crystal clear water to bring a sense of well being and calm reassurance.

“I did not seek wildness. It chose me, bringing panther cubs and river meanders, mystery and galaxies into my life. I did not look for cellular memory. It found me, threading ancestral wisdom with the knowledge of stones and trees. I did not want this solitary path. It chased me from childhood, flowed into every awareness, taught me to keep going no matter how great the grief.”
~ Meg Beeler, Earth Caretakers

It provides a sweet energy that welcomes you into other dimensions. The connection with guiding spirits is instant and I feel protected. A great adjunct to journeying.”

Bearded Iris is Here!

She bloomed just in time for our debut at the Underground Farmer's Market! This sweet essence is for when we seek vertical alignment to focus our scattered energy. This essence connects the crown chakra to the higher realms. Providing first a bird's eye view of a situation, followed by a "spotlight" that will show us what needs attention and focus. This illuminated perspective is perfect when one is mired in mundane details and needs an energy lift into the sacred.

As a testament to this essence's efficacy, we took her throughout the night of the Market and were able to remain vertical without letting the energy of over 1200 people blow us out! She gave us the ability to focus on one person and remain in the heart while allowing us to zero in on the individual's need.
