As nightfall descends, She begins the sacred undoing of shedding the burdens of the day -- rising reborn, unmasked, radiant and utterly whole.

In the shadowed hour when day surrenders to night, it is time to step out of the world’s reach and return to yourself.  It may only be a few moments of turning inward, to leave behind the noise and the many faces of the day, but even in the smallest sliver of silence, there is a doorway – a doorway that summons forth your truest self and reclaims the Sovereign coiled in silence. 

The Sovereign looks in the mirror and meets her reflection – not to fix but instead, an act of release – to see herself clearly and to remember her wholeness – it is not about beautifying, it is about revealing.  It is in this sacred knowing; that the unmasking begins with our Ravenbane Cleansing Balm –- your ritual of return. 

Crafted for the shedding of all that is not yours to hold, our Ravenbane Cleansing Balm, is the first passage in your ritual.  From the moment your skin is anointed with our balm, your hands become the spell that melts away makeup, dirt, grime, and emotional residue.  With each sweep across the skin, it calls back the fragmented pieces that have been scattered from the day -- leaving only what is sacred -- your pure essence.  It is in this quiet power of your becoming that you remember: you are not removing what made you beautiful, you are removing what made you forget.

As you transition between worlds, our balm marks the threshold.  As a voice from hidden realms, the Raven -- seer of worth and truth -- initiates the transformation of this sacred shedding.  Through protection and clarity the Raven makes space for the soul’s radiant core to emerge with each tending of the sacred self.  These moments of alchemical cleansing summon your inner Sovereign – she who reflects back your truest self.  Unmasked, barefaced, renewed and whole, she reveals a face that does not need adornment to be powerful.  She is a woman who answers to no gaze but her own -- and remembers who she is beneath all the world has asked her to be. 

And with every circular motion in your nightly cleansing ritual, our alchemical blend of nourishing oils, botanicals and butters invoke the power of nature to cleanse, restore and renew skin, while magick of the Old Ways unbinds and banishes environmental pollution and stressors, and energetically dispels lingering negativity and auric debris.  

Let this be your invitation to a sacred unmasking — the quiet reclaiming of your power, where the Sovereign rises to reign once more and skin is prepared for deeper treatment before restful slumber.

For a truly transformative experience, follow with our Crone 40 Winks Beautifying Oil, a potent elixir that draws on the wisdom of the Crone to guide your journey towards timeless beauty and grace.

Raven's Message

When you meet your reflection in the mirror to use our Ravenbane Cleansing Balm, it is an act of release.  It is not about beautifying, it is about revealing – to see yourself clearly and to remember your wholeness. In this sacred knowing you are not removing what made you beautiful, you are removing what made you forget.

Guidance for your Rituals of Selfcare

Each blend within The Black Raven collection is lovingly crafted with potent botanicals, and rich skin-loving oils and butters. Yet, even the most exquisite potion may not suit every skin type. If you are pregnant, nursing, or have known sensitivities to nuts, latex, or specific botanicals, we advise consulting your physician before use. To honor your skin’s wisdom, perform a patch test before weaving any new formula into your ritual. Discontinue use immediately if irritation arises.
