New! Cailleach mist essential oil 💙

On the first of February the Cailleach stirs, if she intends to make the winter last a good while longer, she will make sure the weather on 1 February is bright and sunny, so she can gather plenty of firewood to keep herself warm for the coming months. The word Cailleach literally means 'old woman, a hag', and is found in modern Irish and Scottish Gaelic. She carries a hammer for shaping the hills and valleys, and is said to be the mother of all the goddesses and gods. The Cailleach displays several traits befitting the personification of winter, she herds deer, she fights spring, and her staff freezes the ground.

In her honour we’ve crafted an essential oil made with icy peppermint leaves, eucalyptus, lemon and cloves. It creates an aroma of winter’s biting chill, and is available now on our website in 10ml vials for £8.95 and we offer free local postage or standard rate UK, EU and US shipping 🖤💙🖤
