Foxglove (Digitalis purpurea), a member of the figwort (Scrophulariaceae) family, is one the most well-recognised cottage garden flowers and is often associated with witchcraft or, from a more practical lense, the attraction beneficial insects. Foxglove is also well known for the cardiac glycoside and pharmaceutical derivative, digoxin, used in cases of heart failure for its ability to increase the force of heart muscle contraction simultaneously with decreased oxygen consumption. It is for this reason, foxglove is considered to be a formidable plant in the garden despite their beauty, for if consumed by an unknowing, inexperienced or over-confident person, death may indeed follow.
Foxglove is a magical plant long associated with faeries, making homes in their spotted bells. Foxglove is often called ‘lusmore’ in Ireland, or ‘the Great Herb’ (english translation), and also fairy-cap – a retreat in which the merry little elves are said to hide themselves when a human foot approaches to disturb their dances.
The bending of the plant's tall stalk is believed to symbolise the presence of supernatural beings, to which the flower is making its curtsy. In the Irish legend of Knockgrafton, the hero, a poor hunchback man named Lusmore, was believed to have a great knowledge of herbs and charms. He always wears a sprig of the fairy-cap in his little straw hat, and hence foxglove has the nickname Lusmore. The legend as I know it tells of Lusmore being welcomed and blessed by the Fae, removing his hunchback in exchange for his musical performance.

The flower essence of foxglove is made through solar infusion, imprinting the flower’s vibration within the water’s energetic matrix. This 15mL bottle is technically a stock bottle, meaning you can further dilute the stock essence to make dosage bottles [read more on Flower Essences, including their method of action, how to use them & how to make up a dosage bottle]. Each stock bottle contains 7 drops of the original mother essence of foxglove.
The virtues of foxglove can be obtained through ingesting the essence, anointing talismans, and candles, and/or adding a few drops to a spray/hydrosol or floor wash.

WHAT ARE FLOWER ESSENCES?
Flower essences are considered to be a form of vibrational medicine containing the energetic imprint of a flower within the matrix of water, as opposed to herbal extracts which contain active constituents that often have a potent effect on the physical body.
Flower essences are believed to have therapeutic properties that can support emotional and spiritual wellbeing. They are often used as a complementary therapy for support through trialling times in life, especially in cases of dis-ease which may or may not be presenting in the physical body yet are rooted in the spiritual & emotional psyche and your electromagnetic field, making them sometimes harder to shift with biologically acting interventions.
It is commonly thought that flower essences act in a similar way to homeopathic preparations. Whilst this is not entirely untrue, it is a complex topic to unravel. In short, a major difference is homeopathic preparations are prepared via more complex methods and are diluted and potentised 200-fold, meaning homeopathic preparations require more skill and attuned application compared to flower essences which can be safely self-chosen & self-administered without causing detrimental imbalances.
ARE THE FLOWER ESSENCES FROM THE OCCULT COLLECTION SAFE?
Because flower essences DO NOT possess the active phytochemicals responsible for these plants’ sometimes toxic nature, they are safe to consume without risk of physiological side effects or drug interactions. It should be noted that some people are more sensitive than others to vibrational and energetic essences or therapies, so if you are wanting a gentler plant spirit to work with, start with the flowers in the Cottage Collection. The flowers in the Occult Collection have strong energetic & esoteric qualities so please read the descriptions to determine if they are right for you and your intention of use.
Each stock flower essence can be diluted further (instructions on making your Dosage Bottles are on your info-card included with your shipment), and you can adjust your dose amount & frequency however you see fit.
If you would like further direction and/or support, please feel free to book in with Jaynaya for a personalised flower essence consultation here.
PLEASE NOTE: Our stock flower essences DO contain alcohol. When using in drop doses, the amount of alcohol is insignificant (less than is present in a ripe banana), however if you cannot tolerate the smell or are allergic to distilled grape alcohol please avoid use.
