33. ROWAN FEATHER

Keywords: Protecting

For protecting good things that don't want to be exposed to the light. For sensitivity to the light. Also exposes to the light that which is ever-dark, binding it in pure strands, diminishing its hold to a pin-prick and banishing its residue out of harm's way. The bottle is black but out of it comes only good.

Background to the essence
This essence is made from the energies of the Rowan Tree and the Chough bird. It uses the energies of black and red. Rowan is a magical tree traditionally used for protection against enchantment. Its bark and red berries can be used as a black dye. The chough is a member of the crow family which lives on sea cliffs, so it is a "black gull", with black body and red beak and legs. The complete complement to the silver seagull of these original essences. The essence gives very strong protection.

33. ROWAN FEATHER

The Black and the Red

When black is all around
From long ago,
And when it came and what it is
You'd like to know

Then ask the rowan bird.

The clarity it brings
Will show you how
To clear it out and send it back
And heal it now

The bird is here for this.

Sometimes this bird is there
To lead the way
Its calls and ways are messages
A means to say

I'm chough and tough and here.

Go - fly with me - I'm the black cliff bird.
