Maven Wassailwick’s Herbal Sanctum

09/30/2026

This Sunday at GREEN Bean!

Autumn has a language of its own. Cinnamon whispers warmth and prosperity. Rosemary sweeps away stagnant energy and invites clarity. Clove carries the symbolism of love and abundance. Oranges spread joy and support vitality.

But what do you want your home to feel like this season?

This workshop series teaches you how to brew the perfect cup of loose leaf tea, the art of the summer pot, the folklore behind Autumnal herbs, mindfulness, presence, and intention.

Agenda—We’ll start off with a cozy cup of Sanctum tea while exploring the folklore and magical symbolism of seasonal botanicals. You will be guided through a Mabon-inspired reflection and then use your new knowledge to choose ingredients that resonate with what you want to welcome into this new season to create your own manifestation simmer pot.

We won’t just be tossing ingredients into a pot until our ancestors say “stop.” We’ll use guided visualization to imagine those intentions filling our home as our simmer pot fills the air with its scent. We will close our evening with a bay leaf intention exercise that you can use outside of class.

No experience necessary. Just bring yourself, your curiosity, and an intention for the season ahead.

Limited spots available. Reserve your seat at—simmerpotGB.eventbrite.com

Mabon Blessings & Happy Autumn Equinox!

Today we welcome the Autumn Equinox, that beautiful turning point when light and dark meet in balance and we begin our gentle descent into the cozy half of the year.

And naturally, I welcomed the season the way I know best… with a simmer pot!

Apples, oranges, cinnamon, cloves, star anise, all spice, bay leaf wishes and a little autumn magic filling the house with the scent of the season.

Mabon invites us to pause and notice what has grown, what we’ve gathered, and what we’re ready to release as the wheel turns.

May your home be warm.
May your table be full.
May you recognize the abundance already surrounding you.
And may you enter this next season with intention, gratitude, and a little more room to breathe.

Happy Mabon, friends.
May your autumn be cozy, abundant, and just a little bit magical.

And from my little corner of the Sanctum… the simmer pot season has officially begun.

Meet Saturday’s spotlight Potion for the Temple—

THE SOLACE
Herbal Tea Infusion for Grace
& Sovereign Compassion

I release the weight of my sorrow.
I hold my own heart with grace, forgiveness,
and gentle love.

FROM THE SANCTUM ARCHIVES:
Grief and heartache can feel like a heavy cloak
that is difficult to set aside. When you are
navigating the tender landscape of loss or
struggling to forgive yourself, this infusion
serves as a quiet space for your spirit to exhale.
It softens emotional pain and invites a sense of
profound, rhythmic calm. You only have one
body—offer it the grace of a compassionate
heart.

TO HONOR THE TEMPLE:
1 tsp per 8oz of hot water. Steep 5-7 mins.
Cover to keep essential aromatics in—and
worldly chaos out.
Cup the warm vessel in your palms, close your
eyes, and give yourself permission to simply feel
and be held. *Note from the Keeper: Add a
squeeze of lemon to watch your brew magically
transform.

INGREDIENTS: Linden Flowers, Butterfly
Pea Flowers, Rose petals.

THE CRONE’S COOLING MIST
For Temperance & Sovereign Grace

“I am no longer the hostage. I am the sanctuary.
I reclaim my body with love and reverence.”

FROM THE SANCTUM ARCHIVES:
There is a heavy, silent darkness that settles in
when the heat of the world—the anger, the
frantic pace, the rising temperature of modern
life—begins to flush out your own quiet. You
feel it in the face, the neck, the rising tide of
frustration that feels like it might break your
resolve. I want you to know: you don’t have to
contain that fire until you burn out. This mist is
the whisper of a winter morning in the middle of
a frantic day. It is designed to soothe the temple
and return your system to a state of cool,
calculated grace.

TO HONOR THE TEMPLE:
Shake well. Mist generously over your face,
neck, and pulse points when the air feels heavy.
Breathe deep, and let the cooling sensation
carry away the unnecessary heat of the world.

INGREDIENTS: Witch Hazel, Vegetable
Glycerin, Essential Oils (Lavender, Peppermint,
Clary Sage).

Available for purchase at GREEN Bean.

Join me at my first market on August 15th from 11-6pm at Irvington Lodge Events for live demonstrations!

THE CRONE’S BATH SOAK
For Relaxation & Sovereign Stillness

“I am no longer the hostage. I am the sanctuary.
I reclaim my body in love and reverence."

FROM THE SANCTUM ARCHIVES:
There is a heavy, silent darkness that settles in
when the war you’ve been fighting—the one
behind your eyes, in your muscles, and in the way you hold your breath—finally demands to be laid down.

You have carried the world for so long
that you have forgotten how it feels to simply be
held. This soak is a return to the primordial—
the water that held us before we were formed. It
draws the exhaustion from the marrow of your
bones and dissolves it into the salt. Tonight, you
surrender the weight. The water will hold you
now.

TO HONOR THE TEMPLE:
Draw a warm bath. Add 1/4 cup of your soak to
the water as it fills, watching the botanicals
drift like a garden in bloom. Step in, submerge,
and let the minerals carry the weight of the day
away. Give yourself permission to shed the noise
of the world and return to the sanctity of your
own skin.

INGREDIENTS: Epsom Salt, Baking Soda,
Jojoba Oil, Essential Oils (Lavender,
Peppermint, Clary Sage), Botanicals (Lavender
Buds, Calendula Petals, Rose Petals, Hibiscus).

Now available for purchase at GREEN Bean in Town of Cumberland.

Join Maven at her debut on August 15th, 11-7pm, at Irvington Lodge Events for live demonstrations and freshly scooped tea while supplies last!
