The Flower Essence Handbook: Our Jasmine, Solar, Lunar and Twilight Series

Flower blossoms floating in a bowl of water under moonlight

People often ask where to begin with our essences, so we put together this handbook. Every remedy we make belongs to one of four series. The series tells you something about how the essence was prepared and the kind of work it tends to do. All of our essences come in 1 oz bottles, and half ounce bottles are available on request at half price.

The Jasmine Series

Jasmine is Jimmy's oldest plant ally, and these essences are all heart medicine. Grand Duke Jasmine, our noble heart opener, brings emotional uplift and confidence with gentleness. South African Jasmine offers heart centered healing, self love and reconnection with the spiritual self. Pink Star Jasmine, prepared on a Pisces Full Moon, supports inner peace, dream work and navigating emotional wetness. Grand BerryMoon, made with malachite on the Strawberry Full Moon, is our elixir of ripe love for deep heart transformation and courage in vulnerability.

The Solar Series

Solar essences are prepared under the desert sun and tend toward confidence, clarity, boundaries and joy. Zinnia, the Joy Bringer, lifts heaviness and sparks play. Palo Verde meets self judgment with self acceptance. Desert Lavender calms and regulates the nervous system. Wild Sun Spirit (brittlebush) restores motivation and forward movement. Emerald Ember and Serenity Shield, both from basil, work with harmony and wholeness in relationships.

Several solar essences are crystal infused: Lemon Opal with yellow opal for daily aura clearing, Grand Risings Sunflower and Lion's Tail with sunstone for self worth and leadership, and Flax with amazonite as a deeply stabilizing heart remedy. Hollyhock holds healthy boundaries and ancestral healing, Mugwort opens dreaming and inner sight, and Veiled Desert Priestess, our largest blend, awakens grounded confidence and quiet magnetism.

The Lunar Series

Lunar essences are made under specific moons and carry that moon's teaching. Xena (zinnia with blue apatite, Pisces Full Moon) integrates light and shadow. Soul Tap (rose and carnation, Gemini New Moon) weaves heart and mind. Moontide and Cosmic Clarity, both Soul Tap prepared with moldavite on the Sturgeon Full Moon, make deep shifts feel safe and pierce mental fog. Alyssum (Snow Full Moon) calms frayed nerves, and Evening Sun (sunflower, Worm Full Moon) offers gentle rather than performative confidence.

The Twilight Series

Our twilight essences were gathered in the last light before the Hunter and Harvest Moons rose. Ashen Twilight (ashwagandha) is grounding strength and spiritual resilience. Song of the Stag (carnation) brings heartfire renewal and joy after loss. Spiritroot Bloom (amaranth) carries endurance and ancestral wisdom. Solar Tongue of the Moon (calendula) is ripened expression and radiant truth. Hunter's Grace (rose) holds love, courage and protection. Edge of La Luna (lemongrass) offers clarity, boundaries and action at the threshold.
