Achillea millefolium
2oz amber glass spray bottle | distilled summer 2025
Distilled from summer leaves and blossoms, this Yarrow Hydrosol is soothing, protective, and harmonizing.
Yarrow has been revered as a wound healer and boundary keeper for centuries. Its hydrosol supports both physical and energetic integrity—calming inflammation while strengthening the aura.
Named for Achilles, who used it to heal wounds, Yarrow is a warrior’s and healer’s herb. The Chinese I Ching was traditionally cast with yarrow stalks, connecting it to oracular sight and divination. Druidic lore honors Yarrow as a guardian plant that binds and protects the energetic field. It strengthens spiritual boundaries and offers protection in ritual and healing work.
Physical Uses: Excellent skin toner; eases redness, irritation, or mild inflammation.
Emotional Uses: Helps release tension, supports centered calm.
Mental Uses: Brings focus and discernment during emotional overwhelm.
Spiritual/Energetic Uses: Protects from energetic intrusion, strengthens boundaries, and aids divination.
Ways to Use Yarrow Hydrosol:
Mist around yourself before ritual or healing work.
Use as a daily toner for sensitive skin.
Spray onto altars or sacred tools for protection.
Keep nearby when working in emotionally charged spaces.
Artemisia absinthium
2oz amber glass spray bottle | distilled summer 2025
Distilled with care in my copper alembic, this Wormwood Hydrosol captures the wild, resinous spirit of one of the most legendary Artemisia plants.
Wormwood has long been associated with protection, clarity, and crossing thresholds between worlds. It is used to cleanse stagnant energy and awaken sharp focus, helping dissolve illusions or fatigue that obscure vision.
Linked with Hecate, Persephone, and the rites of crossing, Wormwood has long been a herb of the in-between. The Greeks used it in ritual wine to honor the dead and guide spirits. In medieval Europe and Taoist practice alike, its bitter scent was said to drive away harmful influences. It sharpens perception, clears illusions, and fortifies spiritual boundaries.
Wormwood is perhaps the best anti-parasitic ally there is — not just for the intestinal ones, but the energetic ones: Misting regularly with wormwood can help keep energetic bugs at bay.
Physical Uses: Supports healthy skin, tones oily areas, and can be used as a clarifying body or room mist.
Emotional Uses: Encourages release of grief, strengthens inner boundaries, and restores confidence.
Mental Uses: Sharpens awareness, clears fog, and aids study or ritual precision.
Spiritual/Energetic Uses: Guards the energetic field, assists in banishment and protection work, and opens pathways for deep visionary practice.
Ways to Use Wormwood Hydrosol:
Mist around your workspace to restore focus and alertness.
Use before divination or trance to heighten clarity.
Spray on the soles of the feet or back of the neck to ground scattered energy.
Add to floor washes or ritual cleansing sprays.
Artemisia Ludoviciana
What a blessing to grow my own sustainable version of white sage here in the high deserts of Central Oregon ♥
Also known as Silver Sage, this plant is deeply cleansing on every dimension.
Made with fresh leaves and carefully distilled in my copper alembic, this hydrosol is cleansing and grounding qualities. Traditionally used by Native American tribes in smudging ceremonies, Artemisia is known for purifying the mind, body, and spirit. It helps clear emotional clutter, provides mental grounding, and energetically prepares one for spiritual practices.
Known to many tribes as a sacred purifier, White Sagebrush is used for cleansing the self and environment, inviting clarity and ancestral connection. Its silvery leaves hold lunar power, making it ideal for renewal, protection, and vision work.
Note: This is not the endangered salvia apiana. It is a beautiful native sagebrush in the artemesia family.
Physical Uses: Soothes inflammation, reduces acne, and provides gentle support for minor skin irritations.
Emotional Uses: Releases emotional heaviness and promotes grounding.
Mental Uses: Helps clear mental fog and encourages a calm, centered mind.
Spiritual/Energetic Uses: Purifies energy, supports intuitive work, and strengthens the connection to nature.
Ways to Use the Hydrosol:
Mist as an alternative to smoke smudging.
Spray on skin for a refreshing, grounding effect.
Use in meditation or spiritual spaces to enhance focus.
Spritz around your body to refresh energy after a challenging day.
Use in ritual baths for purification.
Mist on linens for a calming, earthy scent.
A limited number of pure hydrosol bottles are available.

Rewilding the Temple™

Nectar & Alchemy™
The way of sacred aromatics
Through art, we remember the soul. Through beauty, we remember devotion. Through fragrance, we walk the path of alchemy.
I have worked with custom essences crafted from essential oils for years. Blends that were made just for me and my personal, human, and spiritual journey. Never have I felt such instant resonance and deep connection as I just did opening my perfume from Juniper. It’s like remembering that “thing” you’ve been trying to remember for years alongside a deep, deep presence and sense of being that is bathed in alignment and love. Thank you, Juniper for claiming, nurturing, and honoring your gifts so that you could share it with each of us. Namasté, siSTAR!

a living tradition of sacred aromatics
I’m Juniper Stokes, founder of Alchemessence™ — a botanical perfumery and mystery school devoted to sacred aromatics, ritual arts, and the living intelligence of nature.
As a perfumer and multidisciplinary artist, I create small-batch fragrances, natural pigments, ritual art, and ceremonial experiences, rooted in the belief that beauty can transform consciousness.
My work draws from the traditions of alchemy and animism, translated through a contemporary and deeply sensory lens.
Each offering is created as an invitation into deeper relationship with the body, the imagination, the Earth, and the unseen patterns that shape our lives.
This work takes place on land ceded under pressure to Oregon Territory in the Treaty of 1855 by Paiute, Wasco, and Warm Springs tribal chiefs. May this work be in service to the benevolent beings who still tend this sacred land.
