Danu
floral, woods, citrus, green leaves, carnation, iris, spring blossoms, warm spice
A soft breeze brings the aroma of spring flowers…yet there is magic in their midst. Warm and sweet spices begin to emerge as you enter the sacred grove of ancient woods. Placing your palm upon the earth, the fae appear. Recognizing one of their own by the fragrance you wear, they welcome you into their secret realms.
This is a ceremonial-grade, natural perfume that may be used as both a daily fragrance and ritual aromatic.
Drawing from my decades of experience as a natural perfumer, wild priestess, and spiritual wisdom keeper, I intentionally selected the rare and potent plants in this blend to create a perfume that is both a work of art and elixir of transformation.

a botanical perfume for the high priestess and earth mother
Danu is the great mother goddess of the Tuatha Dé Danann, the magical race of the Celtic tradition who are inextricably linked with the fae. Her perfume is elegant, floral, and lightly herbaceous with just the right amount of spice—a divine elixir to connect with the fairy kingdom and awaken the priestess within.
Notes: sweet amber and vanilla, precious florals, hints of herbs and warm spice
Magical Highlights:
A bouquet of precious florals—orris, jasmine, rose, neroli, and carnation honor the spiritual gifts of the high priestess
Flowers for the fae—linden blossoms and violets carry the essence of the fairy folk
Precious woods—oud and rosewood bring us the sacred connection between heaven and earth
Rituals:
Danu blesses those who wish to connect with the fairy realms, to awaken esoteric wisdom from the Celtic tradition, or to tune into the high priestess within. Use the following ritual to open your communication with the fae.
Anoint or spray your wrists, neck, and third eye with Danu’s perfume. As you do, affirm:
I call upon the great goddess Danu and receive her unconditional love now. I gratefully accept her many blessings into my life.
I now release any fears or blocks around communicating with the fairy realms. I hold in my heart the intention to live in harmony with nature and act as a steward of the Earth. I ask that the fae recognize my pure heart and good intentions, so we may cultivate a relationship of empowerment and joy for all involved.
When they decide whether or not to communicate with us, the fae take into consideration how we treat the Earth and all the plants and animals that live here. Show the fae that you care with your actions, and leave them offerings of food and crystals that come from your heart.
