ELDERBERRY Sambucus canadensis

I waited many years before I made Elderberry Essence.  Frankly, I was a bit intimidated by the intense ancient wisdom so palpable around this plant.  Asking Elderberry if I could make it into an Essence felt a bit like going up to Moses and saying, "Buddy can you spare a dime?" One auspicious day, Elderberry made the overture and helped me overcome my shyness. The result is a mighty Essence.

This is the one I would consider if life calls you to hold light amidst great darkness. It is an immense and ancient chalice of light and defies the dark the way you see Gandalf do this in the ‘Lord of the Rings.’ The darker the circumstances, the greater Elderberry's voltage and ability to rise up and hold the light.  I hope that you do not need this one too much in your life, but am glad it is there if you do. 

I AM the ancient one offered to you as a brimming cup of light. I AM the light, which dissolves all shadows.
