When a Big Offering is Needed
We haven’t spoken much about this product that is available in our apothecary. Strega Tree Apothecary’s The Big Offering is an important one and also embodies the philosophy behind the development of the Apothecary and its products.

Honoring the Ocean
What can one say about the majesty of the ocean and how its very life is being threatened in the same sentence? And yet, that is the situation we find ourselves in, the tension and contradiction we must hold in these times.
As Rachel Carson wrote in her beautiful tome to the ocean, The Sea Around Us:
“It is a curious situation that the sea, from which life arose, should now be threatened by the activities of one form of that life”(xiii).
Water is life and the ocean gave birth to all forms of biological life on this planet. Strega Tree Apothecary offers this bracelet and the ritual that comes with it to honor the ocean and allow the wearer be reminded of its beauty and majesty, to hold the ocean in highest regard. There is a prescriptive ritual included at the request of the Kontomble that will take you to the water’s edge to lean more deeply into this connection.
The Remedy We Wish We Didn’t Need To Offer
The Remedy to Heal Violation
We hate to bring it up and yet, how can we not? We wish no one ever needed it but alas, many, in fact do. Strega Tree Apothecary’s Remedy To Heal Violation came through with compassionate ferocity when the idea of this Apothecary was but a seed. It wanted to bring healing. To right the wrongs that should never have happened. It wanted to offer relief and repair.
It wanted to show care.
We hope you don’t need it but if you do, it’s here for you.
