oils, creams, and skin (mother nature’s lotions)

I was more then a little shocked, not to mention excited, when I discovered you could use olive oil on your skin. I told everyone I knew about it, most people just looked at me funny, and my friend Zeke said if we got lost in the woods, he was going to eat me first.

Several years along, and I’ve experimented with as many natural or even just non mainstream lotions I could find. I have chronically dry skin, and I have always reacted badly to lotion. So for myself, this discovery had been a little patch of velvety skin on a very very large, coarse, scaly, elephantine dragon creature. I covet my oils and creams, they hold more value to me then nearly anything in my home.

Some things I gotta put out here.

1. Anything you can eat, you can apply to your skin.
2. Anything you apply to your skin, you are eating.
3. Not everything you can apply to your skin ends up with pleasant results.
4. My favorite healing lotion is lightly fermented cream…leave a covered dish at room temperature for a day
5. The cream will be soaked up really fast, follow it with some light oil for an all day affair.

Coconut oil and Avocado oil are two particularly effective ones, but there are probably untold hundreds of others. Nor is it just plant oils, raw cream is straight up essence of miracle. Raw cream is absorbed in through your skin very rapidly, it leaves almost zero residue, and most importantly it heals. Oils offer very serene relief from dry skin, and over time they do imbibe a little extra vitality as well. But if Oils are choral angels singing away your aches and ills, raw cream is the lifeblood of the divine that flows through all things in the kingdom of clouds. There is more healing power in a dab of raw cream then anything I know.
Coconut, Olive, and Avocado oils can be obtained on the grid, plain olive oil will work. In the realm of Knowledge and Gifts, everything works. The question is how well and to what extent. And the only way to find out is to try it and observe. Be present, be patient. This is important. You can listen to me, or you could listen to the FDA, but neither of us give you knowledge. Don’t be afraid, the world is a very forgiving place for the brave.

Raw is the difference between frozen night and blinding light when it comes to oils and cream. The oils and creams we grew up with do not constitute The Whole Story.

And you absolutely cannot trust any label on ANY packaged product no matter WHAT it says about the production method when it comes to raw foods. Companies have zero compunctions selling you a word. To most of them, it’s a just money, raw is worth more money, and it is not a regulated term. They can and will say whatever it takes, be wary and look thrice. You want to look for gifts, not products, gifts come from the land and it’s inhabitants, products come from PR designers.

Have you come by any gifts that make you really excited lately?  Please post and share them with us!

Magic

Yes, that is with a Capital ‘C’. =) I was thinking today about what sorts of things I could write. Lists are hugely effective at drawing crowds, but there is something so dull about them, unless perhaps it is a topic that already interests you I suppose. So…stick to things that interest me. Hmmm. What interests me? What REALLY interests me? No faking it here!

Magic. There has never been anything so enticing to me as magic. Video games used to hold it, not so much though after I discovered Mushrooms and Trees and People. I’m afraid of people…but thats okay, because they’re afraid of Magic. What is Magic?

Well…magic is in my eyes and your eyes. You can feel it when they touch you, if you lock into them, it rushes through your skin. Hops and flies…prickling and pushing. Eyes definitely have magic.

The sun knows magic. How do you know? Well, your skin knows. My skin knows, and her skin…her skin REALLY knows. And if your skin knows Sun magic…then your skin must have some skin magic too, else how’d it recognize the Sun magic in the first place?
