CLARET CUP CACTUS  Echinocereus triglochidatus 

This beautiful cactus Flower offers us the opportunity to wholly embrace our first and second chakra energies as truly sacred gateways.  Claret Cup Cactus assists us in holding these energies with reverence, reclaiming our birthright as spirit in form without fear, shame, or hesitation. Claret Cup Cactus offers a means to heal the religious and cultural wounds of spirit versus matter and to embrace life in our bodies with full dignity and honor.  It is the cup of new blood that does not have to be spilled for redemption. It reminds us of our right to claim our bodies, our vessels, as whole, holy, and inviolable.

I AM a holy vessel of light.

The Claret Cup Cactus flower was the inspiration for our Desert Collection logo, shown below.
