MIWAHÏMOON
A First Nations Perfume with citrus and sweetgrass
By Blue Eagle
Traditionally, the Elders will often burn sage to chase the heavy energies
and then they will burn sweetgrass to attract beneficial energies and favourable
circumstances. I’ll always remember this Native American colleague whom I met at
a book fair. He was sitting at a stand with his new volume that had just been
published. I sat down with him for a few minutes. He loved to talk with the
crowd and he had hidden a braid of sweetgrass under the table. Every time that
there was less affluence, he would discretely light his braid under the table
for a couple of moments. We would smell the sweet fragrance and immediately, to
his joy, more people would show up taking an interest in his new work.
Invocation’s Liquid Smudge is very masculine and its purifying effect is
powerful and instantaneous. It also evaporates quickly which is by design.
Originally, the product was conceived for therapists who wanted to purify their
workspace and the electromagnetic field around their patients, and to do this in
places where traditional smudging could not be used. In fact, it is important
that the fragrance evaporate fast so as not to taint the space, once
purification is complete. So the energetic charge of the surrounding ambiance is
“neutral”, allowing for the creation of the desired energies. The Liquid Smudge
contains 2 varieties of sage and lots of thuya (Canadian Cedar) which amplifies
the masculine purification qualities.
MIWAHIMOON on the other hand will remain on the skin and its beautiful scent
will linger for hours. It slowly releases 3 notes, containing sweet, floral and
woody scents. The topnote has a predominance of citrus (bergamot, orange, lemon,
mandarin), evoking light and luminous thoughts, a enchanting heart note with a
green and slightly floral bias (rosemary, basil, benzoin, vetiver, sage and
lavender) and an endnote that is both woody and sweet (cistus, cedar, vanilla,
sweetgrass, benzoin, oakmoss) bringing an aura of auspicious feelings. The
dominant fragrance is sweetgrass.
As with all the Invocation products, it contains specific intentions that are
encoded through specific rituals which I developed to amplify the properties of
our products. I use this unique process in all our aromatherapy products. The
encoded intentions for Miwahïmoon are: attracting beneficial energies,
favourable circumstances, clarity and harmony.
There are several ways to use Miwahïmoon. It is a complement to the Liquid Smudge. Ideally, one uses Liquid Smudge a few minutes before Miwahïmoon. It is important to purify before invoking our potential to draw in favourable energies. So, waiting a few minutes between fragrances is necessary because the two have very different fragrances and they do not mix well. Then you use Miwahïmoon. The easiest way consists of vaporising on your wrists and your neck, like you would perfume. I recommend that you also put some on your palms to encourage the integration of the encoding. Personally, I also vaporise some on the back of my hand because I love to smell the scent frequently and this makes it easier. When in a group or wok session setting, vaporise 4 times in the center of the room.
While I was creating Miwahïmoon, I developped another more ritualistic way.
It started as a leitmotiv, as a kind of persistent urging and it ended up as a
method for the use of this new product. It is a small ritual which favourably
influences and facilitates creation on all levels. Start by vaporising
Invocation Liquid Smudge in the four corners of the room, if possible in the
four cardinal directions starting with north, then west, south and east
(counterclockwise), i.e. the opposite of the movement of the sun as well as your
own energy field. Wait 10 minutes while concentrating your thoughts on the
intentions you wish to generate or on what you want to create.
Then, standing in the center of the room, or at your workplace, you vaporise
Miwahïmoon in all four directions going clockwise this time, starting with east,
then south, west and north. You can also apply it on your wrists and neck. Next,
do a slow clockwise 360°, following the path of the sun, arms outstretched in
front of you, with palms up. Calmly visualise what you wish to create in your
life, such as joyful circumstances, or the means to realise your projects. All
the essential oils will work together in synergy and they will amplify the
creative power of your thoughts. Miwahïmoon is an interesting tool to amplify
your creative potential as well as being a very inspiring and pleasant olfactive
companion.
