In the Bleak Midwinter Oil

Contains ashes from Mt. Spurr 1992 eruption 

VERY LIMITED OIL

Crafted with volcanic ash from Mt. Spurr, In the Bleak Midwinter is a ritual oil for grief, remembrance, and coming to terms with the reality of death. A volcano does not erupt according to our wishes or our timeline. Pressure builds beneath the surface until, in a single moment, the landscape is forever changed. Loss often arrives the same way, altering life in an instant and leaving us to navigate a world that no longer feels familiar.

Like Mt. Spurr, grief is rarely one singular event. It rises and settles in cycles. A memory, a date, a dream, or a familiar place can bring those emotions back to the surface without warning. This oil is petitioned to support those moments—not by taking grief away, but by helping you remain standing through each wave.

Just as the mountain remains after every eruption, so do you. The landscape of your life may never be the same, but your spirit endures, learning to walk changed ground while continuing to honor the love that still exists.

This oil may also be worked by those seeking peace with mortality itself. Whether you are grieving someone who has passed, facing the uncertainty of life’s impermanence, or seeking comfort through your own spiritual beliefs about what comes after death, this oil is petitioned to ease fear, strengthen acceptance, and bring peace to a heart learning to live with what cannot be undone.

It does not promise an end to sorrow, nor does it ask you to leave your loved ones behind. Instead, it is worked for peace, remembrance, and the strength to remain standing through every season of loss, trusting in your own spiritual beliefs that love endures beyond what the eye can see.
