AGUA DE LA MADRE | A Tribute to Wild Lands + Sacred Waters

Night Blooming Jasmine + Palo Santo in collaboration with Rising Appalachia

This gorgeous myst was crafted in collaboration with our sister sirens Rising Appalachia as a love letter to land, water, and the enduring spirit of community. Once an ode to place, this essence now flows in solidarity, supporting Appalachian resilience in the wake of Hurricane Helene.

Night Blooming Jasmine, a potent flower said to foster peace and protection, is a smell distinct to the beautiful thick air of the South; this fragrance is intrinsically linked to our love of the sultry thick air of the beautiful South and all its magic. Palo Santo, indigenous to Mexico, Costa Rica, Columbia and Peru is used ritualistically as both an energetic cleanser and folk medicine. Our Palo Santo directly supports Indigenous families that wildcraft and replant in the wild.  Imbue in this essence of community power. 

With each bottle, a portion of proceeds goes to the Appalachian Herb Collective, directly aiding biodiversity, restoration and community rebuilding.

"Agua de la Madre is our most recent elemental ballad, a collection of folkloric imagery tied to our love for this wild and stunning earth, the elements of this continent, the power of water and the lands of our North, Central and South American families. It was written and released only DAYS before the catastrophic Hurricane Helene hit Southern Appalachia and changed all our lives forever. It was originally written as a love letter to place, and a love letter between land and sea, and the story of water. Now its meaning has changed so much, being an homage to water after SO much water has ripped through our homes and communities as the rivers rose nearly 19 ft past their banks and swept our towns, studies and homes away. We built the herbal essence Agua de la Madre with our incredible friends of Anima Mundi as a powerful magic essence tied to protection and folk herbalism. And now we are equally inspired to tie this herbal essence to the lands of Southern Appalachia where the bio-diversity is so potent. Agua de la Madre is now part of the relief and recovery work of the Appalachian Mountains." - Leah Song, Rising Appalachia
