Growing up my GRANDmother was a powerful & graceful healer. A blk Grrl from the deep south who grew & harvested Poke in her back yard on the west side of Detroit. 

I watched her mix lotions & oils- Separate egg yolks for  facials. She ran hot steamy baths at the crack of dawn & misted herself in floral aromas & spoke of the healing power of goldenseal & tumeric. 

My GRANDma is an ancestor now & adaornment is an ode to all the ancestral wisdom-the Earth wisdom-that her lineage has granted me access to. 

Adaornment is reclamation on behalf of all our GRANDmothers who carried the kitchen healing of foremothers into our hearts. Those who covered us in clay when we were ill & had us taking shots of castor oil before the chill came in autumn. 

These elixirs, tonics, whipped butters & balms are as much for your Spirit as they are for your skin. Use them in ritual, cover yourself as ceremony, remember that you are sacred. Remember that you are whole already. 

Remember that you have Power to heal, nourish, & enrich your entire bloodline.
