‘Elder’ flower lotion.
Elder flower has been used since the earliest times in sacred ceremony, medicine, healing, and drink mixes such as cordials, jams and sacred nonalcoholic wine. The elder has long been considered a magic plant of protection that can ward off evil spirits. With its berry bursts and tiny white flowers, the elder tree is considered one of today’s beauty and healing essentials and is used in many pharmacy medicines and lotions.
The bewitching elder flower extract can be made into tantalising and cleansing lotions to revitalise and soften the skin. Within this sensuous flower we can discover the cooling effects of elder as it nourishes and soothes sore eyes, when it is made into a healing gel.
Elder is also used in mixes to treat colds, flu and fever. Drinking elder tea can aid against these symptoms. In ancient folklore and mythology it is said that washing your face in the dew from the elder flower enhanced and rejuvenated skin, leaving you with shimmering irresistiblesmooth skin.
Elder flower can lighten blooming freckles when used as a lotion and is also used in repellent sprays, and potions for healing cuts and infammation. The elder tree is prevalent in many traditions and I would like to highlight its association with faeries, where the elder wood was made into treasured instruments, flutes, and magical wands. The elder is sacred also to the Goddess in her three aspects, of mother, maiden and crone where the leaves, flowers and fruit represent her. She also protects her woods and all who dwell within her dimensions.
The elder is infused in mythical legend symbolising compassion. In traditional folklore the elder tree is the home of the divine female spirit known as the ‘Elder Lady’. She is seen in the pillow mist of the enchanting moonlit nights bathed in her energies in a black gown and white shawl.
Elder flower in ‘lotions and potions’ allows you a sensory experience from its magic, and healing properties for happy skin that has been exposed to cuts and insect bites and for the enriching brilliance of pearly cheeks and luminous eyes.
The Elder tree symbolises birth and death and of beginning and end.
