Roman Chamomile-
Under moonlit meadows and star-flecked skies, Roman Chamomile grows low to the ground-humble, soft, yet anciently wise. Its fragrance is the lullaby of the Earth, the sigh of the Divine Mother, the breath of calm in a restless soul.
It is the herb of the priestess midwife, of dreamers, of soft-footed witches walking barefoot in dew. Roman Chamomile soothes what aches in the spirit, speaks to the wounded inner child, & returns the seeker to sacred quiet.
To smell it is to hear a whispered lullaby from the ancestors: “Rest, beloved. You are safe.”
