Autumn 2024 Herbal Package
A collaboration between Sasha Botanica & Dan de Lion of Return to Nature, this Autumn Herbal Package is a seasonal bundle of handcrafted, foraged herbal products to embrace the energetics of Autumn.
In exploring the local landscape we foraged & grew each plant that went into our crafts. Being able to create each of these items is a living prayer that we can offer you - the depth of this connection to nature, as our growing community-supported herbalism effort. This ensures that your donations sustain our capacity to continue crafting from the seasonal landscape for you.
Artemisia Elder Elixir (2oz)
A potent, handcrafted blend of nature’s most powerful ingredients, designed to support wellness and vitality. This unique elixir combines wild-harvested elderberry and autumn olive berry, renowned for their immune-boosting properties, with chaga and white pine for deep nourishment and grounding energy.
The addition of Sweet Annie, mugwort, and wormwood brings in the ancient, mystical qualities of Artemisia plants, known for their protective and healing powers. Local honey and propolis enhance the formula with natural antimicrobial benefits, while organic apple cider vinegar, spring water, and pure cane alcohol preserve the integrity of the ingredients and provide a smooth, invigorating base.
This elixir can be taken by the dropper for daily immune support or added to water or tea for a flavorful, fortifying tonic. A true gift from the forest and field, Artemisia Elder Elixir connects you with the rich wisdom of the plants and the nourishing energy of the earth.

Artemisia Soap
Handcrafted with saponified oils of Sweet Wormwood-infused olive oil, coconut oil, castor oil, and nourishing shea butter, this soap delivers a gentle yet rich lather. The addition of powdered Mugwort and Mugwort essential oil enhances its purifying properties, making it ideal for a refreshing, grounding cleanse that leaves the skin feeling soft and invigorated.
Witches Ritual Salve (1oz)
A mystical blend crafted for ritual and personal transformation. This salve is made with Sweet Annie infused olive oil, known for its cleansing and protective qualities, combined with the potent energy of Datura leaf infused in sweet almond oil, lending a deep, magical resonance to the blend. Powdered Mugwort enhances the salve’s connection to intuition and dreamwork, while local beeswax provides a soothing, natural base to seal in moisture.
Due to the powerful nature of Datura, this salve should be used lightly and with discretion, as it is intended for mindful, intentional application. Perfect for anointing the skin before meditation or ritual work, this salve offers a sacred way to connect with the ancient wisdom of plants.
Artemisia Hydrosol (2oz)
Locally distilled from freshly harvested Mugwort and Sweet Wormwood, this hydrosol captures the plants ethereal essence. It can be spritzed on the skin for a refreshing burst of hydration or used in your environment to clear and balance the energy around you.
Goldenrod Pear Cordial (4oz)
A cordial is a concentrated, sweetened infusion made from herbs, fruits, and botanicals, typically used in small amounts for its intense flavor. This particular cordial captures the essence of autumn, featuring smoky local whiskey infused with foraged goldenrod, ripe pear, honey, and a hint of cinnamon. It's a warming blend of earthy and sweet flavors, perfect for adding a seasonal touch to your drinks and dishes.
Here are some creative ways to enjoy this seasonal cordial:
Mixed into Drinks: Cordials are often added to beverages for a burst of flavor. You can mix them with sparkling water, soda, tonic, or even hot water for a warming drink. They are also great in cocktails or mocktails as a flavor enhancer.
Over Ice Cream or Desserts: A drizzle of cordial over vanilla ice cream, fruit salad, or cakes adds a sweet and flavorful touch.
In Cooking or Baking: Some cordials can be used to flavor sauces, dressings, or baked goods like cakes and muffins. They can add depth and sweetness to savory dishes as well.
Medicinal Use: Traditionally, herbal cordials were used as remedies, with ingredients chosen for their medicinal properties. Some people still use herbal cordials in small amounts to support health, depending on the herbs used (e.g., elderberry cordials for immune support).
